And what package I can expect after 5 years in network domain.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi non tech person here.
Wondering how such inflated salaries in tech will survive in comparison to salaries of say marketing or sales in an organisation. 
The bubble seems to be bursting but will love you know the thoughts of tech people. 
Should I make a move towards a tech role after learning coding, I have PQE of 6 years in my field and earn decent.

Why are tech salaries so high? Software Engineers, Developers? 

What should non-tech people do?

Tech vs Non-Tech salaries

Investment Associate

I have 2 offers. One from a tech company and another from a non-tech company for SDE1 backend. 

The non-tech company is offering me more pay. Significantly more. 

Does working in a tech company offer you any sort of edge over working with a non-tech company? The non-tech company has good WLB. Not sure of the tech company though.

Tech vs non-tech company

Software Engineer

How’s 10-15% annual hike after basically building the whole feature set for the company. Are the markets really bad for startups too, or are they using the big tech layoffs as an excuse

Salary hike - saas

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

While the starting salaries and salaries at <10 yoe have really sky rocketed and this is good for the ecosystem, wanted to understand what happens to salaries in tech/product post 15 yoe+. 

I’m curious about this especially because it doesn’t tie up with income tax data. Assuming seniors leaders in tech and product would be making 1 cr+ easily and most of these would have formal streams of income that can’t be hidden easily, income tax department reports only around 1.3 lakh individuals (2 year old data though) who had taxable income above 1 cr. Even if the number has risen to 2 lakhs now, it still doesn’t tie back to the stories here of many people making above 1 cr.

Is the income tax data wrong or are the salaries plateauing at around 80-90L or have people found some amazing ways of saving tax. Just curious!

Salary plateau at 15 yoe+?

Product Manager

Hey peeps!

Currently working in a Fintech company in Mumbai as a Frontend Engineer with over a year of experience. The current CTC is 7 LPA. 

I feel like the growth here is limited and from the past few months there's been a lot of micro-management. Even the CTC is not up to Mumbai's expense standard. I live in a soapbox and pay like 1/5 th of monthly salary. Standard of living has been decreasing while it should be opposite.

+ I've 6 days work week with 9 hours /day shift. Although I've decided to drop in papers soon, I'd like to hear your opinions. 

Brownie points if you refer me to some good early stage startup probably in BLR or Pune or Remote.

Should I continue or resign

For Software engineers with 7/8 years of experience or access to relevant data points, can someone tell me the following:

Pay structure and salary increment in 2016-2019 cycle vs 2019-2023 cycle 

I have a feeling that a lot of SEs here have an inherent sense of entitlement, that they deserve a salary X / WFH / other covid perks... which is primarily pegged to the madness of 2020-22, where they were getting abnormal salary increments. My hypothesis is that they are still better off in 2019-23 cycle vs 2016-19 cycle.

Thoughts?

I want to understand if you are also satisfied with your compensation?

How much do you really earn? Honest Answers Please 🙏

2.4 lakhs/month. 
      
 Not a developer. 
 Not in Tier 1 city.  
 Not in FAANG or whatever it’s called now. 
 No loans or EMIs for now. 
  
 Married to my GF of six years. She earns 1.3 lakhs/month. 
  
 Guess, I could say I am extremely satisfied.

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

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Young SWE start with double digit salaries, while someone in Non tech will need 5-10 years to reach that level
Even the business roles, the direct revenue generating roles don't pay good traditionally

Funny how techies think everyone gets paid similar
A lot of it changed with startups trying to acquire talent, but not sustainable
Because the market simply doesn’t pay

How do non tech compete with this skewed demand-supply chain?

Tech and Non tech Pay Partiality is something no one talks about

Engineers deserve their pay.  
  
 1 - The code that engineers write are assets of a company. The code might keep running and serving customers for years after a engineer has probably even left the company.  
 On the other hand, the work that most non-tech folks do are not assets, but an operational expense.  
  
 Companies don't derive benefit of a non-tech even beyond the same month the work is performed.  
  
 The difference is the same as painting your house vs brushing your teeth. You don't paint your house everyday but you do brush your teeth. Painting here is a long lasting asset, adds to the value of the house. Brushing is necessary work but with ultimately perishable benefits.  
  
 2 - Code that engineers write provide non-linear benefits. A team of 30 in Zerodha were able to serve 3-5x more customers in the pandemic. This same scalability does not apply to non-tech majdoori. Business has scaled? Hire more heads. Not with code. 
  
  
 Obviously above does not apply to senior managerial folks who build and architect the organisation, set the cultures, create processes. The impact of their work is long lasting and non-linear. But work of junior business non-tech folks - well, they're getting paid as much as the value they create. Low leverage, low pay. Coding is very high leverage. 
  
 Before you jump on me, I worked for sales in years. Then shifted to product. Above two points are a reality whether you like it or not.

Welcome to Consulting's Private Community

Apart from the product managers, do the MNCs pay high for any MBA roles? Where can someone with 7-10yrs of post MBA experience be making 1.5Cr cash? 

Indian conglomerates do pay good, but that's post a 20yr career with them. Do the SAP, Salesforce, Bosch and other tech MNCs pay top dollar for non technical folks here?

I am also not considering the heads of ODCs here who lead the delivery of the software centers. Non tech MNCs like the FMCG cos, or consulting are anyway a top recruiter at MBA colleges and well known about their comp. I am looking for other industries/ companies that pay well

What non-technical/ non-engineering roles are paid handsomely by tech MNCs

For someone with 6 years of experience in your field, what salary range do you anticipate or think is reasonable? Let's discuss how factors like industry, location, and skills impact expectations.
