How to get a job with salary 15lpa +

I am software engineer with 2 years of experience. I am not from NIT IIT no MBA no Mtech. I have seen a culture where talent guy from lower college background get paid less than the industry standard. I have no money to go for higher studies can’t take the risk that can hang my live to nowhere. So Is there any way to earn more without being from IIT NIT Mtech MBA?

  1. Build side projects( and/or contribute to open source), develop your skillset
  2. Prepare for common interview questions of your domain
  3. Optimize resume and LinkedIn
  4. Switch to a startup that has good rep
  5. Repeat step 2
  6. After 2-3 years switch to your desired company
  7. Don't get complacent and keep grinding. As the pay increases so does the level of work and competition with peers

It's easy for me to type this. But you'll have to do the hard work. Leave toxic friends who waste your time. Stop watching anime. Maintain a routine.

Above Steps worked for me so far. Hope it helps. All the best.

The easy way - Learn DSA. Be strong in one language. Apply to a ton of companies. If you’re good, you’ll eventually get in with a huge CTC.

The tough way - Focus on fundamentals. Apply to very specific companies; preferably through referrals where you know you can learn, be impactful and grow. Then switch.

The first way is the easiest because almost all companies these days hire though DSA interviews.

The second way is the toughest because there are very few companies who prioritise asking real world stuff in actual interviews and where you can have a huge impact. But the good part is, in the long run, you’re more likely to be better than the person who cracked a nice company through DSA because you concentrated more on fundamentals.

There are exceptions to this.
