Since the recruitment boom, I see a lot of questions with LPAs here. Stressing me out a lot! Anyone facing a similar issue?

My YOE = my LPA. How bad is this?

I was switching very frequently, fourth company in my 4 years of experience, my current CTC is 21 LPA
On the other hand, my collegue from my first company didn’t switch at all, had a word with him 6 months back, his CTC was 5 lpa, he was stressed out after hearing my CTC and seeing current market trend.
I advised him to skill up and switch, guess what, He learned data engineering, grabbed multiple offers and finally joined fractal for 25 LPA

So it’s never too late, it’s your own clock, it works according to you.

Wow, this is awesome! Great inspiration right here.

Other comments have given u the answer I think. Don't be stressed. Everybody has their own clock of life. Brush up your skills, apply for as many jobs as possible. Maybe the first interview will get u rejected but learn from it. You will surely crack the next or the next. Good luck !

Depends on ur YOE. If it's less than 3 or 4 . Still managable... But if it's more than 5.. try to skill up and switch.. atleast try to get yoe *1.5

You just need a switch bro and you can get 100-150% hike. Even more..

Don't stress. Just try to find a new opportunity. Switching will probably give you an instant hike and bring you closer to where you should be.

You can probably get more. Maybe not as much as everyone on here shows, but definitely more.

Why is it stressing you out?

In these times you can get max of CTC = 10 times your yoe.

Recruitment boom or not, being a mid senior level employee, I am yet to meet someone in person (of similar YOE) with more than 5x package.

What’s wild about GME’s current valuation is that they can just issue equity and payoff all their debt now (recall this company was almost filing for bankruptcy)...
