For Software engineers with 7/8 years of experience or access to relevant data points, can someone tell me the following:
Pay structure and salary increment in 2016-2019 cycle vs 2019-2023 cycle
I have a feeling that a lot of SEs here have an inherent sense of entitlement, that they deserve a salary X / WFH / other covid perks... which is primarily pegged to the madness of 2020-22, where they were getting abnormal salary increments. My hypothesis is that they are still better off in 2019-23 cycle vs 2016-19 cycle.
Thoughts?
