Lead Engineer

What is the salary of HR head in any reputed MNC?

I work at a startup and have been here for more than 7 years. I joined right after graduating from a tier 1 engineering college (one of the old IITs). I was the first team member after the founders and now hold the position of non tech CXO in the company. The startup has grown significantly, not in traditional funding terms but in actual business. I have dedicated countless days and nights to growing this company, hardly taking a single day off in the initial 4 years, and often working more than 10 hours daily. My salary has increased proportionately to what I should be paid (>65 LPA), and I also have decent ESOPs in the company, which could be worth anywhere between 2 to 4 crores depending on the valuation at which we raise funds. However, I don’t count ESOPs as real money. In the next 10 years, it's going to be a very big thing, and I am glad to be part of it. Many of my friends, who have done MBA from IIMs and worked at BCG or Bain, are craving for the position I am in.

But I feel FOMO about not trying anything else in life. It's like achieving decent success on the first try. I use the word "decent" and not "crazy" because it's not crazy success.

What do I want ideally?
I'd like to take a 6-month break and then figure out my next steps. Maybe start something new or join another company at a leadership level. But I am too afraid of not getting the same opportunities and ending up struggling.

Thus the question:
Is there any agency that works specifically to help you get a job at a CXO position? How does it work? Can a non-MBA with 8 years of work experience get a CXO position at a decently big company (>300-500 crores in revenue)?

CXO Position, Right after college. Confused now !

What should be my fair salary ask?

Consultant

Hi, 

So I've working in a pre-seed stage startup for 1 year 3+months, Company is still in process to get it's next round of funding, hence my increment is still in half-backed stage. 
The base was increased from 20L to 30L(promised), Which was my least expected number to stay in the team. 
To this I retaliated with my background, skills and lesser pay for the last year. but CTO has told me that this is max (or little more) I can get in the current market. 

Since the last 3-4 years trend being 2+ years experienced, IIT, GSOC and with leading the backend team, even in this recession market I believe to be paid near or fully 40L base + ESOPs. 

Help me if you're active in the job market as seekers/recruiters, if the CTO is right here.

is my CTO claiming right or wrong?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

What’s the realistic timeline to achieve 50-75 LPA in Bangalore?

Currently on 28 LPA. 

If followed career progression of my seniors, it will take at least 7 more years in the same company to hit ~75LPA. 

Need guidance from folks who are making these figures. I believe this will help anyone and everyone who is in this path in life? 

Note: I’m extremely grateful for all the opportunities and my current life through help from mentors and hard work. Anyone who is interested in moving to this role, please feel free to DM. I will share my experience.

Analytics Consultant

Consider this scenario:

A well established publicly trading company is giving you $45000 (120 units) worth of RSUs, with vesting schedule of 4 years. The work culture seems stressful (asked from ex employees) and they have a 4 day work from office where they track your badge attendence. 

And a Series B startup is giving you $45000 (9000 units) worth of ESOPs with vesting schedule of 4 years. It has scope to go for Series C and D fundings and even IPO in 4-5 years. The company is flexible in remote/office setting and has some perks like: once a quarter a selected Monday will be holiday, yearly offsite to exotic places.

Which one would you prefer RSUs or ESOPs? and why? Kindly explain why your preferences.

ESOPs or RSUs? Which would you choose?

Given the fact that layoffs are almost over, which companies/startups/remote startups are paying around >=50 lakhs per year(base+stock) for 4-5 years of experience? Please mention level, WLB also and any awesome perks if any.

>=50LPA for 4+ yoe in India

I’m considering joining as a founding engineer at an early stage startup who is just about to sign a $4M seed round.

They offered to match my current base and a $20,000 in ESOPs. 

When joining at such early stage companies, how should I think of ESOPs so that I can better negotiate. I’m banking on this idea going big and I want to get as much ESOPs as possible to maximise my returns in the future.

CTC - 20.5 lpa full cash

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Hello all! 
I am working as HR Head in a growth stage startup in Bangalore. So many people here talk about compensation, culture, growth etc. Happy to answer questions related to HR/Culture/Startups.

People & Culture Manager

Hi, I got an offer from a Series B startup and they are giving me 3000 shares of ESOPs vested over 4 years. Right now the value of each shares are worth $5 and has a potential to grow after new funding rounds this year. I feel 3000 shares is less and want to negotiate for more. 

In your experience can anyone tell me how much ESOPs (shares) have you received from new startups? And was it benefecial in the long run?

Any input is appreciated.

How much ESOPs should I ask from a Series B startup?

I'm starting a new company and am assembling a team, in all my previous startups had like 7 people working but now everyone is settled and few have retired coz made too much from the exits so back to assembling a new team :p

As in all my previous startups I paid an average of 40Lpa an 2-3% ESOPs to all the early team they made insane wealth. But now I'm thinking of going lower and meet the realities of the market rather than paying higher why not paying the market rate?

I have been taking multiple interviews and experienced this people consider higher salaries to be a lie they want to earn dirt-cheap salaries and don't trust themselves with what they deserve and in the end ended up mocking me. One of the senior people that I interviewed thought 3lakhs per month was very high no-one pays that much. Same goes for an intern who I decided to pay 1lakh per month thought it's not possible and ghosted me thinking I'm scamming him ( his job was to meet high profile people make connection with different founders by going to parties and events regularly )!

My new startup is not in crypto but in something unique!

What do you'll think should I pay people less as that's what they think they deserve?
