Salary plateau at 15 yoe+?

While the starting salaries and salaries at <10 yoe have really sky rocketed and this is good for the ecosystem, wanted to understand what happens to salaries in tech/product post 15 yoe+. I’m curious about this especially because it doesn’t tie up with income tax data. Assuming seniors leaders in tech and product would be making 1 cr+ easily and most of these would have formal streams of income that can’t be hidden easily, income tax department reports only around 1.3 lakh individuals (2 year old data though) who had taxable income above 1 cr. Even if the number has risen to 2 lakhs now, it still doesn’t tie back to the stories here of many people making above 1 cr. Is the income tax data wrong or are the salaries plateauing at around 80-90L or have people found some amazing ways of saving tax. Just curious!

Most people don't make 1 cr at 10 or 15 yoe in IT industry in India. The high salaries you see are only from top unicorns and few selected MNCs. It's a data bias as high earners are most likely to reveal their CTC. There would be hardly 50 companies in India paying above 1 cr for senior/staff level. And assuming each of these companies having around 100-150 folks in that position, total number of such people in IT would be around 10k at max.

Valid methods but I’m still wondering about people drawing high salaries from startups. Is it normal for startup to offer such methods (like quit and become a consultant) for employees to save tax?

How do you people make so much in your 20s?

You all might obviously guess that I'm speaking about the other two posts in which each of them in their early 20s making 50+ LPA and 70+ LPA respectively. Honestly curious, how do these guys get paid so much? I feel like salaries in IT industry are heavily inflated. I'm from EEE background, trying so hard to find a job in Data field. I've previously worked in my field for 3 years, but the growth seemed pretty less in the long run, hence the switch. Finding a job as a fresher (in IT industry) is so hard man. I'm mainly looking for the startups. They either ask for experience, or the pay is very similar to what I made previously in my field. (which is <10 LPA). Above all, I'm not even getting responses from companies for my applications. So yeah, how do people in their 20s make so much in the IT industry? Is it only FAANGand big corps or applicable to startups as well (like unicorns etc)???
