Friends, a genuine question.. need your suggestions...

How can one know if he/she is paid reasonably, or underpaid or overpaid?

I try to analyse my peers network, but I always find people of similar work experiences having similar skills getting salaries higher than me as well as lower than me.. It's kinda distributed..

So how can one evaluate or know the correct salary for a given person? Any idea? I think this will be helpful for everyone during salary negotiations.

Note : I'm a software developer majorly backend with a slight hold of frontend. Also have done a few projects on data science. Around 4-5 years of work experience.

Salary Analysis & Negotiation- Grapevine

Have more than 5 years of experience working for a consulting MNC, a SaaS startup and a medium-sized consulting company.

Over the years have gotten the opportunity to work as a frontend engineer(angular, react), a fullstack engineer(java, javascript/typescript, python) and currently a data engineer(pyspark/databricks, azure, gcp).

Projecting my self as a fullstack/backend engineer only. 

What should be my fair salary ask in series A/B/C startups & other product companies?

I believe many of people in here will be in the same boat as me, so please put down your thoughts…!

What should be my fair salary ask?

Consultant

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I see a lot of people think here that a 3-5 year experience candidate has a right to demand 40-50 lakhs pay.

Is it really the trend now? Am I unaware? I see pay range in 6figr & other websites but don't see the pay scale of 40-50 very often except for full funded startups, MBBs.

What is the reality of pay range by professions for exp 3-5 years?

Salary Discussion

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.

Salary Check for 6 YOE devops/sre

Senior Engineer

What is criteria of underpaid/ overpaid?

Don't say market standards 😒
I have known people who are skilled and not getting even standard money

How do you judge skill level and wage for self?

I have about 5 YOE and looking for a job change. While I received so many calls from startups for SSE backend roles. During initial discussions I often let the HR know that I am earning 28 lakhs as CTC and I ask for 40 lakhs CTC, they say that they will get back to me but they never do so. Am I doing something wrong? Am I asking for too much. Should I wait for the market to get back to normal?
PS: I definitely have the major set of skills they are expecting for the job role.

Salary that needs to be negotiated

Software Engineer

Hi, i am senior developer with 30 LPA, i am planing to switch as work is not exciting anymore what should be my realistic expectations? I have read post where people with same yoe get more money and other post where people get less money with same yoe.

What should be the realistic salary figure for 5+ YOE senior dev

I have 7 YOE in Web technology, .Net core, react, sql server, Azure services, DevOps. My current salary is 11 lpa.

Am I underpaid or overpaid?

Am I being overpaid?
I am a backend engineer with 7 years of experience. I've been rejected by multiple organizations during salary discussions. They mentioned they can't provide such a high salary. Are my expectations inaccurate?

Current CTC: 45 LPA
Expected CTC: 54 LPA
Designation: Team Lead, Backend

Salary Reflections: Am I Overpaid?

Damn! For the first time, I'm seeing a post related to Overpaid. God bless you.

Growth Manager

Team Lead

Grapevine has become like the epitome of people flaunting unrealistic salaries ( the bubble will soon break )🤐,So thought of why not post some realistic ones based upon the Y.o.E range for the IT folks from  our knowledge and our interactions with our friends and colleagues.
We can exclude very niche skills here and see where  everyone stands.
I can begin. ( Have  considered just the base pay and not the variable or esops/rsu here )

1-4 Y.o.E : 4-8 Lacs
5-8 Y.o.E : 9-20 Lacs
9-12 Y.o.E : 21-35/40 Lacs
13-16 Y.o.E : 35/40-50+ Lacs

Realistic Salaries please !!!!

Germany to Bangalore - Salary Negotiation

I am currently working with a start-up from the last 2 years as a web developer angular+ dot net. My current CTC is 5LPA. Waiting for appraisal form last 1 year, and management has cleared that we do not expect a magical raise this time, I will hardly get 25 - 30% this time. Should I wait for 1 more year here( product is good and work culture is best). Or look for another opportunity. How much salary should I expect from outside? I have good knowledge and worked on various things frontend, backend, ci/cd.

Need Advice!!!

So I am looking out for a new role and the final round of the interview is done.

I am now at the negotiation stage where I do not want to quote a number but want to know the current "Market standard"

Job : Frontend/iOS engineer
YOE : 5, worked in good product companies throughout

The HR person also mentioned that they can pay as much as Adobe salaries.

Numbers, anyone?

Honest Opinion Needed

Hello,

I recently received a job offer for a Software Development Engineer 2 (SD2) position in Mumbai, and I'm seeking some insights and advice on evaluating the offer. Had to move to India because of personal reasons. Here are the details of the offer:

Location: Mumbai
Role: Software Development Engineer 2 (SD2)
Compensation: 22 Lakhs per annum (LPA) + 1.5 Lakhs in stocks
Years of Experience (YOE): 4 years, with a master's degree

While I'm excited about the opportunity, I want to ensure that the offer aligns with industry standards and my qualifications. Therefore, I'm reaching out to the community for feedback on whether this offer is competitive for someone with my experience and education level in Mumbai.

Additionally, if the offer seems to be on the lower end, I would appreciate advice on how to negotiate and potentially counter the offer. I'm particularly interested in strategies for negotiating a higher salary, additional benefits, or stock options.

Any insights, tips, or personal experiences from members who have been in a similar situation or are familiar with the tech industry in Mumbai would be immensely helpful. Thanks!

Current TC:- 0
