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.

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

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.

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.
