Feeling like shit at 27.

27 Male ,got an offer of 20.5 lpa.

Most of the people I know here at grapevine are making way more and friends in my circle are making around 35-50 lpa.

Now I am confused,I have a lot of questions in my head.

Did I slack off?

Or did I do okay?Cause I was avg in college(7.6 cgpa) tier -3 and started my job at non-dev role.

I thought market was down hence I was happy with 20.5 lpa,but now I see folks making more money.

My progression : 3 lpa to 5 lpa (Accenture for 2 years) service based S.A.P basis job.

Drone tech startup: ML Engineer (2.3 yoe)[8-12 LPA]

Now I will be joining an MNC : As Sr.MLE offer in hand (20.5 LPA)

Overall I have 4.3 yoe.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I might be insecure,I cannot talk about this problem with my parents or friends (or anyone around me)

I was earning 15 LPA at 6 yoe. Going by your standard I should have been crying every day!! In grapevine, top 10% earning people of corporate India keeps flexing their package. If you keep comparing with them, you will always feel miserable.

@shpinq You are absolutely right,I see folks flexing their package and net worth here on grapevine.Not that it's wrong though. I would really like to learn how they did it.

It's a fair share of luck and skill. It's not solely dependent on skillset. Do not compare your story to others. It will only move you down a rabbithole you cannot get out of.

Nope. This is very low. You should be earning atleast 4 CR per year at this age, else you will end up poor.
