How much do you really earn? Honest Answers Please 🙏
I want to understand if you are also satisfied with your compensation?
80L base, not satisfied at all. I am barely able to save 20-30% of salary after paying for rent, food, etc.
Once I hit 1.5cr then things might get somewhat better

Not a developer.
Not in Tier 1 city.
Not in FAANG or whatever it’s called now.
No loans or EMIs for now.
Married to my GF of six years. She earns 1.3 lakhs/month.
Guess, I could say I am extremely satisfied.

1. Upgrade your skills like crazy. If you offer skills and services and experience that can't be matched easily, you'll definitely be paid handsomely. Skills, experience and their demonstration gives companies reason to trust you, and a handsome salary is a reasonable price to pay from their POV. Keep in mind, for the same role your peers might get 0.75x or 2x your salary because of what they bring to the table.
2. Make sure you practically apply #1 in your current job. Get aggressive to learn and experience stuff. Make fast fail fast grow fast. First 5-7 years should be hectic to upgrade skills and experience. Become Mr Dependable.
3. Negotiate better. Don't back down from your number. When they ask you the salary range, give one number, not a range, and tell them it's non negotiable and very well thought out. Don't let them make you feel guilty or bad because of your number. If they can't give, then they can't afford you. Simple as is. Also check this nice video out - https://youtu.be/Gr861i8aB3k I didn't have this when I last negotiated, but this really boils down to what I used to do in all my negotiations. Definitely implement all he says. I would even say he mentioned one brilliant point of "don't do their work" ie, don't think oh no maybe they can't give me X so I guess I should just take X-10. NO. Fuck that. Repeating again : if they can't give you what you want, then they can't afford you. Don't let them talk you into lower number because of bs excuses like "but the industry standard is X-10" etc.
4. Don't underestimate yourself. A friend of mine applied to a company he thought was out of his league. That was 4 years ago. He is now earning very handsomely in it. He gave it a chance and applied thinking apply karne me kya hi ja raha. You'll miss 100% of the shots you don't take etc.
5. Have a good network of colleagues and peers. Goto events, make connections. Have genuine good professional relationships and maybe even out of office frien

#5 continued. Having good network and friends opens up many doors like crazy. I think we should probably have a thread about that as well, I'm sure lot of us have lots of stories of how our network and contacts landed us great jobs.

My CTC and side hussle makes upto >30LPA but i still sometime feels its same as I started my career with 1 LPA in 2013... 😂
Basically guys CTC is just a number in my opinion... But ofcourse crying in a Mercedes feels somewhat comforting... 🤣
I hope everyone here makes more than 10 times me soon, thanks for being honest folks.. God bless you all 🙏
Crying in Mercedes won't be comforting.
Imagining that you ll get get to cry in merc is comforting.😄✋

~1.5 cr cash + 80l stocks. Definitely enough to live a good lifestyle. But life hasn’t changed much since I earned 30L.
Areas like passion, interest, people fit, work life balance still remains a concern while working in a job.

IT salaries are good in the long run IMO ... But holds true all other profession as well to some degree
I started with 20k per month, now it is close to 3lpm. That's how IT salaries can grow.

20 lpa 7 YoE. My teammates earns around 40 lpa same level
I was 13 LPA till 4 yoe.
Now, 4 years later, I earn many multiples of this. If you’re in tech, you can easily make the same. All the best, go for it!

65 lakhs per annum (pre bonus). Bonus ranges from 10% to 20% depending on the year.
14 years experience
Wife is a doctor and used to make 2.5 lpm but is not working for the past 4 years as we have toddlers to look after.
I have a side gig as well which makes decent money (around 2 lakhs per month). Also, we do most of our investment in real estate (commercial and residential) and the rental income per month is around 65k.
I will turn 40 next year and I feel secure financially.

Very well planned. Investing in commercial real estate for rental income is a very prudent move.

Thanks. Commercial RE rental yields are high but it is also the most sensitive to economic cycles. I have seen commercial properties with high footfall being sold in distress. So both pros and cons :)
