Hi Community, joined today and my first post here. I have been in program management discipline (Pgm/TPM) for close to 12 years now with some of the top product companies (MSFT, FB etc), currently operating at Principal level at Facebook (in US). While I have been in "thinking for sometime" mode on moving back to APAC (India/SGP), but finally things are getting serious and I am willing to move for a suitable opportunity. 2 questions -
1. Some threads seem to indicate 1cr+ annual comp is achievable for India given the compensation parity between India and US at higher levels (and some formulas on divide by 2 or 3 the current US comp). Curious to understand what to expect for TC for my profile (ideally with breakup on Base, Bonus, Equity) for India and SGP.
2. Suitable levels to target for say MSFT, Goog (and some current top IN employers you recommend).
TC - 352k

Please note that the numbers like this is still very minute proportion of overall ecosystem. Also, before you feel sentimental about India, please spend a month or so living in Bangalore. After all the progress, things have actually gone downhill. There is serious water scarcity. Air quality has degraded to a level where Unhealthy is the new norm. And majority of food is adulterated.
My advice will be to look for Singapore roles.
50-60 lakhs including stocks would be easy target with most companies offering such range for Director level profile. Select few would take it to 80 lakhs. For 1 Cr, you will need to be incredibly lucky.
After tax is almost the same.
