Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

My brother works in  business ops role in one of the unicorn startups in India. He has 10 years of experience and is getting 60L CTC, graduate from tier 1 Engg and MBA. is he paid at market rates or is underpaid/overpaid. He is looking for a switch and since the job scenario isn't that great right now, wants to take an informed decision before making up the mind to quit the current job.

One of my friends got an offer during campus placements with a good base pay, later his offer was postponed without clear doj, now he got another offer after 8 months of struggle with a very low salary, now he is getting calls from different startups tho they are good paying companies due to his lower pay rn they are not willing to pay much, what should be the better option he should follow ? He is very good enough in tech among all of us and he is from tier 1 college...

CTC Check

Software Engineer

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hi Viners,
My elder brother who used to work in strategy got laid off in July. He had a fixed pay of 35 and total CTC of 42. ( 2 lakh annual esops, 5 lakh variable). He has a pretty good runway and not worried about the finances since currently at home and no rent/ other metro city expenses. He has been working as an external consultant since December and making 3 lakh per month as fees.

Yesterday he received an full time offer from a startup with Fixed pay 32, 1 lakh retention, 1 lakh performance bonus and 4 lakh annual esops at the last valuation.

The startup is yet to raise series B but the role he is getting is a strategy and ops planning role along with PnL responsibility in 3-6 months.

HR told him that the salary would get revised once they recieve series B but he knows that stuff is usually just lip service. Glassdoor reviews also show that the workload will be high and might have to work on public holidays as well.

Would you advice to take this?

Would you take a paycut?

Am I being underpaid?

Business Analyst

Let's talk about being highly underpaid. It's a reality many of us face, yet it's often shrouded in silence. Whether you're in a corporate job, a creative field, or any profession, feeling undervalued and underpaid can be demoralizing and unjust. It's not just about the numbers on our paycheck; it's about the recognition of our worth, our skills, and our contributions.

Too often, we find ourselves in situations where our hard work and dedication are not adequately compensated. We put in long hours, go above and beyond our job descriptions, and yet, when it comes time to discuss salaries, we're met with excuses or paltry raises that barely keep pace with inflation. It's a cycle that perpetuates feelings of frustration, resentment, and even imposter syndrome.

But here's the thing: We don't have to accept being undervalued. We can speak up, advocate for ourselves, and demand fair compensation for our efforts. It might be uncomfortable, and it might require us to challenge the status quo, but it's essential for our well-being and the integrity of our professions.

Employers need to recognize the importance of fairly compensating their employees. It's not just about the bottom line; it's about fostering a culture of respect, appreciation, and mutual benefit. When employees feel valued and adequately compensated, they're more engaged, productive, and loyal.

So, if you're feeling highly underpaid, know that you're not alone. It's a widespread issue that deserves attention and action. Whether it's through salary negotiations, seeking out better opportunities, or advocating for change within our organizations, let's stand together and demand the compensation we deserve. Because when we value ourselves, others will too.

Are you getting underpaid?! I know it sucks🤦🏻

1. Most of the time it sucks because you're comparing and that'll always take your joy. In some cases, you're not underpaid but someone else is overpaid. 
 2. When you don't have a job, you'll appreciate being a bit underpaid too. 
 3. Not all people can take the risk of standing against the organizations. 
 4. Indian labour laws suck and that's why the culture of fair compensation is just a joke. 
 P.s.: Everyone should know their 'market' value and they should always aim for the highest of the range.

What kinds of salary increments are expected during an APR (with/without promotion) if one’s base salary is 18LPA?

I want to gather a general understanding of how increments work in big tech companies and unicorn startups.

Salary increment range?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Not very sure about the offer I have in hand. It’s a large MNC 3 day a week hybrid role. 

Background: 
3+ years with a early stage startup, laid off
Unemployed for one year
Joined Unicorn startup at +15% - just about one year - hybrid but mostly remote coz most of the team is in a different city even though we have an office in BLR
Now offer in hand - MNC +15%


Primary reason for job change: 
lack of growth opportunities in current org/role
challenges working remotely with a team that goes to office in a different city

Should I take it? Or should I wait for a better opportunity. No interviews lined up currently.

15% hike in switching job. Justified?

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

I'll keep it short.
I'm 22 M. Joined a startup last year July as Intern (got paid 15K/m)

Fyi, I work as a Software Engineer (Mobile)

Am I underpaid?

Earning 18.5 lakhs post 2 years of experience in Data Analytics/Engineering role in an MNC in Noida. Is this as per market ranges?

Just saw my friend with 12LPA posting 50LPA to make others feel underpaid🤣🤣…don’t believe everyone here. 
 If you feel you are underpaid, switch. Seeing some unrealistic number? ignore.

Software Test - QA

I wanted to pen down my story, as I have been feeling extremely low for the past two days. I work hard, but still don’t get the results that I deserve
Some background. Did engineering from a tier 3 college(this one’s on me, didn’t study hard in my 12th, hence completely my mistake). During college, I was motivated and determined to do good, and aspired for MS abroad in top university, so that I could get rid of the tier 3 tag(honestly, my undergrad college was so bad that mostly the localites of the city enrolled, and only for the purpose of getting a degree, even mass recruiters didn’t recruit from this campus). I worked hard in my first sem, and this college was affiliated to a state university. In the end sem exam, I was given horrible marks, completely careless checking, significantly reducing my GPA. I applied for reassessment but no change. Apart from that, I kept upskilling, learnt ML. In 4th sem, I was given a backlog(it got cleared when I applied for reassessment). Honestly I would always do well in class and internal exams, but somehow the external examiners always gave unfair marks and had to always apply for reassessment.
In 3rd year, I got an internship of 2 months, but had to cut it down to a month as college had attendance issues. In the final semester I got a 6 month internship at a very good startup, at a very good pay, but again, had to turn it down due to college attendance issues. During final year, wrote a research paper, initially it got rejected, but had to raise contention with the conference committee for unfair evaluation, and after reevaluation by other reviewers, got stellar reviews and paper was published( you see how unfair it is right). I also gave GRE, TOEFL and got decent score, got into 1 so so university but was rejected by 5 others. Didn’t go for it as it was not that great and it was COVID year.
After college concluded, it was COVID time. Continued in comments.

How do you keep yourself motivated, when things always go against you?
