Have I made a wrong decision?

I am a 2023 cs grad ,joined an mnc at 7 .44 base 12 CTC,worked there for an year(6months internship+6months full time) Switched to a series a startup at 16.35l base all fixed ,it's been 3 months now and the wlb is very agreesive although the learnings is good and I am working on core genai,llms,classical models,but want to switch to a chill minc with a. Decent 30 percent hike Is it fine? Will it look good on resume?

I am 2022 passout 24 yr old.I have joined one service based startup after college for 6.2 Lakh.But Out of 10 months I was on the bench for 8 months so in that period I have prepared for interview and Got the offer of 17 LPA.Its been 8 months in this job , But from last 2-3 months my growth is stagnant and I got bored as their is not much work as well.So should I go for another switch or wait ?

Graduated in 2021 have 2 yoe working in a b2b unicorn as sde-1, earning 20lpa fixed no esops. I made one switch last year. But now I realised I was learning more in my previous product company. Here most of the work is boring like writing repeated sql queries minor bug fixes and very little coding. Is 20lpa low as per industry standards for 2 yoe in bengaluru ?

Hey guys, I’m a senior software engineer and I am planning to jump boat. Here are my current compensation details. YOE: 2 years Base Pay: 21.7 lacs Bonus: 2.5 lacs RSUs: 20.1 lacs TC: 44.3 lacs I wish to know where do I realistically stand in the current market and how much of an upside should I aim for while switching. Thanks in advance.

I have an experience of 8 years and have not switched ever. Because of this my package is relatively low (~16 lpa) compared to peers in IT. I have a medical emergency at home and so my manager has allowed me to do wfh for a while and thats why I have been sticking in this company. But I didn't receive any hike last year even though I was one of the best performers. Should I switch and is the market suitable for a switch?

Hey everyone, I am currently working as a security analyst working for a company that provides pentesting as a service to its clients. I am getting paid 17lpa fixed salary. I earn 80-90k from freelancing every month pre taxes. So should I switch or not. It's been 3 years I am in this company and I can't see much growth now. I will be doing the same work. The work is full remote and the culture of company s also nice and workload is fine. What should I do? Should I look for a product based company but most of them call onsite. I want remote work only that is mandatory.

I've been working for two years in my current company. Overall 5 years of experience. I'm getting enough learning opportunities here and got promoted last year. Not having too much expectations with the annual hike, should I consider switching to another company for compensation purpose? Please guide with some reasons...

I have only 9 months of experience. I know that I'll get 10% hike (2.5L) in the next review cycle i.e. in this july-aug. Everyone is happy with my performance and all my senior folks including my manager says I'm up for SDE2. So, I might get the SDE2 title (not sure as this is my first time and there is a slight chance for office politics) but if thats the case I'll get additional 8% of hike. Now my question is should I switch I know I can crack a company with 25-30% more base. I have a soft offer. I like the people of my company including my manager(sometimes he back stab when it comes around with management but it's fine I mostly handle it) but I hate the management they will do anything to stop the hike. But if I switch it'll take me another one year to prove myself to be SDE2 in my next company. ( in my present company I'll be sure an SDE2 by next January) so, what should I do? Is the title of SDE2 really worth it or the money??

Recently, I've completed 1 year into my role and my CTC is 16LPA. The company is a startup, and I've got ESOPs which are included in CTC. It has been an year, and I'm thinking of making a switch. But still can't decide whether I should bet on ESOPs and stay, or get a higher pay and switch? The company culture is pretty good, and it's a remote role, plus not much work load. :) But apparently, I'm worried if everyone else is making a switching companies with a 50% raise, why should I stick with 10% appraisal at a single company? Would love to hear your thoughts.
