My somewhat complete salary history as a software engineer
I am a brown male working in India. The salaries are rounded to the nearest 100000 INR. USD values are rounded to the nearest 1000 USD. These are salaries <i>per year</i>. Need to emphasize this because when you see numbers like 3000 USD you may think this is per month. No it is indeed 3000 USD per year. When there are stocks involved, only the stocks that vest per year is included as part of the yearly salary.<p><pre><code>  2003 -  0 YOE -  200000 INR (  3000 USD) - Software Engineer  - One of the very popular Indian IT firms
