Are Web3 Remote Devs underpaid in India?

I work at a Web3 company, with an in-hand of $85K annually, but I feel my coworkers earn way more. I am a fresher out of college, but I've been dabbling with Web2 for 4 years, and Web3 for 2 years. Just wanted to know if the salary is unjustified or not.

Why do you expect to be paid 6 figure $ salary sitting in India with only 0 YOE?

As I said, I might be fresh out of college but I've atleast 4 years of Web2 and 2 years of Web3 experience

Have you worked professionally as an FTE for an established org for those years? If yes, then underpaid, otherwise no.

I'm a lawyer, I work in the Web 3 industry

@RationalIndian is absolutely right

But also, in general, remote companies tend to "underpay" Indian and Asian employees in general, especially as compared to their European or American counterparts cause, obviously, cost of living difference

Also, also, can I send you my profile, I think your company should have a legal person on retainer :3

You're essentially getting 70 LPA, I think, in the Indian market, it puts you way way way above "underpaid"

Definitely underpaid, you should be getting 100M shibs /s

this question like most others on grapevine is either a flex or a larp

Really depends on the role and responsibilities tbh. Also what the company does.

Mostly token-gating and DAO governance and management solutions. And yeah, I'm a software engineer there

That's a pretty niche area, it's possible the company itself isn't making a lot of money in the first place.

And you're still making better than the average web2 developer according to your experience if I'm not wrong.

What about Remote startups?

Does anyone here work at any remote startups that are based out of India? How is the work culture? How is the pay? Do we actually get paid in dollars? What's career growth?
