Conversation Starter
My dad's a senior software architect getting 35 lpa for 18 years work experience in cognizant. His tech stack is AEM and he has worked on angular and Java Projects as well. Since he is getting underpaid a lot ... Hopefully someone can refer him Adobe or some product companies. Even service company with good pay also is acceptable

Have conversations with your manager that you do want to move into a leadership role and if that includes staff management or other opportunities. A good manager knows of opportunities before you do and what it takes to get in their shoes.
But remember, even with all the extra opportunities to show that you are looking to progress with the company, remember that you are paid for 40 hours a week for your time.
Don’t be like me and work 60-80 hours to prove yourself and be paid for only 40 of them. Know what you are capable of completing in those 40 hours (80/20 principle).
In addition to excelling in your current role; observe, listen, and absorb everything going on around you at work. Start to key into the activity above you and, assuming you have a mentor, ask them questions about the company and the business.
Mentor
If you don’t yet have a mentor, try to find a woman in a position you desire to be in farther in the future and see if she would be willing to mentor you and share how she got to where she is. If she isn’t (not everyone is a good mentor or wants to be a mentor), then try to find a guy that is an ally (they do exist) that would do something similar.
If your company offers free trainings, sign up for as many as you can.
I would first sortout what you mean by "girl boss". Map that out to concrete goals. Will help you better visualize and strategize what that looks like in terms of actions and goals.
Learn how to use unofficial influence to get results and help others be successful at work without having direct reports or a fancy title. This can help you be seen as influential, results driven, and able to develop others.
What are some of your favorite things to do? You don’t have to niche, especially if you are multi passion. Try bundling the things you like to do and make it make sense for you and the consumer. 😉
Pay attention and learn from those that paved the way.
Surround yourself with other girl bosses in your industry. Find a mentor who is willing to show you the ropes. Ask questions and start to show your leadership skills even now in the position you are in!
