Hi, I’m a backend developer (node/java) with 7 yoe, currently I’m getting 26lpa as fixed. Due to some unexpected personal issues and commitments I going through a financially difficult phase, I hope moving to 45lpa will help me to fix the situation. But I just want to know that company pays this much for 7yoe? Am I over aiming at this stage? How difficult is the journey to reach this level? Looking for some suggestions/tips/motivation. TIA

Difficult but not impossible.
You can certainly reach upto 35+ LPA with this experience but to cross that... You may need lot of counter offers.

I was at 20 LPA fixed and to land upto 32 fixed - I had to take 6 counter offers.

First accepted offer of 25, then 27 then 29 fixed and then there was a pause for 2 months untill last 10 days of Notice period. Your value suddenly increases in last 2 weeks of Notice period cause you are immediately available to join now.

This is the time when you can take a bigger jump.

Always remember - Don't tell the next company how much counter offers you have.
Always tell that you have just 1 offer and that is the maximum offer. For e.g: Tell you have 29 LPA offer only when the next company is willing to give you above that. Don't tell about 27 and 25 LPA offer - this weakens their trust in you cause it gives them a clear idea that you are doing offer hopping.

Also, if they ask you why you are not satisfied with the previous offer - Just tell them clearly a reason which they can't argue back like - The offer location is Hyderabad but I am looking for Pune etc OR they are telling me to work on 5 pm to 1 am shift - which is a concern for me.

Hope you land a good offer.
You will cross 35 for sure. 40 also possible with counter offers - above 40 with just 7 YOE, you will need luck. So best of luck

A few young partners and counsel at my firm were discussing the student loan moratorium and most of us were convinced we could have paid the majority of our loans off with the bonuses associates got these last two years. But we are all old and when we graduated 150k to 200k was about the max student loan debt people graduated with. So educate me. What is the average student loan debt these days?
