Chase or Chill
Got done with annual performance cycle and new comp got upgraded to ~1.6Cr, a modest ~10% increase over last year.
I like the work I do, have lot of autonomy, great manager, flexible WFH policy, great WLB, chill life, good job security. Sort of too comfortable at present.
Salaries posted here for Swiggy/Zomato/Salesforce/Google/Uber/Atlassian for YOE I have seems too lucrative. But all their reviews are bad or not promising for me to switch.
I have considered switching, even though it make sense from economical sense, I worry too much about the WLB, culture for etc.. Even if I switch and get a hike to 30Lakh, I would end up paying ~10lakh to my Stepney wife (ahem ahem Nirmala Tai).
-
It is not worth the switch. Is it fine to expect 20-30% increase at this level in this economy? How is the job market?
-
Can others who are earning in the range in India talk about their dilemma whether they would keep chasing the salary or be content with status quo?

Idk if it’s a flex or not but mujhe ye dekh k bhaut bura lag raha hai…13 YoE means you must be nearing mid 30s, even now if you ponder such questions then I feel you don’t give yourself enough credit for all the experience and wisdom you’ve gained.
35+, married, have an infant daughter.
I haven’t changed much in my 13 yr career. Only 1-2 times. My friends keep saying that I’m too comfortable and haven’t flexed it.
Stepney wife cracked me up 🤣🤣
The more the merrier, I'm not even in your league of earnings but paying yearly hafta to Nirmala Tai is okay if you are getting that 20-30% hike. I personally want to chase money till I'm 40 and then just settle down in a tier 2 city with ample amounts coming in from passive income. That's my retirement dream.
One of my friends used to think the same, he died last year at the age of 37. Not demotivating anyone, just a reminder that money is important but it isn’t everything.
Whenever I open the grapevine, I go into more depression 😊 very happy for you bro but why the f u hurt me bro.
Sorry, I made you feel this way..
Even I was quite happy and never bothered about the money. Recently I looked at the salaries in Grapevine and wondered whether am I being paid less for my skills/YOE etc..
I'm having half your yoe and I make exactly half of what you make in a year 😅. Does it mean I'm on right track?
80L a year @ 6.5 yoe ?
🙇♂️ Can you share some suggestions please ?
I make 25L @ 1.5 YOE
What's your base
Not earning in the range. Half of what you're making. But Hi! Market is bad. Plus faang jobs aren't really chill anymore
There's always better and worse out there, right? The real question is, how much money will you need to be happy? Some folks are happy with ₹3.5 LPA at Accenture, others aren't happy even making ₹3.5 lakhs a day. It's all about you and your family.
