From 3.3 LPA to 24 LPA. Stop waiting for appraisals.
I started at 3.3 LPA in a generic mass recruiter. First 1.5 years went in doing absolute garbage support work and licking my manager's boots for a B band rating just to get a 2k increment. It was depressing.
Realized no one gives a shit about loyalty. You want money? Be ruthless. I spent every weekend grinding React, Node, and AWS. Built actual full-stack products while my roommates got drunk in Koramangala.
Jump 1: 3.3 -> 9 LPA (small product company) Jump 2: 9 -> 24 LPA (where i work now)
YOE: 4.5 Tech stack: MERN + AWS
Stop begging for that 10% hike. The system is rigged to keep you cheap. Upskill, exaggerate your bench work, and switch. Loyalty is for dogs, not devs.
Takeaway notes: "the system is rigged to keep you cheap"
Thanks for such motivation..keep motivating us like this...having 6.7 years of experience and package is around 18LPA...First and current company is TCS...imemdiately after 2 years in TCS I resigned...first and cirrent company is TCS...started with 3.36 but got retained with 12LPA... then I got engaged then wedding then kid...so haven't switched yet...but that confidence, that passion everything is gone now...please have some motivational words for my switch as well
Sorry, couldn't understand, did you say that TCS retained you from 12 lpa to 18 lpa package and they matched your new offer? Never heard that tcs will retain their employees..
I am Rishi Maheshwari I gave Tcs interview at 1st April but till now not got any update. Should I consider myself as rejected or still in pending.
