Hey MildlyDumb, would love to connect as well. Unfortunately Grapevine doesn't allow DMs at the moment, so could you tell me your company's name? I can connect that way via LinkedIn or email.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I am a Full Stack Engineer, with 5 YoE. I've been working at 12LPA for almost 2 years. In the current company I am in, I got from 56K PM (During Probation) 70K PM (After probation) and 1L PM (Increment of 30K after working for an entire year).

Due to the market conditions I didn't get any hikes, simply because the company wasn't making any money. 

Anyway, since I've started interviewing I don't know what to say as my expected salary. I know I am a quality engineer, my boss, and my seniors would agree. I just want to know what should be the salary for a above average engineer with my level of experience (5 YoE)

PS: I don't have a college degree, in fact I am a dropout, I hope it helps you guys make your guesses. Thanks!

Hi,

I came across few friends and also one person who used to report directly to me that they got 24 LPA offer. They have less yrs of experience then me and also knowledge.

I am getting same 24 LPA (with 1% equity). Do you guys think this should be red flag me to switch to some better paying jobs?

I have 9+ yrs of experience and working as engineering manager(Node, Python, PHP) while they are senior devs(Android, PHP,Frontend) with approx 5-6 yrs of experience.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I am a software engineer with 3 YOE. I am working in a service company getting 9LPA. Although I do have advantages like unlimited holidays, flexible timings etc. And WLB is also good most of the time (except launch or demo weeks). I am a decent full stack developer.

I am underpaid but how much?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I have spent equal amount of time in MNC and startup  facing high salary growths and layoffs. I am currently at 31 LPA in an MNC using  all highly demanding tech stack and enjoying what I do.

I need help understanding if 31 LPA fixed + (2.5 lpa variable extra) is a right as per standards both ways either underpaid or overpaid.

I am more comfortable in an MNC and wanted to get more insights before making a switch.

Senior Engineer

I myself am a Software dev with more than ten years of exp. 

I mentored a bunch of folks and was active in lot pf communities. I have been noticing this trend for more than couple of years about how freshers and developers with experience of less than two three years are aggressively looking to switch companies to target 30L or 50L or whatever they are currently looking for. 
But I feel this is really bad for future in terms of career growth. I am not against looking for the best offer, but I feel people recently don’t have any priority for career growth. 

I am trying to understand their perspective. I am not jealous of any of these. Heck I prefer that they get more, so that they have to increase my pay to keep up with current trends. It’s just when people ask me for career guidance I don’t want to sound like a jerk to prioritise good work over good pay. 

Can you guys share your inputs/perspectives?

Are juniors salary expectations even realistic?

My work has been excellent for the past year, my manager is very happy with my work and my quarterly review has been good too. I need your advice on much yearly Increment should I ask. 

I have never been on such calls and I am feeling a bit nervous 😅. Any advice on how I should approach this call would be very helpful.

Frontend Devs Salary and Experience

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?
