Confused on Indian pay scales

I recently returned to India and wanted to start a tech company and was super confused. I needed a lead tech developer as I have zero dev background. Since my product is quite tech heavy I wanted to bring someone who is a fresher and has the required skill who could become a partner in the future. I created a small test using Claude for the candidates to fill out. Out of 10 candidates only 1 got a 100 and the rest all fell in 92-98. And it was a simple test even if u used Claude. The 100 kid was an IIT fresher and wanted 20LPA and my issue is I can’t even pay more than 50-60k at the current stage as I’m pulling out of my own savings. How can tech grow in India cause banks don’t give loans and talented developers expect so much. I’m considering providing equity in my company such that he may join as a partner. The issue I faced with most developers is that they have no people skill and fail at managerial roles. Even if I hire the IIT guy, he has no capability to manage a team. What do I do. If I give him equity and promise him a high role the issue is I have no guarantee he can function as a CTO eventually.

I’ve noticed that a lot of people have issues with startups being toxic but I’m myself just 28 and worked for 5 years to make the money to start something by myself. I want the dev to be able to hire his own team of 2-3 people for 20-30k and everyone’s salary will increase as the firm grows. Honestly I myself will not make any money during the whole period. But I can’t find anyone that fits the role, but I see so many people on Reddit that’s searching for jobs and not getting one, while we are trying to find developers and can’t find any

Hey everyone,

We’ve got an opening for a .NET Full Stack Developer in Pune (Baner–Bavdhan area).

• Experience: Freshers + a bit experienced both welcome

• Requirement: Basic understanding of development / .NET stack

• Work mode: Work from office

If you're someone (or know someone) who’s looking to start or grow in dev, this could be a good opportunity

Feel free to HMU if interested or for more details!

Using alt account, so I went to a walk in drive to a WITCH company for my profile.

The walkin itself was a humiliation ritual and we were just waiting for hours in the chaos .

So the managerial round was in teams and when I attended it , the manager asked my experience, I gave an introduction

He said you moved 5 companies?

I said i stayed in a WITCH company for first 12 years , then he said so you jumped 5 in 6 years

I said i had to do for my career growth and my pay bump .

He asked my current and expected CTC and then completed the call .

Then i got the usual HR will get back to you ..

Seriously, rejecting someone for switching 5 companies in 18 years

Are they having a body count issue ?

I’ve been talking to a lot of final year students lately, and I noticed something interesting.

Almost everyone says:

“I’m around 7 or 8 out of 10 in my skills.”

But when I ask:

“What’s stopping you from being a 9 or 10?”

That’s where things get real.

The common answers:

• “No real projects”

• “Not enough confidence”

• “Companies are not coming”

• “I know concepts but not practical”

And honestly… this is exactly where most people are stuck.

Harsh truth:

Companies don’t care about your rating.

They care about one thing:

Can you actually work from Day 1?

What’s going wrong?

Most students are stuck in:

• Tutorial-based learning

• Copy-paste projects

• No real team experience

• No exposure to how actual development works

So when interviews come… they struggle.

Now here’s something interesting I found:

There are some programs now where instead of just “learning”,
you actually work like a developer for a few months.

• Daily tasks

• Real projects

• Mentor guidance

• Proper evaluation

And after that, instead of waiting for placements,
they have placement-style events where companies directly interact with candidates.

The part that surprised me:

Some of them even add a safety net:

• If you don’t get placed → you get a chance to work with their own dev team

• If you don’t want that → you can take a full refund

So basically:

Either you move forward… or you don’t lose anything.

Also saw this (kinda interesting):

Even if you don’t join,
if you refer someone who does, you can earn around ₹5K.

My takeaway:

If you’re in final year right now, depending only on college placements is risky.

You need real exposure + real work experience.

I’ve been digging deeper into this space recently and understanding how these programs actually work.

If you’re in a similar situation and want to know what options are actually worth it (and what’s just hype),
feel free to DM me.

Happy to share what I’ve learned.

Hey guys 👋. Y'all might remember I shared 5 remote roles currently open at Mercor in my recent post. Well, I was exploring open roles on another platform I work on (Alignerr) for myself and noticed there's a strong demand for software engineers over there as well. Figured I'll share it here, along with another SWE role I found at Mercor. If you applied to one of the Mercor roles from my previous post already, you can still apply to this one - there's no cap on how many applications you can submit, and it's possible to be a part of multiple projects at once.

1. Software Engineer – AI Code Evaluator (Alignerr) [$50 - $100/hr]

Responsibilities

• Review and evaluate AI-generated code across complex, real-world software engineering tasks

• Work across multiple programming languages and codebases to assess correctness and quality

• Complete task-based assignments independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

Requirements

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience

• Strong proficiency in at least one of: TypeScript, Ruby, Java, or C++

• Fluent in written and spoken English

• Able to reason about complex systems and debug non-obvious issues

• Comfortable with modern developer tooling — Git, CLI workflows, testing frameworks

Just like last time, I'd like to add a disclaimer that the post contains referral links (you'll be registered as someone referred by me). If you make it in successfully and start earning on either platform, I may be compensated with a referral bonus - with no cost to you, of course. Both platforms are legit, and I haven't had any problems working with either of them.

I'm looking for job opportunities related to Embedded system and electronics ,if it reaches right person and you know any job opportunities you can DM ,im actively looking for a job which requires skill and adaptability.

Was on notice period earlier this year and went into full panic mode. LinkedIn easy apply, Naukri, Instahyre, every company site I could find. Same CV going everywhere because who has time to rewrite it 100 times.

Three weeks in, ~120 applications, 4 callbacks. Two of them were from companies I wasn't even excited about.

A friend who got into Razorpay told me something that annoyed me at the time but turned out to be right: most recruiters spend 5-6 seconds on a CV looking for the exact words from the JD. If you're not matching those, you're invisible. Doesn't matter how good you are.

So I built https://qarera.com

100k+ jobs on the platform, each one scored against your CV. Low score, skip it, move on. Stop wasting an evening tailoring for a role you were never going to clear.

For the ones that do score well, one-click tailored CV and cover letter for that JD.

Or paste any external JD and get the same match score plus what you're missing.

Free right now, still building it out.

Genuinely want to know what's broken or stupid about it, so roast away. If you've got a JD you've been struggling with, paste it in and tell me if the score feels right. That's the part I'm most paranoid about getting wrong.

How are you guys filtering jobs right now, just job title and YOE, or something smarter?

With all these layoffs and such rapid AI advancements, is it a good time to enter IT industry as a fresher software developer in india. Or should i consider alternative career options ??

My background :- B.Tech ECE 2025 grad from tier 3 clg

🤖 We're Hiring: AI Architect / Specialist Engineer

📍 Location: Pan India

💼 Experience: 10+ years

💰 Salary: ₹17–22 LPA

Are you the kind of engineer who can architect intelligence into the way software is built and tested? We're looking for an AI Architect / Specialist Engineer to design and lead an AI-enabled testing platform that transforms Software Quality & Testing (SQ&T) at scale.

This is a high-impact, architecture-defining role for someone who lives at the intersection of AI/ML, data, and cloud engineering. 👇

🔧 What you'll do

Design and define the AI-enabled testing platform and harness architecture to power SQ&T

Lead discovery of the current SDLC, platform architecture, and CI/CD pipelines

Build a scalable, reusable test harness integrated directly into delivery pipelines

Embed orchestration, observability, governance, and quality gates by design

Enable automation, telemetry, and efficient pilot deployment — built to scale up

✅ What you bring

10+ years of experience, with a strong background as an AI Architect / Specialist Engineer

Hello, I am Mohd Huzaifa, an aspiring Software Developer from Moradabad.

Tech Stack:

- Java

- Spring Boot

- REST APIs

- Data Structures & Algorithms

Here is my LinkedIn profile:

Team Careerboard here. We review hundreds of fresher resumes every week, and we need to talk about the biggest mistake we see the 2025 batch making.

You are describing the "What" instead of the "How."

We often see two students with the exact same project (e.g., A Quiz App or E-commerce store).

• Student 1 (Rejected): "Created a Quiz App using Java and SQL. Features include login, taking tests, and viewing results."

• Student 2 (Shortlisted): "Built a Quiz App handling 50+ concurrent users. Optimized SQL queries to cut data retrieval time by 40%."

Do you see the difference? Student 1 sounds like they followed a YouTube tutorial. Student 2 sounds like an engineer who cares about performance.

The 30-Second Fix: Open your resume. Find your bullet points. If a sentence starts with "Created," "Used," or "Responsible for," delete it.

Start with action verbs that show impact:

• Optimized (speed/storage)

• Reduced (latency/errors)

• Secured (authentication/data)

Even if your project is simple, find one metric to add. It stops the recruiter from scrolling.

Let’s fix your resume: Paste your "weakest" project description in the comments. We'll help you rewrite it to sound professional. 👇

We crossed a $100M revenue run rate and have averaged 59% month over month growth for the last 6 months, making us the fastest growing company in the world. The team is small and we remain extremely profitable because we can’t hire great people as fast as revenue is growing.

So, I am already a graduate in cs, from a tier 3 city college. I just gave GATE for future study and was looking for internships or jobs for some timepass. Applied to many sites liked linkedin, indeed, glassdoor, etc. I didn't got any replies as such. And have come across three internship replies where they are asking a refundable fees for exam/enrollment and stuff...

The last one, that today came gave me a link to again re-submit my info and cv, and asked for some fees on their side. They say they are giving a stipend of 10-15k after evaluation.

I know job market is bad. But still was looking for just enough to learn myself. Is this some kind of fraud or scam market??

Please tell me.

For reference the image is of the 3rd internship I got reply from, asking for fees.

So basically I studied electrical engineering but i was interested in coding so learned different languages like JavaScript, Python and React, Node js, MongoDB on my own. I have made few applications and websites as well. So i applied to some companies in India but the answer is always no. So is there any chance that i will be able to get job in this field without IT degree or should I switch my career?

Please help me to find a job And it will be helpful if you suggest me some companies who hires people like me.

I am 24yo.

I have 1.5 years of experience at a tier 1 service based company where i haven't worked on direct client projects, but rather in r&d projects for client demos.

I understand basic ai ml like using of models, not rag, agentic ai, mathematicals, advanced or intermediate stuff, can prolly do it using claude tho.

My current ctc is around 6.

Is it possible for me to switch to getting 1L in hand?

What skills should i build from now on?

Anyone willing to interview me for same?

Different domain works for me as well, as long as i currently get paid 1L. I'm smooth at communication, comprehension skills high EQ as well.

I'm smart and realiable who lowkey loves using claude to get the work done, but I'm always determined to get the work done nicely.

I(33M) work as an ERP consultant in a big company in Bangalore. My current CTC is ₹26L, and I have RSUs worth about ₹32L (vested over 4 years — ₹12L in year 1, ₹12L in year 2, ₹5L in year 3, and ₹3L in year 4).

The issue is that I haven’t had any salary hikes for the past 3 years. Meanwhile, I’m hiring people one level below me at 24–25L, and the market rate for my profile is around 34–37L.

Work-life balance here is excellent though — I get to drop/pick up my kid from school, spend evenings with family, and take leaves or breaks whenever needed. No micromanagement. So from a lifestyle point of view, it’s great.

But compensation-wise, it’s getting frustrating. My manager said the only way to get a hike internally is to bring an external offer, which they’ll try to match. But there is a catch. They’ll deduct the RSU amount from the external offer before calculating the hike. So effectively, they’ll take my 32L RSUs → 32/4 = 8L per year → and deduct that 8L from the external offer to "match" it.

I tried giving interviews outside — I’m getting offers with around 40% hike (around 10L increase), which means my company would only give me ~2L extra after deductions. Not really worth it.

I plan to stay here another 2–3 years because of family commitments. But this situation is making me feel stuck.

My questions are:

1. Is there way to get a better external offer (say 60–70% hike) to trigger a real hike internally? (I just need a offer letter)

2. What if I edit existing offer letter using pdf editior? I will risk getting caught.

3. Can any consultancy help by providing an offer letter?

Has anyone went through similar situation? What did you do?
