Reality Check
TLDR
Bangalore salaries look low in USD but stretch far locally. A senior dev earning 40-50 LPA lives extremely well. The gap with US remote pay creates retention challenges.
How to Earn More
- 1.Master distributed systems — this is what separates senior from staff
- 2.Learn infrastructure as code — backend devs who can also do DevOps are rare and expensive
- 3.Specialize in high-throughput systems — fintech and ad tech pay top dollar for this
