Your salary is not the only thing that decides your career growth.

I’ve seen people with decent salaries stay at the same level for years because their role stopped teaching them anything.

Then there are people earning less initially but getting better projects, more responsibility and exposure to different teams.

After 4–5 years, the difference becomes pretty obvious.

One thing I’ve learned from career counselling is this:

Don’t only ask “How much will this job pay me?”

Also ask “What will this job make me capable of doing 2 years from now?”

Sometimes the better career move is not the one with the highest salary today.
