How much of a hike can you expect when getting promoted from SDE1 to SDE2 internally

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I am working as a SDE -1 for a startup for more than a year now, and I am confused what should be hike percentage after getting promoted to SDE - 2 that I should expect or should demand as a bare minimum?

PS. I had 6 working days for nearly a year working 10-12 hours a day.

Appraisal Chat

What should be the salary for SDE 2 role with 2 years of experience in frontend according to current market ?

Is 43 % hike from previous job is fine for this role or they are offering less?

Software Developer

I have 2yoe as backend developer. My base is 20 and had a bonus of 5 which will end this month.
I am thinking of applying for SDE-2 roles, what salary should I expect?

What is the salary I should expect

Got a role promotion to SDE 2 but hike provided with role change was very minimal i.e 10%. I am disappointed with this as I have been rated very well by my peers. I am thinking of asking to reverse the role change for a better hike. Would like the grapevine community to share some thoughts about this.

SDE1 - SDE2 role change, hike disappointment

I am a fresher and was assuming that from sde 1 to sde 2 my salary or ctc will at least become 1.75 to 2x of current. But recently came to know that even in promotion its just 10 to 20% increment. To get 1.75 or 2x you will have to switch.

Is it the same in most of the top tech companies?

Whats the average increment rate every promotion in tech?

What should the ideal salary(base) for an SDE-3? Backend+AI

What should the ideal salary(base) for an SDE-3? Backend+AI

I work in a small startup, we have 10 people in Frontend Team. 2 SDE-2, rest all SDE-1. 
I joined as Sde-1, when I joined them, we were 4(2 SDE-2 and 2 SDE-1).

At the time of joining, they had a messy codebase, nobody cared about writing good, optimized code etc. 

Whenever I got chance to work on old feature, I used to re-write entire code from scratch, made reusable functions, components and moved common functionalities there, all these made the UI better, platform stable. 
Worked on optimization and performance. These folks never cared about all these things. 

Also started peer reviewing everyone's PRs, explained them various design patterns and made them write re-usable components, optimized, bug-free code and other things.

Now I came to know, all these efforts of my mine never reached my manager to due manipulation by one of the SDE-2. 

My manager likes this guy and allowed him to handle the FE team. 
This guy has shown that he's the one who took all these initiative and he got all these things done by the team. 
He involved the other SDE-2 in this game. 

Fast forward 1 year, I see most of my code has been slightly modified by him, moved to new file and my actual file is deleted. 
He has done this in order to remove my GitHub history. 
I'm now getting frustrated and don't know how to handle this. 

Resigning is not an option and raising with manager won't help as he's slightly biased and won't believe me. 

Any help would be appreciated. 
TIA

Getting overshadowed in tech team

## HOW MUCH SALARY SHOULD I ASK??????

Salary ask

I am a software engineer with 1 year of professional experience and about 2 years of experience counting all my freelance gigs as well as internships.

I’ve identified that I’m good at picking up new technologies easily. I’m also very detail oriented and tend to find the moat optimal solutions even though my current position only expects me to follow the PRD provided by my tech lead.

I find that most of the times, I have had to raise my concerns to my seniors for a change of an approach with me being correct almost all the time by the end of the discussion.

Now I feel confused, that maybe I was being underestimated and therefore underpaid by my employer.

Context: I switched to this company about 6 months ago with a package of 12 LPA and got a mere 5% hike to 12.65 LPA during last month with a promotion from being a technical associate -> software development engineer.
During my meeting with the manager, i was told that my performance was ‘very good’ but since its been only 6 months, they are giving me a promotion to match my skills but not give me a good hike.

Any thoughts?

CTC check

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I got reached out for a role and during the first meet, I got asked my expected salary. I'm a grad and I said 12-14 lpa. The other person in the meeting smiled a bit and showed a bit of hesitation (I think) and said that I could always negotiate. So, high chance that he's trying to lowball me. 

Now, the thing is, the startup's got like 7M in seed a funding and I also saw a college post saying that the company recruited a student from said college for a 26lpa package. Also it's a really small start-up.

I'm thinking of asking for 15+ now and would hence like some negotiation tips. Thanks.

For people who have switched from support roles to engineering dev roles, what was the hike received? I'm asking this for both lateral and progressive movements

So hello Everyone , 
A short intro , i am a 2023 grad , fumbled a 32 lpa SDE job in last round in college placement . I was among the last 2 out of 500 students and the other guy got selected or you can say i run out of luck.🙂
This left a scar ,guilt and trauma, however got placed as a cloud engineer during last week of my college.

I always wanted to do development and create stuffs . 
My current role is more of a support so now I want to switch .
Yoe :1 year 2 months 
Salary:9 lpa (7.5 base)
Fully remote 

i had solved around 220+ questions on leetcode and had a good grip on DSA but it’s been a year since i solved any questions there.
So now i will again start coding and solving leetcode from STRIVER A to Z dsa course and working on harkirat 0-100 development projects.


I aim to make myself interview ready at the end of week 5 while keeping my current job and then look for interviews during my notice period.
I am ready to take a leap of faith and grind hard .

I will keep updating on every Sunday about number of questions and development projects i worked on .
Hope it motivates you all to improve and get better at life .

I am going to use this  sub to record my weekly improvements .
 
I am open to any suggestions by my people here .

Wish me luck ✨

Frontend Engineer

Hi guys,
What salary(base) should I pitch nowadays considering I have 2 YOE in backend development.

Expected Salary

Principal Engineer with 13yoe. I have been assured of a promotion in July by my manager to Technologist position. That is, if they don't stop hikes and promotions for the whole company.

Current TC: 40L fixed + 10L bonus + stocks

Domain: Computer Vision + ML

I feel like my current TC is average to lower average for a product based MNC. And it will be at least 5 years for the next promotion, if i stick to the same company. Will appreciate inputs from folks who have been in a similar situation. Thanks!

How much percentage hike should I ask for role change/promotion?
