First Milestone - Hope many more to go

Posting here not for bragging but to just let people like me know who look at extraordinary salaries and feel sad - it is possible just believe in yourself. I never thought I’d reach even this.

4.5 years of workex in a non-tech role, started with 35,000 monthly salary.

I know this number might not mean anything to the FAANG tech bros out there but for the rest here is a bit of context -

  • I come from a middle class background
  • Not from Tier 1 college
  • Not a software developer
  • No MBA as of now
  • This doesn’t contain any inheritance
  • Send some money home every month for parents

Dont get overwhelmed, just keep your head down and don’t compare to anyone. I try to keep a strict budget, track every transactions, limit my needs but once a while splurge slightly when I feel like.

See you all at the next milestone! 🍻
