Yoe * 10

Thank you for your response. Do you think there would be a difference of ideal TC between managerial/technical pathways for 15 yoe?

Microsoft mlm_man Apr 18

If you area seasoned applied science manager(history of managing teams putting Deep learning models into prod) then you can command anything, A data science manager with experience of managing teams like Churn model etc or predictive analytics should expect okayish tc.

Mine is 58 LPA for 6YOE. Though it appears that the market standard is higher these days for decent folks.

Microsoft mlm_man Apr 22

Higher like?

The digital arm of a Kota based JEE institute is offering 90+ (75 Fixed+15 Variable+ ESOPs). My friends at Atlassian are also getting 90+ in base+RSUs (though they are SDEs). I'd say the good 6YOE folks can easily target 75+ even in the current market.

At 9.5 YOE my TC is 95 LPA-1 Cr (Fluctuates because of stocks). I am considering a switch and post that I hope to make 1.3-1.5 Cr. With my YOE I am looking at Senior role. Staff looks a bit far fetched right now but aftr 12+ YOE I will probably try for staff. In that scenario I hope to make 1.5 Cr-2 Cr.

Are you an Applied scientist/MLE?

@Uber: What level are you at Uber? Uber senior engineer can easily pay 1.3 cr.

Nice thread, I'm 5 YOE, 50-56 LPA, by 6-6.5 YOE, I'd expect a promotion, ~ 62-68 LPA.

@OP can you give the breakup of your CTC. What is based, AB, and shares?

Tesco curiousz OP Apr 24

What I’ve mentioned is all fixed. We don’t have any stocks and no certain bonus payouts at my level.

Fidelity Investments Rsly85 Apr 24

Woah!! What level is that?
