Switched with > 100% hike

Joined as a fresher in Persistent systems at 4.71LPA and today joined as a Devops engineer at Hashedin by Deloitte with almost > 100% hike at 15LPA. I always used to think it's impossible to reach that figure in just 2 years of experience, but yeah the struggle was worth it. Just wanted to share my experience to all the folks out there who believe they are underpaid to just come out of your comfort zone and SWITCH!

Nice, I was at 6LPA with 1.75 yrs experience when I had switched for ~500% hike in base with additional ESOPs in DevOps role itself.
Kudos to you! Hope you find the work exciting!

How was your time at persistent, i have heard that internal growth in persistent seems higher than normal service base companies, did you experience that, what was your persistence pkg when you left persi?

It was average tbh, I joined in 2022 and before that I had heard there were no layoffs but now persistent is no longer safe to work. Although I got a good project but many of my colleagues were laid off due to lack of projects. Growth wise I started with 4.7 and within 2 years it was 7LPA. So it was a average experience for me

Is a 1 crore package worth switching jobs every 2 years?

Since the job switch hike can never be matched by a promotion within the same org at least in India, Is frequent job-hopping the key to maximizing earnings?

What are the potential downsides of job-hopping every two years?
