How much are you making as an IC at non-FAANG companies in Bangalore?


I make 30 lakhs at non-FAANG company. I have about 10 years of experience. I don't know how to value this before switching. Please post your salaries.

30L for 10 years is not very competitive I'm afraid. I know of companies paying 20L cash + equity for ~1 year of experience. You should be looking for a lot more.

Levels and Blind are better sources probably.

This was my TC 2 years back at a FAAANG

Base 65K USD

Stocks 55K USD per yr

Bonus at least 15% of base

FWIW I hated and still hate Bangalore for nightmare traffic, very poor quality of air and drinking water. No TC can fix that so I relocated out of India

Btw quality of work even at FAANG is secondary.

If you prefer India Hyderabad is better IMHO

In my experience salaries of "IT peepul" varies quite a bit based on domain, company, hw/sw etc

To my limited knowledge 30L for 10yr experience is around the mid range for a generic s/w job (i.e. nothing niche)

depends on the skill level i just placed a friend of mine with 12yrs experience currently at 35L as TL in a new company at 60L as engineering manager. so one has to be on look out for options as well as up skill if you want better salaries.

You can get upto 60-80 lakh + stocks in some startups and well financed companies.

I'm not sure if everyone would be comfortable sharing their pay here. However, I'd suggest you to checkout https://levels.fyi website, it should provide you some insights.
