8 YOE in Oracle Transport Management. What should be market standard CTC?

I have 2 years, 10 months and 9 days of experience as a java developer at TCS, now i have an interview scheduled for another day company XYZ, my CTC in tcs was 4.1 lpa and company XYZ the CTC range for Senior Software Engineer role is around 13 to 18 lpa ( I got to know this internally, HR didn't tell me this ). Also, My skills and experience are a perfect match with the job description. So when HR ask me about my expected CTC, what should be my range so that I may not end up asking very less than I could get. Also, it could not be an unrealistic number. What range should I give ? 9 to 12 is fine? Or any suggestions would help me a lot... Note - Notice Period - Immediate and I personally know the manager of the team I am going to join (if hired) in XYZ company but I don't know HR personally.

Hi, I have been with CTS for past 10 years and my CTC is still at 12.6 L. Now, i have started looking for oppurtunities and How much CTC can i expect with overall experience of 11 years and with PLSQL, SQL & Linux background?

Management has tried to underpay us all this time. We deserve to know what is the real salaries for our YOE? I am being paid 24.6L CTC / 2 YOE. What about you?

What was your first ever CTC and what's your current CTC with YoE? I'll start - 1.6 to 9.8 in 4 years. This post is intended to give hope to freshers and motivation to experienced folks.

Current CTC: 19 LPA YOE: 4 Designation: Frontend Developer 2 What is the average CTC for this role and yoe? Should I start looking out for a job change?

Wanted to check the ideal CTC as per the market standard.
