Need a decent salary but work life balance and a healthy work environment is heavily needed.

💯. As long as your basic needs are met and you don't have to sacrifice too many desires, it's fine. You need to be alive and have time on your hands to make use of whatever you are earning.

I’ll get peace of mind if me and my partner can make 50Lakhs combined

For me, success isn’t confined to a yearly salary figure or how much money I make. I agree that financial stability is important, true success at least for me is about how well I am regarded by my peers, colleagues, and mentors in my industry or domain. It’s about the impact I create and the value I bring to the table and field. The money will follow, but it’s the reputation and relationships that truly last.

I would say in hand close to 1.5 lac per month is a very good salary.

Once the loans are completely paid then current one is also sufficient to see myself successful 😀

Business Analyst

As of now, 24L and I will be happy. the greed will definitely rise after that and I will say 50 lakh to be happy. 🤣🤣

Technical Lead

what will you be able to do in 2cr/annum which you can't do in 1cr/annum?

Software Engineer

I believe Work life balance is more important than high end packages,

Is it a number that gives you freedom? Security? Or just peace of mind?  IMHO Once I reach 2Cr/annum I would feel like I have made it.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Recently started earning and honestly living a comfortable life with a much lower salary than most people talk about. Doing the math, I don't see myself needing more than 18L-24L in hand to save and continue living comfortable (but I am someone who always likes to do more and get paid more).
If you're <30 and earning this much money, why do you push for higher salary (eg from 30LPA to 40 LPA) - is 30 not enough?

Genuine query, open to any perspectives 🙏

If you earn 20+ LPA, what do you spend on?

Marketing Manager

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Disclaimer: I have nothing against high earners in this group who are doing exceptionally well and earning big bucks at young age. You have my admiration. 

Target audience of this post: Everyone else who is doing okay in their job, earning an average salary for their age. 

Why have I posted it?: To not feel I am the only one who is a normal regular person doing just average in his life in this hyper competitive rat race. 

My thoughts: I clearly remember the moment, it was April 2007, I had barely completed the board exams of class 10th and joined class 11th. It was my first week into class 11th when a fine looking gentleman walked into our class to make us think of our future career path. He was from a coaching institute for IIT JEE and AIEEE. He told us about all the high salary packages at these premier institutes. I excitedly told my parents about it. 

Like any middle class parents, they dreamt of their son cracking the exam and securing good placements from IITs/NITs. They enrolled me in coaching. I worked hard for those 2 years, 11th and 12th. But what was harder was the constant stress and pressure I was put in, both intentionally and unintentionally. These ideas that 'I must crack JEE to have a good future', 'if you don't get through JEE then you are a waste' etc, were hammered into my mind day in and day out. 

I didn't crack JEE but got into a well reputed private engineering college of India.. Fast forward 4 years, did my MBA from  tier 2 college only to join a service company at salary that would be considered too low for most of the folks here who compare salary like a plague. Recently joined a product company with good jump. Realised all that pressure I was put under in high school wasn't necessary. I am doing ok in life. 

 I think it's okay to be earning an average salary, everyone of us is on his own journey of growth and comparing ourselves on basis of packages seems myopic

Too much gyaan? Getting a perspective on late Saturday night!!!

It's okay to be normal and ordinary

When I was younger, 1cr felt like a dream. When I got there, the goalpost moved to 3cr. Those I know who are already at 3cr net worth, are now chasing 5cr. And those at 5cr, claim 10cr is the target... 

Is there a cliff at which more people are content with where they are vs those who aren't?

How much is enough?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Is an MBA necessary for success in non-engineering roles? Most of my seniors and managers at the company are MBAs and very few non MBA managers hav￼e made it to a good role + salary. 

Anyone has any experience to share.

I have an existing pure term insurance worth 1 CR. I feel I am under insured and want to go for another pure term insurance worth Rs 1 CR. How should I decide if I should go ahead with this?

What is your dream net worth? If you hit this amount, you’ll retire tomorrow.

Net worth

Technical Writer

How much do you think is enough?

It's usually never enough for a lot of people and life is bound to throw a lot of curveballs along the way (for better or for worse), but what's the first figure that comes to your mind at which you feel "okay, if I work for X more years and amass this much money/net worth, I can comfortably hang up my boots and retire"?

Additionally, how far along are you in achieving this goal?

I've noticed that a common trend is that a lot of folks, for all their future planning, still don't have enough (or as much as they would like) long-term clarity about what they're working towards and how much more and was hoping this sort of discourse could help bring better awareness.
P.S. - I fall in that category as well, fortunately or unfortunately.

What's your retirement corpus goal?

What are you earning for ? Is it concrete or something vague that one day you will need this amount or something? Is it more than you or your family needs?

Or are you just a sheep like me ?

Do you know what you are earning for ?

What are you earning for ? 
  
 To meet existing cost of living, 
 have runway for 5+ years, 
 medical emergency fund, 
 house, 
 car, and 
 seed fund for my business. 
  
 Is it concrete or something vague that one day you will need this amount or something? 
  
 Targets are known and quantifiable. So, yes, concrete at the moment. 
  
 Is it more than you or your family needs? 
  
 Not really. 
  
 At the current pace, it will take numerous years before I meet my current targets. 
  
 Or are you just a sheep like me ? 
  
 You are not a sheep. 
  
 You are a hero, waking up each morning, doing something productive and adding their bit to the world.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Most of us here on GV are in the corporate boat. Some experienced, some new. I think most of us would not have dreamt of working in our jobs in childhood, and almost all of us landed into some role after our education and continued to grow after. While you continue to work for that next promotion or hike, when do you get the feeling of making it in corporate?

When did/would you feel you’ve made it?

When I don’t hate my job. That’s it. That’s my parameter.

Wanted to check the ideal CTC as per the market standard.

Program Manager

I have 10+ years of experience in PR and I’m currently working with an Indian startup. The startup is doing ok given the marker conditions (just ok) so I only got a 13% appraisal last year and my CTC is now 26L. Is this too low or is it okay?
