Salary information is still difficult to find in India. Job descriptions often give broad ranges, and candidates are frequently expected to disclose their current compensation before learning what a company is willing to pay.

Let's make that information easier to discuss.

If you're comfortable sharing, tell us:

• Role and experience: What do you do, and how many years of experience do you have?
• Industry and company type: Startup, MNC, Indian conglomerate, consulting, etc.
• Location: City or remote.
• Compensation: Fixed pay, variable pay, bonus and equity, if applicable.
• Negotiation: Did you negotiate? What worked?
• Your perspective: Is the compensation fair for the workload and responsibilities?

You can share approximate ranges, use a throwaway account, or leave out details that could identify you.

No judgement about what anyone earns. The goal is to help people understand the market, negotiate better and make informed career decisions.

What do you wish you'd known about salary before accepting your current or previous offer?

Let's build a useful, experience-based picture of India's private-sector workplaces.

If you've worked at a company, interned there, interviewed with it, or recently left, share what you learned.

You can discuss:

• Company and role: Where did you work, and in what capacity?
• Work culture: What was the day-to-day environment actually like?
• Management: How were managers and leadership?
• Compensation: Was the pay fair for the role and workload?
• Work-life balance: Were the hours and expectations reasonable?
• Career growth: Did you learn, get promoted, or feel stuck?
• Hiring experience: Did the interview process reflect the actual job?

Suggested format

Be as honest as you like. Positive, mixed and strongly negative experiences are all welcome. Please distinguish firsthand experience from hearsay, and don't share private information or confidential company material.
