Overview

• A 23-year-old Bengaluru software developer shared that after rising from an ₹18,000-per-month internship to earning ₹24 LPA he used his savings and a home loan to buy his first property at age 23.
• He has set a new target of reaching ₹50 LPA by the end of the year and plans to launch his own business.
• A separate Reddit post by a 35-year-old web developer detailed his climb from a ₹5,000 monthly salary in 2013 to a ₹46 LPA Engineering Manager role at the same company by mid-2025.
• The 35-year-old’s family has purchased five acres of land, built a house, and bought a car—milestones he attributed to his mother’s multiple jobs, his grandmother’s care, and his brother’s financial support.
• Both posts have garnered widespread admiration on Reddit and sparked conversations about social mobility, family sacrifice, and strategic career planning in India’s tech sector.
