Hey y'all,
I'm a T shaped Engineer with specialisation in MLOps/Devops at a hardware+software stealth start up.
Experienced in full stack, ML deployments, AWS, Kubernetes, Python, Kotlin and handling scale.
On paper YoE: 8+ 3 years was with family business ( in tech), so if that is ignored 5+ YoE across the board in ML.
The perks I get are work life balance and unlimited leaves and leaves compensation if any public holiday falls on a weekend.
Currently being paid 32lpa base, no variables.
I'm confused if this is good pay since I have a varied set of skills. The company has spoiled me by making me "time rich" so I don't feel like leaving. (Especially since I was burnt out when I desperately left and joined the current place)
I know friends who do just backend getting paid 45 lpa but with no work life balance. And often times in discussions with them I feel like I can do their job easily (because of the varied skillset).
I'm Fortunate enough to be in a place that did salary corrections even though other companies are laying off and appraisals are incoming in Q1.
I'm confused, what's a good number that I deserve?
Don’t want my advise to sound generic, but if you’re happy in these times with the role and pay you’ve then you shouldn’t be switching.
Market is bad and insane hikes were thing of the past.
If you’re optimizing for higher ctc then you’ll have to give up on some amazing perks you’ve.
Definitely not generic! And thanks for highlighting the "happy" factor.
I'm definitely happy here!
Kinda okay with my current pay. But I wasn't sure if it's normal to trade work life balance for Pay.
The main question is, since I won't get a raise until next year; should I keep a target number in mind and try to ask for that?
Or
given the current market situation just take what I get and be grateful for even getting a raise.

Hi Everyone, I wanted to get some insights..
Do you think a TL with 6 years of experience in Golang earning 30LPA(fixed) + 3(variable) is being underpaid?
