I don't. Just demand more.

How much more, that's the question

At least a 50% increase every year. Either you give me an annual increment, or I’ll switch jobs. The market isn't bad if you know how to earn.

On the operations side, I have an answer on how to identify if you are underpaid/average/overpaid. If your CTC is less than Experience x 2, if multiplied by 3 you are avg, by 4 you are overpaid and you will be satisfied at this stage. However, this logic may be different if you are software engineer.

Yep was looking for non tech. Software engineers get crazy money, I don't want to get into that calculation

By leverage, determined by what multiple of outcome you are able to produce with the investment the employer makes in you. It not just depends on your own skill and capabilities but also in the ecosystem. A software engineer at Google is paid 3 lakhs a month because he can bring massive revenue to the company with even a simple development. The same person cannot drive that kind of outcome in TCS, so he will be paid 60k per month. If the same person becomes a clerk in a bank, he will be paid 30k per month. Each of these is fair pay in the given ecosystem.

So when evaluating your own worth, you need to figure out by what factor you would be able to amplify your wage. https://nesslabs.com/high-leverage-activities

I have a generic formula here:

TC (cash component) = 10 * YOE ± max(5, YOE)

Setting the record straight!

To all the people here, I have observed way too many posts on salary checks based on experience.

I can pretty much guarantee you, your salary or pay doesn't depend on your years of experience. Your salary or pay depends on these factors...
