Salary in top product based companies follow around 10 * YOE

10*YOE was a boom thing. Typical salaries are lower. More like 6-8x of YOE.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I recently got an offer for a founding engineer role at a very early stage startup. The product is not out yet and the role is meant to be building the initial product to be sold to customers who have showed interest in it. The startup is in the payment ops space.

The comp offered is 15lpa and equity of 10lac or 0.5% whichever is higher. I have 3.5yrs of experience and left my job in October last year. I had an exponential growth in my package while moving companies and made 45lpa + ESOPS in my last job, starting with 4.5lpa as a fresher.

I know that I might not be able to get the same comp now given the scenarios in the software and tech industry. 

I wanted to know how to best analyse a comp package for a founding engineer role, particularly at this point in time?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

For people in tech companies - when does the yearly CTC reach above 1 CR. Is it 5 years of work ex or 10 years of work ex? 

It’s funny I even ask this because in many traditional industries 1 CR CTC takes 20 years to happen. Tech is blessed in that way

When do people start making 1 CR+ at top companies?

Business Analyst

It's slightly long - It would be great if you could guide me!

Total Experience: 7 years
Domain: Sales
Education: Tier 2 Engineering College
Current TC:  Rs. 60L + ESOPs (mentioning the compensation as it's relevant)

Throughout my life, I have been discriminated against due to not having a pedigree. I have had to work my ass off to reach where I am today.

Currently I'm at a senior position in a startup incubated by an MNC. I still face the following concerns:

1. Extreme difficulty while applying for jobs; Example: my exceptional performance in my previous organisation was not known outside and since I didn't have any "pedigree", I was considered overpaid in the job market.

2. I did join at a decent hike after an year of search and even in the new company, I don't command a lot of respect due to the lack of fancy tags like IIT/IIM/ISB/Booth/LSB/Insead,etc.

What should I do? Does an MBA make any financial sense to me at this Experience and Compensation? If yes, where should I try for an MBA?

FIRE

Recently, I've been observing a concerning trend that I haven't observed before in my 5 years in this industry. 

A large no. of job openings are coming up at mid-sized companies and startups that require 5+ years of experience but pay 7-12 LPA. One of these companies even used to pay a decent more when I'd applied to it a few years before

Does anyone have insights on the root causes behind this trend and how it will shape up the job market going forward?

My hypotheses on root causes:-
(1) Bad job market
(2) Advent of AI

Insane number of low paying software jobs

Software Developer

I was curious, that what will happen to the people who are right now working in growth, program managers, or in fact as business analysts, SDEs after 15 years.

 I am 25 Years old right now, and all I can see is people aged between 21-30 in startups. 30-35 year old people are less than 5% of the workforce. After 10 years, all my age group people will be 35, and all the roles I see at that age, are too scarce. 

Will it be too difficult to switch jobs then, or career, hikes will kinda stagnate there? 

Want to know from other experienced people that where does the crowd go?

What after 15 YOE?

I am close to 15 years ex. So probably i can answer i guess. In my area of work, i see all the less experienced folks not much capable in understanding the whole picture of business for creating roadmaps and strategies , cannot do stakeholder management much and moreover do not understand failsafe situations . That way i feel my job is safe. I can also do the job which my 2 year experience person does and in a better way and can also work like my manager who is probably 20 years experience and lead the teams.  
 As long as one is technically relevant , experience is a boon for orgs.

Software Project Manager

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)???
