Is 20.5 LPA at 4.5 years of experience too low in Bangalore?

I have 4.5 years of experience. 5 Salesforce certifications. I have good knowledge of communities, proficient in Apex, LWC, Flow, Security. Current CTC is 13 LPA (2 variable + 11 fixed). This was offered to be 2.5 years back. Have not got any promotions or major increments although I think I deserved them. According to my previous poll post votes I came to know that the salary should be more than 25 LPA. I am trying to know how high I can expect?

Seeing a lots of discussion about people complaining about inflated salary, it's quite sad to see such discussions. Take SWE for example, so an swe is expected to move to an expensive city with high travel and food expenses, scant housing options with landlords hiking the price 40-80%, work 8 hrs a day and sometimes even 12. And if he's drawing 20-30LPA he's considered overpaid?! Not to mention the guy has to pay a huge chunk to the government and we're not americans who don't care about their family and have to take care of them as well. We're all overworked and underpaid (if you consider the amount of hrs one work and how much they are paidpaid in abroad) and considering the situation still underpaid. There may be people who might be drawing a high salary and barely do any work (considering they take a lot of leaves and don't put time and effort in work) but that should be the discussion of the inadequate framework for calculating better metrics for productivity and how companies fail to do their due diligence, instead of complaining about high salary. This affects us all and if we all think that salaries are inflated it only hurts us more.

I might get an offer from the company which is ready to give me good amount of money, but it's in banglore , I do wfh right now 2+ exp, how much should I ask so that I can live life to the fullest there, here is what I have calculated: My expenses in HSR layout: around 50k My investments: around 50k My saving and other stuff to enjoy my life there and send money to my parents also: 60k Total: 1.6lakhs per month atleast For that I need to have 24lpa as a base.. plus I need some relocation bonus. Is my expected salary at banglore less or more? How should I start my salary negotiation?

I got a job offer of 10 LPA base as a Business Analyst at a BFSI company. The work is full remote with an option to do hybrid as well. The office is in Bangalore and I really want to move there since it’s just the starting of my career and I feel like I could learn a lot by being in office, but idk if I can afford Bangalore rent and COL with this base. Any inputs (including your thoughts on if I should stay remote or move to Bangalore) are appreciated.

Graduated in 2021 have 2 yoe working in a b2b unicorn as sde-1, earning 20lpa fixed no esops. I made one switch last year. But now I realised I was learning more in my previous product company. Here most of the work is boring like writing repeated sql queries minor bug fixes and very little coding. Is 20lpa low as per industry standards for 2 yoe in bengaluru ?

Comment down below your CTC and Experience and let others judge you that you need a switch or not. Mine is 7 LPA, Newly joined at Deloitte USI.

I’m interested to understand salary range for a full stack developer of 12 yoe in service based company.

The title is self explanatory. 6YOE Is it a good offer?
