  • You should know the market value for the job your applying for .Ask someone already working in the same job or experienced people before hand as to what can you expect.
  • If suppose the market stands as 2.4.Never give an exact figure. Give them a range (you may end up getting what u asked rather than a higher amount sometimes).

  • Something like "I am expecting anything between 2.3 and 2.7lac"
  • If you want to still play safe Specify how much take away your expecting ( Net salary after all expenses cut from company side).

·         Let me inform you that, even if you quote high salary you will not be paid higher salary. If you quote less salary you will not be paid less. This case is applicable for all freshers. They do have their norms for salary structure and would be purely based on that.

·         The interviewer just wants how would you justify the salary paid to you. Be informed about the salaries to be paid if selected. Giving a range would be a good idea and go for that. If he questions you to justify, give him the extra qualifications and the market price without quoting any example unless insisted upon.

·          Never give any vague answers like "Whatever you wish?", "Market price", "Suitable to my talent". Just be brave and quote. Never look down in an interview that depicts lack of confidence.

  • All the things are almost covered. First thing to be considered is that to be aware of the package in market. Then one can go for the norms in the company. If forced can give a range as per your expectation. No problem with that. If the qualification and knowledge go with the figure you specified you might get the job...

  • Salary is not a constraint for me. The opportunity which u are giving me is more valuable to me. I know that the salary will be given to me according to the industry standards. As this is one of the top MNC, I am sure that I will get the pay according to the standards.

·         Generally this question is avoided in campus interviews at graduate level where all the students are at same level of education and with no experience. Also, they would be having a pre-placement-talk (ppt) detailing every thing so matter of concern. If at all this question arises, quote a value similar to any other company coming for campus interviews. But just don’t worry; it would be of no importance in your selection unless you don’t speak anything.

Hi Veena,

            Take few moments from your life and sit down and relax. Not getting selected is not a failure, quitting is. Just think, are you just cutting trees with your old axe and may be you just forgot the sharpen it. You need to tone your skills as per the requirement. Nowadays you find this group as well as many websites to give lot of question papers asked in different companies. Collect as much as you can and take printouts and sit down and work on it. Write down the answers as if it were your assignment. Do your homework well and the results will take care of it. It is good that you have done C and C++, is there anything that you are different from others or you know the same stuff what others do get from books. Did you apply your innovativeness into it? I would like to give an example here, there was a students who have done his Java and web designing and he didn’t prepare his resume on paper but gave an short animation movie kind of thing to project himself and he posted his URL to different companies and also, it is said that he got offers from 180 companies and now he is in Microsoft. Go on with little improvement day by day and you will end up successful in life. You can also refer to some articles posted in My Experience & Contribution on interview experiences and being in C, you can attempt all those quizzes hosted by sureshkumar.net.
