Background: I work in a D2C consumer product startup, we have an in-house website and a growing tech team of 7 people. The whole business team is 100+. I'm a '23 grad from a tier 1 engineering college. I joined the company back in September when the job market was at the bottom and I had to take a 40% pay cut (21LPA to 12LPA) (while switching (the last company ran out of funding). I was at a higher than avg base in my previous role but the current role is 20% below the average. (15LPA) The company is in a growth stage and lots of processes are yet to be defined which leads to a lot of chaos but I get a lot of freedom as well. My manager is aware of the whole situation and we had also negotiated a 6-month review for ESOP allotment. My monthly reviews have been going well and we have shipped some good improvements and features over the last few months.

I have been working as an APM at a series C startup for the last 1 year. I did my MBA from a tier 1 college. Worked as a full stack developer for 2 years before that. Am I underpaid? What would be a fair market compensation. Should I try getting another PM job in a different company or switch back to being a dev. ( Not liking PM that much, the dev role was a better experience.)

I have a overall experience of 6 years and recently moved into the product role in AI tech. I am being offered a CTC of 35 LPA. How is this as per the market? My research on Glassdoor and other sites gave me a big range, so I am quite perplexed about the asking number. I am planning to move out soon to another company, so help me community- how much are you making?

Hey Guys, Typically how much are CAs working in Startup’s (Seed / Series A) as Finance Manager or Finance Controllers, paid ? (Cash + ESOP)? Any information or insights would be helpful since there seems to be very less publicly available data on this. PS: Years of experience can be between 2-5 years Thanks 😊

I have spent equal amount of time in MNC and startup facing high salary growths and layoffs. I am currently at 31 LPA in an MNC using all highly demanding tech stack and enjoying what I do. I need help understanding if 31 LPA fixed + (2.5 lpa variable extra) is a right as per standards both ways either underpaid or overpaid. I am more comfortable in an MNC and wanted to get more insights before making a switch.

There’s this chap on GV who posted that they haven’t received any calls for the past 3 months. Has 2.5 years experience with a current ctc around 15L. We spoke to them only to realise their expectations are 32L (26 fixed and 6 in esops) In a market flooded with resumes due to unfortunate situations, is it fair to have such an expectation and at the same time, call out on GV that they haven’t been getting calls for an interview?

Have more than 5 years of experience working for a consulting MNC, a SaaS startup and a medium-sized consulting company. Over the years have gotten the opportunity to work as a frontend engineer(angular, react), a fullstack engineer(java, javascript/typescript, python) and currently a data engineer(pyspark/databricks, azure, gcp). Projecting my self as a fullstack/backend engineer only. What should be my fair salary ask in series A/B/C startups & other product companies? I believe many of people in here will be in the same boat as me, so please put down your thoughts…!
