Hey, I am SDE with 2YOE getting 10LPA. Here I could see many folks posting their CCTC as 30LPA, 35LPA or even beyond for 2-3years exp. How is it possible? What you guys work with? How many of you guys have such high CTCs? Plz share your journey so i can pick up good stuff from it. Thank you
Chasing the ctc is just a race that keeps on going .
Your current ctc was once your dream ctc.
Similarly, once you reach 30/40 lpa, then you will feel that if i reach 50, i will feel good. But it never happens. Beyond a certain ctc, you should stop chasing the ctc because it will not make much difference in your living style. All the extra money just gets added to your savings. (Unless you are the type who spend all your salary on unnecessary stuff)
I understand your point. But my CTC is not so great that I can attain maha nirvana😅 I have some personal commitments, need to bring up my family and I should spend some good time for myself too. So to make all these happen I should certainly earn more (not for spending on anything unnecessary).
Also I am working constructively towards it... Hopefully i will reach it soon
Maybe after a few years, like in my 30s or so I will also come to the state of mind as you said in the comments..
Even i have not reached that stage of maha nirvana. Neither my ctc is that great
(Currenty 0 ctc as laid off again, and have family responsibility and all)
But what i have realized is to chase more important things in job
And focus on other things in life, i.e. family, personal health (which is most neglected by all of us), learning new things (maybe sport, music instrument or whatever gives you that good feeling)
It's fine. You're just 1 switch away from that.
10 LPA to 25/30LPA? Like what's the strategy for it? Do you work in niche skills or good in DSA? R u in TCS or elsewhere?
I am not in TCS. And I'm a Product Manager.
Yes, your DSA, communication skills and understanding of what and why you are building need to be strong to clear interviews.
Your resume skills also need to be strong to get interviews.
Dost, 8 years ago I with 2 yrs experience earning 18 thousand per month used to look at people earning in double digits as they some sort of Ambani.
Now I earn in multiples of double digit, I would have dismissed myself in past thinking I could earn this much,
what I am saying is give yourself some time, don’t be harsh on yourself, everyone is running race in same direction but on different race tracks.

This was beautiful my friend. I am going through depression cycles thinking of how far behind I am in my life compared to my peers earning upwards of 25LPA and here I am still stuck with 16LPA with 4 YOE. I feel pity on myself and this drains energy to even keep trying to better myself. Any tips on dealing with this?
Comment down below your CTC and Experience and let others judge you that you need a switch or not.

I saw the IBM post on Grapevine, and seeing the positive response felt the urge to share my story as well. I tried finding my old offer letters, but I couldn't because I lost that email account.
