    it all depends on your skills kelle
    within 3 years of experience try to reach at least of 300k, demand your self!
    starting salary would be around 30 to 45k

    Can go for a starting salary around 120 to 150 if you are from a reputed uni. By 5 years , you can get 300 to 400, if you perform well. Depends on the company as well.

    I started my career in 2011 as an ASE with a starting salary of 45 k (SE got paid 55K)
    after 3 years 120K
    joined to another company after in 3.5 years 121K ( was wanted to get rid of my first company )
    after 5 years 150K (my 2nd company is famous for low salary increments) :-(
    after 9.5 years (6 years at my 2nd company) I left - last salary was round 210K :-(
    joined a new comapny and still in probation period... now it's almost 10 years since I joined the industry - 230K :-(

    nowdays my first company recruite fresh garduates for around 220K :yes:

    got several higher salary offers from time to time, but not from reputed companies (some company was willing to pay 350K 2-3 years back but was not willing pay EPF ). so I did not considered to join.
