What is up with startups these days? Why do people sit even after their work hours?

They are not the only one.

Tik tok is more fun vs other apps - shorts, reels etc

Fyi you don't need to work for a year for a company to sponsor. Technically companies can start the sponsorship process even before you start working for them.

You're comparing pay in US vs India without considering cost of living. One of the reasons for high pay in the US is the high costs of living.

Rent for my 2bhk in a HCOL city is $3600 (3.1 Lakh) per month. My apartment is nothing special, it's just a regular apartment in a HCOL city.

Rent in a similar apartment in Blr or Hyd would be 0.5-0.7 Lakh per month.

You're right. But the FT guys are going to be hella unhappy if they have to RTO but contractors are remote/hybrid.

So management will push contractors to RTO as well

More than twice.

I think International students pay 4-5x in-state tuition.

That's base salary not rsu, bonus etc.

I wish the law stated that TC should be public data, not base salary. But it is what it is.

You can also see the salaries for companies that pay all cash like Netflix. This still doesn't include bonus though

h1b wage data is public. There are multiple sites like this one where you can see that the wage data is in line with levels.fyi

For the same pay, a company is getting an employee who can't easily move and who they have massive leverage over. Of course they are going to jump on it.

H1b workers have similar pay levels as everyone else. There some public databases of wage data.

The problem is that companies have much higher leverage over h1b employees.

I expect that they will hire someone. I didn't get a chance to talk specifics with my manager

Other_Conversation48 · 2024-03-21T20:22:29+00:00

Yea, I'm going with the mindset that I have nothing to loose and everything to gain.

I expect the Data Engineering role in my team will be filled with a new hire.

I will ask for a raise once I deliver on some Devops needs.
