My suggestion would be to stay here and concentrate on clearing the backlog. The degree is important at this point.

Software Engineer

Till the time you clear backlogs, don’t move anywhere. Since you have created dependency, you can try to have your way there to some extent, by not doing as much time as they are asking you too. Don’t work so much that it leads to burn out. 6 days * 9 hrs, is good enough, give or take an hour or so.

I am currently working at a product based startup as a full stack developer (Spring Boot + React Native). The product is pretty big and there are only 2 developers (A react native developer and me)...

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am currently working at a product based startup as a full stack developer (Spring Boot + React Native). The product is pretty big and there are only 2 developers (A react native developer and me).
It's my first job. I have been working as a full time employee for 1 year and 3 months, and was a part time backend developer intern at the same company for 8 months.
I have to work for 6 days a week (9 hrs / day including breaks) and now they are asking me to do overtime without any added advantages.
I am working on 4 different projects in parallel (The main product (React Native), Internal App (React Native), REST API Backend (Spring Boot) and The main website (React JS) and a new website is in discussion for internal purposes) and also handling Docker containers and AWS deployment.
I am getting paid INR 3LPA
Is this normal?  I am getting a feeling that I am under paid too.
 I do have 3 backlogs to clear (BTech CS). Should I look for a new job or stay at the same company?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I am currently working at a product based startup as a full stack developer (Spring Boot + React Native) with 1 year and 3 months as a full time employee and 8 months as a backend developer intern in the same company. I am also handling their website (React JS) and DevOps. How much salary can I expect if I change my job rn. I prefer Backend development for the new job.
Reason for Job change: The product we are building is pretty big and only 2 developers are there (one react native developer and me). I have to work 6 days (9hrs a day including breaks) and overtimes too. Also have to work on multiple projects on same time

How much salary should I expect?

I’m a final year student based out of India, and am currently doing the last month of my internship at a SF based startup. As the only DevOps engineer, and being quite skilled at at (at least according to myto YoE), I was getting paid around 2 LPA per month as a part time intern for the past 6 months. 

I recently got another 3 month internship offer from a foreign company, and I’m taking it since I don’t want to get stuck at remote job in India, and explore some abroad companies as well before I settle. Pay there is also quite good, but I don’t wish to take FTE there as I have to live in India only (family reasons, rural background, younger siblings and their study, etc.)

Now when I finally start my job hunt in the final days of my winter internship, what should be the pay I expect from Indian / Remote companies? Considering I was getting paid a fair amount as mentioned above even in a part time role. Or was I overpaid and I should keep my expectations low or equal to it in a Full Time Role?

Need a reality check: Am I getting overpaid?

I have joined a startup as Backend Developer Intern. I get a stipend of 6K/ Month. They said they will offer full time position after internship, but the salary will be 10-12K. 

The only good thing is I am directly working on a live project. I am making REST APIs there. 

I have 5 months of time. What should I do? Should I learn react or should I learn backend concepts more deeply. I am also planning to apply for jobs side by side. Give your valuable thoughts on what should I do?

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

Hey guys, I have been working in a startup company for 3 weeks. I am a fresher and I am forced to work on weekends and even during holidays like 2nd of Oct. My Team lead always tells me to come to the office during weekends and he says it's an order. I am working in sales and the reason they gave is that we have to work as festivals are coming.

How should I tell my team lead and manager that I  am exhausted and can't work like that. I am totally new to the Job life and don't have any clue how to move forward. Please help!

Need help! Been working 7 days a week since 3 weeks.

Software Developer

I am currently working in a startup for 2 years as a software developer (Java backend + React Native Frontend + handling aws deployment). I am mostly concentrated on the backend side. How much salary should I be expecting on a new job?

I'm working as a Frontend developer (SDE-1) with 1.5yoe, I joined this startup 4 months back. Earlier I was getting paid 9lpa and later I was offered 12lpa without even asking for my previous compensation. I accepted because my earlier organisation was very toxic. Now coming to the point, 

I came to know that for the same level and same role they're paying 16+lpa. And this is making me mad at them. 

Within 3 months I'm handling 1 of their 2 products (customer facing) all alone. And I'm doing great work tbh (not boasting) but if they have 10 major features. I have developed 4 of them all alone, solved really critical down time bugs and improved the product. 

Now I own this product and if any bugs come, I'm the person who's assigned the work.

I want to have a chat with the Founder but I'm not sure what to say and he's a guy who will try to save the money at all costs. 

I'm really mad at this point of time and I'm planning to leave in a few months. 

If I have a chat with him and he says something harsh, I will resign then and there I'm triggered to this level. 

And there was no kind of appreciation from them, I'm taking most tickets during the sprints and delivering quality code, communicating well and thinking in terms of product, if there is anything which can be improved I ask from them.

How do I have a chat with him and what do I say?
Current CTC - 12lpa
Expected CTC - 16 - 20lpa
YOE- 1.5 (planning to have the call around 3-4 months later), so I will be almost 2 yoe by then.

Pay disparity in my startup.

You are being paid 75% of what others are being paid at the same level. 
  
 Reduce your inputs by 75% to achieve fair parity (no. of tickets or work hours or whatever). 
  
 Use the saved time to prepare for your job switch.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I work in a few months old as a software developer. In a startup . Being Only employee. The CTO left some days back. Pay is decent . Around three year of exp. However I don’t feel like learning anything having no senior in tech background. Also working there isn’t motivating at all. Since the founder are basically getting a tech product made and then keeping on adding features, rather than selling already what’s been made.  Make me work all days including Saturdays.

I am preparing dsa for whatever 1-2 hrs i get but I dont like doing my job.  Since market is bad and ive been out of touch with DSA, I am not able to decide whether to quit and prepare for a job full fledged or keep whatever’s going going. These people have also said they will try this project for max 6 months if nothing works.

Should I Quit my job?

I am a DevOps Engineer in a series C funded startup.
My current compensation is 40LPA, which included 38LPA fixed, and 2LPA performance bonus.
I want to understand what my realistic expectations should be if I look out for another job.
I am open to all types of companies, be it a MNC or a well established startup.
I can be wrong by a huge margin, but I was expecting somewhere around 75LPA CTC with 70LPA fixed, given the fact that my promotion is due this upcoming December and I am expecting atleast 20% hike on my current CTC and in hand compensation.
What are your thoughts on this.
And if possible, can you guys also tell me what I should be prepared for if I get an interview opportunity for a senior level DevOps Engineer.

Salary expectation for a DevOps Engineer with 3+ YOE

DevOps Engineer

Hi everyone , I graduated this year in May from an  IIT but from an earth science branch . I have around 1 year of experience as an intern in different companies, including as a Japanese AI company . In college, I have a very low GPA ( < 6.5), so on campus was practically impossible ( I did get an offer :) ) .In my final semester, I worked at a service based company based out of Germany as an intern, which hired indian devs ( you know why ).

So, I got an offer from them around 20 LPA( all base) remote. Culture is good, no micromanagement or odd working hours, and people are helpful. I work around 45 hours per week .But They have fried 4 dev in the last 3 months citing 'lack of ownership'. I tried to get an offer from other companies but couldn't find much success due to market conditions and branch .I have been working for around 5 months, managing a social app in react native and expo that was created when I was intern . I code and handle other tasks like creating tickets, scoping requirements, and reviewing intern code. I also work on Backend, Database, and a react based web app, too sometimes. 

I have a feeling that as the product is mvp, I am not working on scale, and nobody cares about optimization for all large scales or complex devops,design patterns, or even basic caching . Instead, we really on managed services like codebuild or fargate, which I do handle most of the time

I will ask for suggestions from experienced folks that what should I do in this case should I actively try for new role or put effort in my job. ( Company is encouraging new dev to learn new stuff different from the regular job , for me, it's caching for this quarter )

Thanks for your time

Suggestion for fresher

I'm a Software Engineer (Golang Developer)  with 2+ YOE. my CTC is 10 LPA. 8L fixed + 2L performance bonus. am I being underpaid?  considering the current market situation, I'm afraid to make a switch. what if another organisation does a layoff? 

PS: I also want to know which companies hires go developers in Delhi NCR only.

am I being underpaid?

I have been at a company since 2.6 yrs as a founding engineer (joined here as a fresher). I am a graduate from IIT Delhi. I am paid well (50 LPA cash + decent stocks). The work culture of where I am is pretty amazing (5-6 hrs work, 5 days a week), WFH. 
Since I joined when the company was growing, I am  well respected. I would also go in length to say that  I don't expect the culture to be this good anywhere else. However it has been pretty boring lately, the work is very monotonous ( I am a backend engineer with pretty decent technical skills). I think I have little opportunity to grow here. 
What should I do ? 

PS: I got interview calls from various startups but most of them are just matching my salary but after doing some research I see that they are demanding lots of work (12 hrs, sometimes weekends included)

Suggestions for job change

I work at a product startup and it's been 1yr and 3 months now. It is my first job. We are an engineering group of 5 including the CTO. After 5 months I joined, we stopped our B2B product and started working on a B2C product which is very promising. But since last 6-7 months we are not getting our salaries and I don't know what to do. It's been hard finding a new job because most of them demand more than 2,3 years of experience.
I would like to work on startups again for the intense learning atmosphere they provide. Can someone help

Trying to switch job. Current startup hasn't paid salaries for 6-7 months

I work as a software engineer (Backend) at a startup ( valued over $200m). 
Most of my revolves around designing and building applications using python based frameworks (Django, flask, fast api). 
Integrating AI models to the backend, not so exciting but yeah I do.
Also, deploying them in Google cloud and setting up the cloud infrastructure. 
Occasionally I do write load testing scripts using Gatling.
At times I feel like I'm not doing any deep tech work and I'm bored. Most of the days I have zero motivation to do anything. 

How's the life of people doing deep tech at work?
What am I missing? What should I focus on?
I wonder if I'm underpaid at times (18 lpa) (exp - 4yrs).

How should I move forward with regards to my career?

Feeling like I'm stuck

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Hey y'all, 

I'm a T shaped Engineer with specialisation in MLOps/Devops at a hardware+software stealth start up.

Experienced in full stack, ML deployments, AWS, Kubernetes, Python, Kotlin and handling scale.

On paper YoE: 8+ 
3 years was with family business ( in tech), 
so if that is ignored 5+ YoE across the board in ML. 

The perks I get are work life balance and unlimited leaves and leaves compensation if any public holiday falls on a weekend.

Currently being paid 32lpa base, no variables.

I'm confused if this is good pay since I have a varied set of skills. The company has spoiled me by making me "time rich" so I don't feel like leaving. (Especially since I was burnt out when I desperately left and joined the current place) 

I know friends who do just backend getting paid 45 lpa but with no work life balance. And often times in discussions with them I feel like I can do their job easily (because of the varied skillset).

I'm Fortunate enough to be in a place that did salary corrections even though other companies are laying off and appraisals are incoming in Q1.

I'm confused, what's a good number that I deserve?

Am I being paid right?

Am I paid correctly or do i deserve more - 6.8 LPA ? I work at twin Startup(profitable ) as a developer primarily focused on Angular Development with total of 1.6 + 4 months here , I am fairly proficient at my work with minimal to no supervision , with good monthly reviews .

Honest Opinion Needed

I am working remotely at a SaaS company for 4+ years now. I started working since my final year of engineering. I joined here as a software engineering intern when the product was really new and booming. I have gotten bored of my work now, especially since I have been working from home all the time. I have very little social life. And I am getting fixed salary of about $1400 each month. I am thinking of switching to any Indian startup because I am not happy with my job being so monotonous and less pay at this level of experience. What should be the approach to crack the interviews? I have done DSA practice during my college days, but didn't crack any interviews with it. I am a full stack web developer but it doesn't excite me anymore and I want to stick to backend roles. And is it possible to crack an interview with for 30-40 LPA at this stage? Or do I have to climb up a salary ladder for a couple of years?

Switching to Indian startups job

I mean if i really step out to search a new job today, will get 45L+?? I am confident enough that i can crack any damn interview relevant to my profile today.

How accurate is this salary analysis?

I work at a Web3 company, with an in-hand of $85K annually, but I feel my coworkers earn way more. I am a fresher out of college, but I've been dabbling with Web2 for 4 years, and Web3 for 2 years.
Just wanted to know if the salary is unjustified or not.

Are Web3 Remote Devs underpaid in India?

I am a UI developer with all the UI skills + UX expertise as well. Leading a small team at an IB in India. I get 27LPA + 5L bonus. Is this avg, underpaid or good?
