Professors are the most frustated people I've come across. No money, no recognition.
While coaching teachers are rich and praised.
Professors ko sab man hi man gaali hi dete hai and they are look down upon.
Becoming a professor or doing PhD in India is like daily cutting youself daily 100 times with blade.
Yeah I feel bad for good profs. Then there are those bad profs that get paid 1L+ a month smh. Makes me mad
Do you mind sharing Which college / course you teach? Your experience, educational qualification etc as wel
Sure.
College: SD COLLEGE HOSHIARPUR Course taught: B. Sc. Hons Biotechnology
5th year as assistant professor
Educational Qualification: PhD (JNU-DRDO), M.Tech,B.Pharm.
7 Patents, 4 Projects. 17 pubs (2 JBC, 1 infection immunity, 1 blood, ) Recently rejected as faculty interviewee @ IIT Delhi (lack of international exposure). Rejected a similar post @ thapar and @PU because I didn't like the department.
Why I stay in my present job? This was my first Job 😊 also it's stone's throw away for me
Go do another post doc outside India then you will get in IITs and other central institutions
What motivates you to keep going? Does pay get better with more experience?
It's a fun workspace. New tasks every year. Despite being a run of mill degree program, student trajectories are unique. Guiding them to achieve their goals is my task. Happy students are my motivation.
Pay wise, it doesn't improve. Hopefully we will get the seventh pay commission recommended salaries, but expectations are derisory.
Good 👍 teaching is my dream job but lack of pay doesn't let me do it.. plus of course I don't have the qualifications.. I plan to open a school though..
Sorry to hear that people are paid so low in such a noble profession. We possibly need reforms in education
Teach at a govt funded undergraduate college in Mumbai. They pay 12 LPA +
Waise to DU me bhi full scale hai...
Par wo maza nahin 😜
Met a PM from IIT / IIM with 4 years of experience. He is working at a well know soonicorn at a salary of 17 lakhs per year . He used to draw 30 lakhs per year in his last role before we was laid off . Interesting Times ahead
A minute of silence to all the grapevine polls where salary expectations are so high 😁
That’s right, Spill the beans! 💴💰

Looking forward to see if I am overpaid, underpaid or average paid 👀
2022 Grad here.
I currently work as a Backend Engineer at a mid-stage AI startup in Chennai. I interned with them for close to a year before I was converted to a FTE.
Current CTC -11.5 LPA Working as a full time employee since June 2022.
25LPA for 4 YOE in analytics. Is it underpaid or not?
PMs with similar background and experience make 15-20% more than me. Should I move to product?
Earning 18.5 lakhs post 2 years of experience in Data Analytics/Engineering role in an MNC in Noida. Is this as per market ranges?
