Ok. This one actually made me smile.

You get US stocks if you relocate within same company. At 65 level MS would give 50 lac as base salary. So 90 lac to 1 cr would be possible.

Amazon nsnbshshsh Sep 28, 2018

1.5 Cr possible. You can try in startups like swiggy, Rubrik, Cohesity. Atlassian is also hiring in Bangalore and paying up to 2Cr for this experience.

Microsoft MicroTella OP Sep 28, 2018

Thanks. Although how much of this TC is in stocks that may or may not materialize?

Amazon 123raj Sep 29, 2018

Rubrik/cohesity pays that well?

Adobe cQKG54 Sep 28, 2018

Altassian does not pay this high. Don't think they easily pay 300 k in US. Do you think Swiggy can pay 80-90 lac cash.

Amazon nsnbshshsh Sep 28, 2018

I know a contacts at Atlassian and Swiggy but 1-1 data points.

Adobe cQKG54 Sep 28, 2018

And how much are those guys being paid in altassian and swiggy.

I think in the India , they have notion of CTC. I don't know much about it probably not same as TC like in USA.

Microsoft mhfhhdjs Oct 11, 2019

Haha. INR is going down in the toilet. That's whats happening.

Amazon 💲|| 👋👉 Sep 28, 2018

Yep salaries after tax in India are higher. There is much more competition for the talent pool from the indian giants these days

Amazon vanc? Sep 28, 2018

Amazon India pays 80 lakhs (50 base + 30 stocks) for newly promoted SDE3s. External hire can bargain for more.

Amazon ऐमज़ॉन Sep 28, 2018

Seriously?

Amazon vanc? Sep 28, 2018

I saw PCP of my friend who got promoted few months back :)
