Hey folks,

I recently cleared the interview rounds for an SWE III role and am currently waiting to hear back from HR for the salary discussion.

**My current comp:**

Base: ₹13 LPA

Bonus: ₹3 LPA

Total: ₹16 LPA

**Experience:** \~4 years (completing 4 years this week)

**Current company:** Reputed product-based company in Chennai (MTS role)

The team I’ve been selected for is **Sam’s Club**, and I wanted to get some clarity before going into negotiations.

Would really appreciate insights on:

  1. Typical **salary range (base + bonus + RSU)** for SWE III

  2. What **base** I should reasonably target

How much **joining bonus / sign-on** is usually offered

  1. Typical **RSU grants**

  2. Team culture and **work-life balance**, especially for Sam’s Club

I checked Glassdoor and AmbitionBox, but the numbers seem inconsistent and lack clear breakdowns.

Any recent or firsthand insights would be super helpful. Thanks!
