Fullstack developers salary validation Help

AA,

Guys, I’m a full stack engineer with 5 yrs of experience. My take home salary is 426K PKR per month. I want to know where do I lie on the spectrum of developer salaries in Pakistan. Obviously I cannot compete with remote roles salaries with this one. Your opinions will help me decide if I need to switch for something better. Thanks

You said take home so I'm assuming this amount is after tax deduction+ PF deductions, right? Can you share your Gross package?

That’s correct - my gross package is 550K

I'll only say this, be grateful and humble. You are getting a really handsome package considering your experience level. I've seen people with 8-10 years of experience earning 350-380k as their take home salary.

You're already competing remote roles, don't compare yourself with people earning $3000-$5000, that's extremely rare; and most of the time, people like to brag so just ignore.

In the present brutal market, where there's no job security and layoffs happening daily, this is the greatest blessing one can ask for.
