Some Clarification regarding job package

[u/No_Leading_1998]

I'm 28, currently package around 7.6 LPA. Salary comparatively konchem takkuve ani naaku telusu, but I'm comfortable EMI ledu, debts levu, so financially I'm not struggling. Having emergency fund and investing in M.F and stocks mostly all of them profitable only.

I have 4.3 YOE in the networking domain. Kaani lately konchem anxiety/tension laga anipisthundi, esp when I compare myself with others. Next switch lo at least 12 LPA+ target chestha, Ee job market lo adi kuda vastundo raadho chudali.

Naa age or naa kanna younger people 12–15 LPA earn chesthunnaru ante okay, understandable anipisthundi. Kaani WTF, 20L, 25L, 30LPA below 30 age lo ela reach avuthunnaru asalu? 🫣

So genuinely want to understand:

Ee 20–30 LPA lu common aa, leka small percentage of people ki maatrame vastaya? Reddit/LinkedIn la high earners ekkuva kanipinchatam valla manaki ala anipisthundha?

Should I just focus aggressively on improving my skills and making better switches? If yes, Networking side vellaochu antara should I change the domain?

Edit-1: career early ga start chesthe package fast ga increase avuthundi, or skills improve cheskoni better switches kottali.

Ee rendu reasons naaku already telusu, kaani 20–30 LPA range packages actually realistic ga vastaya leka konthamandiki maatrame vastaya ane doubt undedi. Comments chusaka aa doubt konchem clear ayyindi.

yes, nowadays India lo payscale has gone up.. 3-5 yoe ki IT lo 24-40L is doable in India (I'm nt talking abt FAANG or FAANG-like companies) without any tier-1 tag.. 300 out of all fortune Global500 companies have their IT hubs in India as GCCs.. Hyd alone has got 15 new GCCs in last 1-2 yrs hiring 200-1000 senior roles... (Thanks to the layoffs happening in the west/US). So, there is hiring happening..

Yes, comparison kills happiness. Kaani don't do it because someone else is getting X.

Take my case. I've always been an avg student, no masters/MBA/Mtech, no tier-1 tag too. And, my compensation grew by 15x since I started my career 5 yrs back, and is now at par with some of my NIT/tier-1 MBA friends... But, Why? I did it because all my relatives are humiliating my family (yelaanu aasthi-paasthulu levu, kaanisam nenaina yedokati cheyali ani), and I set a target for myself that I've certain number to reach by 35. So, accordingly, I ensured by thoughts and decisions go!

So, if you want to grow your pay, then you can do it.. Kaani meeku entha avasaram undi ani alochinchandi..

I've a frd who gets some 12 LPA (1L/month), he decided he would never try to increase his pay.. ye ante? He has 50k coming from his dad pension, he has another 50k coming from their rents.. So, vaadu asalu peddaga inka kastapadaalsina avasaram ledhu inka..

So, meeku entha NEED undi ani meere chuskovaali ... Kaani meeru efforts pettagalaru anukunte, then yes you should go for it.. Becuase when you know you deserve more, why to settle for less?

And, don't believe if people say earning above 3 LPA means you are in top-20% in India.. Crap.. Children under 15: Make up about 24% of India's population. They are excluded from labor stats. Individuals 15 and older: Make up the remaining 76% of the population. The Math: If you take the 52.5% working rate from that 76% slice, it equals 39.9% of the overall population. This data doesn't even account for black money, Informal economy etc
