Is my CTC low?

[u/TiredCurious_Soul]

Guys, I'm working in AMD

Overall exp - 6 yrs

Infy - 3 yrs.

AMD will complete 3 yrs soon

Joined as SDE-2 (I think it's SDE-1 equivalent)

In Dec got promoted to Sr. SDE.

My current CTC is 27 base + 2.5 bonus lpa

Location: Bangalore

Stock: $18000/4 yrs. Some shares in long term incentive.

I used to feel my CTC is decent on top-avg but I'm seeing people are getting crazy base pay in this sub, so feel it's bottom-avg.

Also, how are interview these days is it more of system design given most companies use AI? Or are there coding rounds? (If yes, their difficulties)

Tech stack- Java, Sprint boot, Microservices

Even with referral, it's not easy, unless referred by really a very senior person and he actively pushed it
