How accurate are the salary numbers shown on this page?

Salary bands are indicative ranges sourced from publicly-available data (Glassdoor, AmbitionBox, LinkedIn Salary Insights, levels.fyi) as of late 2025. Actual offers vary by role, level, location, and individual negotiation. Use the bands as a starting reference; verify with the company's recruiter or platforms like levels.fyi for tech roles.

Should I optimise for product MNC, Indian startup, or services?

Product MNCs — highest pay, best benefits, slower growth in role. Indian product startups — strong equity upside, faster growth, higher risk, intense work culture. Services — most stable, broader career, lower pay, easier work-life balance. Best choice depends on whether you want stability, learning, or equity wealth.
