Very much underpaid with respective to your experience. But you had to upskill to get more in this IT world.

PHP is almost dead. Upskill with some trending tech like Golang/NodeJS/Python and in any database like SQL or NoSQL.

Putting your experience and learning new technology should not be hard. It's a same old wine in new bottle, you should be able to ramp up quickly. Then take interviews switch.

Doing this you can get decent , average salary as other folks

This is the best advice OP - you are underpaid but even with some amount of upskilling, you can start making much more money!

uplifting

Your CTC should be atleast in the range of 25-30 LPA.

But it requires additional skillset. Not just experience.

PHP is not used to build Enterprise projects as a result Clients are generally small and medium businesses and because it is easy to learn hell lot of people are available as a result Demand and Supply.. If you are working as a web developer make sure you are aware of latest technology trends. These days React is very hirable, where in IT companies paying a lot even more than Java folks.

If you're good in problem solving and get into product based, that is not a necessity but will still be appreciated.

Not getting compensated as per market standard is not that bad. It's just you're making your employer earn well instead of yourself.

Need advice. Am in the middle of parental leave right now and my spouse and I are on the brink of divorce. Have only this 1 kid. Spouse doesn’t work yet, but can with earning potential around $50k.

How will custody work in that case? I want joint, but how do I take care of him alone with this job in the meantime?

Fellow fishes, an observation. What explains the sudden rise in salaries in new hires.
In 2017/8, $/₹ was 65. Today it's at 80. That's a 20% depreciation over 2017/8 levels. Now, between then and now, salaries may have been corrected 50%. Factor in inflation, and you will see that the hike is just about 20% over a 4 time period. Doesn't seem like big number anymore.

Could you please suggest me how can I come out of this fear. I am afraid of taking lead role because of below things.

2. Had to attend every requirement call and as well as technical review calls. (When BA is not good, need to provide acceptance criteria points).
3. Providing and justifying resource/work estimates.
