Hi. I'm a fresher who joined Persistent Systems this year. Currently I'm aligned to a React- Redux position, but the project also uses Node.js, AWS for the back-end.
However, I feel my salary is kinda low considering the industry standard, but all the experienced folks I know, say "Don't look at the salary during initial phase.."
Can anyone explain why? Doesn't the current CTC play a part while a switch?
Also, what should prepare now for a 100-200% switch after like an year or two?

Currently the market is good, learn nodejs and backend. Then you can apply as full stack developer, that will earn you good hike

Yup. I've started with Node, Express.js 🤟❤️

It is good that your project is using other trendy technologies and seems you have the opportunity to learn those. I would suggest you not ask for money as of now. Utilize this opportunity to learn everything, so that you can highlight it in your resume. Yes Current CTC matters while switching company but Skills with experience matter most.
