How much in-hand salary is sufficient- Grapevine

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I'm a 28-year-old married (Wife is also working) individual currently residing in Kolkata, where the living expenses are relatively low. I have 5 years of work experience, and my current compensation package is 28 lakhs fixed and 3 lakhs variable (approximately 1.95 lakhs in-hand salary after deductions). With no liabilities or responsibilities, my monthly expenses are around 40,000 INR, and I manage to invest around 1.5 lakhs per month.

Currently, I enjoy a stable job and live with my parents, who take care of most of my living expenses. However, I'm considering the possibility of switching jobs and moving to another city, which would require me to bear the additional costs of rent, food, and other living expenses on my own.

Question: Given my current financial situation and the potential for increased living costs in a new city, should I explore a job switch and relocation? Or should I continue with my current stable job and living arrangement in Kolkata, where my expenses are minimal? What factors should I consider when making this decision?

Should I switch and move to bangalore

Hey peeps!

Currently working in a Fintech company in Mumbai as a Frontend Engineer with over a year of experience. The current CTC is 7 LPA. 

I feel like the growth here is limited and from the past few months there's been a lot of micro-management. Even the CTC is not up to Mumbai's expense standard. I live in a soapbox and pay like 1/5 th of monthly salary. Standard of living has been decreasing while it should be opposite.

+ I've 6 days work week with 9 hours /day shift. Although I've decided to drop in papers soon, I'd like to hear your opinions. 

Brownie points if you refer me to some good early stage startup probably in BLR or Pune or Remote.

Should I continue or resign

Hey guys,
I am planning to shift to Pune from Bangalore.
What are some of the good product based companies in Pune with good packages?
For Frontend/Fullstack developers.
I'm talking about salaries above 40-50LPA

Office/remote work anything.

Companies in Pune?

I got a job opportunity from HDFC bank. The job expects me to shift to Mumbai from Bangalore WFH currently. The pay is 30LPA  is it worth considering it according to the cost of living in Mumbai ? Seriously heard it's very costly not been there. And currently I'm working in a Consulting firm is it the right move to consider. Will it be good for my career ?

By the way it's going to be my 3 switch in 5 years just looking to settle where there stability and no layoffs 

Please advise is it worth considering an Indian private bank

A dilemma of banglore

I have 9+ years of experience in Software Development and Managing teams at scale. I’m in Bengaluru from last 5 years and before that I was in Mumbai for 4 years.

Now I’m planning to relocate to Noida, due to following reasons:
- Want to stay relatively nearer to my home town(UP)
- Want to be accessible for my family and relatives, when they need me the most
- Want to enjoy North Indian aspect of living
- Want my kid to raise in North Indian environment 

I need suggestions in two things

- Does Noida is a right choice considering my home town is in UP?
- Which Noida sector is developed, have better infrastructure and all the basic necessities are nearby?
- Which companies pay almost in similar range comparatively to Bengaluru or Hyderabad? 
- Any other thing that I should be aware of?

Thanks for the help!

I am in the IT industry, living in Noida. I wanted to know from experienced IT professionals if 2 LPA salary is enough for 1 bachelor person. I do not have any family responsibilities as of now! There is an annual bonus of 25k apart from this 2 LPA. I am just curious how much I should expect to get every month?

Is 2 LPA in-hand salary enough?

Product Manager

I had resigned from my previous org couple of months back I have 1 year 4 months of full time experience for a frontwnd developer role.. My previous comp was 13 LPA fixed, I got an offer from another company, they are giving me 16 LPA fixed (remote). Is this a good hike? It's not even 23% increment. Usually I have seen people getting atleast 50% increment on their previous withdrawn salary while switching and sometimes even more. People get more than this during annual increment. And also this job is remote while most of the jobs are in Bengaluru and there comes additional living expense cost if I take a job in Bengaluru with a offer more than 16LPA. Please help me how should I go about this given the market situation. I was expecting around 18LPA in this company even if it is remote.

What do you think about infrastructure of Banglore with thoughts of yesterday's incident ?

Is it good or too bad 
Or just underpass should get closed ?

How many of you live in Bangalore?

I am joining a new company which is remote first.

Does it makes sense to be in banglore?

Given that if i move to my home town, I will save 95% of my income.

I am confused because I also like banglore and dont like the idea of living with my parents.

But if i stay at home for 2 3 years, I would be able to buy a property in banglore when i move back in future.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

After reading replies in grapevine for dystopian policies, HR policies, work culture, companies to avoid(looks like all companies should be avoided), related questions I'm kind of regretting as I took the decision to stay back in India and not pursue masters abroad to live with my parents.

Given how pathetic the work culture is in almost all the startups(I'll go with 99.99%), politics and poor work life balance and living in a country where I don't get any tax benefits even after paying 30+% direct income tax, is it really worth living in this country anymore ? I'm feeling very sad, looks like I missed the opportunity to go abroad as I'm 25 now. Only my love towards my parents is holding me back since they both are around the age of 60 and I don't want to be the son who will make crores of money abroad and not be with them in case of any emergency. I'm don't want to leave them alone. Looks like there is no hope working in India. 😔

Is living in India worth it?

He folks, I work at service based company. Due to client requirements I'm being called to Bangalore for on-site opportunity. Should I really move from Pune to Bangalore  keeping my 45K Salary into consideration.
