Why You Should Always Negotiate
Research shows that professionals who negotiate their starting salary earn ₹5,000–₹20,000 more per month than those who don't — for the exact same job.
Step 1: Know Your Market Value
Before any salary conversation, research what your role pays in your city. SpaNaukri salary data shows: Spa Therapist in Mumbai: ₹20,000–₹45,000. Spa Manager in Delhi: ₹70,000–₹1,20,000.
Step 2: Let the Employer Reveal the Budget First
When asked your expected salary, say: "I'm flexible and would love to know the budget for this role first."
Step 3: Anchor High
Name a number 15–20% above what you'd accept. Negotiation typically settles in the middle.
Step 4: Negotiate Benefits Beyond Salary
- Performance review at 6 months instead of 12
- Extra leave days
- Free treatments allowance
- Training budget for a new certification
