Benefit: Paid Holidays / Vacation (India)

I am geting 11,000/- K Per Month. I asked my Finance Head & he allowd Rs.2,000/- as my re-imbursement claims for conveyance & mobile Expenses.

When I first started this job I worked alongside another assistant, but she didn't last long and I ultimately ended up doing both jobs on my own. I thought I deserved a higher salary but I was initially hesitant to ask for it.

The hard part for me was finding the right words to describe what I wanted. I didn't want to come off as disgruntled. I also wasn't sure when to ask and I kept putting it off.

I waited until the company's review cycle. I repeated (in my head) the word "fair", over and over. I tried to think about what problems my manager was dealing with, and how I was helping to solve them.

I said: "I know its been hard to fill the other position. Since i'm working out and getting the job done, i'd like to be compensated fairly."

I got a 7% raise and $500 bonus! And, my boss eventually also hired another assistant to help me with my workload.

Apply for many companies simultaneously, get multiple offers and pit them against each other.

Be temperate in everything and be aggressive. Do things at the right time.

For last 12 years I am working on my own as an IT consultant to urban banks. The knowledgebase I have acquired getting bits of knowledge whereever I can find and have applied them practically. Over the period I came to know that the knowledgebase with me has been is recognised as standard world wide. Now I want myself to use the same at a broad sprectum instead of using it at urban level. I feel that this experience is going to benefit the company at a large scale.
