What should a person expect his salary from other company base on his 5+ years of experience in service sector companies. (Ex. Position as SPE, Present salary is 4.5 lac) Please advice.
Ans: Kishore Sir, Before addressing your questions, if time allows, I kindly suggest attending the complimentary webinars offered by Vikram Anand, Sakshi Chandrasekar, and Sawan Kapoor, who possess specialized expertise in Resume Building, Salary Negotiation Skills, and LinkedIn Profile Building. They offer a wealth of insights during their complimentary webinars, which can be extremely beneficial for refining your Resume/LinkedIn Profile and enhancing your Interview/Salary Negotiation Skills. You have the choice to decide whether to opt for their paid services.
Now coming to your question. Compensation expectations for individuals with five years of service sector experience are influenced by industry norms, location, talents, and firm. Industry norms suggest that mid-level jobs with five years of experience typically pay 30-50% of the current wage. Higher offers may be available for specific skills, certifications, or higher-paying industries. Location also plays a role, with higher salaries in urban areas and high-growth industries. Researching salary benchmarks and focusing on non-financial advantages can help negotiate better offers. The typical pay range is between 6-7 LPA for those with five years of experience.
All The BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Hello sir, I am 33years old and like to have a stable life with a good retirement corpus along with children education. I have 2 sons both are of 1 and 3years old respectively and my wife is a housewife. I am having FD of 16L, 10L in gold, bought a flat paying housing loan EMI of 25K, having term insurance for 1cr and health insurance for 4L. I am making investments in mutual funds SIP of 30k since last 1 year. Hdfc dividend yeild fund 1000 Icici bluechip fund 8000 Quant small cap fund 1000 Canara robecco small cap fund 1000 Uti nifty index fund 5000 Icici balanced advantage fund 5000 Jm flexicap fund 2000 Quant elss fund 5000 Parag pareekh flexicap fund 2000 Lumsum Investments Sbi healthcare fund 20K Quant infrastruture fund 10k Sbi magnum gilt fund 20k Plz advice....am i really doing good with these investments or shall i replan my investments....
Ans: Hello;

Having 12 funds(9 sip+3 lumpsum) in portfolio is not required.

You need to just 4 funds for your sip of 30 K(divided equally):
1. Flexicap fund
2. Large and midcap fund
3. Balanced advantage fund
4. Multi asset allocation fund

You may consider exiting the sectoral, thematic and debt fund owned by you and redeploy it in your regular funds.

This ensures equity(large cap oriented)is predominant asset class in your portfolio but it also has exposure to debt and gold for balance and risk mitigation.

Also keep a target to step up sip amount every year by 7-10% atleast.

This will go towards higher education provision for your kids. (~1.85 Cr in 15 years considering 7% annual top-up and 10% modest returns)

For your retirement planning you may consider NPS and start with a decent amount(~30 K pm) as regular investment since time is on your side(27 years to hit 60 age).[3.45 Cr in 27 years without any step up consideration. 8% returns assumed].

Consider buying home loan insurance and super top-up health cover.

Happy Investing;
