Lowballed “Engineer” and it’s been worst choice Joining as engineer

I have joined Qualcomm when I was at 2yoe.

offered 20Lpa as base, 1L bonus, 1L relocation, 16K stocks, 8% of base as perf bonus.

Now, my friend joined qualcomm at 2yrs 4months exp and got 28Lpa as base with senior engineer, 30K stocks, 5L joining bonus.

The gap is just 6months. And there is huge difference in pay.

In AR26, I am expecting promotion. I will have 1yr 6months of Qualcomm exp by Nov & I am top performer in our team (I got to know this somehow). But I’m fully skeptical.

Even with promo, I won’t reach 28Lpa base.

Without promo, max I will reach to 22Lpa

How much Can I expect in AR26 hikes?

I feel to give up this painful life 😭

Hi everyone, 25F, Hyderabad

“myquals” = Btech, IIIT Nuzvid, Civil Engineer, 2023 graduate

I’m a civil engineer with 3 years of experience, and honestly, I’m exhausted.
For the past 3 years, I’ve been working a 6-day work week.

By the time I get home, I barely have the energy to do basic household chores, spend time with my family, or even enjoy my evenings.

Sundays are mostly spent recovering from the week’s exhaustion, and before I know it, it’s Monday again.

I’m currently working at one of largest construction company in India - MEIL (company worth of 67,000/- acquired most of Hyd contracts). Paying 23K/month for 3 yoe. I feel so exhausted and not even satisfied with the pay and the worst night mare is 3months notice period even if I want to switch, nobody is accepting 3 months NP. If I negotiate it to 1 month, I have to pay two months salary.

Even for 3 years, I have literally no savings. Literally, I’m scared about my future. My future is dark. 😭

If I confront this with my manager, they’ll give solution as leave the company.

Is this just the reality of the civil engineering industry in India?

Why Indian labour laws not created to maintain WLB?

We’re humans, if this isn’t human exploitation then what it is?

When will this stop? Almost all the countries are adopting 5days work week..

I badly want to switch the job. I’m ready to accept lesser pay but still other companies are also asking for 6day work week.

We’re humans, not machines just to improve someone’s empire.

Has Qualcomm interviews become so easy? (hyd/Bng)

I am seeing so many new hires onboarding lately in Qualcomm.

In hyd, it’s same just asking if the Qualcomm changed their selection process or the interviews have become easy? Some even working in tier 3 companies got the interview call.

But getting into AMD/Nvidia is quite challenging
