Salary after 3 YOE

Completed 3 years last month and had a final review with my manager today.

New CTC: 18F + 2V + 2B

I work as a Senior Engineer here and have experience with all the technologies they use, from AWS to React, React Native, and Ruby.

The work-life balance is great, and I get ample free time with family and friends. However, after 3 years, I feel I’m being underpaid. Should I look for a higher package?

A thumb rule, your YOE x 4 or YOE x 5 is a good pay. Don't sacrifice your great WLB for some khujli

not for early career, anything below yoe x 8 TC qualifies for below poverty line

The simplest way to know if you are underpaid is to apply with your skills outside. You are worth whatever someone is willing to pay you outside. As simple as that.

I personally don't believe in YoE as a Metric to how much you can earn. I believe you earn proportionate to the impact you create for the company
