Any SDE between 2-5 YOE, who moved to Europe from India, Please enlighten us about the process, and salary & savings.- Grapevine

Hi Grapevine, Just curious to know your thoughts of going to the US/EU as an SDE during the early age of your career. 
Maybe not now but within 1 year. Pure motivation is money and will definitely come back to India in a couple of years .

TC - 18 lpa
YOE - 1.7

Is it worthwhile, Going to the US, Europe as an SDE

I’m a SDE with 2 yoe. I work at a top place in India and am quite well satisfied with my work (compensation & learning wise both). I see a lot of my friends now starting to move abroad for their MS. I know the drill in general, that MS in CS is just a 1 crore rupee entry ticket people pay to get access to the US job market (of course there is learning involved, but MS in CS isnt really a research course). I can see that most people who do this do it because they’re unable to find a top job here or are dissatisfied. 

At times I feel, will I miss out if I don’t abroad at the right time? Then sometimes when logic prevails, I realise I gain very little by going abroad (maybe a lifestyle increase due to being in a first world). 

My question to you all : Would you be willing to move abroad even if you got/have a top job here in India?

Is FOMO on moving abroad valid?

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

I'm a software professional making 50LPA in India.

Getting offers from Germany, Spain for 100000 euros per year.

What should I choose? Relocating to Europe or stay back in India? How are savings in European countries compared to India? 

I know quality of life will be better in Europe. But is it true that you feel alone there (being away from family)?

Anybody with similar experience?

Hey folks, I'm a recent graduate, got a job at a startup and the base will be <15, >10. Shifted to Bangalore (more like returning after 6 years, lived for 4 years before that). 

Since I'll be starting my full time journey soon, I want to know how you guys split your take home salary into needs, wants, luxury, savings, investing etc. 

Currently, I'm in a rented flat in HSR (my split is 7k) and will rent out/buy some home appliances. Food would be around 10k a month (no maid, all outside).

I just want to know your experiences on spending and handling money. Not that I'm bad at it, but this is the start of my journey and I would like to know how other people manage their money, so I'd know if I have to tweak some things. 
Do tell any strict DOs/DONTs, common mistakes.

How do you manage your money? (SDE version)

Intern

Folks I’m thinking of moving to Europe from India. I’m a software developer with 1.5 YOE. I want to move to Europe to explore different places in Europe and experience life outside India. My main goal is not to save a lot of money (I’ll be okay with saving as much as I save in India). I want to work outside India for a couple of years and then return back to India. 

What are your suggestions on moving to Europe? Which country is best for software developers in Europe at the moment?

What are the companies in Europe that are sponsoring visa? How should I prepare for interviews in Europe.

Your suggestions and guidance are much appreciated. 

YOE - 1.5
TC - 14.5(Base)

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I work for a Series A start-up in Bangalore. I have 5 YOE and my current base is 21 LPA and ~5L worth of ESOPs a year.

Seeing Grapevine salary charts, I feel I might be underpaid. Should I negotiate or look for other opportunities or is the base I am getting now alright?

Am I being underpaid for SDE 2?

Hi peeps, I am interested in exploring backend software developer/tech lead roles in Europe. Can you please share any leads or companies operating in Europe. Also, what is the salary one would expect for 7 yoe in Europe ?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Is FIRE the latest obsession because people have no other passion in life? Is it because they have aced school, college, High package(due to recent surge in salaries) and now don't know what is the next mission in life?

One argument is that they want freedom to do great things, but as I see the drive to do great things comes when people are put in constraints and difficulties. Not when they have freedom..

Why is everybody chasing FIRE?

Everyone wants Fire because they understand all that hustling and work for your passions is bullcrap and chilling and enjoying life is a much better alternative.

I'm an SDET 3 with 9yrs of experience and working in London for the last 3 years. 
I've got an opportunity to change my employer which is offering a £72k package. 
Also, I have an offer of 28L in Bangalore city and I'm sure I can get at least a bit more than this (around 32-33L)

Has anyone gone through the same and can suggest

UK or India

Software Test - QA

I am considering a move to Seattle to explore the city and potentially start afresh. I currently holds the position of Software Development Engineer SDE 2 in Amazon India and if I transitions to Amazon Seattle, I would again assume the role of SD Two. I am bit unsure whether this move would be beneficial for me. Should we opt for staying in India as an SDE 2 or relocating to Seattle as an SD?

SDE 2 in India or SDE 2 in Seattle US?

Moving abroad is no longer exciting

Hi,

I have been working in the Software Industry for the past 9 years. I feel like I have made a good use of my time and money and maybe some of my lessons can help you folks as well. Recently did a calculation for my NW and I am happy and proud to see my NW crossing 2CR+. I have 0 debt and do not own a house. Here is how my portfolio look like

TC: 1.3 Cr
YOE: 9

I am happy to do an AMA. Ask me anything about tech, career, love, marriage, money management, therapy, songs and movies.
#Ask Me Anything #ama #amazon #atlassian #google #startups #bengaluru #networth #money management #finance #india

Sorry if delay in responses, I'll answer all your questions eventually.

[AMA] 9 years in Software Engineering in India. NW 2.5Cr

I see a lot of similar questions and I'll try to answer them here.

>>>>>>CTC Progression<<<<

My current CTC is 1.3CR . 50% is cash, 50% is stocks.

Here is my CTC progression over the years

1st - 12L
2nd - 12L (Switched Companies)
3rd - 15L 
4th - 24L (Switched companies)
5th - 42L (Switched Companies)
6th - 48L
7th - 66L
8th - 72L
9th - 1.3Cr (Switched Companies)

As you can see I almost everytimg doubled my compensation when I switched my companies. But there are reasons to stay at a company as well. If you are learning and are able to handle different problems at scale, stay. When you feel stuck, leave and look for better opportunities. I have never switched job to get more money. I love CS. I have been coding since 15 years. What made me switch was either bad managers, uninteresting problems not visibility of learning and growth.

Hi folks,
I'm 4+ YoE and currently serving notice. Please LMK if your org or anyone in your network is hiring.

Current role - SDE 2 Backend
Expected TC - 45 to 50+ LPA

Any SDE between 2-5 YOE, who moved to Europe from India, Please enlighten us about the process, and salary & savings.
