Confused about the work environment

I am currently working at a product based startup as a full stack developer (Spring Boot + React Native). The product is pretty big and there are only 2 developers (A react native developer and me). It's my first job. I have been working as a full time employee for 1 year and 3 months, and was a part time backend developer intern at the same company for 8 months. I have to work for 6 days a week (9 hrs / day including breaks) and now they are asking me to do overtime without any added advantages. I am working on 4 different projects in parallel (The main product (React Native), Internal App (React Native), REST API Backend (Spring Boot) and The main website (React JS) and a new website is in discussion for internal purposes) and also handling Docker containers and AWS deployment. I am getting paid INR 3LPA Is this normal? I am getting a feeling that I am under paid too. I do have 3 backlogs to clear (BTech CS). Should I look for a new job or stay at the same company?

My suggestion would be to stay here and concentrate on clearing the backlog. The degree is important at this point.

Till the time you clear backlogs, don’t move anywhere. Since you have created dependency, you can try to have your way there to some extent, by not doing as much time as they are asking you too. Don’t work so much that it leads to burn out. 6 days * 9 hrs, is good enough, give or take an hour or so.
