How much do you earn? Wrong answers only edition 😂

29M , 7 yoe. Have a full time job plus running my own freelancing gig servicing multiple clients across the world

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!

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

You all might obviously guess that I'm speaking about the other two posts in which each of them in their early 20s making 50+ LPA and 70+ LPA respectively. Honestly curious, how do these guys get paid so much? I feel like salaries in IT industry are heavily inflated. I'm from EEE background, trying so hard to find a job in Data field. I've previously worked in my field for 3 years, but the growth seemed pretty less in the long run, hence the switch. Finding a job as a fresher (in IT industry) is so hard man. I'm mainly looking for the startups. They either ask for experience, or the pay is very similar to what I made previously in my field. (which is <10 LPA). Above all, I'm not even getting responses from companies for my applications. So yeah, how do people in their 20s make so much in the IT industry? Is it only FAANGand big corps or applicable to startups as well (like unicorns etc)???

Earning 81 lacs(including variable) after 10 yrs of work Ex, graduate from IIT. Non tech role. Where do I stand against the market?

YoE: 10.7 (7@amazon — SDE3 for 2.7 years) Current designation: SDE3 Current salary : 92L + 25L stock Location: BLR, IN I got a call from google for L7 role (BLR) which is staff role in India afaik. HR mentioned Payrange: 2-3Cr I get mixed reviews from people so asking again for BLR folks: 1. Amount of focus on coding round vs system design? 2. Amount of leet code preparation? 3. In the interview Is the focus more on leadership or knowing deeper tech nuances? 4. What’s the payrange I can get? 5. Is google L7 equivalent of amazon L6? Levels.fyi has split so not exactly sure. I am looking for responses from people who have actually gone through similar experiences rather than “I heard from my sources”.
