Wow ok that’s good to know. How do they decide if you come in as a Senior Associate vs Associate? How many years do you need to come in an Consultant?

Guys, I possess 8yrs experience in technical field/software development. I have done B.tech from tier-3 college & have worked mostly in service based MNCs.

I would like to know what would be the path if I would like to move to VP(technology)/CTO role in the long run.

As I have not done PG & even graduated from tier-3 college, are there any additional courses which can boost & add value to my profile?
