Today in India's tech ecosystem, if you ask *ANY*one, literally anyone, <5yrs exp, about what is the one thing they want to do to grow, 100% of them (including the Google engineers) say that they want to change jobs.
It is sad that we have over the last 1.5 years created a market where somehow everyone has FOMO. Everyone feels underemployed. 3yrs exp folks earning 50L found some outlier of an outlier on Blind earning $300k remote from India, and they now want that.
I am not saying when there is an open market, one should not look to optimise their net worth. But isn't it sad if you go out and do 100+ user interviews, mainly from highly aspirational companies, and 100% of them are looking to change jobs within 6 months.
No one. Literally *no one* says "I want to be a better software engineer".
Everyone wants a better job. Many even think they are underemployed, they deserve a job better than what they are in.

The disconnect in the industry in what it takes to get into a tech job and what it takes to work in one feeds exactly into this.
Ask people what they want to learn, <5yrs exp *everyone* wants to "crack interviews". No one wants to "learn to build better software."

All the best building a tech industry in this atmosphere. 🤷🏻♂️
