🧵 [Thread] What's the minimum CTC that would make you feel successful?

Is it a number that gives you freedom? Security? Or just peace of mind?

IMHO Once I reach 2Cr/annum I would feel like I have made it.

I know someone who owns a Benz C class AND a S class. This person earns north of 3 crores every year. Just knowing that people like these exist in Indian tech space makes me feel if I’ll ever be adequately satisfied.

On the other hand, I know a JEE top 5 ranker with > 10 yoe who’s still L4 at Google.
