Salary and CTC fuck ups

Just wanted to check if my compensation is as per industry standards. I have 2.5 years of exp as a ML Engineer (focused on deep learning and computer vision). Graduated from tier 3 college in 2020 but have pretty good skill sets for the domain. Joined a Series C funded startup last year in July for BP of 14.5LPA along with JB of 1L and ESOPs worth ~7L. Just got an appraisal of 10% now and now my base is ~16L. I feel I should have got more appraisal considering my compensation is low for my experience and I should be having somewhere around 18-20L. Am I thinking correct or is it me being greedy?

I believe i am underpaid. I am total 8 years experienced and 6years experienced in current role. It’s been 2.5 years in cisco and drawing only ~18LPA. What should be the corrected ctc here ? Please help.

I joined a new position 4 months ago After I accepted the offer, multiple sources told me I had left about 6-7L on the table Yesterday I was going through the company's job site, and the difference between the starting salary and my salary is about 11L Dead inside would be an understatement What can I do? Do I speak with my manager? If you were a manager, what would you do? They obviously hand-twisted me to pay less, but damn so much saved. Please don't ask company name

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?

I'm frontend React Javascript developer with overall 4 years of experience (out of which 2yrs in react) Sitting with 5Lpa at TCS. What should I answer on expected salary in interviews. And if possible guide me reason for that ask. (Sorry for posting again but really need idea on this)

I have been working at my current company for about a year now. I joined the company with the understanding that I would be learning a lot and being paid less than market value. At that time, I didn't mind being paid less; I joined on 3.5 LPA in Bangalore. After that, in December, I got an appraisal, which put my CTC at 4.4 LPA. Since everyone on my team knows what I'm capable of, I asked for the hike. I have been doing a lot of valuable work, such as automation, and I've filed patents as well in my final year project at my university. I have also been assigned all of the challenging tasks because my team knows that I am capable of handling them. I recently asked my manager for a raise. I asked for a 100% raise, which would bring my salary close to 9 LPA. My manager said that he would consider my request, but he eventually came back with an offer of a first 15% and then 25% raise. I believe that a 25% raise is still too low. I am looking for a job where I am paid what I am worth. I am confident that I can find a job that pays me 9 LPA or more. I just wanted to know some second thoughts: am I doing something wrong in the negotiation, or should I approach it in a different way? Not to denigrate others, but I know my teammates carry 2-3 years of experience, but I'm still the one coming up with new ideas and how to solve the problem, and I'm delivering it. Many times, my manager even said he always has higher expectations of me than others. The excuse my manager is giving is that it doesn't matter; if you join on a higher package at some other place, you'll have to return the joining bonus here of 1 lakh (I'm leaving before 18 months, so), plus after paying taxes, the equation becomes equal, so he's suggesting to wait until December and then look for other options.

I have interned for an iot based start-up for 3 months. Following the completion of the internship period I was offered a full time offer and got a chance to negotiate my salary. CTO offered me 4.8 LPA and I could only say that my expectations are around 6LPA knowing that other developers with the same experience are getting 7LPA +. Now I am feeling bad about not negotiating well (though my expectations were also around 7LPA). The CTO said he will see what he can do, and I doubt he will give me around 5.4-5.5. Now I don't know what to do, I've blundered in negotiation. Any tips on what I can do? I can't change job as I am a fresher with only 3 months of intern experience.

So when i joined a product based company as SE(backend) in bengaluru back in 2019 my ctc was 8 .5 LPA( i know maybe less compare to peers back then), now after 4 years got the same amount collating all the bonus we get in current company (in pune) as monthly salary getting all proud feeling but at the same time gerting wired feeling as idk if valye of money has dropped or i was highly underpaid or maybe thats how the progression of payout is or maybe i am still behind should clock that much without a bonus.(which is half my monthly salary) do let me know if anyone has achieved this and what is your take on this?
