Tier 3 college journey from 3.3 LPA to 1.3 cr in 11 years working for one of the MAANG companies

Where are the details of the journey bro or was the journey so long that you forgot to write about it? 🤣🤣

Jokes aside - Kudos man! Do share details.

Starting my career in 2013 as a Trainee Decision Scientist at Mu Sigma with a salary of 3.3 LPA, I embarked on a journey of growth and learning. After just 1.5 years, I moved into retail analytics in 2015 with a salary of 8 LPA. Over 3.5 years, with two hikes and a promotion, my salary grew to 14 LPA by the time I left in 2018.

At the end of 2018, I joined an insurance company with a package of 19.8 LPA. Through a hike and market corrections, my salary increased to 22.7 LPA.

In 2020, I shifted my focus to NLP and deep learning, joining a startup with a fixed salary of 36 LPA. Within a year, leveraging a competing offer of 54 LPA, I negotiated my way to a 50 LPA all fixedsalary in 2021.

Later in 2021, I transitioned to a Fortune 500 company with a 40% hike. My package included a 54.5 LPA base, 10.8 LPA variable, and a 6+6 LPA joining bonus, totaling 71.3 LPA.

In 2024, my work in Gen AI and NLP, along with some blogs I published, caught the attention of a Google recruiter. In November 2024, I joined Google as an L5 engineer. My package includes a 58 LPA base, 4 LPA retirals, an 8.7 LPA bonus (15%), stocks worth 52 LPA vesting monthly, and a 7 LPA joining bonus.

From 3.3 LPA to a comprehensive package of over 130 LPA, this journey reflects the power of upskilling, persistence, and seizing opportunities at the right time!
