- vostok 10y agoIndia has huge inequality among software engineers. While $5400 is possible, but 35 lpa (and more), about 10x that number, is also possible for someone who is not exceptional.
- xyzzy4 10y agoShe has just accepted a new job that'll start soon, so she'll hopefully make some more. She is requesting 4 lakhs per year (~$6000 dollars) but doesn't know if it'll be that yet.
- areyousure 10y agoFor anyone else who doesn't easily process abbreviations from Indian English, "LPA" stands for lakhs per annum. A lakh is 100,000 and the implied currency is INR = Indian rupee. As such, 35 lpa = 3.5 million INR/year ~ $52,600/year at present forex exchange rates (PPP value is another story).
