Advise on career switch

Currently working as a supply chain executive in a top-tier Japanese MNC. I joined as a fresher through campus placement. Salary - 4.5 LPA CTC. I am an MBA in International Business from Tier 3 college. I want to transition into more analytics/IT. Before my new job, I will learn new tools for me to enter into the analytics basic domain. Please consider that even where I am in my career, I still want to change fields. Will my work experience help in a new domain? What salary can I expect? I have heard that no matter the new post. The salary depends on the last salary drawn + normal salary hike in market even though you change industry/domain/profile/skills. Is it true? Can't I jump from 4.5 LPA to 8-12 LPA (approx)., if I try through referral, I have good communication skills, soft skills,etc. If yes, how to negotiate? Any advice or resources for advice will be greatly appreciated! Thank you to everyone on the Ambition box 😊

A Team Lead

IMO, Start with small wins, like working on projects or freelancing. A proven portfolio can significantly boost your chances and salary potential.

a team manager

The salary hike is not fixed, but don't be afraid to negotiate.
