I am currently working in Amazon India as a SDE-3. I am thinking to move abroad (specifically Europe) for a few years. What are the top paying companies and total TC that I can expect?
Europe ist not a homogeneous area salary-wise, so depends on where you would want to move exactly, a lot.
Levels in India are at least one level below the US. They're just handed out in India.
As an Amazon SDE3 in India, you are probably earning >= (or at least saving >=) 80-90% devs in Europe. I would say live in Europe for the experience, but don't expect massive hike in TC. That being said Google in Switzerland, London or Munich, FB London & Uber Amsterdam are probably the highest payers. Along with some fintech/trading houses in London. Have you thought about internal transfer?
Salaries in London and Munich are a joke, particularly London compared to the CoL.
OP, share how much usd you save per year
OP can you give us a rough figure of TC as Sde 3 in India ? Not much sde 3 data here
I have heard it ranges from 70L-1+ crore.
I am currently earning 85L. I work out of India. TC: INR 85L = ~$ 120K After Tax: 60L = ~$ 85K Savings: 40L = ~$ 57K
Google, FB, Apple at Zurich will pay quite a bit above your TC in India but cost of living is much higher too. FB and Apple at Zurich are for very specialized roles in computer vision related areas. Salaries in London for Google, FB are much lower than Zurich; not sure about Munich but I donât think it will be close to Zurich salaries. Snap has an office in London and they pay quite well (similar base as in California but less stocks); other than that FinTech companies in London will pay very well too.
Snap pays shit at UK, base is much lower with only 1/3 stocks
How does Indian sde-3 will match to us levels? I have heard they are different.
