Career success is not about landing lucrative jobs with high salaries, but about continuous improvement. This is especially true during the formative years on the workforce. Redditor – a graduate of engineering 2024 – followed this philosophy, chose to grow over financial security and showed that the skills in the long term Trump salary.
Techie shared on social media that after providing a 10 LPA salary (lakh per year) as a classic ABAP developer – a programmer who designs, codes, tests and maintains applications in SAP – ongoing campus location, they found that the role lacks exposure to modern technologies such as Fiori and UI5.
With a three -year bond, the decision was not easy to leave, but the desire to become a full -fledged software development engineer (SDE) proved stronger.
“I am passing 2024, I got a job through the location of a 10 LPA campus and a three-year bond. I was assigned me as a classic developer Abap-No Fiori or UI5. I found my first job about skills, not money,” Redditor wrote.
The termination of work in September 2024 meant the beginning of an intense six -month grind, full of uncertainty, doubt and tireless learning. Although they asked for different roles, no interviews were fulfilled – until March 2025, when the opportunity finally knocked. The medium company offered Java Full Stack Developer with a 5 LPA-half-half position of the previous package, but without a bond and more importantly, a steep learning curve.
Now, as a junior developer in a decisive project, the decision to prefer skills over salary is paid. Challenges are difficult, but also determination of growth. “If I stayed in my previous role, I would be stuck in the office gossip without real learning. Here, at 5 LPA, I am in a real developer,” says the young engineer.
The post gains a massive traction on social media, and some of which are applauding the efforts of the Redditor and share similar stories in the Comments section.
The user wrote: “I got into a very good IT company from a college where I did my internship, but I knew I didn’t want to work there. So after 6 months, while most people were left in the organization, I left and studied for 6 months.
After 6 months I got a job with half CTC, which was offered after my internship. I took it and after 4 years I earn more than people who stayed back – and I’m skilled. ”
Another said, “Exactly! Focus on learning and growth. I am currently in a company that pays 12 LPA (2024 passages), I do WordPress. I felt stuck, but I didn’t have a better option and wanted to prevent career.
And yeah, “compare yourself to yourself” – it takes places. ”
The third user considered: “This is not practical for many middle -class Indians. I would prefer 10 LPA over career growth.”
