Started in 2016 at 35K. In 2017, got hike, reached 47K In 2018, switched company, reached 55K In 2019, switched company, reached 80K In 2020, no hike In 2021, switched company, reached 120K In 2022, got hike, reached 210K

Switch I made in 2018 almost screwed up my entire career. Worst company and culture. A lot were held on variable pay.

But you are brave,most of the people don't take the leap because they fear bad culture. But in hindsight you would appreciate what you have now (if things are better) and the 35K to 210K happened.good luck 🤞

2014: First job in campus placement; 5.5L
2015: 5.8L
2016: left job for few personal goals
2018: came back to job market; new company; 7.5L
2019: 7.5L
2020: 15L; Double Promotion
2021: 30L; Double Promotion
2022: 45L
2023: 60L; shifted to a new company

As I look back,

  1. There is a lot of luck - need to be in right place at right time and most importantly with right people.

  2. All throughout I had to keep proving that I'm my own pedigree. I don't have an IIT/IIM or MBA advantage and this required me to hustle :)

Hard core hustle in sales and marketing for years.

  1. I'm grateful

Appraisal in May21 at startup2: 1.76L Appraisal in May22 at startup2: 2.37L Appraisal in May23 at startup2: 3.04L

Technically took 1 switch, the first one was a goofup by HR where a content role was sold as tech role.

Rabb ki mehr hai bhai! The more you get the more you are scared in the startup world. Responsibilities do not change much.

Big Buck Girl here. Started my career in HR 2 years and 10 months ago.

Stuck with the same company for about 2 years and 5 months for 8L package. Made a switch 6 months ago to reach 12.5 LPA.

Now at a new org with 16 LPA. The work culture is intense and hectic I only took it up to climb the corporate ladder quicker.

But now because of the company culture I want to leave the corporate world entirely. Money seriously cannot buy happiness. Lifestyle inflation and responsibilities eat away at your CTC in no time. If you love what you do then that’s a whole other thing.
