Hello folks! I’m currently based in Europe (specifically Sweden) and have been fascinated by India for years. The nation seems like an emerging tech powerhouse, and I’m really interested in understanding the actual work culture there.
I recently received a job offer for a React developer role in India. I have about 6 years of professional experience, and they’re offering approximately ₹35,000 per month.
I’d appreciate your honest feedback on a few things:
- Does this salary seem reasonable for a frontend developer with my experience level?
- What’s the current market like for software developers? Is the work environment decent?
I’m hoping to get some genuine insights from developers who are currently working in India.
Would it be crazy to leave Europe for this opportunity in India?
woah, that salary’s pretty low for 6 years experience. what city is this for? mumbai/bangalore would be way different than smaller towns. also curious - why india specifically? have you visited before or is it just the tech scene?
That salary’s way too low for your experience. React devs with 6 years in major Indian tech cities usually make ₹80k-₹1.5L per month, depending on the company and location. Moving from Sweden’s tech scene to India for that amount would be a huge financial step backwards, even with lower costs of living. India’s tech market is booming with tons of opportunities, but this offer screams that they either don’t value international talent or they’re in a smaller city. I’d skip this one and look at established Indian tech companies or multinationals - they’ll offer packages that actually match your experience.
hey man, 35k is way too low for your level, honestly. even freshers are getting that much these days. with ur experience, aim for 80-100k for sure. don’t sell urself short - india’s tech scene is booming and skilled devs are in demand.
