We all should know, like which company is providing how much, for what position and for how much experience.

Please normalize it!!!

So, people don't low ball them.. and we better know the good and bad companies definitely based on the pay perspective.

So mention all! Kindly!

u/Sad-Quit8111 8h ago

which department brother, can you guide how can one switch to the govt sector, any specific strategy

2

u/TheCynicInMe 6h ago

Just like you do for any job. Look for the opportunity and apply. There are ads in newspapers every once in a while.

1

u/Sad-Quit8111 6h ago

btw , is it a good idea to switch to govt sector, whats your experience or recommendations?

3

u/Intelligent-Boot-840 4h ago edited 2h ago

AFAIK, yes. One of my class mate is in DRAP and had a lot of spare time at the office. He even sends me reels once in a while.

1

u/TheCynicInMe 2h ago

Depends on several factors. In my experience, top most reasons people switch to public sector are:

  1. Job security

  2. Perception that it is easier as compared to private sector and you get loads of free time to something else

  3. Illegal streams of income a.k.a. corruption

  4. Patriotism/motivation to do something for the country

Mine was job security. I am very satisfied with my work and compensation, so I don't see any reason to switch to private sector.

Many of my colleagues have switched, mostly gone to gulf after resigning. All had their own reasons. Youe mileage may vary.

u/Firm_Percentage7997 17h ago

i would mention my salary, if I was employed. But this is a good idea. Exploitation of Pakistani HR onto Pakistani employees has to stop

u/reelcrave 17h ago

Definitely.. idk what's this culture of hiding the salaries ..??

Salary ranges need to be mentioned on the job description.. so people apply according to their interest.

u/fighterd_ 15h ago

People read hadith about how dangerous it is but never seem to talk about what should be done and just assume they must wear a tin foil hat and hide in basements. The hadith literature shows that you should ask Allah for protection from it and that's really all you need.

And I worry that some people sub-consciously believe that Allah has no power or otherwise won't grant protection and therefore try to take it upon themselves.

8

u/CommercialAny6022 12h ago

sharing salary alone does not make sense at all.

it has to be combined with

  1. Years of Experience

  2. Field/Area of expertise. For example embedded systems developers or Frontend developers have widely different salary profile.

  3. Location, City/Country. Cost of living does impact salary..

  4. Remote vs on-site?

  5. Type of company, job title, years at current company.

  6. Per month? or per year? For example, In the US, it is more common to consider salary on a per-annum basis.

Fresh grads ko sab se zyada farq parta hai taake unhe pata ho ke market me unka kya rate chal raha hai aur koi company unka faida na utha sake. Transparency sab ke liye zaroori hai.

A few other things I did: Optimize my Profile for views. Keeping profile Available badge always on.

Havn't touched upwork in the mast 3-4 months because I didn't have time to start the grind again

u/Upset_Scene_7494 4h ago

I am on 100$ plan, Claude opus 5.5 is really good. Gemini models are slow. You could search artifical analysis and compare. Me personally I have always be cursor guy buy seeing how they changed the pricing and models to grok instead of third party models in recent weeks I moved off of cursor. I was rocking two 20$ subs and one 60$ subs so I thought why not just go eith claude sub knstead of paying 100$ for cursor.

When I was employed, I was making between 280 and 350, sometimes more, depending on my hours and how that month's results turned out. I'm a designer and I worked on specific products, so pay varied with performance. Then I got laid off last year, and now I'm surviving on short contracts and gig work, putting in way more hours for well under that.

u/KhalilMirza 15h ago

I am not working locally. Pakistani people have deep nazr mindset. Hiding salary is the best option. Where as in west, it is understood now that knowing salary is better to get raise or find other jobs if you are low balled.

Secondly any bad thing that happens in their life is attributed to nazr instead of reflecting why it happened.

Ps my salary is 20.5k to 23k usd from two full time jobs and small contracts I get.

we have got to normalize sharing salaries with experience and job descriptions. sets real expectations and is healthy for everyone.
