You're literally in the top 5% of earners in India dum dum. Probably even top 1%.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself and stop comparing yourself to others.

Hehe thanks for your replies guys, I thought grapevine was full of people with portfolios of 50L in 2 years of working This was not a shit post but honestly package is also a matter of perspective. I see lot of people around me making much more in similar age and conditioning has led me to believe I am left behind. Was having a low self esteem evening so posted. Love this community

I am in a good company and I still don't make that much 🙂‍↕️

I think inflated packages get posted on the internet, while average packages (which is the norm) get ignored. We are average beings earning average wages. And we should be proud.

12LPA @27 Years. Am I a failure.

12lpa @ 27 yrs age. Is it too low for this age. I see most people here reach 30+ ctc by this age and get multiple marriage offers also. I feel ashamed now, i think marriage also less chance.
