What is the best career advice for a software developer to earn higher total compensation?

Here's a few things I think are important.

Switch companies, but not too often. Try to move after getting a promotion or finishing a project. It shows you complete things, and you get rewarded for your efforts. But you do need to switch companies to maximize compensation. Otherwise you're paid what it takes to keep you, not what it would take to acquire you (which is generally higher).

Don't quit your job before you have a new one. Your existing position and compensation let you negotiate from a position of strength, and look more desirable in a candidate.

Interview with at least two companies when moving. Ideally you want offers from both companies, and for each to be aware you're interviewing elsewhere. You'll get a better initial offer, and they'll be more willing to negotiate.

Be good at your job, and get results. You want people to know you as 'that guy who always makes progress and gets things done.' That's the sort of person who gets recommended when someone who knows you moves and is asked "who else should we be recruiting?"

Network. Networking gets you presented with opportunities you wouldn't have otherwise. It won't usually get you a job you don't deserve, but it WILL move you to the front of the line for being evaluated. You don't have to be a social butterfly, just take the time to get to know the people you work with, be helpful, and learn about what they're doing - which are all good things to do anyways.

Be willing to relocate. If you want to follow the almighty dollar, you may need to do some moving around for the best opportunity in each case.

Don't forget to enjoy your career and your life while you're doing this.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Increasing skill sets alone is of little use if you cannot market them. Market your skill sets. Two things to keep in mind here:

 a) Invest in skill sets that will pay. No use learning something just because you like it. Learn something for which companies are willing to pay top dollar.

b) Certifications - Get certified in things for which there will be a long-term demand. Not many developers do this. Build a diverse portfolio here. Just don't do all your certifications in Java for example.  Something like Scrum, Salesforce, and AWS is a good mix.

2) Look at your colleagues who are 10+ years older than you and ask yourself if you want to be doing the same stuff they are doing today. If the answer is no, find out what you need to do differently so as not to land in the same position as theirs ten years from now.


3) Read, Read, Read: Readers are Leaders / Leaders are Readers.

 4) Confidence:  This was something I lacked a few years ago, mainly because of my own technical shortcomings. After having followed steps 1 through 3 above, over the years I seem to have (unconsciously) developed a sense 'dont give a crap' about my job security.

Don't get me wrong. I try to have the humblest attitude at work. But i think when you lose the fear of losing and know that the world's your oyster, people will respect that.

I politely declined their initial offer at first. But they liked me so much they went out of their way to finally give me more than what i asked for. Lesson learnt - a humble attitude combined with  no sense of fear of losing can be a lethal (and a very rewarding) combination.

நாலரை மணிக்கு விழிப்பு. ஒன்றரை மணி நேரம் வாக்கிங். வாக்கிங் இல்லாத நாட்களில், வீட்டிலேயே எட்டு வகையான யோகா. ராத்திரி ஒன்பது மணிக்குக் கட்டாயம் தூங்கப் போய்விடுவேன்.

பேரக் குழந்தைகள்தான் சுறுசுறுப்புக்குக் காரணம். காலை 7.20 பெசன்ட் நகர் சூர்யா வீட்டுக்குப் போய், பேத்தியை பிக்கப் பண்ணி, ஸ்கூல்ல கொண்டுவிடுவேன். திரும்பி வந்து 8.45க்குப் பேரனைக் கொண்டுபோய் ஸ்கூல்ல டிராப் பண்ணுவேன். தனிமை, மனஅழுத்தம்னு சொல்றவங்க, குழந்தைகளோட நேரம் செலவழிச்சா, சந்தோஷம் தானா வந்துடும்.

நிறைய சிறுதானியங்கள் சாப்பிடுறேன். காலையில் சிறுதானியக் கஞ்சி, ஆவியில் வேகவைச்ச ஏதாவது ஒரு டிஃபன். லஞ்சுக்கு மூன்று சப்பாத்தி, நிறையக் காய்கறி, வரகு அரிசி சாதம் ஒரு கரண்டி. சாயங்காலம் பப்பாளி, மாதுளை, பாதி ஆப்பிள். இரவுக்கு இரண்டு இட்லி, ஒரு தோசை, இடியாப்பம் தேங்காய்ப்பால்னு லைட்டா சாப்பிடுறேன். டீ, காபி குடிக்கிறது இல்லை. நிறையத் தண்ணீர் குடிக்கிறேன்.

மனசை லேசா வைச்சுக்க நிறையப் புத்தகங்கள் வாசிக்கிறேன். சொற்பொழிவுக்குத் தயார் பண்றது, எழுதறதுனு என்னை எப்பவும் பிஸியா வைச்சுக்கிறதால சோர்வு பக்கத்திலயே வர்றது இல்லை

நானே முழுப் பொறுப்பு

அடுத்தவர்கள் மீது பழிபோடுவதிலும் உடன்பாடு கிடையாது. எங்கே தவறு நடந்தாலும் அதன் விளைவுகளுக்கு நானே முழுப் பொறுப்பு. அதிர்ஷ்டம் என்ற போலியான வார்த்தை என் அகராதியிலேயே கிடையாது. நான் என்ன செய்கிறேனோ, அதன் பலனே எனக்குத் திரும்பக் கிடைக்கும்.

What is the difference between a lion and a deer?

The deer gets up in the morning, because he is feeling bored, and lazy. He is not hungry (maybe horny); clueless about what will happen with his fate. He wanders along.. confused.

Later in the day, he will run for sure; but not for fun, he will run to save his life.
The lion can gets up anytime, and if he gets up, its because he is hungry. Very hungry.. Boredom and laziness are the last things on this mind.. He needs food, and he will do everything & anything to get that.

He stretches, he roars, he gallops forward, with fire in his eyes, and hunger in his belly.. He is determined, focused, he is fast, and furious.

Later in the day, he will run for sure; not for fun, but he will run to hunt, to kill and to survive another day.

7 Things Really Successful People Do Quietly - Motivation and Inspiration

We all want to believe we have the potential to be super successful. When it comes down to it, the prime thing that separates successful people from the rest of us are smart decisions. A common pitfall on the way to success is boasting, exaggerating, or losing your perspective. However, by changing the way we approach challenges, we can better position ourselves to attack the next obstacle successfully.

They Network
One thing truly successful people do quietly is network. In the professional world, networking is a balance between corporate interests and personal relationships. This means that overwhelming your new connections with business concerns can easily work against you. Not only that, but advertising far and wide your intentions to network could lead to new connections catching wind of your business strategy. This often makes people feel as if the have bee used and will impede your ability to form meaningful connections.

They Start New Projects
Successful people also start new projects with humility. Whether a new undertaking is at home or work, if your project is ultimately shelved, postponed, or changed, advertising your new undertakings too early could make you look foolish. That and bragging too much about new opportunities can be a tempting setting in which to lampoon your current or old positions. Don’t forget that mocking your previous positions is nothing more than ego run amok. Nearly everyone starts off small, and making fun of this will likely alienate those beneath your position.

Additionally, being too open about fresh projects could give competitors inside information and allow them to offer competing products or services that are better than yours.

They Deal With Challenges
Other things successful people do modestly is conquer challenges. Much like being too open about upcoming projects, giving away too much information about the challenges you’re currently facing might give competitors an extra edge. Not only that, challenges and assignments tend to look more intimidating while you are dealing with them; and seeming too stressed out or swamped could make you appear less capable, especially if your boss, or future employers, are considering you for a project. If you complain widely regarding feeling overwhelmed, you may miss out on a new opportunity or promotion.

They Incubate Ideas
Successful people also know to consider ideas quietly. Even if an idea you have leads to a successful project or venture, it usually takes time to refine a concept before it makes any sense. In addition, competitors are happy to steal ideas from others, so it’s better to quietly sit on a plan until you’re putting it into practice.

They Interact Socially with Humility
Much like networking, interacting socially is something successful people do quietly. Flaunting accomplishments and opportunities is off putting and abrasive. Additionally, nobody appreciates it when somebody habitually drops names. Basically, treat everyone you interact with as equals and value and foster humility.

They Manage Employees Ethically
Another way successful people become and stay successful is by managing any employees under them privately and with respect. Employees always prefer when their superiors communicate with them in private. This way you avoid potentially embarrassing someone in front of others and preserve a professional atmosphere.

They Invest
Finally, something potential successful people do quietly is invest. Whether you are investing in real estate or stocks, giving away all your personal details can come off as crass if the people you’re sharing this with are not as financially secure. Additionally, giving away too much information about your investments is another way to give competitors information they can use to further their pursuits.

I need a salary of at least 25 LPA in the next 10 years. What should I do? | Inspiration and motivation

I started with 1.68lpa, despite graduating from an IIT *:)*,  about 11 years back. Now, I make USD10k( ~7lac/month) per month in India.

This is what I did

> Took hard decision. 90% of the people will not dare to take unconventional decisions

> Chalked out a plan about how I can excel in programming

> Executed my plan with utmost sincerity

> Worked my ass off

When I joined my first employer, I did not respect software development. In fact, I did not know what programming was. Everybody I knew was in a hurry to get into management. Like everybody else, I also wanted to chuck coding to become a manager. Wrote CAT multiple times. Scored a decent 98.5percentile once. Applied only to IIM A, B, and C. So, no luck. Decided to write GMAT. Scored a 730. Applied to all top notch B-schools. One question that made me think was

"What matters to you the most and why?"

I am still trying to find an answer to this question. If you apply to GSB Stanford, you will need to write an answer to this question.

Received selective feedback from Tuck school of Business, Dartmouth. I was encouraged to apply again. Since I wrote all my MBA application myself without any help, I realised that there was nothing I was reasonably good at. I wanted to be good something. So, I decided to find what I would love to do for the next 40 years.

Quit my job. I was being paid quite well by this time. Read a lot of books. Decided to take on programming. I was ashamed of myself that it had been six years since I graduated, but I could not call myself a good programmer.

It has been six years since I started learning to code. I work on super interesting algorithmic problems. Companies have started to take notice of my work. Google, Tower Research, and Amazon have invited to interview at any point in future. So, it is literally in my hand to decide when do I want to take interviews with them.

Somebody wise once told me that If you become exceptional at anything, you will make a fortune. I totally believe in it now.

I would suggest you to find something you can keep doing with a smile over the rest out your life. Do not make money your end goal. Do not judge a job by how much it will pay you. Do what you love.

Don't get swayed away by what other people are doing. My batchmates have figured out their name in Forbes 30 under 30. Some are paid incredibly well. I adore them. I do not want to become like them. I do not want to do what they are doing. Discover yourself.

Have a plan. Work towards a goal.

You should have a clear answer to

"What matters to you the most and why?" , and

"How far will you go to realise you dreams?"

Edit:

Let me elaborate my plan:

> I read a lot about industry trends and research

> I figured out what would be hottest skill in the years to come

> I did a lot of mathematics

> I invested heavily into learning theoretical computer science

> I worked tirelessly to learn complicated algorithms related to graphs, trees, number theory, algebra etc. I learned maths behind everything e.g. I went through Diestel's book on graph theory, which presents a pure mathematical perspective on graphs.

> I worked so hard that I slept 24-30 hours in a week

> I worked for nothing on some projects. But, the intensity of my efforts was not less in those projects. I worked straight 48hours to meet timelines.

> I invested heavily on books. These are some of the books that I bought during the last three years:

There are more shelves full of books. And, I have a kindle too :P. I did not hesitate to buy a book even if it cost me 20k. I invested my savings on these books. I was not earning like I do now. So, don't hesitate to buy a book. Even if you end up reading one chapter, it will increase your knowledge.

> I have to read many technical papers to finish a project. Since I have read a lot, I can understand these papers

A typical expression that I encounter during my work often. BTW, this expression is related to automata theory. If you understand theory of computation, you will understand the notation and meaning different symbols carry. You will find such expressions in Natural Language Processing Algorithms.

PS: I have not written this answer to prove a point. I am not trying to say that I am better than anybody. I have shared my journey so that more people understand the need to discover themselves.

My post is not about programming, it is about finding a true meaning in what we do for a living. We should enjoy every moment we work. We should be proud of what we are. We should not be defined by how much do we earn.

I could have shared my identity. I don't want undue attention. I want people to take the message. That's it.
