I am just curious to know how much do companies like Amazon , Flipkart , Walmart , PayPal, Google etc pay in Bangalore for a Senior software Engineer having 6 to 7 years of experience and Masters in CS ?
How are the interviews like , is it leetcode just like here or are they different? I know Managers and above get paid well but not too sure about the engineers. I know there are also a ton of startups apart from the big names who are doing pretty well .
Bangalore is one of the most expensive cities in India so I want to know for a decent standard of living what do these companies offer?
I am just one of those immigrants who at the back of my mind have a thought of moving back to my home county for whatever reasons .

    Just curious, about the "whatever reasons".
    Life is obviously better in the Bay Area than Bangalore.
    So, Why would you want to move back unless you have to (like taking care of family).

      Couple of things to note:
      Bangalore Metro is going great guns , commute is a lesser problem in few areas. In few years it will reach ORR.
      My friends in India take lots of regular vacations - Thailand / Bali / Maldives / even Europe etc

    50LPA atleast. There are other players too like Stripe, LinkedIn, BigBasket, Myntra, Apple.
    If Bangalore is costly then how about Gurgaon and Mumbai?

    Best option would be to join a company in Bay Area (which has a branch in India) and get RSU in dollars. Then relocate to India after a year or so, and keep getting the same RSUs (only the base changes to reflect cost of living). This will drive your salary for next ~3 years to at least a crore / year

      Don't think going back to Bay Area will be easy once back. Won't the old visa expire ?

      Going back with same company should not be tough. Also, going back on L1A can solve GC woes

      I doubt school matters at SDE3 level. All other factors like experience, previous company, projects, domain knowledge and negotiating matter
