For corporate employees, the months of April, May, and June are especially crucial. Many are busy filling out their KRAs (Key Result Areas) and eagerly awaiting promotions, designation changes, or a 30-40% salary hike. On the other hand, another common route to a significant salary increase is switching companies, where it's not uncommon to see a 60-70% raise, or even 100% in lucky cases. But what if we tell you where one Job switch has caused a 700% hike. Don't believe us! Read the story below.. A young tech professional from Delhi set social media abuzz after sharing his incredible journey: from starting out at Rs 5.5 lakh per annum with IBM just a year ago to now landing a Rs 45 lakh package. Sharing a post on X(previously Twitter), the man wrote, 'Never mentioned it but tbh, I still sometimes think I am still in a dream, bcoz I started my full time career last year at IBM with just a CTC of 5.5 LPA, and now having an offer of over 45 LPA CTC in hand within an year, for a middle class guy like me, it's still a dream❤️.' The user, identified as Devesh through his social media handle, described this remarkable achievement as 'still a dream.' The viral post has left the netizens in shock and amazement. The post was posted on May 27, 2025. Devesh's comment section is now flooded with congratulatory messages, a million questions, and words of admiration from people eager to know more about his journey. A user wrote, 'in an span of 1 year how does that feel ?' Devesh replied, 'Proud of myself.' Later in the post, Devesh emphasized that early-career professionals should prioritize gaining experience over chasing high salaries. 'In starting of your career, prioritize job over money. If you are not getting good package, just enter with low and work so hard that you take a massive jump,' he wrote. Never mentioned it but tbh, I still sometimes think I am still in a dream, bcoz I started my full time career last year at IBM with just a CTC of 5.5 LPA, and now having an offer of over 45 LPA CTC in hand within an year, for a middle class guy like me, it's still a dream❤️. — Devesh (@theywayshhh) May 26, 2025 Devesh also responded to skepticism about the scale of his salary jump. He wrote, 'Those people who have a doubt like how is it possible to directly jump from CTC like Rs 5–6 LPA to Rs 45 LPA the MAANG or FAANG companies have their base pay and CTC preset. So it's similar for everyone. They won't judge you on your previous pays.' According to his LinkedIn profile, Devesh Kumar studied at Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology, where he earned a Bachelor of Technology (BTech) degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE). He worked at IBM as an application developer in March 2024.

RERA office being shifted to Dharamshala: HP govt in HC affidavit
The state government on Monday told the Himachal Pradesh high court through an affidavit that the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) office was being shifted to Dharamshala to congest Shimla, and it needed time to complete the formalities. The affidavit was submitted by principal secretary (housing) Devesh Kumar to the division bench of chief justice GS Sandhawalia and justice Ranjan Sharma during resumed hearing of a petition challenging a six-month extension granted to chief secretary Prabodh Saxena, filed by one Atul Sharma. The court had questioned the government on the delay in appointments of the RERA chairperson and two members. The case will now be heard on June 20. HC issues notice to CS Saxena The high court issued notice to Saxena. The petitioner contended that the extension was given in violation of the Central Services Rules and guidelines of department of personnel and training (DoPT). The petitioner argued that vigilance clearance can't be granted to an officer who is nominated in a corruption case. The petition pointed out that a chargesheet had been filed before Saxena was granted the extension, Saxena was chargesheeted in the infamous INX Media scam, in which then Union finance minister P Chidambaram and his son Karti are also named as accused. Saxena served as the director of the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) between April 2008 and July 2010. Saxena was considered frontrunner for the RERA chairperson post, but the selection committee, headed by the high court chief justice, had raised objection to his candidature.
