Current CTC

Hello all

I have approx 15 years of experience and out of which 12 has been in USA (Silicon Valley) with some of the renowned tech companies. (No FAANG though) 

I am considering to move back to India and was wondering what kind of CTC I can expect. 

Here is my profile: 
15 years of experience in industry. Have been a senior/lead software engineer/architect in these companies. Have tried some sort of leadership too. 

Been a global conference speaker and author too. 

I would be Targeting mostly product companies with the same level (staff engineering) 

I plan to come back sooner (~12 months ish) 
Also if your company is hiring let’s chat. 
Thank you

Approx CTC for my level

Software Engineer

Currently, I'm employed at Cognizant, with 2.5 YOE in developing AI chatbots and other AI applications using Microsoft Azure cloud services. My current ctc is 9Lpa. Should I stay with Cognizant or consider switching for a higher salary?

Should I switch?

Business Analyst

I am basically confused, I really want to experience other culture in general; but for me in India I cannot experience or explore anything other than work like 24/7 availability, late night work and the current work requires me to work in US timezone and let us address the elephant in the room taxes in India, now hear me out taxes in EU are high but the benefits are good compared to India like WLB (especially being an SRE/Devops), less stressful work environment. I do not want anyone to mess with me after 6 PM post work.

I feel risk >>>>>>> regret 

I got an admission at a University in EU region but I am seriously contemplating the possibilities ?

Please leave your comments, Is anyone on the same boat ?

Should I move to EU if I have a salary of around 25LPA in India as a Devops Engineer ?

Software Developer

I'm a software professional making 50LPA in India.

Getting offers from Germany, Spain for 100000 euros per year.

What should I choose? Relocating to Europe or stay back in India? How are savings in European countries compared to India? 

I know quality of life will be better in Europe. But is it true that you feel alone there (being away from family)?

Anybody with similar experience?

Salary and relocation advice

I am currently working (2 yoe) at a decent service based startup (CTC 7L) but I feel like I could do much better. This job feels easy (nothing new to learn).

#background
I graduated in electrical from a tire II college, since I fell in ♥️ coding (thanks to robotics club and YouTube) i choose this career, but now looking at all the other profiles I feel i am not getting access to those cheese jobs, kind of those that have high scope to learn and earn. 

So I feel like getting into a top college and getting a masters in CS might help me. 

What do you all think ?

[Thinking about Germany because of no tuition fees and safety]

Should I do MS abroad ?

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 !

Salary expectation for Application Lead(Bengaluru)

Tech Lead

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

I am 31 M and am married with no kids as of yet. 

I have been to the US for my master's and also did a job there for some time. I came back to India in 2020 due to visa issues. 

Ever since then I have been thinking of going out of India, maybe to Canada (or nowadays Nordic countries are also accepting immigrants). But I am confused and unsure of what to do. 

I feel stuck here at my current job and feel like I haven't grown much. There are a lot of opportunities in other countries and the biggest motivation is lifestyle upgradation.

On the other hand, going to other countries would also mean a lot of struggle at this stage of my life, which I did the first time around when I went to the US. Plus there is this war situation happening in multiple countries. No one knows what will happen of that.

One more factor is - India is also doing fairly well and is seen as having the maximum growth potential in the next 5-10 years

What do you suggest? What are the points that I should consider? 

Also if I were to try to move out, which countries would you recommend I look at? What are the benefits? 

Help please!!!

Should I move out of India?

Here is my background:-
1. Started Working as a full stack intern at a startup at 10K per month in April 2021. (Let's refer to this startup as A).
2. Joined A as FTE at 8LPA in Jan 2022.

5. The startup (A) was acquired in Feb 2023 by a big fintech and salary was increased to 18 LPA (14.4 Fixed, rest variable).

Considering my experience and salary, should I think about a company switch?

Honestly I do think that my learnings have become stagnant lately, I want to explore new tech which I am unable to do now.

What do you all think?

Please give me your honest opinion 🙏

I have around 4.5 YOE
I started from a service based company where I had clients like PwC and Tata Play
Then moved to Target as a Data Engineer
Last month, I switch from Target after 2 years, to CRED as Backend engineer.
How’s my journey so far?
Current CTC, 34 fixed.
How am I doing?
I plan to switch after I have around 6-6.5 YOE?
How likely is it for me to crack a job in another reputed US/EU company or maybe one outside India?

Any career tips you can give?

What should be my fair salary ask?

Consultant

I am working in a Pre Seed GenAI Startup (2020 Founded) as Head of Engineering (Team of 20 with 5-6 in Engineering, No CTO) 

It's been 3.5 years (3yrs Full Time + 6mon Internship) Previously it is in EdTech now in GenAI Space 

My CTC is 8 LPA + 0.45% ESOPs (10-12L in 25cr valuation). 
Skills: Nodejs, Nextjs, Monorepos, MongoDB, AWS, Serverless

1-2yrs ago we were thinking about scaling the tech team, etc but then that EdTech model started failing and then we went to a war time after that we pivoted currently also we are burning money revenue is there but very less (25% of the expense)

I was of the view that I want to lead teams and scale products That's why I was there in the team It can be the case tomorrow if we scale 

but Now I am confused whether I should switch my job and or stick with the startup maybe the startup grow tomorrow or a big VC fund us to scale (as I have ESOPs) or it will just be a waste of time or opportunity cost

Please guide 🙏 Anyone with a similar startup experience would really appreciate your help 🙏
