With the effect of advancement in Technology, the Software Engineering industry has also grown rapidly and is one of the fastest growing industry in the world today. Such rapid growth in this field has created numerous job opportunities for the developers, fairly increasing the competition in the market. This growth has also impacted the tech-recruiting field as well and everyone is now looking to hire the best. With the demand in the increase of quality developers, companies have also increased the pay-scale of the role. The reputed American Business magazine
Forbes
has also published an article on “
How The Salaries Of Software Engineers Have Evolved Over The Past 20 Years
?
” To answer this, the magazine quoted an answer to this question by
Auren Hoffman
, Chairman of
Siftery
from
Quora
.

This analysis by Auren Hoffman seems to be correct for every part of the globe. The leaders in the market like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Flipkart have increased the pay of
entry-level
developers to around
35
Lakhs CTC
with the base salary of around
14-18
Lakhs per annum. You can see some of the salary reports from Glassdoor which reveals the actual figures about the pay-scale of some of these tech-giants.

However, the
average pay-scale
of developers does not appear to be that impressive.

The reason behind this is the lack of skills among emerging developers. According to a study by employability assessment company Aspiring Minds in 2017, only
4.77
percent of candidates can write the correct logic for a program — a minimum requirement for any programming job. Another survey shows that only
7
percent of the engineering graduates in India are suitable for core engineering jobs.
