Checklist before you hit send
- Last CTC, offered CTC, hike %, monthly increase — checked once.
- In-hand estimated under the regime you actually use.
- One ask only: number, next review date, or scope.
- Delivery from this cycle in one sentence, not a novel.
Below 10% — tight
Hi — sharing context before I sign. Last CTC: ₹[last]. Offered: ₹[current] ([hike]% / about ₹[monthly] more a month). In many software cycles, under 10% lags typical market movement. I’d like to discuss a revision, an early next review, or a role/skill path that gets us closer to market. Happy to walk through delivery from this cycle whenever it suits.
10–20% — market-range (12% lives here)
Hi — thank you for the letter. Last CTC: ₹[last]. Revised: ₹[current] ([hike]% / about ₹[monthly] more a month). This sits in a typical band. I’d still like to confirm the in-hand change and the next review date, and flag the work I want to stretch into this year. I will sign after that short alignment.
20%+ — strong
Hi — thank you, this is a strong revision. Last CTC: ₹[last]. Revised: ₹[current] ([hike]% / about ₹[monthly] more a month). I’d like to document the scope this hike is tied to, and the skills I should double-down on so we repeat this next cycle. I’ll confirm in-hand and sign shortly.
