A side project I created because the roads in India are terrible and it needs to be highlighted.

I took heavy UI inspiration from a similar site [2] built for bangalore

shoebhamon Ask HN: Did you know what average developer salaries are in India?

out of 1.5 million most of the students are from tier 2 and tier 3 colleges. The education and opportunities in Tier 2 colleges makes most of the student employable while students from tier 3 colleges are barely employable.

out of 1.5 million only 10% are employable i.e 150k grads [1] Out of that 150k, 50% will be employed by mass recruiters (Infosys, TCS, Cognizant, HCL, Wipro)

shoebhamon Ask HN: Did you know what average developer salaries are in India?

The numbers you've provided are typically associated with mass recruiters who hire students fresh from college (most of whom are bad at coding). These companies (Infosys, Tcs etc.) pays peanuts compared to other reputed companies. The number of candidates for these mass recruiters is so high, it often reduces the average salaries.

If you only consider good colleges and good companies, the number would be around

Fresh: $10k - $20k

3-5 YOE: $20 - $35k

>5 YOE - >$35k

I made an extension [1] to summarise terms and conditions of your current webpage. After reading the recent news related to disney+, the idea struck me what all unusual clauses websites put in their T&Cs.

It currently doesn't work on some sites.
