Let's table this discussion so we can do a deep dive analysis on the due diligence performed on the work product to identify all low hanging fruit which is most impactful leadership and then circle back/touch base with the project team who has the bandwidth to implement changes which will take the work product to the next level in order to provide the most value-add and move the needle.

Is there a disparity between the SWE TC AND NETWORK ENGINEER TC? I see that SWEs with 2YOE in Google get TC ~45L INR.
However, It was told that 30L INR would be the highest possible value for a network engineer role with 2YOE. Is that a low-ball or is that how the market scenario is?
How much salary can one expect/negotiate as a L3 NETWORK ENGINEER in Google? YOE: 2 CURRENT TC: 22L INR

Please advice!!!
