Indian salary trends for PHP Developers – Salaries are high yet cost-effective for buyers

Companies from the US, who are quality conscious in the work delivered and made, turn
towards Indian PHP developers not without reasons. The economic disparity between India, the
US leads and other countries leads to a mutually beneficial situation for both the countries. With
exchange rates favoring the Indians, companies from the US also get benefited due to the same.
The salary packages of Indian PHP Developers vary a great deal owing to a lot of factors.

It is well known that some of the high-end operations are outsourced to offshore destinations
such as India for the cost related benefits and the superior quality attained by companies in the
US. When the American counterparts get paid around $80000 per annum (roughly about Rs.
3,500,000 varying upon exchange rates), Indians with the same experience, expertise, knowledge
and skill levels are paid far lesser only for reasons as such figures would suffice for the living
conditions in India.

Companies have to incur other costs besides paying salary to these PHP developers. This leads to
a lot of projects being outsourced to India. Also, there are mandatory laws and regulations in
India that would benefit you as a PHP Developer or even as a Software Professional. You get
something more than your salary with the help of these mandatory regulations. A PHP developer
almost doubles up the cost of the processes as he takes up half of the total cost incurred.

The existing salary standards offered by Indian Offshore Outsourcing Companies to PHP
developers depends upon a lot of factors in addition to the experience of these developers and the
average salaries paid in these companies fostered by the companies’ credentials.

 0-1 year experienced PHP developers – Rs. 6000-Rs. 9000 ($130-200) per month.
 1-2 years experienced PHP developers – Rs. 9000-Rs. 15000 ($200-330) per month.
 2-3 years experienced PHP developers – Rs. 15000-Rs. 25000 ($330-540) per month.
 3-4 years experienced PHP developers – Rs. 25000-Rs. 35000 ($330-750) per month.
 4-5 years experienced PHP developers – Rs. 45000 and higher.

If you are starting as a new resource to the industry with all knowledge but little experience, you
can keep the salary structure in mind as ‘what is your salary expectation?’ is the trickiest
question in the world. With this question, employers and interviewers try to catch you off-guard
and let you estimate yourself. They also take comprehension of your understanding of the
industry with the salary that you bid. If you are bidding too low, your frustration will build up
and if you are bidding too high, you display yourself as greedy for more. Your self-awareness
will let you choose the right salary package as well as your knowledge of the industry standards.
