"Career Progression Insights Needed: Is My Growth on Track?"

I'd suggest focusing on skills development and getting relevant certifications. This will not only boost your market value but also help you negotiate better packages in your next role.

You've made some solid progress in your early career. Are you happy with your work-life balance ? Are you gaining new skills and responsibilities ?

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.

If your package is equal to (Years of Experience multiplied by 2.5 or 3) then you are doing pretty good. At the same time if there is nothing new to learn in your current company go ahead for a change. The calculation of package mentioned above is not a hardcore rule but a way to measure your compensation progress. If your company offers great learning opportunities, lower stress, and overall satisfaction, staying might make sense even with a slightly lower package.

I am not against switching job but you are switching for peanuts. Try and upskill and switch for 100% or 200%. Or else it's going to end up look bad on your resume. I know HR who would just throw away such resumes.

Few things: 1)Switching within less time period is not good.Hrs will mostly dont consider your profile as they think you will leave early.Stay 1.5-2 years in once company.Unless situation has become worse dont switch. 2)The amount you get as a hike is not a hike.Its literally the same amount.No much big difference.Aim for a higher hike that too only fixed pay.Dont accept variable pay.It is no good.Based on that offer you can keep searching and ask for counter offers. 3)Within first 10 years gain as much as salary hike possible.After that its tough to match your salary for hrs in general so they wont offer much hike 4)Thouroghly research about work environment before joining.Dont join toxic environment. Its not worth it.Its not good for your mental health. 5)Unless u get a offer dont put resignation.dont take unwanted risk
