Need Thoughts for My Situation About My Role & Salary

Yo, with 10 years of experience, especially in UI/UX, you deserve a salary in the range of ₹18-22 Lakhs. Go get it!

I've recently done some research into industry standards for my role, and it seems that professionals with similar experience and skill sets are earning in the range of ₹18-22 Lakhs annually.

You can negotiate within the ₹18-22 Lak range but starting from ₹18 Lak would be ideal so be confident and speak based on your skills and experience

Imo don't approach your manager directly. Start giving interviews and try to get an offer in hand. Only once you've received the offer, approach your manager asking to atleast match the offer if not more. If you really want to continue in your current org, then adjust for an amount that is close to the offer you've received (if they don't match the offer). Else, go ahead with the offer you've got. Edit: there's no point in staying loyal to an org which doesn't value your contributions (both literally and financially- learnt it the hard way in my case). So move on to a new org if you don't get paid properly.

A market-standard salary for your profile appears to be ₹18-22 Lakhs annually. Start by requesting an adjustment closer to the higher end of the range to allow room for negotiation!

. Have you thought of compiling a portfolio of your successful projects to showcase your impact and value?

What are your thoughts on your current role?

12 Lakhs? You deserve better! With your experience, you should be aiming for a significant salary increase.

I suggest you to not approach your manager if he is a big gyaanbaaz. Just look for similar roles in other organizations and leverage your connections there if you have any.
