Market Risk Associate Salary in India (Updated 2025)

Likes

Salary is decent compared to industry average. Also, You don’t need to worry about the job security unless you are really bad. Work life balance depends on which line of business and what team are you working.

Dislikes

Promotions are too slow compared to your peers in US or UK. A person will stay as an Analyst or Associate for years and your peer will become a Vice President or even an Executive Director within the same timelines. Your promotions are hardly based on your performance and mostly based on how much good relationship you have with your manager and how much the management has endorsed you as a brand.

Salary is at par with top organisations. Benefits are really good. Yearly incentive is 15-18% of CTC. Yearly hike is around 12-15% of gross pay.

Dislikes

Promotions are given to those who spend at least 5+ years in the organisation. Need to go to office weekly twice without fail, reminds me of school days when manager announces work-from-office attendance every 2 weeks. Long working hours, work life balance is a myth here. Company's culture is spoilt here in India, Managers are encouraged to micro-manage their team and managers do this job way-too-well.

Overlooking employee efforts. Bonus should be given if they stay still dec 31 of every year. This is because you are paying for the effort they already spent which should rewarded.
