AI engineer with 12 LPA is great or low ???

Hey everyone,

I'm currently working as an AI/ML Engineer in Bangalore with about 3 years of experience. I work at a mid-sized product-based company and my current compensation is ₹12 LPA.

I wanted to get an honest market perspective from people in similar roles. Based on the current AI/ML and GenAI job market in Bangalore, does ₹12 LPA seem reasonable for someone with 3 years of experience, or am I being underpaid?

My work involves AI/ML development, LLMs, GenAI, RAG-based applications, Python, and deploying AI solutions in production environments.

I'd love to hear:

Your current role and years of experience

Your compensation range (if comfortable sharing)

Whether you think I should start looking for a switch

What salary range is realistic for someone with my experience in today's market

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and advice!
