Keeping jumping companies in your early career years. Every 1-2 years. Only way to increase your package. Then start looking for stable places in your 30's.

Stay true to your work. And take on new initiatives irrespective of your role or relevance. Do things that's not expected from you today.

You can keep switching, and that will increase your pay early in the career. But if you really want to get to the top ladder, you will have to stay longer at a company to, and further have a deeper impact

This! After 20 years of work, I can vouch that PPL who reach executive positions are those who stay 3-4 years atleast and hv one promotion to show on each of their jobs, moving sideways will only get some 10-15% more in short term. Long term it's the executive roles that will pay you more. This applies as early as 8-12 years. Not everyone will end up starting up and getting funded so planning a corporate career right is not a bad idea!

Don't be in a hurry to climb the ladder. Cultivating deep knowledge and skills, both technical & political / organizational, take time and experience to build.

If you climb too quickly without building those core skills, you'll falter at the top and suffer. Success is a life-long ongoing journey, not a particular destination.

Domain knowledge , the single best and little slow but proven way to growth . You may grow fastest if you jump companies every 6 months but you will not be considered beyond your 3rd jump . So either by your 3rd Jump reach an extremely good company or work in one good company for 3-5 year , gain domain expertise , spend time upskilling yourself and then jump to a bigger/better role with much higher pay 💰
