"Career Progression Insights Needed: Is My Growth on Track?"
Hi All,
I started my career in May 2022 with a CTC of ₹4.5 LPA at the age of 21. After 8 months, I received a promotion, and my revised CTC became ₹5 LPA.
In April 2024, I switched jobs with a CTC of ₹5.7 LPA at the age of 22. Now, I am planning another job switch in January 2024, role as Management Trainee at an MNC, aiming for an estimated CTC of ₹6.7 to ₹7.2 LPA.
I wanted to know if this progression is fair and aligns with market and industry standards for my field. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

You're on the right track financially, but I will suggest you to set a goal or something like that and switch roles / org in a way that with each step you're one or more step closer to your goal. Also, try to upskill yourself. Learn a lot, even if you feel like something is not necessary to know, but you have the time to learn it, then go for it. Every bit of knowledge will be handy in one way or the other.
