Salary range for product analyst (fresher) at startups? What to do if the new organization is asking for reference number of my manager in a situation where I don't have a good relationship with the manager?

The salary range of a product analyst (fresher) ranges from 4LPA to 10 LPA which depends on a lot of factors such as: • The stage where the company is at and their budget for the role (early-stage startup, bootstrapped startup, Funded startup, unicorn and MNC etc) • location of the company, candidate's degree/qualification and any previous experience such as an internship. There are a few things that I would suggest for the reference situation: • If you have also worked with a different manager during your tenure at your previous employer and your relationship is good with that manager, you can provide their details for the reference • The other thing that I would recommend is being honest with your new employer about your not-so-good relationship with your previous boss, but do tell them about some instances that caused that situation. Also, give them a few good references like co-workers that you know will not say anything bad about you. Make sure to provide them with a brief overview of the role and explain what’s most important, so they can tailor their responses accordingly while still being truthful. • You can also reach out to your previous boss (if the situation isn't that ugly) and tell them about the reference check
