Seven years recognizes you as an engineer and not for a senior engineer level. As per me it should be atleast 32yrs age & 10+ yrs of service, still it is how the employer understands you. Offcourse your nationality / passport will play a trump card, to me 30K should be ok. So dont get dragged by some stupid comments. Some people of other nationality are getting this package at the age of 45yrs.
