Did you know what average developer salaries are in India?


Fresh grads $5k / year

3-5 years experience: $10k/ year

>5 years experience: $20k

Is it coding LLM’s making this possible ? Or are these numbers wrong ?

The numbers you've provided are typically associated with mass recruiters who hire students fresh from college (most of whom are bad at coding). These companies (Infosys, Tcs etc.) pays peanuts compared to other reputed companies. The number of candidates for these mass recruiters is so high, it often reduces the average salaries.

If you only consider good colleges and good companies, the number would be around

Fresh: $10k - $20k

3-5 YOE: $20 - $35k

>5 YOE - >$35k

LLMs will likely put “offshore” out of business.

you can always keep jumping employers if you sense you're being underpaid
