40-50L is a new normal in IT now?
getting 40 or 50 L is becomming normal in todays days and earning 1L is poor???


It appears so.
Also most of these packages come with esops. People only mention their total comp and not their cash in hand.
not necessary always

Yeah! If they say 35LPA CTC in hand would be around 1.9 to 2.1. after tax and other standard deductions

Let me give you an answer with a question. What percentage of Jio employees earn more than 40 LPA? Looking up is needed for growth but you can't skip the reality. Most people are not even making 1 LPM.

Jio is just big desi company man

Correct. You have less risk there. Startups are high risks, high rewards. It's not an apple to apple comparison.

I make 5LPA+ and feel shit when I see insta stories of vacations, dinners and expenditures of my collegemates earn more than 10LPA+. I have to switch in first half of 2026 to some product company man .

Same story

All that's needed is Leetcode, system design practice and an effective application strategy. Good things will come, you're just getting started.

Only those who has niche skills earning more than 40L

Which skills

@introvert_dev neech skills 😂

lol 18 years in the industry still not at 35L forget about 40-50L hahaha that is start up if they give they make you slog more than corporate employees and the expect answers and codes faster than chat gpt would give you
