[Guide] How I got a 300% pay hike switching from Accenture

Spoke to someone in Grapevine through DMs 2 months ago about increasing pay. They helped me with the following roadmap but in more detail. Got offer from two competing startups in AI. 28L-Fixed is the best offer I got. Previous CTC: 7L (Fixed) Current YOE: 1Y Here was my strategy: 1. Improved functional python knowledge via Leetcode and Codeforces. 2. Learnt more about Cassandra, PostgreSQL, Redis, Django and React. Not in-depth but functional enough to build proof of concepts. 3. Understanding intuitively rather rote-learning concepts like: OS, Computer Networkls, DBMS, OOPs(Read everything around them using MIT OCW). 4. Data Structures and Algorithms: String Manipulation, Arrays, Linked Lists, Stacks, Queues, HashMaps, Trees, Graphs, and Heaps. 5. Mock Interviews with my friends in the end.

I played it smart and got on bench. Then refused to take on anymore projects and asked for an early release. It was a pain but in the end they allowed it.

1. Applied via friends this time. They were much more aware of the positions available at their companies. 2. I played it smart and got on bench. Then refused to take on anymore projects and asked for an early release. It was a pain but in the end they allowed it.
