Base:

2,806 respondents to the DQ-IDC Best Employer Survey 2007
There

was a drop in those getting 31-35% hike, but the average salary hike

increased a bit from 18.2% to 18.7%. This is distinct from the growth

in average salary,
as the hike applies only to those employees who got

a hike (this excludes freshers and recent lateral hires) while these

employees do contribute to the overall growth in average salary (See box:
