You were an outlier + had a US Stint. For above average folks working in tech it will take 10+ years to get here.

It’s less return more of savings

Then why did you keep it in stock, use less risky options with recent returns like liquid funds, FD etc.

Why didn't you invest in mutual Funds instead.

Stocks give better returns

But it's only 8% in your case. Have you just started the investment or reinvesting your profit?

Amazing salary progression, and even better savings rate 🚀

Would love to know more about these things, if you can share more:

Year on year, how did you make sure to double down on your skills? Did you stick to a single tech domain and sub-domain building depth or dabbled around various domains?
Have you been tending towards an IC role or a managerial role?
How did you decide that you are done with a certain company, and want to switch? If I may, was that more a "kind of work" decision or "pay factor"?

How come you have 90L invested but your top stock is Sanghvi motor with just 135 shares? That peanuts, you next share is HPL with just 98 shares? This means your 4th stock is like Adani Ports or Green with 15000+ stocks or Tata Elxsi with 20,000 stocks?? What I am missing here?

So if you look closely it's filtered by day moves and he has over 75 stocks in holding. Hope this helps

This is worst return. I myself invest 2lakh in last 2year and got almost 5 lakh. Compared to the huge amount you invested it would have been better if you move to MF

Good for you, my man! As some folks pointed out, you missed out on some great returns. Try mutual funds or smallcase or even an index fund unless you are actively managing your portfolio.

That USA gig came in handy huh? If you are a frontend engineer, I think I know you from Twitter 😄
