Current CTC

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

So hello Everyone , 
A short intro , i am a 2023 grad , fumbled a 32 lpa SDE job in last round in college placement . I was among the last 2 out of 500 students and the other guy got selected or you can say i run out of luck.🙂
This left a scar ,guilt and trauma, however got placed as a cloud engineer during last week of my college.

I always wanted to do development and create stuffs . 
My current role is more of a support so now I want to switch .
Yoe :1 year 2 months 
Salary:9 lpa (7.5 base)
Fully remote 

i had solved around 220+ questions on leetcode and had a good grip on DSA but it’s been a year since i solved any questions there.
So now i will again start coding and solving leetcode from STRIVER A to Z dsa course and working on harkirat 0-100 development projects.


I aim to make myself interview ready at the end of week 5 while keeping my current job and then look for interviews during my notice period.
I am ready to take a leap of faith and grind hard .

I will keep updating on every Sunday about number of questions and development projects i worked on .
Hope it motivates you all to improve and get better at life .

I am going to use this  sub to record my weekly improvements .
 
I am open to any suggestions by my people here .

Wish me luck ✨

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I work for a Series A start-up in Bangalore. I have 5 YOE and my current base is 21 LPA and ~5L worth of ESOPs a year.

Seeing Grapevine salary charts, I feel I might be underpaid. Should I negotiate or look for other opportunities or is the base I am getting now alright?

Am I being underpaid for SDE 2?

Hey,

Software Developer

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.

What should the ideal salary(base) for an SDE-3? Backend+AI

I'm working at payU payment from 2 years and from last two years they are giving the increments in single digit, is the market is bad ? Last year I got 4% increment I was informed by my manager that company is not doing good same has happened this year again I got only 4% incriment. In my team I have seen people are getting 8-10% also and in other team few have got 12% also, however I feel even 12% is the highest still it seems too low. is this is happening everywhere or it's just payU?

How do the increments happen this year?

Got a role promotion to SDE 2 but hike provided with role change was very minimal i.e 10%. I am disappointed with this as I have been rated very well by my peers. I am thinking of asking to reverse the role change for a better hike. Would like the grapevine community to share some thoughts about this.

UX/UI Designer

Team Lead

I am a DevOps Engineer in a series C funded startup.
My current compensation is 40LPA, which included 38LPA fixed, and 2LPA performance bonus.
I want to understand what my realistic expectations should be if I look out for another job.
I am open to all types of companies, be it a MNC or a well established startup.
I can be wrong by a huge margin, but I was expecting somewhere around 75LPA CTC with 70LPA fixed, given the fact that my promotion is due this upcoming December and I am expecting atleast 20% hike on my current CTC and in hand compensation.
What are your thoughts on this.
And if possible, can you guys also tell me what I should be prepared for if I get an interview opportunity for a senior level DevOps Engineer.

Hey Folks, I hope you all are doing extremely well.

Wanna get some idea about market pay and the hike I’m getting in a e-commerce company. 

Worked as a DevOps/Software Engineer for 5 yrs and CCTC is around 30-32 LPA. New company is ready to offer around 42. 

Is it good offer or should I check for more companies?

I know some startup’s are paying like anything and this offer seems to be trivial for 5 yrs experience, but just wanted to know if I should be pursuing this offer or not?

Thanks in advance folks, Have fun! 🤩

Is 42 LPA a good offer for YoE - 5 yrs?

Just saw my friend with 12LPA posting 50LPA to make others feel underpaid🤣🤣…don’t believe everyone here. 
 If you feel you are underpaid, switch. Seeing some unrealistic number? ignore.

Appraisal Season '24: What was your last salary and what is your current salary?

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

Hello everyone,

Seeking advice on a potential job switch and compensation. I am currently employed as a Lead Business Analyst(Total Exp:6 Years) at a US-based edtech company with a fixed CTC of 25 LPA. My skill set includes Tableau, SQL, Python, Automations, Statistical Analysis, and Stakeholder Management. Lately, I've noticed a lack of substantial job calls, and the few I've received are capped at ~27 LPA. Some recruiters even claim that I'm already in a higher salary band, which I believe might not be accurate. I'm curious if anyone has insights into potential reasons for this, whether it's related to my skill set, the current job market, or other factors. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
