Don’t Let a Low Package Stop You | BTech Tier 3 Reality 📈
Your Starting Package Does Not Define You 🚀
When I was in my final year of BTech, I got a job offer for 4 LPA. Meanwhile, my friends were landing packages of 7 LPA and 9 LPA. They used to flex on me, acting like they were better just because of their starting salary.
On top of that, I faced so many rejections simply because of my college and my 10th-grade marks. One company rejected me because they wanted 80% in 10th (I had 60%), and another company didn’t even email me back because they were only hiring CS students, not IT students. Two big opportunities slipped away just like that.
But I didn’t give up. I started my career with that 4 LPA job. I worked hard for four years in the market, switched through four different companies, and today, I am working at Adobe.
Here is the reality check:
To all those friends who flexed their starting packages—where are you now? You are still in your first company, comfortable with small appraisals, while those of us who kept hustling have moved far ahead.
Success is not a sprint; it’s a marathon. The people who win are the ones who don’t settle and keep running. If you are sitting with a 3.5 LPA job thinking your life is set, or if you are feeling bad about a low package, wake up!
I come from a Tier-3 college just like you. I am not a billionaire’s son; I had to hustle and struggle just like everyone else. If I can make it, so can you.
