Scenario CTC : 30-40L Age : 25 College : Tier 3 at best YOE : 4
So for context, I was the only designer with the company 4 years ago and have grown with the company getting around 3 promotions going from a generalist designer to a newbie product design manager.
I loved the product I was building and had a team along with it - this was the flagship product of the company. I’ve been feeling however over the last year that I’ve not been learning new things and doing more of people management which is let’s be honest - hella boring.
Recently - I’ve been moved to a new product where again I’m the team for now but the team will expand over the next year as I’ll be hiring and I’ll be handling product design and brand design part of this product which is exciting and new for me.
But it’s been 4 years now - I don’t mind the founders as they are pretty cool but there are certain elements of working there I am not a fan of. But I feel that will be true anywhere I work.
People tell me switching and expanding the portfolio is important but for my experience the pay out there seems to be less which has got me in a limbo.
Should I play my cards where I am already and try to grow or go all in and switch - but again the major issue being the band of payment for my YOE is not aligned with what companies are offering.
What do you guys think?
I think you should truly stay if the current company offers ample opportunities to manage, hire and groom your leadership skills
While a new company may have none of this
Also you are right that at the next startup you may just dislike the founders more. Who knows…
Well done tho! Super journey for a tier 3 college
Bro! Hats off man! I'm from a Tier 1 college, have done masters, have 4 YOE and I'm nt even earning half of you. On top of that, I'm a donkey who is almost 30.
Wish I had worked hard man. Now life is fucking me everyday for being lazy. I have no respect at all due to my low salary even after graduating from tier 1 college.
Kudos for earning so much at such a young age man.
