The post said, “HARD TRUTH: Switching jobs is the only way to reach high salaries. In most Indian companies, the internal appraisal is a joke. Even above-average engineers hardly get a double-digit hike % If you’re underpaid, don’t overthink, just Switch!”

“The HARD TRUTH is, if you start your career with a Low Salary, you will have to switch jobs to reach High salary. (as a Software Engineer) The HARD TRUTH is, Internal appraisals are very low. The internal promotion process is broken. (in most companies) low_appraisal% of low_salary = new_low_salary”, the post added.

The post further said, “If you start with a low salary, switching jobs gets you much more salary hikes! That’s the reason you will see a lot of highly paid software engineers (who started from a low salary) must have switched jobs frequently.”

“So, If you’re stuck in a low paying job, and have tried to get a raise or a promotion and FAILED, consider Switching your job! SALARY is as important as GOOD WORK Lastly remember, `If you’re underpaid, it’s YOUR fault”, it added.

“Cheers, Akshay Saini DISCLAIMER: Only switch your job if you really are underpaid. Don’t be GREEDY. PS. `Greed has no cure`”, the post concluded.
