I’m a final year student based out of India, and am currently doing the last month of my internship at a SF based startup. As the only DevOps engineer, and being quite skilled at at (at least according to myto YoE), I was getting paid around 2 LPA per month as a part time intern for the past 6 months.
I recently got another 3 month internship offer from a foreign company, and I’m taking it since I don’t want to get stuck at remote job in India, and explore some abroad companies as well before I settle. Pay there is also quite good, but I don’t wish to take FTE there as I have to live in India only (family reasons, rural background, younger siblings and their study, etc.)
Now when I finally start my job hunt in the final days of my winter internship, what should be the pay I expect from Indian / Remote companies? Considering I was getting paid a fair amount as mentioned above even in a part time role. Or was I overpaid and I should keep my expectations low or equal to it in a Full Time Role?
I have spent equal amount of time in MNC and startup facing high salary growths and layoffs. I am currently at 31 LPA in an MNC using all highly demanding tech stack and enjoying what I do.
I need help understanding if 31 LPA fixed + ...
That’s right, Spill the beans! 💴💰
Example format
Looking forward to see if I am overpaid, underpaid or average paid 👀
I'll keep it short. I'm 22 M. Joined a startup last year July as Intern (got paid 15K/m)
Got PPO, joined as FTE this June, 7.2 LPA (60k/m).
Fyi, I work as a Software Engineer (Mobile)
@GreedyFaucet on what tech stacks did u work at the startup?
Frontend in React / Next / MUI, Backend in Python / Flask / GraphQL, and AWS setup, management and administration. Data Engineering Pipelines on Snowflake and AWS as well
That's great. I also work with Python, Flask and AWS. And also into data engineering.
Can we pls chat more? I would love to connect with you. Shall I drop my mail here?
What’s wrong in taking FTE ?
A lot of responsibility here to get my family out from rural area for my siblings studies and stuff, plus pressure from parents as well to live in India 😞
Get out when u can send them money from abroad. You can always move back later you are too young to not experience this
*LPA = lakhs per annum
LPA per month is incorrect lol.
Also 2L would be the upper limit of what you would be getting. So what @ThoseFarrow said.
Oh yeah my bad. Also it’s disappointing but it is what it is I guess 😞
