Here's my attempt at shame of not being able to ramp up quickly enough:
2007 - 0 YOE - 2 lakhs INR (3000 USD) - Software Engineer - UK Company
2013 - 6 YOE - 11.5 lakhs INR (16500 USD) - Technical Consultant - Australia based company
2014 - 7 YOE - 14.5 lakhs INR (21000 USD) - Senior Engineer - Mid Size American Software company
2018 - 11 YOE - 30 lakhs (43000 USD) - Staff Engineer - Mid Size American company
College - Tier 3 college, I actually dint even have a job after graduating, not even Infy/Wipro/TCS etc. It was mix of circumstances and some hustling that I landed my first job.
What I am working on? Plain old ERP systems.
How many hours I work each week? 3-10 hrs max per week with projects taking maybe some more time. I manage people well and ensure that they are able to do their jobs effectively lessening the burden on me.
For people looking for advice on how to get these kinds of salary - I have a colleague who left the UK company along with me at same salary. Currently he is drawing 20 lakhs (29000 USD) after the same amount of years. One of the reasons is that he went to work for Tech Mahindra.
And even though I referred to him at couple of companies like JP Morgan his interview skills weren't great.
And, he has changed only 1 company since 2013, while this is my 3rd job.
Lastly, different technologies not only mean different salaries but also that your competence might differ. Hence the difference in salaries.
