50 LPA is a good package for any age group to live a comfortable life in India, until your greed is hurting your ego. Then it’s a different story altogether.

Just to make this more objective, maybe the question should be - what's the average salary of people in this group who are around 40 years of age (very small sample size Ig but still)?

like

Is 50 full fixed or it includes variable or rsu?

I wonder who is giving 50LPA to you because even at 39 age you are not able to figure out what is good for you..Then how will you take decisions in your job!!!

I am 31 and earning 62k per month, but no complaints and living my life happily. Calm down buddy..you are still richer than 95% of Indians!

@Author..

It doesn't matter what you earn..it matters how you live and how you want to live.

If you don't live as you wish, then everyday might seem a drag or a bore (obviously you live within ethical and legal constraints)

Now bringing in some comparisons:

If you are a Software professional your CTC is quite high (top 10% or even rarer)

If you are a marketing professional (with 2 degrees) event then your CTC is quite good for a 12-14 YOE by Indian pay scale

Grade A govt officers also usually don't enjoy a 50 lakh p.a. CTC (even with their benefits allotted) at your age band.

So be grateful and make decisions of how you want to live

Cheers!

All you guys having a meltdown - I'm not looking for validation or life lessons, I just wanted to know what's the average range in this group. Call it benchmarking, call it survey. But given the responses I just think there aren't enough people in this age bracket in this group

like

I am in the same age group and same salary bracket and I can say no salary is enough unless you have huge savings/investments. All that matters is how much wealth you have built over the years. I have been pretty bad with personal finance and slowly started understanding the value of it (not quite there yet).
I would assume your salary to be a good salary from avg career progression perspective but low if you compare with high achievers. However you are earning decent my friend.

Salary is function of Skill ,
So if you are in any service company 50 LPA means partner level Position, hard to grow
if you take mid product size, age of 40 around people make 60 to 80 LPA
if you take big product (tech ones) 1.5 CR plus is also possible
if its startup - no idea
Considering you are pro in your job, can manage multiple roles with ease, good with tech, solutioning, stakeholder mangement and deliverables at same time

Such kind of comments and retort create Fomo in SM.

EVERYONE here should realise that if the OP gets 50 lpa then he or she is bringing revenue/valuation /sale of atleast 8-10x that .
So either he is working in a high arbitrage product/service or his account size is in million of dollars yearly.

Those who can reach at ch a profile can demand such or more CTC and those who can't ...well can only aspire for now
