It actually depends on the kind of company you get hired in - a Service based company or a Product based company.

实际上，这取决于你所在公司的类型——服务型公司还是产品型公司。

In Service based companies:

Initial salary - 2.8–3.2 LPA

After 1 year - 3.7 LPA

After 2 yrs - 4.2–5.0 LPA (depending on the promotions and performance)

服务型公司:

初始工资：年薪 28 - 32万卢比

1年后- 年薪37 万卢比

2年后- 年薪42 - -50 万卢比(取决于晋升和业绩)

The salary scale in the serviced based companies are way too less as compared to the product based companies. And I’m sure the software engineers might be very frustrated with the package they’re being offered because they are way too less as compared to the IT standard rates.

与产品型公司相比，服务型公司的薪酬规模要小得多。我敢肯定软件工程师们可能会对自己的薪酬感到非常沮丧，因为与IT标准薪资相比，他们要少得多。

Serviced based - The average salary for an Entry-Level Software Engineer at Wipro Technologies Ltd. Is Rs 360,868 per year.

服务型公司，威普罗科技公司初级软件工程师的平均工资为360,868万卢比每年。

In Product based companies:

If you come from an IIT you can bag up to 30LPA but irrespective of the institution the minimum salary that a software engineer can bag ranges from 4LPA and can go up to 7LPA, depending on the job role and job profile (Front-end developer, Back-end developer, MEAN Stack/Full Stack developer).

产品型公司:

如果你毕业于印度理工学院，年薪可达300万卢比。但无论毕业于哪所学校，软件工程师的最低工资可从40万卢比每年至70万卢比每年，取决于工作岗位和工作职责(前端开发人员、后端开发人员、全栈开发人员等等)。

Product based - The average pay for an Entry-Level Software Development Engineer (SDE) at Amazon is Rs 1,276,438 per year.

产品型公司——亚马逊初级软件开发工程师的平均年薪是1,276,438卢比。

Now do you see the difference?

现在你看到区别了吗?

Why the gap between both the companies?

为什么两者之间存在这么大的差距?

Service based company

You are required to slog to get the work done

There is lack of creativity

No learning growth

Life is monotonous and so is the job

No professional growth

Examples of serviced based companies - Accenture, TCS, Wipro, IBM India, Cognizant etc.

服务型公司：

工作辛苦乏味

缺乏创造力

没有学习提升

生活单调，工作也是如此

没有职业发展

例如：埃森哲，塔塔咨询, 威普罗, IBM印度，高知特等

Product based company

The work is creative

The learning curve is great

There is scope for professional growth

Salary is being offered based on the IT industry’s standards

You get hired for your skills not for the bookish knowledge

Examples of product based companies - Amazon, Facebook, Flipkart, Startups such as Uber and PayTM etc.

产品型公司

工作具有创造性

学习空间大

有职业发展的空间

工资按照IT行业的标准

录用取决于技能而不是书本上的知识

例如：亚马逊,Facebook,Flipkart公司创业公司如乳房和PayTM等等。

P.S.

You should always go for the right career path to secure your career and financial status, especially in the IT industry.

Good Luck!!!

你应该选择正确的职业道路，以确保你的职业和财务状况，尤其在IT行业。

祝你好运! ! !

First of all, the question ‘What’s the average salary of Software Test Engineer’ is like asking ‘What’s the average house rent in Bengaluru, India?’ You tell me…Can’t? Yeah! You need some more filters to arrive at the rent – the house type (whether it’s a 1BHK/2BHK/Villa/etc.), the locality, furnishing status, society amenities, etc. In the same way, the pay scale for Software Testing domain (in fact for any technology) varies depending on multiple factors. But before looking into each factor – don’t believe the general myth that ‘Test professionals are paid less than developers’ – it all depend on,

首先，问“软件测试工程师的平均工资是多少?”就像问“印度班加罗尔的平均房租是多少?”你能告诉我答案吗？不能吧。你需要考虑很多方面来计算租金——房子类型、地点、家具设备、配套设施等等。同样，软件测试领域(实际上是任何技术领域)的薪酬标准也会因多种因素而异。但在研究每一个因素之前——不要相信“软件测试专业人员的薪酬低于开发人员”的说法——这都取决于：

Skill set

The most important factor – after all it is the skills that get you the money, be it any service sector. General perception is – Software Testing doesn’t require technical skills. Result – Every Tom, Dick & Harry is pursuing a career in Software Testing. Hence there is the horde of Manual Software Testers in the market (it’s a job market after all). Going by the general ‘Demand & Supply’ economics, whenever the supply is surplus, there will be a resulting price drop. Hope you got the point ;-)

When deciding on your career, keep in mind that now-a-days there are very few “pure” manual testing opportunities. Even if it is – there are practically thousands of candidates competing for it. Then where is the opportunity? It’s “Hybrid”. The jack of all manual test concepts (nothing can ever replace Manual tests, automated testing is to extend the reach of tester’s work, not to replace it) and master of at least one – automation or any other specialized testing type (Mobile, Cloud, Selenium, Performance, Security, IoT, etc.)!

技能：

这是最重要的因素——毕竟不管是什么服务行业，是技能让你赚到钱。一般的看法是--软件测试不需要技能。结果——人人都在寻求软件测试职业。因此，市场上有大量的手动软件测试人员(毕竟这是一个就业市场)。按照一般的“需求与供应”经济学，只要供应过剩，就会导致价格下跌。希望你看懂了。

在选择职业时，要记住现在很少有“纯”手动测试岗位。即使是这样，实际上也有成千上万的候选人在竞争。那么机会在哪里呢?“掌握多种测试技能”。掌握所有手动测试技能(没有任何东西可以取代手工测试，自动化测试是为了扩展测试人员的工作范围，而不是取代它)和掌握至少一种自动化或其他专门测试类型(移动、云、硒（一种ui自动化测试工具框架）、性能、安全、物联网等)!

Experience

Experience is one thing you can’t get for nothing. It’s one of our best teachers, growing knowledgeable with every experience. And it literally ‘pays’ to be knowledgeable, that too practical knowledge. In this service industry the #years of experience determine your capabilities with respect to different roles – Software Tester, a Test Lead, Test Manager, Test architect, Senior Manager, Director, etc. And obviously as you grow the ladder of different roles – the responsibilities increase – & so does your ‘Salary’!

经验：

经验是不可能不劳而获的。它是我们最好的老师之一，随着各种经验的积累而变得知识渊博。这也是物有所值的，因为知识太实用了。在这个服务行业中，多年的经验决定了你对不同岗位的能力——软件测试人员、测试负责人、测试经理、测试架构师、高级经理、总监等等。

Employer (Company)

This is obvious. Apple or Google will obviously have higher pay scale when compared to Infosys or Wipro. Why? Due to the ‘kind of work’ involved, workforce count, profitability, overall turnover, etc. The catch – you need to build a strong skill set & rich experience to get an offer!

雇主(公司)：

这一点是显而易见的。与印孚瑟斯或威普罗相比，苹果或谷歌的薪酬水平显然会更高。为什么?由于所涉及的“工作类型”、员工数量、盈利能力、总营业额等等。关键是——你需要建立一套强大的技能和丰富的经验才能得到这份工作!

Location

Why everybody in India want to go onsite? Haha! Yeah, money! What’s the difference? Location! Not location actually, but the economy & currency strength. Within India too, Salary might depend on the location – Bengaluru has grown more competitive over the years (Why do you think it’s called The Silicon Valley of India?).

工作地点：

为什么每个印度人都想当现场支持工程师?哈哈!是的,因为钱!有什么区别呢?地点!实际上不是地理位置，而是经济和货币实力。在印度国内，薪水也可能取决于地点——孟加拉在过去几年变得越来越有竞争力(你认为为什么它被称为印度的硅谷?)

Interview

This is the last stage which decides your pay scale – how did the interview go, were you confident enough, negotiation capabilities, offers already in hand, etc.

Considering the growth in the present days, software test professionals have enormous potential and opportunities. Just that now you know your pay scale depends on above criteria, start working on it ;-)

面试：

这是决定你薪资的最后一个阶段——面试进展如何，你是否足够自信，谈判能力，手头上的工作机会等等。

考虑到当今的发展，软件测试专业人员有着巨大的潜力和机会。既然你知道你的工资标准取决于以上标准，那就开始努力吧。

Note: Generally, professionals with a combination of rich experience, industry certification & advanced training will get the best and highest-paying testing jobs. As an answer, Software Test professional salary can start at 2.5L per annum, and then progress based on the above factors. As a general rule, you are on-track if Pay Scale = 2 * Work Experience, i.e. If you are 3 years experienced, pay scale should at least be 6+Lacs, & so on. Else pull up your socks, & start working :-)

注:一般情况下，经验丰富、行业认证、高级培训相结合的专业人才将获得薪酬最高的测试工作。软件测试行业的年薪可以从25万卢比开始，然后根据以上因素上涨。一般来说，如果你有3年的工作经验，你的工资标准至少应该是60万卢比以上。否则，那就加紧努力开始工作吧。
