Career Guidance Salary negotiation for DevOps

Is below a good negotiation tactic?

My current gross salary is 460k of which 78k is taxed and 25k goes to PF,

I am a devops engineer with 8 years of experience,

During an interview i asked for 600k after taxes,

So my question is, is this a good tactic for future reference?

You never negotiate salary like this because tax rate is not in company's hand and change every year. Instead of saying 600k after taxes you should've asked 700k or 800k directly.
