In this video, I discussed how i increased my salary and how you can increase your salary too. This career growth guide will help you get ahead in your career and avoid potential pitfalls early on. You can increase your salary with these methods I used and also get a high paying job if you work on these.
I started my professional journey right after my B.Tech at Accenture. My salary at Accenture was 17k per month or even 14k after the taxes. This continued for almost 6 months. I used to go to the office by 9 PM, play table tennis for a few hours, have lunch, and then play some table tennis, relax for a few hours, and then come back home. Anybody would love to take a 14k salary per month after only playing table tennis. But I was getting anxious that I was only playing table tennis and not learning anything on the job.
This was my first job and I didn’t know if my professional life was going to be just like this in the future as well. This is why I started applying to a few more jobs. And I got multiple rejections. I stumbled upon a small startup at that time known as Mu Sigma. It was a data analytics company. I had an interest or inclination towards the aptitude kind of questions. I got in and the salary was almost double. I was getting 28k per month but the work conditions were completely different. I had to work for 14 hours and on some days up to 18 hours.
But I got to learn a lot. I learned a lot about data and how it is used in making business decisions. My career learnings at Mu Sigma were the highest. I also got to work with Fortune 20 clients. I was also offered to work in the US with an H1-B visa. I was earning in dollars without having to spend anything in dollars. It was a positive ROI from the beginning. I was working in Seattle and the work conditions were much better. The work time wasn’t more than 8-10 hours. I liked the work I was doing. It rains in Seattle 9 out of 12 months so I didn’t quite enjoy the city.
Because I didn’t like the city I started applying for other jobs and got more than 300 rejections. However, I got a few interview offers and one of them was from McKinsey. So, went for the McKinsey interview. Most of my colleagues told me that since I was not from a great college in India let alone from a great university in the USA, my chances of getting selected were pretty slim. Because of this, I didn’t have a lot of stress during the interview. When I was asked to offer possible solutions or answers for a specific problem, I would tell one option and then another and then another until I ran out of answers. Lastly, I told the interviewer that if nothing helped, I would take their advice to solve a particular problem because they were the experts.
At Mu Sigma US my salary was $65,000 and after this, at McKinsey, my salary moved to $1,10,000. After learning a lot from my work at McKinsey US, I moved to INSEAD. I didn’t pay anything for my INSEAD MBA because McKinsey sponsored it for me. I had to come back and work at McKinsey for another 2 years but that is only fair because I was free of any education loans. After coming back to McKinsey my salary increased to $2,20,000 as I started working as an Associate there.
The first takeaway from this is that you should prioritize companies where you learn more over earning more in the early part of your career. The second learning is that you should have a specific skill that you must master. The third takeaway is to avoid taking loans in the early part of your career journey.

Great advice, Pavan. Placing the importance of learning before earning is so important & unfortunately many of us youngsters are more concerned about the financial package but not the growth/learning package that comes along with the job & whether the latter is actually worth it or not.
Make a detailed video on how to be a business analyst and how to get the job in good companies
Your life is a survivorship bias… don’t expect everyone’s to follow you or your life.
Exactly.
Hey but it’s not bad advice
It's time and opportunity along with skills. How many skilled professionals get US opportunities like you? Do you think your salary would have been 40x if you worked throughout in India. You are just lucky other than being skilled. I agree with your point to develop core skills and expertise at the initial stages of your career. It gives an edge over your peers. India has no labour laws and there is high exploitation of the middle class and lower middle segment Educated people are forced to compromise for lack of better options. More supply and less demand due to huge populations.

Hey pavan, what an insightful video.
Can you list some areas where we can build our expertise? Which will be lucrative in the near future.
Hi Pavan! Thanks for this insightful video, really helpful :) Request your guidance on how to start your career in the Data Analytics industry as a beginner? Which tools to learn/ which courses to take? (coming from non-tech background)
Thanks for the kind words:) This is what I would propose:
Start with data analysis. First recognizing trends, identifying outliers, data cleaning, and then doing basic regressions.
This itself can take you places!
Spend time with data. That should be your objective!
Use any tool. Excel/R/Python/Sas/Tableau doesn't really matter!
Very insightful.
Glad it was helpful:)
Well he was just lucky to have clicked at right time. Now lot of Indians have flooded the us market. Besides getting 65000 pa in us will be paid by any Indian company. Besides data analytics just helped him jump his career
Inspired☺
Respect to you, your dedication and hardwork
Thank you Rishi;)

Accenture salary 17k. Why was there 3k tax on that dear Sir 🙂 Till 5 LPA, there is no tax 😏
Misleading people with inflated salary numbers, please don't do it mate for your personal gains. Students take money from their parents.

What are u doing now ??
@@theanonymous111 I am working in Finance and accounting operations having an experience of 5 years
sir can BA candidate get into it sector . please help me out
Thank you for sharing your amazing and inspiring journey Pavan! I'm constantly up-skilling myself too ever since I joined Blue Chapters but I'm facing difficulty in developing an expertise in one skill probably due to distractions such as changing trends. Would appreciate if you can share any tips to tackle this problem.
Hi Prasanna,
That is a common problem that we all face. Drop a note to Blue Chapter email with your resume & I will respond!
65 k dollars per month???
@@Hrithik-pk2mq per annum bro.
Which year you started your job at Accenture
🙏🙏
I find it funny, some people compare salary from India with overseas salary just based on conversion rate. Its not right way of comparing salary. Earning 1cr in US and 25L in India, one can have a much better life in India. Pls dont misguide young generation. Not be fooled by numbers.
Good to know.What are u trying to prove||||
I understand the impact of gloomy weather totally wrecks your experience!
It was a killer for me!!
Hi sir I'm looking for a new job
Thanks but your career template might not be the same for others....
65000 dollars per month ? I thought basic salary is 65000 per annum
Hi Pavan. Thanks for sharing your experience. How can I connect with you for 1:1 consultation? I'm also working in Data Analytics space and looking forward to do international MBA!
Same here
Hello Pavan, I am CA with 18 years of experience with industry. I found this video very useful, can you please guide me about journey that I should take .
Do send your resume/LinkedIn & drop a note to info@bluechapter.com
I will respond.
Hey you mentioned 65K USD per month, I'm assuming its an year because per month is a lot of money. Please confirm
Yeah me too have that same doubt 110k per month?
Noo its p.a
What is he doing ‘here’
I want to be like sir.........................
this video added zero value, idk why youtube recommended me this.
One question were you really paying taxes at 17000/month 😂
You mentioned 65K usd per month in McKinsey? Is it per month or annual? Just curious! Rest the video is really insightful.
Same doubt
Per annum 😂
65k dollars per month, should be per year
What about freshers they don't see any cororna like you have seen which give you 5 times salary also old job gives you experience by which you grow easily if I was a 2019 passout I would have been join at 3.6LPA it would be nearly 15-18 LPA I think so
Maybe in old times it was easy to do that but now maybe difficult
As you are having very large experience than me I am just giving you my thoughts😅😅
Sir talk about these consulting firms quantum black bcg gamma etc which is acquired by McKinsey bcg companies
Please make a detailed video on these quantum black,bcg gamma etc
What these companies does
Hierarchy structure etc
You have worked in McKinney so you can know better
These companies are working in data domain
I was trusting every word you said to me until the point you said that your salary from Rs. 28000 Mu sigma in India transitioned straight to 65000 USD per month. What Bullshittt. Not even a CEO gets a salary hike of that sought.
Dude. That was a mistake. I was in the flow and did not realise. It was 65000 per year:)
You were just a lucky chap who got easliy what others dream off and did well in career and then give it all away to return back to India !! I dont know how much of uour decision to come back to India was helpful to you , It sounds good in bollywood movies to retrun back to homeland ! But Life in India is tough for People given the current scenario where Inflation and cost of living is super high with zero quality of Life and too poor Work Life Balance! I dont know why you wanted to retrurn back you could have taken American Citizenship and be an enterprenuer in US or Managed a team in India from US living there !!
Can you share some pointers to improve data analytics skill
I started with data analysis. First recognizing trends, identifying outliers, data cleaning, and then doing basic regressions.
This itself can take you places! Use any tool. Excel/R/Python/Sas/Tableau doesn't really matter!
i want to know how a guy who played TT and nothing productive at work made it to a start up company that time
You must have been working back in home to learn relevant skills and used to prepare for interviews surely
am i wrong? or how was it
It was because, I was preparing for CAT while in college & I was very good with Data Interpretation.
This is the exact skill that is required in a data analytics company. It was just the right match.
65k per month thats insane
It was per annum
Were did he go to study MBA...
Went to INSEAD
did he says 65k per month salary. may be its yearly
Yes and its in $
3:30 - 65k per month??? wow
He meant per annum
0:04 "I used to make 17k a month, which would be 14k after taxes"💀
You weren't even eligible to pay taxes so what were you yapping about bruh!
The Salary you mentioned $65000, per month??
That was a mistake:)
MBA not 80lakhs 80thousands
Very proud that you are a Telugu person
This is another classic example of survivorship bias.
$110000 Per month. .? ????😲😲
Abbe is stop believing this chutiya youtubers, you start to calculate PPP and you will be astonished to think that 17k in india is better than 100k yearly in USA! ek bar PPP check Kar liya Karo.
65000$ per month? At 03:40
It's per annum
Rs.17k per month and then 14k after taxes? When did givernment start taxing people with less than 250000Rs annual income? Which year was it. Or are you just making video to get views and giving all fake information here?
Dude, no reason to fake:) I didn't know the difference between Gross and Net. Salary was what I got in my bank account and everything else was a false promise by the company. in 2008. I have 15 years corp experience:)
That cut may be PF or retirement fund may be?
It's just raining privilege after another in this video😂
Your life story is not replicable
