I've seen this only a couple of times as a hiring manager.

It was a bloody dogfight with the TA teams and Business Finance to get approvals to come somewhere near the market parity comp for experience.

The usual culprit is folks who don't speak up and demand that they be paid for the value they are adding ti the org. Mostly due to a severe inferiority complex and lack of confidence to ask!

Yes. And in the insecurity of the job. For a long time, having frank conversations with my managers regarding feedback, expectations, promotions & raises, I have felt it quite awkward. It feels easy to leave a good job, or stay discontent rather than have that uncomfortable conversation fearing the outcome of it.

Admittedly it can be daunting. But what's the worst that can happen - they'll say No.

A software engineer with 14 YoE making 14LPA is most likely heavily underpaid (assuming most/all of the 14 years of experience are engineering related).

Yea. He knows his worth but not able to get it

He/she should have made multiple switches before. My guess is he/she didn’t make the required job switches. It would be really difficult for that person to actually jump 4x of their salary(unless it’s a niche skill set which he/she maybe having).

Agreed, but switches are not easy to come.
My personal experience also has been similar. Really respect people who hold multiple offers at a point

Agreed but I think 14 years is a pretty long stretch(if the person didn’t make a switch till date).

There are many more people like this. I know 3 such people for sure. See, everyone doesn't have the same trajectory, path or career choices or opportunities.. there can be many factors at play. Had it been the same for everyone then there would have been no choices for employers to make in the market. You have all type of disparity in the market, exploration etc etc. Life is not the same for everyone.
