A thumb rule, your YOE x 4 or YOE x 5 is a good pay. Don't sacrifice your great WLB for some khujli

not for early career, anything below yoe x 8 TC qualifies for below poverty line

Any openings for the same role? Need referral, for someone with similar experience

Not for same role but they're looking for Freshers.

The simplest way to know if you are underpaid is to apply with your skills outside. You are worth whatever someone is willing to pay you outside. As simple as that.  
  
 I personally don't believe in YoE as a Metric to how much you can earn. I believe you earn proportionate to the impact you create for the company

Completed 3 years last month and had a final review with my manager today.

New CTC: 18F + 2V + 2B

I work as a Senior Engineer here and have experience with all the technologies they use, from AWS to React, React Native, and Ruby.

The work-life balance is great, and I get ample free time with family and friends. However, after 3 years, I feel I’m being underpaid. Should I look for a higher package?

I have 3 yoe as nodejs developer. Currently I make 14.4 LPA and have been sort of terminated . Is this package enough or shall I ask for a hike for my next job ???

Software Developer

I have 6.5 + YOE and have a CTC of 20L (fixed + bonus)

How do I achieve parity with regards to salary? 

My next appraisal cycle is in March but obviously due to the economic conditions my company might not give me a great raise even though my performance has been good this year. 

Any suggestions?

Product Head

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I've recently got an offer from a Unicorn Startup, and they pay pretty well (My friends do work there) 
But I'm getting lowballed. They're offering only 50% of what they offer, and even after having so many calls, they're at max pushing it to 70%, which doesn't make sense to me. 
They are claiming my Current CTC & saying they can only offer a 30% hike. I don't even get that point. 
 I think ur new CTC shouldn't be based on your previous especially if you are already paying so much to others. Getting less than what my juniors are earning in the same position, baffles me. 

How do I move forward? I've clearly said that I'm only interested in this amount of money. At the same time, I feel it's better than what I make right now (not much better tho, because WFH vs WFO) I'm okayishhh with the work I do, but the brand name is also a valid concern (I do have a few brand names in my Resume, and that does actually impact) 

How do I push more? 
I've clearly told them that this is what you pay & they accept it but constantly raise my Current CTC as their brahmastra. Also, I don't like the tone she's talking with (repeatitvely making me feel inferior about current CTC & my less exp & all),  nor do I want to lose my temperament

Also one question, they've asked me for the Offer letter, and I have stupidly handed it to them. Is that a norm? What to do in that case next time? 
I already told them before interviewing how much base I'm expecting.. And they said it would depend on your interviews (where I'm a strong hire) & CTC. And now they're behaving weirdly. 

What to do!

How to negotiate?

I'm a Software Engineer (Golang Developer)  with 2+ YOE. my CTC is 10 LPA. 8L fixed + 2L performance bonus. am I being underpaid?  considering the current market situation, I'm afraid to make a switch. what if another organisation does a layoff? 

PS: I also want to know which companies hires go developers in Delhi NCR only.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hi all, 

I have got my HR round discussion at Accenture for the position of Application Lead coming up next week. Hence I thought of picking your brains to resolve a conundrum regarding a reasonable salary that I can ask for.

Location: Bengaluru
Current CTC: 15 LPA
Expected CTC: 23 -  26 LPA
TechStack: Mainframe Developer
YOE: 9 years.

Can you let me know whether my expected CTC is a reasonable amount considering my YOE, tech stack and location. Or should I ask for more/less ? 

Thanks for all the advice/suggestions !

Tech Lead

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?

I am 6 yoe data engineer with experience i. Informatica, python, unix, controlM, strong sql, and I even have certification of Snowflake. My ctc is 12 Lpa. What should be my ctc?

Am I underpaid?

CTC 11LPA
3YOE
Java developer, Fintech industry
Graduated in electronics & communication engineering
Fortune ~250 company product based

I like my work, sort of a workaholic and kind of an over achiever (not trying to show off or be a narcissist).
My boss literally told me to get an offer elsewhere and he will match it, he got me a promotion and a 40% hike.
But I hardly find the motivation to search for jobs.
I'm a good problem solver, but I find the whole interview and selection process in the IT industry very systematic.. they test on concepts which hardly get used at work on the ground level. 
If i grind for a couple of interviews I would certainly get a good offer and get retained at my company, but I don't find the motivation to job hunt and prepare for interviews.
I participate in all my company's innovation initiatives and hackathons. Won a couple of them. 
I love sharing knowledge, and I don't limit myself to any role, I can work as a Product owner, tester, dev, support engineer, and often contribute to a lot of forums within my company.

I'm not that into money. Everyone I say this too tells me to give my money to them if I don't want it. Lol.
So I'm convinced that I'm not being practical..
Is something wrong with me? I agree that I deserve more, but should I do something about it?

I also suppose that I'm in a sort of a comfort zone which is preventing me from preparing for interviews.

Thanks for reading this, I'm open to sincere thoughts as well as jokes.

I'm happy with my pay and work. But my boss, parents and social circle think i deserve more.

I am currently working in company since Jan 2023 now it's been 1 year working as PCB Design Engineer at post of Jr. Electronics Engineer getting 10k per month should I start looking forward from this company or stay committed

am I under paid ?

Embedded Engineer

I have total 9 YOE and Accenture is my second company. I have spent more than 6.5 years in Accenture and currently at level 9. My total package is 16.5 (15 fixed+ 1.5 variable) . I work in Accenture Operations. I believe my package is low. Moreover Accenture India employees didn't get any increment in base salary this year. 
I have to buy house, car and manage my household expenses for nearly 11 members. What should I do?
