You need to generate revenue. It is extremely rare to have skills worth $300K per year.

Darn it. If we’re generating revenue and not making $300K, are we failures in life?

Open a learning center of hospice and get government funded. It's not as hard as it appears, you don't really need clients or an office.

Why base target and not TC?

For reference my base is 230k only and TC is $420K or so (in tech). I don’t think I’ll break 300K base before getting to $550K-600 TC this way

Again posting since my last post did not got attention. Wanted to ask whether it's good to switch to big 4 India advisory role from a mid tier organization dealing in tech and ops. Additionally, they offered just very low percentage on current CTC saying that I am coming to a big brand.
Plus my current financial situation is stressful and I accepted the offer on certain conditions but now hr or the firm but saying we can't committ you. Any suggestions.

I’ve previously been offered a position but at the time turned it down because I was pursuing a passion of mine. Any connections/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
