BasTalk - life at work.
Welcome world, to BasTalk - your podcast about life at work, where we talk about stuff that no one really tells you at work. That said if you are looking for some major management mumbo jumbo, this is not it. BasTalk has no life-changing advice, no get-rich-quick insights, or paradigm-shifting fluff stuff to transform your life or turn you into a superhero overnight. Instead, it is a simple, slow burn, straight talk. If you're patient enough to listen to some practical and tactical insights from my 20+ years of corporate experience, then BasTalk might be the right podcast for you. Think of it as a constant companion while you are stuck in the traffic of office life or struggling to get on that morning walk of your career, BasTalk is with you. There are various topics, from people management and leadership to career insights and navigating office culture and politics as well. The goal, idea is to make you rethink, reflect and revisit many aspects of your career and life at work and see if you could do it any differently. If not, that's okay too! BasTalk is not etched in stone, it's a work in progress and the content on topics evolve as I learn, experience, and reflect on my own journey. I welcome you all to walk the BasTalk!

Salary Games : What's your last salary?

Salary Games : What's your last salary?

Last salary? Well, let's just say my salary was like a Bollywood movie - a lot of drama, not much substance, and definitely not worth the price of admission! Recruiters asking for my last salary? Oh, I'm sorry, I thought this was a job interview, not a Bollywood film where my financial history is the main plot twist!

The question of whether or not recruiters should ask for a candidate's last salary is a contentious one. Now, I know what you're thinking - what does Bollywood have to do with salary negotiations? Well, just like a Bollywood film, salary negotiations can be full of drama, suspense, and unexpected plot twists. And sometimes, the plot can get slightly ridiculous, just like in a Bollywood movie.

So, in this episode, I'll dive deep into the challenges and absurdities of recruiters asking for your previous salary details. We'll explore how this practice can perpetuate pay disparities and discrimination and share some hilarious stories of wrong salary negotiations.

So, grab your coffee, old monk or Bordeaux, and get ready to join the conversation as I tackle this tricky topic head-on. It's time to take a stand against the forces holding us back and demand the compensation we deserve. Let's do this, BasTalkers!
