Tldr: title
Living with my parents has allowed me to save a decent amount and invest while enjoying time with friends. My job is fun; I work with a tech stack I love (Golang) and learn new things regularly since it's a scratch project. My manager is great, an expert in SQL, and doesn't scrutinize my code much. My salary is around 9.5 LPA, and I have close to two years of experience.
Being part of the tech community, I strive for a better salary. However, my efforts to switch jobs have been inconsistent. I dedicated two weeks to practicing DSA and applying for jobs but received no callbacks, which was tough to swallow. My goal is to achieve a salary around 14 LPA in my next jump, but sometimes I wonder if I'm being delusional.
I know there are amazing folks who get 20 or 30 LPA straight out of college, and I wish them the best. Comparing myself to them hasn't been effective. Even trying to dislike my company, thinking about how I barely make $10,000 while the company profits millions, hasn't motivated me.
what might be your strategy you if you were in a similar situation?
