| 3–5 years | 7–14 LPA |
| 5–8 years | 11–20 LPA |
City and remote notes
- Bengaluru (BLR): product/GCC often +10–20% vs national mid
- Hyderabad (HYD): GCC mix; can approach BLR for same MNC
- NCR (Delhi NCR): wide spread — product upper band reachable
- Pune: product slightly below BLR peak
- Remote (India): India-remote product can match tier-1 with proof
Negotiation tip
Campus vs lateral TA differ — negotiate title and scope when JD mixes both; employer brand work without pipeline metrics will not move base much.
