Salary

By making salaries transparent you’ll end up signalling who gets paid for what skills, and how you can reach similar levels if you manage to put in hours/ up-skill yourself? This should reduce the number of employees who’ll be unhappy if they find someone else’s salary later on to be really high. Also, we will get rid of draconian law, which kind of stops employees from talking about salaries. Does any company in India have salary transparency as one of the their core agenda to attract talented folks?

My salary is lowest in my friends circle, but highest in the family(cousins). When I am being with friends i feel like I earn less but the opposite of family.

Do you guys share your salaries with your school or college friends? Kaun Kaun najar lagne m believe karta hai?

I work for a early stage startup (A) right now since about 1.5yrs at base 18lpa (no appraisal since my tenure even though I was told they have a bi-annual cycle, but It never happened) I have another company (B), willing to offer base 28lpa (but will require relocation). I still haven't interviewed at B, and was wondering if i can should talk to A asking for an appraisal? I'm also not sure if i should mention about B at all. How much i understand A will be like let us launch something and then we can talk about appraisals, but this has been going on since a year now and we tend to change the architecture or the methodology everytime we almost have something ready to ship. That being said still I'd rather stay at A than relocate for B at the moment. How should I go about this, any suggestions? TIA

Whenever I scroll grapevine It makes me feel FOMO As most of the people are with very high earning level I know things come with time and experience still in this fast paced world our expectations are quite too high

Hi Grapeviners, I don’t think I’m a bad person but I do consider myself superior to some friends from same background who I earn a lot more than. Do you also feel this superiority, or are you indifferent?

My friend just got an offer for 32LPA + ESOPS. Which is great, i am really happy! But we both started at the same time in the same field, and i am at 18LPA no ESOPS, this difference feels a bit weird. Does that happen with everyone? Or am i the only one feeling this way? What should i do next? 🤒

Need some sensible inputs.

How come everyone on this app has very high salaries(almost 24LPA+). But when i search on job sites, I see hardly any company is offering 24 LPA+. How come people are getting these jobs? Is there any secret which I am not aware of ? 🤔

Hey, I am a SWE with 2 yrs exp. recently I found out that juniors in my team are being paid atleast 10% more than me. This thing has been bugging me so much that I setup a meeting with my manager but here’s the thing- I have no idea how to talk about this to my manager. I obviously think it’s unfair given how much more work I am doing. Can experienced people here please guide me on how to approach this meeting? Thanks!
