My Current salary is low in comparison to the company slab for my position/Grade.

I recently switched 2 months back from a small company to a new MNC. My current organization grade is 4 and slab ranges from 10 to 22 lpa for grade 4. Now my previous salary was 4.6 lpa and the current is 11.68 lpa. I know it's a great hike. Still I am feeling bad cause of the same position people who work exactly the same getting more. My current experience is 3 years. I even talked with my manager and no result for that. What should I do?

Higher package to new-comer, how to handle

The title says it all. I feel stuck in my company because I lack confidence in my tasks. Reason? Unlike other junior employees, I don't have a team to train, and my manager takes a long time to review my work. Second thing, Recently, I saw a job posting for a junior position offering a higher salary than mine. When I asked HR about it, he confirmed it was for our company and mentioned that I might receive a similar salary after the next appraisal cycle. I am frustrated now. And I've been applying for jobs for a year but haven't had any success. How to deal with this situation.

Appraisal

I joined this company as a fresher software engineer. My work involves full-stack development, including advanced-level Angular (with NgRx, signals, etc.) for the frontend, Spring Boot for the backend, and MS-SQL for procedures. I started with a salary of ₹3 LPA (monthly in-hand ₹20,400 after deductions) and have been working at the same salary for the past 1 year and 8 months. Now, for my first appraisal, the company has decided to give me a 15% hike, increasing my in-hand salary to just ₹23,500. Is this the industry standard for someone with nearly 2 years of extensive experience? For context, our company is a product-based startup catering to the apparel manufacturing industry. Am I underpaid? What is the average salary range I can expect for a similar role with similar experience?

My wife is working in cognizant. She is getting 11LPA with 7 years of experience as power apps and power automate developer. She got placed in one small company and they agreed to pay 16LPA. Is this below par? They said okay immediately for this package. Is she getting underpaid here or is it fine to join?

From ₹2.75 LPA in 2014 to ₹10 LPA in 2025 – a 263% hike!

But is it truly growth, or just inflation catching up? Considering rising costs, is this increase really worth it? 🤔 Let’s discuss - how has your salary growth compared over the years? Share your salary when you started and how its going now

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.

Market value for .net fullstack

I am a .NET full-stack developer with ten years of experience. I work with Angular and .NET microservices deployed on Azure. I believe I am a strong problem-solver and a quick learner. I am currently employed by one of the Big Four firms with a total compensation of 31 LPA (fixed + variable). I have received an offer of 42 LPA (all fixed) from a US-based product company establishing a GCC in India. I am still exploring opportunities and am quoting 10% above my last offer. Recently, I received a call from Deloitte, and they indicated their maximum budget is 34 LPA fixed. I am concerned that my salary expectations may be becoming too high, potentially limiting the number of companies that can afford me. Could I have some advice on this matter?

I have potential; I bring skills and cleared an interview, so I'm getting that. The director said the salary engineer doesn't get at your experience.

Crossroads Between Big 4 Firms: EY GDS to Deloitte USI

Recently, I joined a new journey by joining EY GDS. It's been an exciting less than one month filled with onboarding experiences and initial project interviews. However, I am now faced with a significant decision: I have received an offer from Deloitte USI, which offers a salary package that is 2.5 LPA higher than my current role at EY. I am confused about making the decision like which one is best for me. Here are my considerations: 1. Would Deloitte provide better long-term growth opportunities than EY? 2. How does the culture and work environment differ between the two firms? 3. While the financial aspect is enticing, does it outweigh the potential learning and opportunities at EY? If I decide to move to Deloitte, the process of exiting EY is also a concern. With only less than one month into this role, I wonder how to handle the exit professionally, considering my offer letter and background verification have been processed. (PF has been generated) Please share your views!!

Did I make a mistake by accepting the offer with keeping tax things in mind instead of asking more

So for context I am a java developer with 3 yoe and was working in mnc so I started looking for a switch and got an offer of 9.6 LPA with 10% variable, then I couldn't get any other offer for some time but I had a salary discussion for a company on my LWD. Initially my ask was 13LPA when we discussed on call but , after reading so much of the new regime taxes and all in the discussion, In the salary discussion part I told them to give me 12.75LPA instead of 13 when I could have asked for more cause I could see they're happy with my previous rounds. I was thinking about Taxes and that's why I didn't go above the 1275000 and now I am kinda thinking I should have asked for more.
