What are the biggest lessons you have learned in the corporate world?

I started my career in e-commerce with a product listing and stock management, earning ₹6K per month. After a year, I transitioned into organic social media marketing, managing daily content for brands for over two years (₹20K per month).

Then came my leap into paid media, where I spent 3+ years honing my skills. I worked my way up from:
🔹 Executive – ₹28K/month (Joined)
🔹 Assistant Manager – ₹43K/month
🔹 Manager – ₹53K/month (Left)

Recently, I took on a new challenge as a Senior Executive in a different organization, now earning ₹65K/month.

Looking back at my 5-6 years of experience, I see a journey of continuous learning and growth. But as I move forward, I wonder if I am on the right path am I earning the right money?

Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

CTC - 8 LPA
Loc - Bengaluru, India
I have been working in the same company for the last 5 years. My salary went from 3.6 LPA to 8 LPA over the years. I recently put papers, and, started giving interviews. I got an offer from TCS for 15 LPA(12.8 fixed). For more than a month, I've been giving interviews, asking for 18 LPA and many HRs are rejecting straight away, citing it is more than 100% hike from my current CTC. I kept trying and now I am selected for 5 companies - Iris Software, Capgemini, Quantzig Analytics, PwC, HCL, Infinite. Salary discussions are about to start and I'm confused. I'm not good at this. Can anyone suggest?

Career Advice

I'm presently working with Cognizant at a package of 5.08 LPA remotely with almost 4 yrs of experience in  Service Desk.Recently I've received an offer from HCL as a Senior Analyst at a package of 7.2 LPA in Service desk domain but it would be 5 days work from office .

I feel that the package is a bit low in HCL as I would be working from the office all days of the week.And also I might be due for promotion in Cognizant in March 2025 which might raise my package to 7 LPA

There's also a 12 month service-bond agreement with HCL

Kindly advice on what I'm supposed to do
Thank You
