Interview Q&A / HR & Behavioral

1. What are your salary expectations as a fresher?

   First, try to let the company share its range, saying you are flexible and more focused on the role. If pressed, give a researched range, not a single number, and be clear whether you mean CTC or in-hand pay. For campus roles with a fixed package, simply say you are comfortable with the package offered.

2. What is the difference between CTC and in-hand salary?

   CTC is the total yearly cost of employing you, including employer PF, gratuity, variable pay and benefits. In-hand is what reaches your bank account monthly after deductions like your PF share, professional tax and income tax.
