India ki IT industry mein 2 dominant tracks — Services (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL, Cognizant, Capgemini, Tech Mahindra, Accenture) aur Product or GCC (Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Adobe, Salesforce, Atlassian, Walmart Labs, Target India, Wells Fargo Tech, JPMC, Goldman Sachs, BNY Mellon, Stripe, MongoDB). Services companies India workforce ka 70 percent plus hire karti hain — fresher 3.5 to 4 LPA, growth slow, project mostly client maintenance plus transformation. Product or GCC 30 percent workforce hold karte hain, pay 2 to 3 times services-equivalent role pe, work mostly internal product or platform development, RSU stock typically included. Salary comparison 2025: Services SE 3 to 4 yr (TCS, Infy P-band) INR 7 to 12 LPA. Same experience product (Microsoft 60 or 61, Amazon SDE-2, Adobe SE-2) INR 35 to 60 LPA total comp. GCC banks (Wells Fargo, JPMC, Goldman) INR 30 to 55 LPA. Mid-tier product (Walmart Labs, Target, PhonePe, Razorpay) INR 22 to 40 LPA. Real gotchas — interview process completely different (services project-deep-dive vs product DSA plus system design plus behavioural, 5 to 7 rounds). Prep 4 to 6 mahine focused chahiye. Probation 6 mahine strict in product. RSU vest 4 saal. Sign-on 2 yr lock-in. Hike pattern alag — base 5 to 10 percent, RSU refresh plus level promo se asli growth. PIP forced ranking — Amazon URA 6 percent, Microsoft, Meta — India teams included. Work culture shock — services manager-driven, product self-driven with peer code review brutal. 3 to 6 month adjustment lagta hai. Switch timeline 6 mahine prep plus 3 to 6 mahine interview cycle, 3 to 5 attempts before crack typical. Sweet spot 2.5 to 4 yr experience. 6 plus yr lateral mushkil (must be domain expert ya manager track).
