One rapidly increased his salary from a Rs 15,000 internship to a Rs 25 lakh package within 2.5 years through skill development and job changes. Another quit a Rs 33 lakh per annum job without a backup offer due to workload stress, later accepting a Rs 29 lakh work-from-home role for better work-life balance.
