The reality of hotel management is something different from what people know outside. So don’t be confuse about salary after hotel management in India. I will let you know exactly how much you will get paid after hotel management.
Salary after Hotel Management
Salary after doing hotel management is a myth. Everyone thinking If you have done hotel management then you will get Rs.40,000 or Rs.50,000 per month. You will get better than this but not just after completing your course. If you want to earn good money in the hotel industry then you need to stick longer with this company.
Your salary depends on many things after hotel management like your position, Company, etc. Many of them don’t know these factors, So today I will clear this myth from your mind.
How a Company is most Important for your Salary
It is very important after hotel management that what company you are joining like five-star hotels, for star hotels, three-star hotels, etc. If you have joined a five-star hotel then you will get a low salary at the beginning but later once you get experience then it will grow much better.
But if you join four-star hotels or three-star hotels after completing your college then at the beginning you might get a better salary but later your salary will not increase as compared to a five-star hotel experience. So please think twice be before choose your property after hotel management.
How Your Position is most important for your Salary
Yes, Your position is very important, If you are looking for a good salary after hotel management. Your salary totally depends on your position. During your campus interview, you have three different options to get a better position. 1. Management Training, 2. Operational Training, and 3. Associate.
1. Management Trainee (MT) Program
If you are selected as a Management Trainee in a good property then you will have to work as a management trainee for at least 18 months and your salary will be around Rs. 18,000 to Rs. 20,000 per month.
During your training, you will work all departments available in the hotel like Front Office, Food & Beverage Service, Food & Beverage Production, Housekeeping, Human Resource, Finance, Security, Sales, and Marketing, etc.
After completing your training period you will have to clear an internal exam with HOD and Directors of the hotel.
Once you clear your management trainee program then you will get promoted as outlet Manager and your salary will increase by 20% to 30% of your current salary.
2. Operational Trainee (OT) Program
The operational trainee program is quite different from the Management Trainee Program. If you are selected as an Operational Trainee in any five-star property then you will have to work as an Operational trainee for at least 18 months and your salary will be around Rs. 16,000 to Rs. 18,000 per month.
After completing your training period you will have to clear an internal exam with HOD and Directors of the hotel.
After completing your Operational Trainee program then you will get promoted as outlet Supervisor and your salary will increase by 20% to 30% of your current salary.
3. Associate
Associate is not any program in the property, It is just a position where you will start your career from scratch level. Here you will not do any kind of cross-training to a different department, you will just work in your core department.
If you will not get any program like MT, OT then this is the opportunity for you.
Here your promotion depends upon you like how fast you learning the things, and how fast you are implementing yourself. If you learn within a year then you have an opportunity to get promoted within a year.
Your salary will be very low as it is a scratch level job but this is a golden opportunity to work with class management in the industry. Your average salary may be between Rs.10,000 to Rs. 12,000 per month.
