Showcase your cybersecurity experience of five years. Highlight more on secure code review in your development experience (first 2 years)

You can expect a minimum of 20 Lacs maximum 30 lacs. You will mostly get 14-15 lacs as the first offer, and as notice period comes towards the end you will get 20 comfortably.

Also market yourself while negotiating the offer, like you will get 13 lacs as per standard in near appraisal and you're looking more on that.

Some Indian companies will negotiate on every penny and HRs may try to close the deal with 30% on your existing salary, decline those offers telling them that the market is good for cybersecurity my many friends have got 100% hike so I won't be accepting 30%.

And then look for the US, Europe based product companies which actually offer good CTC

15 to 20 is achievable. 30 is too far even if it's product based.

15-20LPA
