Objective of the Survey
The Workosaur Salary Survey is an Annual
Survey which is conducted with the
objective of providing senior professionals
with data to benchmark their salary
against prevailing industry standards
within their functional area.
The functional areas being covered under
this survey are:
1. Consulting, Strategy & Planning
2. Finance & Accounts
3. Sales, Business Development &
Marketing
Methodology
The Workosaur Salary Survey Report is
based on salary (including variable
component) data made available by 3200
top professionals in India. We restricted
the audience to alumni of the top 10
business schools in India. This restriction
has been imposed so that the readers of
this survey can benchmark themselves
against the best in the industry.
Within a particular function, we have then
analyzed data in clusters – each cluster
consisting of those from a particular b-
school batch. The batch was chosen as the
basis of analysis because of the specific
tendency exhibited by professionals to
know where they stand amongst their
school batch.
Findings
For each cluster of data, we have then
presented a Salary Distribution Chart,
Average Annual Salary and a Designation
Cloud.
The Salary Distribution Chart is a pie chart
depicting the distribution, within a cluster,
in different annual salary ranges. The
Page 3 of 28
Average Salary is the mean annual salary
within a cluster.
The Designation Cloud is a weighted list of
the designations that are common to a
particular cluster with the font-size of a
particular designation corresponding to its
relative prevalence in that cluster.
Using this Report
• Narrow down to your functional area.
• Narrow down to your b-school/post-
graduation batch. (If you have not
completed your post-graduation, then
select a batch four years from the
completion of your under-graduation.)
• Check where you stand when
compared with the best talent in the
industry.
• If you are unhappy with your standing,
then head to www.workosaur.com
and apply for a higher-paying job.
• Next, send this report to as many of
your friends as possible.
About Workosaur
Workosaur.com is a free job board for
senior positions i.e. jobs that pay more
than Rs. 10+ lakh per annum.
Unlike the other job sites, Workosaur truly
focuses on aggregating the most lucrative
jobs in India and overseas - C-level, vice
president, director and manager positions.
We explicitly ask employers to use our job
board only for positions for which they
can afford to pay more than Rs. 10 lakh.
This also means that the site serves only
the most qualified job-seekers - those
currently earning Rs. 7.5+ lakh per annum.
Those earning less would be wasting their
time applying to the jobs on Workosaur.
