Money is the reason why most of the people switch their jobs. But, what if the salary expectations of an employee are too high? The founder and CEO of Vanshiv Technologies, Gaurav Khetarpal, recently shared how he had to turn down a very good applicant due to her salary increment demands. Khetarpal shared a post on X that stated an applicant, who presently earns Rs 28 lakh annually, has only four years of experience. She had asked for a bundle of Rs 45 lakh which is 17 Lakhs higher than her current earning. The HR jokingly says to take a loan to hire her.

He shared a screenshot of a conversation with HR in the post captioning it, “That moment when you come across a really good candidate. You ask HR to screen the candidate & they report the numbers”.

HR suggests taking a loan
She is demanding to receive a bundle of Rs 45 lakhs. Therefore, it is preferable to laugh it off. HR joked in the chat he further added “We’ll have to take a loan to hire this girl.”
Many responses to this tweet are going viral. While others contended that employers should offer deserving candidates a fair raise, others countered that paying such a high amount to someone with only four years of experience is excessive.
The public reaction to this was, ” If the candidate is worth it, then you should hire her, as it is tough to get good employees” ” one commented. Another said “My Salary at 4 yr experience was 0. I can understand the pain of bootstrapped companies and MSMEs in hiring currently. Although people have the right to ask for the salary they feel they deserve. While companies like us can aim to reach a stage where we can pay that much”.
