Salary bands by experience, in-hand calculator, and the resume tweaks that move you up a band — for iOS Developer roles in Bangalore (Karnataka).

What drives the band you land in
Three things move you up a band in Bangalore: domain depth (have you shipped a real, measurable outcome in the same domain?), scale (have you worked at the scale they're hiring for?), and signal (does your resume show the right keywords without buzzword padding?). The first two are years of work. The third is 30 seconds of tailoring.

Negotiation tips (Bangalore-specific)
- Bangalore HRBPs typically have 15-25% headroom on first-offer CTC. Push back politely once.
- Use band data: name a specific number tied to the band. "I'm tracking towards [X] LPA based on my offers" beats "I want more money".
- Don't disclose your current CTC unprompted. India law allows you to skip it.
- Joining bonuses are negotiable; relocation reimbursements (out-of-Bangalore) are almost always negotiable.
- Variable pay structure matters — get the % of variable in writing, not the on-target number.
