How big is the project/org?
hourly rate is good in Indian terms but you have to judge if they are capable of shelling more

I am yet to get into details, I was offered this through the friend and haven't considered much

Underpaid. Consultants charge like 1k usd per day.

Considering a plain 8 hour work is also 125$ per hour
That's crazy!

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I left a startup due to financial difficulties within the organization. Salaries were delayed for 3 months, however, the team and my previous employers have been very good to me throughout my time there, and it was solely due to the circumstances that I had to part ways. 

Now, the CEO has reached out to me, asking me to join as a part-time consultant on a case-by-case basis to help them resolve their issues, while I continue with my new job. This opportunity could provide me with additional income, but I have concerns about whether they will pay me for my consultations. 

Should I take the opportunity? How much should I ask for?

Appreciate your thoughts!

🚨 Startup SOS: From Employee to Consultant - Money Talks or Caution Walks?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I'm working full time in a company, I'm also moonlighting in another startup, but not sure how much I should invoice them. My payment is based on story or task based. Can anyone guide?

How much to charge as moonlighting freelancer

Software Engineer

I'm currently working on an FTE job - wherein the offer letter its mentioned "During the term of your employment with the Company, you may not engage in any employment or act in any way, which either conflicts with your duties and obligations to the Company, or is contrary to the policies or the interests of the Company."

Now, I'm getting enough time and I want to consider working in a 0-1 startup, and the new company I'm joining will know about my current employer - The above mentioned is the only clause the current employer have regarding working in other company. Can the current employer legally put a case anytime in the future if they get to know this? - what are the loopholes I can use here?

What position I can join in as (Consultant, Advisory role) - Still an early career professional in order to avoid conflict afterwards.

Thank you for your help!!

Product Manager

3 years post-MBA exp. Currently at INR 35+ LPA. Offer in impact consulting at INR 23 LPA. Should I take it? Joining in Jan'24. Reason for switch - can't tolerate my toxic manager anymore. Have already put down my papers. 
Line of thought:
1. Take it - Something is better than nothing. At least paisa aate rahega.
2. Wait - Once I go at a lower package, difficult to demand a hike on my current one.
3. Take it, don't mention it - Companies will negotiate hard to lowball me if they know I am not working (gets worse if the LWD of my current company and the time am applying have a huge gap).

Money matters to me. But have been introspecting a lot. Will appreciate realistic input from the community.

Growth Manager

Hi devs , I recently cleared turing tests and coding rounds and yesterday I had a non technical interview . The discussion went pretty good but the person who interviewed told that min yoe for turning dev is 3 years ...where as I had 2 years 4 months exp ...when the pay discussion came , he said he can only put $10 per hour as my yoe doesn't match with criteria of turing..which comes down to 1760$ per month. Currently my company pays me 14 lpa as base  .Is it viable to consider the turing job ?

Need some suggestion regarding Turing ( Remote role)

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?

Am I underpaid? UI Dev with UX experience

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?

I've resigned and our co-founder gave me an offer, where I'll be officially released but I have to work after office hours & will get paid accordingly (for temporary period) 
I'm sorta inclined towards the offer, I'll get some extra money + the work load isn't much, I can do it along with my day job. 


Now what are the factors I should take care of while finalizing this decision? How to make sure my bgc remains clean or something?

How the payment will happen? Ofc they will propose me something, but I wanna be prepared from my side as well. 

Thanks for reading, and I appreciate any input, about anything I've written or about moonlighting in general. 


PS: I'm also okay declining the offer, except the fact the company will suffer, which I don't want to (as we are very small team), and I genuinely want it to be successful.

Software Developer

Fractional executive is an experienced C-suite executive — CEO, CFO, CIO, COO, CSO, CTO, or CMO — who works less than full-time. The work arrangement might call for the fractional executive to be on the job a few hours each day or a few days each week. They often work for two or more companies at the same time.

Corporate Strategist

Gerson Lehrman Group (GLG) had approached me for help with a topic related to my subject matter expertise. They will have their paying client on the other side of the call and I will have to answer their questions without revealing my identity or any trade secrets. They do pay consultation fees (billed at a negotiated rate per hour) for the same.

1. Firstly, is this a scam?
2. Secondly, they give independence to us to not answer any question (if it reveals any information that we don't want to reveal). Yet - is it a safe bet? What if my current employer comes to know about the same?

System Engineer

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

A friend is applying to a US-based unicorn startup. The role is remotely based out of India. First PM from India.

The average SPM salary available online is in $. Comes around $150-250k. No PMs are based in India, and expats are not replying on LinkedIn.  

The PPP comparison makes the average salary in INR go high. Any idea what number could one quote for the role?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

So I currently don’t have a job. I am interviewing at some places . 2 years exp data engineer.
1st company - 16 base
2nd company (a big American bank/fintech) - 17 base

Now the thing is I want to join 2nd obviously because brand but I think I am being low balled considering it is not the lowest position. It is just 1 above.

What should I do? I have accepted the offer because I really didn’t want to lose it and the HR didn’t agree to increase it even after speaking to her for long.

Am I being lowballed?

Business Analyst

Hi Guys,
I  am working as a software developer in Oracle( btech from old IIT) . Its been 2 years and I now want to switch to management consulting (preferable in MBB) to experience it so want to give MBA.

1. I did some research but I want to gain some information on the salary aspect of it. I heard that the salaries are not that high they would probably be in the same range that I am getting now. BUT, I want to know in the long run do consultants get more hikes compared to tech roles? 

2. I heard the wlb is pretty bad so is there some resource that I can study to know if thats the right suit for me since its a big risk I’ll be taking moving on to a different field. There are some good exit opportunities also I believe after MBB can someone tell more about it.

Would really appreciate some answers on this. Its on my head for a long time. Cheers!

MBB roles salaries in long run/ worth taking risk

Without disclosing numbers & names, I’m currently a PM at an AI unicorn 

Salary - 20LPA + 200 ESOPs (2L value, 50 will vest in March.) (Hike due April) 

Job Offer - 25LPA + ESOPs (8.5L value) (Gaming/eSports company, which is kinda my passion) 

I had initially asked for 30LPA but the company came back saying the max they’ll be able to do is 25LPA fixed. 

Looking for opinions on what I should do.
