Assuming he is from India, there might not be a translation to a high income job. Salaries in India frequently follow a %age increase in the last role, regardless of the position they are hiring for. There are some exceptions, like the global cos which would pay according to job, and some startups which would have salary bands, but mostly, its about how much can we increase from the last role.

- ankit219 8y agoBased on this. > However, to me, it’s dubious how many startup successes, especially in India, have been great for, say, 20th to 50th engineer at those companies. Swiggys, Olas and Paytms of the country are infamous for not giving good (or any, these days) equity to engineers. I wasnt sure, hence stated the assumption. Did not want it to come across as a prejudice. Apologies if it did.
- yitianjian 8y agoThe article talks specifically about Indian startups, so I think it's a fair assumption
