Salary expectations for SSE 6 YOE

As the title suggests, what are the current market expectations for senior software engineers with 6 YOE in product based and service based companies? Stack: Java, Spring boot, Kafka, Microservices, Angular, Git TC: 20 LPA The market seems to be on a hiring freeze, but I do find hiring happening in some companies, so any idea about current market and the expectations are welcome.

I’d say your current TC of 20 LPA is reasonable, but with your experience, you can definitely aim for higher in product-based companies, especially if you’re targeting high-growth sectors like fintech or SaaS.

[awesomesnail](username) Definitely agree, the market is quieter now, but some companies are still hiring, especially those in the cloud and fintech sectors. For your stack, 20-25 LPA is a reasonable range in service-based companies, and 25-30 LPA for product-based.

20 LPA sounds like a solid base, but with your experience, you could aim for a higher package in some companies, especially in product-based firms like Amazon or Flipkart, where 25-30 LPA is more common for SSE roles.

Since you're working with technologies like Kafka and Microservices, you’re in a niche that's still in demand. Product-based companies like to offer competitive salaries (25-30 LPA), while service-based may be a bit lower (~20-22 LPA), but it’s good to explore your options
