 It all depends on your lifestyle, people are living happily in 3-4L salary where as for some even 20L might seem less.

Hell yeah, 80k in hand for a bachelor is decent (not wow ofcourse) which can buy you 1 room in a 3bhk (20k), transportation (7k), Food (10k) and with 43k for savings and personal expenses.

My brother lived in hyderabad for an 18k salary dude.. Stayed in a pg room with 2 other guys..7k pg rent, 3k transport, 4k random weekend chilling, 2k misc, 2k savings. Went to the movies, ate pizzas occasionally.. Claims he had a good life.  
  
 So it all depends on what standard of living you are looking for.

A very basic life. No clubs and chilling. Yes, eating is somewhere I am going to spend a lot.

I have just started my career and have around 1.4 years of experience. I have switched my job and moved to Hyderabad. I am single, Is 11 lpa is good to survive here?

Lead Engineer

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?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Seeing a lots of discussion about people complaining about inflated salary, it's quite sad to see such discussions.
Take SWE for example, so an swe is expected to move to an expensive city with high travel and food expenses, scant housing options with landlords hiking the price 40-80%, work 8 hrs a day and sometimes even 12. And if  he's drawing 20-30LPA he's considered overpaid?! Not to mention the guy has to pay a huge chunk to the government and we're not americans who don't care about their family and have to take care of them as well. 
We're all overworked and underpaid (if you consider the amount of hrs one work and how much they are paidpaid in abroad) and considering the situation still underpaid. 
There may be people who might be drawing a high salary and barely do any work (considering they take a lot of leaves and don't put time and effort in work) but that should be the discussion of the inadequate framework for calculating better metrics for productivity and how companies fail to do their due diligence, instead of complaining about high salary. This affects us all and if we all think that salaries are inflated it only hurts us more.

Are Indian corporate employees really overpaid?

Fresher, 1st job. Getting 12 LPA before deductions. Wanted to know how is it and what type of lifestyle I would be able to afford. 

Fellow Grapeviners earning similar, how do your expenses look and how much do you save?

How is a salary of 12 LPA in Bangalore.

This is mostly for people who have spent 10+ years in the industry. I’m sure we all can agree that the hiring and salary boom that we witnessed in 2021-22 is mostly over now. Now it’s more about surviving the job market rather than printing asymmetrical amount of money

But how has it turned out for people who’ve been in the game for too long. I know some people who switched jobs too quickly and are at a higher package but still not content. At the same time, I know a few seniors who’re still in my first company and are happier than ever with the work.

I understand that in Tier-1 cities, the expense itself is more and you’re sometimes forced to switch just to stay afloat. But what would you recommend new joiners based on your experience? Does chasing money in early years help later or only focusing on skills?

Chasing money or skills? What paid off at the end?

Should alter the choice during switches. 
  
 If a switch is taken for money then next switch should be for skill or promotion and so on

I will potentially be moving for a new role to sector 9 Noida, so I wanted an idea of how much the cost of living(as a bachelor) might be in areas around there.

With a change in career, the role will pay around 8-12lpa so I wanted a sense of is the move worth it...

Systems Engineer

I am a Software Engineer in a company in Hyderabad location. My package is 5lpa. I have hectic and monotonous work life. I am actually not South Indian and have felt harsh racism here. People usually don't talk to me because I don't know Telugu. It has been 2 months now in Hyderabad and I am homesick. My expenses and loans are really high, so I am struggling financially also. I have no friends here and it's affecting my mental health. Can anyone suggest me how to make my situation better?
