And when your salary is pegged to the company I you're currently in - is it meritocracy? Then simply my current company can keep my salary same for years knowing that if I change job, I will anyway get a standard raise... the one that I will probably (!) get in my corrent job if I wait a bit longer.sundaymorningstaple wrote:It's not meritocracy when your salary is pegged to a country you are not even in rather than the job and expertise you bring with you. Meritocracy is a joke here.
Excuse me, I want to know how much are they willing to pay for what they are looking for before I even bother to think about changing job. I want to be the filter, it is in my own interest. Why in the hell such a demand that I should disclose my salary... followed by a huge load of verbal diarrhea - sublogical reasoning why it is in my own interest (???) to do that.Wd40 wrote:The job market in Singapore is like the first filter is the salary. They ask you your current salary because if they know that your current salary is already higher than their budget, then there is no further scope for discussion.
Actually I was told by one of VPs that keeping most of the staff as contractors on vendor's payroll is cheaper than offering permanent positions. So that is another piece that I don't understand the logic behind it.Wd40 wrote:C**t*l and another Op**m*m
I am sure the 'recruiter' on this board will agree, when I say that, most recruiters do everything to send candidates to clients, and hope one of them fit the bill, so they can make their placement feeSergei82 wrote:So it is a question of who wants more: the candidate to change/find the job or the company to hire the candidate. "How much do you earn?" == company may save money, "How much will you pay?" == candidate can get a better gain.
So if I am already employed, why those recruters are still ripping their asses apart to get my salary out of me? Even after I told them how much do I want to get if I change the job. Assholes!
I know how much is paid to the vendors. My colleague who is on vendor payroll was accidently copied on a email exchange that included the per day billing rate of the same colleague.zzm9980 wrote:At my company, the budget for a contractor vs for an employee come from different parts of the budget, so that's primarily why we like contractors.
If those poor guys in India knew how much we paid InfoSys and TCS for them they'd probably sh!t.
Anyway to your question sergei, just answer that you're under an NDA that specifically prohibits disclosing details about your salary. Then just tell them you can talk ballparks of your overall comp, give them inflated numbers, and take it from there. Some of the scummy recruiters will write you off, but you probably don't want to deal with them anyway.
