FAANG doesn't give 5-6x of this. Building a SaaS sounds better

Application Analyst

Unsustainable growth in salary;)  
 Good for you though if you can justify going forward, mind you market has rationalized these days... building SaaS would be a better option or join an early stage as engg head or CTO

Account Executive

Overview: 
Everyone around me, be it old school friends to the people in the bangalore startup ecosystem are planning to or already in the process of doing an MBA. 

What is happening:
Most of the people I know, either are going for a tier 1 MBA in India or colleges like “Carnegie Mellon”/ “INSEAD”/ “NUS” these are really good places. 

Why am I concerned:
I dont have great acade, GEM candidate so I have decided to not pursue CAT at all, and MBA outside India is too expensive. 

I feel like my job and career are going fine with 4 years of professional experience I am making 25LPA in marketing. I am not keen on doing an MBA but I dont want to regret later.

I consider myself to be fairly smart but what happens when I am competing with people who have great brand names on their resume and are actually smart. 

People on GV with more experience, have you gone through this struggle? 


Sidenote: I also have friends who have cleared IIM ABC, ISB and not gone, because they just wanted the admit letter. Which is brave lol!

Will an MBA destroy your life or make it better?

Performance Marketer

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

What should I do to reach 100 cr in 10-15 years?

I'm an ambitious person who can work his ass off. But I lack direction, I don't know what I should do to get there.

Any answer can give me a better perspective. But please refrain from questioning the ambition.

I'm in tech and I make 22 lacs/year (4 years of exp)

My current portfolio split up:
6 lacs - Nifty 50 MF
5 lacs - FD
10-20 lacs - real estate

20 lacs to 100 crores

1. Wake up at 4am 
 2. Plan the day ahead by brainstorming new ideas for profitability 
 3. Go to gym, invest in your body 
 4. Reach out to your customers before your morning coffee, helps set the tone for the day. 
 5. Rob a bank 
 6. Repeat till you reach your target of 100 crores.

Base 45
JB 2
Variable 12%
And esops worth 30L over four years
Role SDE 2

YOE 3.5

should i still try for faang or go with this for a year, i really liked the people and team here and they are fully commited to making this startup a success and even their last company got accquired.

Should I choose 45L or wait for FAANG?

Software Developer

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...

Went from 5.5 LPA to 5K/month 8 years back to focus on startup. Now barely making 30-70K/month when Job would have ideally offered 30-40LPA.

 Sorry. Should have posted mine first :)

I'm in tech and making 10 LPA (1 YOE ).

What are some of the investments I should do to able to make 10CR in 10 years?

What all sacrifices need to be done to achieve this target while living a decent lifestyle?

Ambition of 10CR

Rn I'm just starting out and it's been 2 years. Should I expect getting 5-6lakhs per month post tax in 6-7 years as salary? Is it something I can expect?

Is 5-6lakh per month post tax possible in software engineering

Yoe: 2.5
Tech stack: React Native, React JS
Current: 25 base 

Will Indian startups be willing to hire for this much base in current market? If yes, will the work life balance be absolute shit?

I’m currently working at a startup, want to switch
Please help a fellow SWE. Thanks 🙏

How realistic is it to get 36 LPA base

Frontend Engineer

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

What should my strategy be if I want to 4x my current salary (let's say go from 7LPA to approx 30LPA) in the next 4-5 years? Is this a realistic expectation to have moving forward? With regards to my work ex; I started off my career with sales, worked for 7 months, left the job, upskilled myself a little bit and landed a product manager role. So in total I have about a year of experience (7 months in sales and rest out it as a pm). Also I have a engineerring background and have also completed my MBA, both of them from tier 2 colleges.

Need more CTC

Product Manager

I am a software engineer with 2+years of experience at a product based company. My current CTC is around 10 lpa which I feel is below market standards. Also my wlb is terrible and growth at my current organisation has become stagnant. I mostly work on bug fixes and some minor feature enhancements.
What are the skills that are required to switch to a product based company as soon as possible with at least 15-17 lpa ? Currently I am not aiming for big tech ( FAANG) type companies as I know these will require thorough DSA , System design preparations which is not possible with my current job.

Need Guidance

Happy to connect with like minded people to start learning and building together.

Been on a job break for around 2 months, joined not so great startup with 10% hike. What should be my approach now in learning to get 40-50 LPA in an year? What tech stack to move to? Please guide. Currently has 2.5 yoe with 28 base ctc.
