I need a salary hike. I need to either freelance or switch.

Hey, I am earning 7 lakh per annum after 5 YOY. I have an offer letter of 11 lpa. I know I can be offered packages up to 14 lpa in a couple of weeks. I am underpaid in my current company. However, I don't want to make a switch right now. I am very sure about it. The job is pretty good. My manager is a kind and learned man, I am learning quite a lot. Plus the job is not hectic and it is allowing me moonlighting (secretly). I earn around 1 lakh per month through moonlighting. How should I request/urge/encourage my company to offer me a hike of 25% to 30%. The company will most likely offer me a hike of 10% to 15%. I will make a switch after 6 months (2 years of experience with this company). There is quite a lot of instability on my CV. My main idea is to be here till 2 years and increase my base here to 9 lpa. I am a good or maybe exceptional performer. My performance was rated 4.50/5 Please help! Problem statement: How to negotiate.

Started working in 2017 (Graduation: Tier 2 College) in hand salary: 28K per Month. Worked for 2.5yrs, had big dreams, didn’t knew what to do, how do I 10x my salary, saw my manager 40yrs old earning 25LPA in the same company. Realised I don’t want to do this for the next 20yrs and the reach at 25LPA. Started preparing for UPSC (wanted to make it big) realised within 6 months, this is not my cup of tea, appeared for MBA entrance, cleared the exam joined Tier 1 MBA, post MBA: 25LPA + XX Esops in next two years at 1.2Cr CTC inc ESOPs. Before 2030 plan to achieve FIRE with 8Cr networth. By 2040 make it 100Cr and retire. Chill at beach with beer in hand and two other friends.

90% people invest around 10K to 15K per month in MF through SIP and remain invested for 5 to 6 years. Even with 12 to 15% CAGR, the corpus is too small to create any asset. Is it worth it. I wonder.

What was your first ever CTC and what's your current CTC with YoE? I'll start - 1.6 to 9.8 in 4 years. This post is intended to give hope to freshers and motivation to experienced folks.

Have a Kid and I'm 34 years old. Should I continue struggling at my Solopreneur startup, or outsource operations, put in auto-pilot mode and go back Job hunting? Ideally should have had at least 40-50 LPA worth of assets or savings, but have barely 80K. What should I do? Startup in into IoT Product Manufacturing...

I am earning lakh rupees a month(excluding my monthly expenses as a single). but when I think about buying a house (2bhk around 7.5 to 8 hundred sqft) in a city like Pune/ Banglore. I feel I will not be able to afford it considering other expenses (along with 60 k emi). but when I see people with a salary of 50-60k per month buying the same houses. how are these people planning it out? and most of the people earn between 30-60k how you guys are planning it? how should I plan this for myself? and 20 years of repaying the loan. i feel it's a trap.

Those who are earning more than 1 lakh per month. Share your journey how you reached there and also some tips.

I have 5YoE in the current company, and about 7 years overall. I bring specific domain knowledge to the team, as I have a PhD in Science. The regular increment is 10% even with performance exceeding expectations. I am considering branching off and starting my own business. Last year I made around 6 lakhs by freelancing. That too without any active marketing and advertising. What should be the best course of action?.

I have been interviewing at a startup. Initially I told my expectations to be 38LPA Later came to know, they pay much more. Have cleared all the interviews, how can I negotiate for more salary? Current compensation - 27LPA Yoe - 6.5 Role: Senior frontend engineer

Hey everyone, I am currently working as a security analyst working for a company that provides pentesting as a service to its clients. I am getting paid 17lpa fixed salary. I earn 80-90k from freelancing every month pre taxes. So should I switch or not. It's been 3 years I am in this company and I can't see much growth now. I will be doing the same work. The work is full remote and the culture of company s also nice and workload is fine. What should I do? Should I look for a product based company but most of them call onsite. I want remote work only that is mandatory.
