I think the compensation is good given the current market conditions. Gone are the days of crazy salaries offered by startups burning VC money in a bid to acquire top talent. Companies these days are looking for more sustainable employees

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have a total of 2.2 years of experience as a java backend developer. I made a switch in April 2024 and got 20 lpa as a fixed pay( almost 40% hike).
My friends with same experience are paid around 22-25 lpa max. Am I being lowballed or 20 is still okay as per standards. 
And what should I do from here. Should I plan another jump in next 8-10 months or wait for atleast 1.5 years ?
And what package should I target in both situations?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I've 2.4 yrs of experience what package shall I expect while switching, how do I negotiate if the job role is the same as my current role

I have an experience of 8 years and have not switched ever. Because of this my package is relatively low (~16 lpa) compared to peers in IT. I have a medical emergency at home and so my manager has allowed me to do wfh for a while and thats why I have been sticking in this company. But I didn't receive any hike last year even though I was one of the best performers. Should I switch and is the market suitable for a switch?

Is the market suitable for a switch (8 yrs experience in java)?

I have started looking out for a switch due to layoffs going on in my current organisation. 
I have got an offer of 20 LPA fixed.
What is the max I can expect for SDE 1 position as SDE 2 requires atleast 2 years of experience?

How much package to expect as 1.8 years experience SDE -1

I had resigned from my previous org couple of months back I have 1 year 4 months of full time experience for a frontwnd developer role.. My previous comp was 13 LPA fixed, I got an offer from another company, they are giving me 16 LPA fixed (remote). Is this a good hike? It's not even 23% increment. Usually I have seen people getting atleast 50% increment on their previous withdrawn salary while switching and sometimes even more. People get more than this during annual increment. And also this job is remote while most of the jobs are in Bengaluru and there comes additional living expense cost if I take a job in Bengaluru with a offer more than 16LPA. Please help me how should I go about this given the market situation. I was expecting around 18LPA in this company even if it is remote.

I’m a software engineer at a mid size company. I have 1y3mo of work ex. Appraisals are around the corner, and although the work is great, the pay not so much. I earn less than 10LPA. How much of a hike should I deserve in this market assuming I have done a good job.

Hi I was littel confused about salary discussion I am having HR round for Accenture curently I am having 3.6 year of experience and 8.43 LPA package currently my tech stack is Microservices,Spring Boot, Java, Jenkins,Git and sql so how much should I ask for..?

Salary Discussion

I myself am a Software dev with more than ten years of exp. 

I mentored a bunch of folks and was active in lot pf communities. I have been noticing this trend for more than couple of years about how freshers and developers with experience of less than two three years are aggressively looking to switch companies to target 30L or 50L or whatever they are currently looking for. 
But I feel this is really bad for future in terms of career growth. I am not against looking for the best offer, but I feel people recently don’t have any priority for career growth. 

I am trying to understand their perspective. I am not jealous of any of these. Heck I prefer that they get more, so that they have to increase my pay to keep up with current trends. It’s just when people ask me for career guidance I don’t want to sound like a jerk to prioritise good work over good pay. 

Can you guys share your inputs/perspectives?

Are juniors salary expectations even realistic?

what would be the salary for 2 years in java back-end development in service based companies?

Salary check

First company shutdown it's operation and gave work to current company. Now new company took some of the employees from old company. I got selected in that. And I joined given that I didn't had other offer. 

But now after 1 month this company doesn't feel good. 

Desperately wanting to change the company as work is bad (although working on same work which I used to do, tech is very old, VB. Net) but not feeling enough prepared. And the current time is horrible. 

My company has 90 Days notice period. What to do? Recruiter on this spot reject direct after hearing 90 Days. 

(1 Year experience) (salary is around 10)

 Also wanted to change tech stack. And how much salary should I target now given the market condition? Some recruiter even straight away said you are already getting paid high. 

grapevine fellows, please advise.
