Kind of scary that we are all living a lifestyle thats dependent on a salary that could be taken away from us at ang moment.....

Financial independence should be the goal. A higher salary should be seen as only a means to that, not the end itself.

Speak for yourself. If I got laid off today I could survive a handful of years with my current lifestyle without having to make any changes. Have you not been saving money every paycheck your whole career??

Fishbowl ain't your target audience with all the Accounting/Finance/Tech people here that are frugal compared to what they earn. I'm driving a 2015 Mazda 3 I bought cash while earning 6 figures, and my savings/investments could last me about 5 years if I ever get to live Great Depression 2.0.

Hi fish,

Kindly consider this as most confused situation of my life and reply.

Does a non-tech PMO candidate can also achieve 30-50 LPA in just 5-6 years of experience as you technical people are achieving.

Please also suggest, should I continue in this PMO and go for PMP, Prince2 then try or just learn some technical things and then can only expect this much package?
