I'm wondering if I'm earning a very low salary

Hi, My current in-hand salary is 25,000 per month. Additionally, my company provides me with three meals a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), accommodation, and transportation services. I'm wondering if I'm earning a very low salary considering the value of these additional benefits. For your consideration: I have nearly three years of experience in the FMCG sector. I'm seeking a better opportunity where I can present a CTC of 40,000 per month, as if I were not receiving any of the aforementioned benefits from my current company. Based on this, I'm aiming for a minimum 30% hike. Please advise if my current salary is indeed too low and if my approach to seeking a new opportunity is appropriate

Deadend

Hi, I'm here to share a part of my journey from the past 12 years in my career, I started from a package of 3.6LPA in 2013 at iGate and due to a few bad decisions on my career and worthless advices from people who are always pessimistic about the industry, I switched two companies and landed in a start-up with 2.4LPA. I worked hard nearly 8-16hrs a day single handed researched, built and managed an entire vertical of a project for 8 years. When the company didn't value my contribution and thought I was too young to become a manager, I had a package of 6LPA and Senior developer in designation. I switched for obvious reasons to a TL role for 12LPA and now at the same company I'm a TPM on the basis of my contribution with 48LPA as a fixed component. I feel outclassed in terms of having a fancy CV with certifications, I feel like CTC has hit a peak with 48LPA being fixed and nearly 40% in Variable. Most companies are hesitant to hire me because of this. What should be my next move?

Job Offer Dilemma

I’m in a situation and need some guidance. I have a job offer with: CTC: 9.4 LPA fixed + 21% variable = 11.4 LPA total. Location: Chennai (not ideal for me). Another opportunity is in the pipeline, with a more suitable location, but the expected CTC is around 9.4 LPA, which is significantly lower than the first offer. To add to the dilemma, the HR of the second company feels that asking for 12 LPA (considering my 9.4 LPA fixed offer) is too high. How would you approach this decision? Should I prioritize location over salary or vice versa? Are there ways to negotiate better terms with the second company? Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Resign or Get Laid Off?

Hello, Currently in bit of a dilemma regarding my career. My organization was acquired in 2020-21 by a major tech company-one of the MAANGs. Over the past year, there have been several round of layoffs across different teams. While I hope for the best, there’s a possibility that further restructuring could affect me, even though it wouldn’t be performance-related. Staying with the company has significant advantages- stock options, ESPP, annual upskilling fund, meals, etc. If I’m able to continue, it would be great for my profile and career trajectory. However, switching to a new role now could also be beneficial, as it would likely come with a good salary hike. Based in Bangalore and earning a fixed salary of 17 LPA, which, with variables, ranges between 19-20.5 LPA. A salary increase would be helpful for me financially, especially in the current circumstances. Should I consider switching jobs at this point? If so, what should I expect as my fixed salary in the current market?

Retention discussion

Hello, Yesterday my manager had retention discussion with me. He said he will try his best to make a strong case for me & match my offer but the highest approval he could get may be 1-2L lesser of the fixed pay I am getting offered. The rest they could cover in bonus and promise good hike next year to cover the gap. What should I do? I don't have an issue staying back at Deloitte but I am expecting some more hike on my offer instead of setting for less & I also expect to have more fixed pay rather than bonus

🚨Good News for Job Seekers in India! 🚨

The Delhi High Court has passed a judgement that " if a previous employer has accepted someone’s resignation, and another employer has offered them a job then the new employer cannot back out from hiring them" This is announced, keeping in mind that most employers revoke offers without providing any clear explanations which affects the job seekers a lot! It even happened with me once, when I received an offer from google, but they postponed the joining date for 3 months and finally put the offer on hold! This is a big step for job security of employees! Kudos!🎉

Regardless of the career domain, profile, gender, location and work discipline what would you consider as a "good" salary for a 30 yr old in India? Also, don't ask me to define good, good means what would you feel is okay, is justified and a decent amount to make your family feel proud.

Need Advice on Offer Retention and Career Move

Hi all, I need your advice on a career decision. I am having 2.7 years of experience. In October, I received an offer of 10.5 LPA (10% variable). My current CTC is 7.8 LPA, all fixed. My current company is now trying to retain me with an offer of 10.75 LPA, all fixed, along with a potential appraisal in April (though I expect the appraisal percentage to be quite low). I still have 36 days left to join the new company. I'm at a crossroads and unsure about the ideal decision. Should I accept the retention offer, stick with my current company, or keep trying for better opportunities? At the moment, I'm not receiving interview calls for DevOps and SRE roles, which is my preferred domain. Any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! 🙂

Here’s my background: YOE: 2.5 years in cybersecurity Certifications: OSCP, CRTO, CRTE, CEH, eCPPTv2 I mentioned that the offer seemed on the lower side, especially given my certifications and expertise, but the HR said they couldn’t increase it further and even mentioned they might drop my candidacy if I pushed for more. I’d like your advice: How much should I reasonably ask for given my profile? Should I negotiate further or accept the offer? Is this offer aligned with the market standards for a pentesting role?

What Salary Can I Expect in an MNC?

I am currently working as a Software Engineer at a mid-sized company, where I develop small to mid-sized applications that primarily use basic coding and stored procedures, with no heavy DSA requirements. I'm looking to switch to an MNC and would appreciate any guidance, as I don’t have a mentor to consult. I have 3 years of experience and have hands-on experience with .NET, SQL, React (TypeScript), SharePoint Online (SPFx), Microsoft Graph API and basic Azure services like App Service, Storage, and OpenAI. My current CTC is 5.6 LPA. Some HR reps are suggesting a 20% increase on my fixed (5.3LPA) is standard, but this feels low. Could anyone advise on a realistic salary expectation for an MNC role?
