Career and Comp Check

Question

I have been in the industry for 7.5 years now. Haven't made any switch yet.

Working as engineer at senior level equivalent to SDE 3.

Hoping to get promoted to next level ( Team lead) in next 3 months or so.

Current comp

Fixed pay $48400

Annual bonus $4800

Stock grant(vested) $5000 Per year for next 3 years.

Location : India

Have I had a good growth and is it a fair comp ?

Which company are you working for?

I don't think it's a fair comp looking at the years of experience you have had. From what I had learnt in a very short span of experience compared to yours is that companies keep parity of pay between people who have been drawn in from outside rather than who work inside. Now looking at your level as SDE3 and you are due for a promotion tells the fact that your career growth has been very much above the average. Two sides of the coin you get the designation when you stay longer you get paid better when you switch. Some people get both without switching too. You just have to be smart and lucky I guess
