Seeing the salary discussion happening among unicorn and top tier tech co. employees, i must confess I get anxiety everytime I check into this app.
Like wtf. Am in this co. happily slogging for last 5 yrs getting 18LPA even though I have total experience of 12 yrs working in Privacy and compliance solutioning team.
Now i feel like I have been living under a rock. Am already thinking of hopping in April, that's when my promotion, hike and bonus will be settled 😉 Wherever i land next i am sure I will spend another 5 yrs minimum, coz I will be logging out from here.
I blame you folks for killing the innocence out of me.
A couple of points:
Social media is desgined to give anxiety, I dumped Insta/FB/LinkedIn/Snap last year and my life is so peaceful now. But I understand your point in this case, seems like indeed you were living under a rock.
Don't compare yourself to others, that's the most harmful thing you can do to yourself, but comparing your compensation against the industry average is a fine thing to do (more on that later).
Get out of that company as soon as possible, the domain you're in right now has a very high demand, I am assuming for a company like Swiggy, compliance and privacy would be a very small business function. Severely limited growth in terms of learning and compensation.
Try any of the big4s, privacy is a hot domain right now, and will remain for years to come. If possible upskill yourself with any of the privacy and compliance frameworks GDPR, FedRAMP, ISO27k etc etc.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for the valuable advice. None that I can't handle. Just a poor joke I guess 😬
Actually made me pull up my socks and be ready for next challenge.
I do have lots of platform certificates like OneTrust and BigID and now scheduled a test for CIPT Feb end. Ul
I don't work for swiggy. I am too lazy to set up anything. Apologies for the misunderstanding.
Switch to any product based company. Since in any good product based company ctc of freshers starts fron 20lpa
With knowledge comes power. Good luck.
Heh folks,
Just came in after a long time to update.
I have changed my job and yes, Its been proven that I have been living under a rock.
I managed to get a little over 35 L + good amount of stocks in a product based company now.
If it wasn't for Grapevine I'd still be living under a rock n happily working there with 22 L by now (yes, my prev company offered me a promotion n a little raise .. cute)
Hello good folks of grapevine, I am very confused with my situation right now. I am currently working at a consumer tech unicorn in a strategy role but really burnt out with the working environment. I have no clarity on my roles and resp...
Why is Grapevine turning into Quora?
I can't seem to relate to much of the non-FAANG junta out there. I mean I have a cushy job with probably 0.1% pay of all SWEs(pretty much like all of us do). But these cookie-cutter roles have been taking a mental toll on me. Like I am g...

I want to understand if you are also satisfied with your compensation?
2.4 lakhs/month. Not a developer. Not in Tier 1 city. Not in FAANG or whatever it’s called now. No lo...
