I currently work at Salesforce in Bay Area. I am working here after my masters for 4.5 years. I am up for a promotion to LMTS in 2 of months and TC should be around 285-295K (Current TC ~265K) Since the time I left India in 2014, things seem to have really changed in the last few years and TCs seem to have increased a lot, from reading Blind. And in all honesty, TC is the only thing keeping me in the US, or was. I am thinking of finding positions in Salesforce India or interviewing at other companies and move back. I want to know how are the salaries for Salesforce LMTS/Google L4-L5/FB IC4-IC5 in India. I am thinking if I can make anything more than 70 lacs in India, there is no incentive for me to be in the US and worry about visa or any other thing for that matter. Is 70 lacs+ something possible for 5 yoe?
Yes, possible for LMTS. I think salesforce lmts salaries in india maps to l4-l5 in Google India. There’s no office for facebook in India. Salesforce is the only company in which you can move to LMTS quickly. In google and amazon, L5 and L6 are very difficult to reach. This is a very interesting post and would like to see other’s opinion.
Thank you very much for the details!!
Amazon L6 range is from 70L to 1.2 Cr
That’s awesome. Thank you for the info!
not sure, if they would consider L6 at 5 Yoe
Uber's external L5A offers start over 70.
how about L5B ? I have 9 YOE, is it possible to get a shot at 5b ?
Thank you for the info!
I haven't seen L5 at G with 5 yoe, but that doesn't mean it's not possible, just rare, depends on interview performance the level and company you are coming from. 70L for an L4 is mostly top of the band but possible, median would be around 60L. Try to get into G here and then transfer to India after an year, you get to keep your initial stock grant too..
Thanks a lot! That’s an awesome suggestion. If you get to keep the initial stock grant, I guess that would boost the TC in India. Thanks again!
Excellent thread @XHLi41. Thanks for starting! I am in a similar situation as you thinking of moving back to India. Wondering if you did explore any option mentioned here or got any other info!!
Wait.. Is there an FB engineering center in India?
I don’t know. Want to know if there is and how are the salaries
There is no FB engineering in India. Only media and partnerships
