15 LPA+ earners - what do you do?

[Manisha]

IT folks and CS grads, stay away. I'm a CS student and trying to explore options besides IT jobs for a good package.

[Kunal]

I want to know as well. Hitting 15 LPA+ without IT/Tech usually means Manager or Senior Manager roles, or Sales. I'm in Logistics.

[Subhash]

I run the FOSS United Foundation. I'm a physics graduate and spent eight years as a scientific software developer/consultant after college.

You should've filtered out finance and managerial positions too, but thanks for the post anyway.

[Anirudh]

I think design engineers and CFD engineers reach this package after a few years of experience. Does embedded count?

[Manav]

M.Des folks earn well if they work at top firms, but it usually requires another degree.

[Samar]

I was a Business Analyst at tech startups like Playsimple, Urban Company, Increff, etc. I left for a Big-4 tech consulting role, but now it feels like the wrong move.

[Darshan]

Scientific publishing.

[Menon]

Logistics handling.

[Michael]

IB and PE professionals do earn more than 15 LPA. Finance roles are hard to break into, but they pay more than most fields.

[Subhash]

Project management - you didn't include management roles.
