Gave interview in TCS, it went pretty well. At the end, the tech interviewer asked my expected ctc. After mentioning as 27lpa, he asked if can be negotiated, told yes.
After that didn't get any feedback, its been around 5days.
Is 27lpa too much fr tcs? 🤔

160k total, 4y exp
As you said, it’s a huge range, depending on the type of fund, city, and level of skill of the engineer. US$200-600k would cover most cases.
Hedge funds pay more than FAANGs at the top.
I think software engineers in general have a massive range. There are guys getting 80k working for defense contractors after a few years and barely touching 100k after 5. Meanwhile a few years into a hedge fund could get you 150k, or 200k total comp.
If you’re on the quantitative strategy or HFT engineering side im thinking thats where you may see those total salaries reaching into the 3s and 4s, stacking up with FAANG.
I dont think many front office guys in ex post analytics and data engineering make 600k or anything close to it without having some serious leverage in negotiation..
Its unfortunately really hard to negotiate salary when you had no clue what to ask for, and the insane ranges don’t help anybody.
£120k 2y exp, not in London.
