I want to understand if you are also satisfied with your compensation?
80L base, not satisfied at all. I am barely able to save 20-30% of salary after paying for rent, food, etc.
Once I hit 1.5cr then things might get somewhat better
What the fuck
The heck are you living at? A luxury cruise?
What in the hell, I feel like this app is only used by Senior/Upper management guys only.
Where are the 5 to 10 lacs per year guys?
They are busy hustling
Here I am, since you asked !!! My salary is 7 LPA
2.4 lakhs/month.
Not a developer.
Not in Tier 1 city.
Not in FAANG or whatever it’s called now.
No loans or EMIs for now.
Married to my GF of six years. She earns 1.3 lakhs/month.
Guess, I could say I am extremely satisfied.
what the fuck how does everyone earn 30+ lpa here
Upgrade your skills like crazy. If you offer skills and services and experience that can't be matched easily, you'll definitely be paid handsomely. Skills, experience and their demonstration gives companies reason to trust you, and a handsome salary is a reasonable price to pay from their POV. Keep in mind, for the same role your peers might get 0.75x or 2x your salary because of what they bring to the table.
Make sure you practically apply #1 in your current job. Get aggressive to learn and experience stuff. Make fast fail fast grow fast. First 5-7 years should be hectic to upgrade skills and experience. Become Mr Dependable.
Negotiate better. Don't back down from your number. When they ask you the salary range, give one number, not a range, and tell them it's non negotiable and very well thought out. Don't let them make you feel guilty or bad because of your number. If they can't give, then they can't afford you. Simple as is. Also check this nice video out - https://youtu.be/Gr861i8aB3k I didn't have this when I last negotiated, but this really boils down to what I used to do in all my negotiations. Definitely implement all he says. I would even say he mentioned one brilliant point of "don't do their work" ie, don't think oh no maybe they can't give me X so I guess I should just take X-10. NO. Fuck that. Repeating again : if they can't give you what you want, then they can't afford you. Don't let them talk you into lower number because of bs excuses like "but the industry standard is X-10" etc.
Don't underestimate yourself. A friend of mine applied to a company he thought was out of his league. That was 4 years ago. He is now earning very handsomely in it. He gave it a chance and applied thinking apply karne me kya hi ja raha. You'll miss 100% of the shots you don't take etc.
Have a good network of colleagues and peers. Goto events, make connections. Have genuine good professional relationships and maybe even out of office frien
#5 continued. Having good network and friends opens up many doors like crazy. I think we should probably have a thread about that as well, I'm sure lot of us have lots of stories of how our network and contacts landed us great jobs.
