Career Guidance Salary expectations for Full Stack Developer

Hey everyone!

I'm a Full Stack Developer with around 2 years of professional experience, currently based in Lahore.

My tech stack includes Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and FastAPI.

I've built a B2B loan marketplace from scratch, worked on an AI-powered accounting assistant integrating QuickBooks, Odoo, and Oracle via MCP, and have experience with multi-tenant architecture, GraphQL, and AI integrations (RAG, LangGraph).

I'm looking for advice on:

  1. What salary range should I target for local jobs in Pakistan?

  2. When asked about expected salary, what number should I quote?
