I have 3.5 years of exp and salary is 4.5LPA. Now it's my first switch, I got 14 LPA, when I expected 13 LPA will be the most I can get. Like you, even I have many dreams, I want big house, a German car, super bikes, beautiful and loyal wife, a great watch collection and a healthy life. We weren't good by financially since I was a kid. Even now I'll think twice before spending something(I'm scared to back again). So, I wan to earn more, I want the peace of mind. I won't say you are wrong to think like that, that's what keeps us running. "Learn, keep on learning. Money will follow eventually" it's kinda true. Don't compare with anyone. We've struggled a lot to be here, sometimes it's good to look back and see how far we've come. Dream more, learn more, do more. This is what I'd tell old myself, who was lost just like you. All my friends owns cars, Buildings and a lot more. For that they've worked day and night, which I didn't do. So, let's work hard until the dreams come true.
