Mba —> top investment bank (evercore / Moelis/ etc.). You’ll probably hit $500k in 5 years (2 years mba and 3 years to vp) if you don’t care about your work life balance.

Start dealing and building up your line

Are you C1? Total compensation for first year MD could be less or at $400k. So you need to get accelerated progression and early promotion non-stop

Start preparing for sleepless nights. Unless you are a software engineer @ google, you need to be selling

Build a business that sells something worth buying

Lol

As stated above the only ways to get there that quickly are to be a kick ass programmer at FAANG or to get into banking tomorrow and work your way up

The journey line on the critical method doesn't pass go unless you start at a 30,000 ft view

Entrepreneurship

Make partner in 5 years and sell a lot. You should easily make > 400k then. 😜

I am having offers from

EY India
Synechron
Altimetrik Corp.

The offer from EY India is very less and my joining is on 16th. I do not think negotiation will work at this point. Synechron & Altimetrik is offering far better pay than EY India. The difference is Close to 5L. Can anybody through some light here. I have a YOE of 4Y and tech stack- Java/MS/ React. EY is offering 10.5 fixed.

PS: For some reason, my heart is still says EY i don't know why :(
