We bring education and certain traits to our first job. That foundation drives roughly half of our career earnings. But what about the other half? That’s where 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 comes in—𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬, 𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐝𝐨𝐦, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞.
🔹 What are we 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 on the job that increases our value?🔹 How do we accelerate that 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 to get paid more, faster?
🔹 Are we making bold career 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 that push us forward?
This brings us to the "𝒅𝒐𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕"—how quickly do we double our initial salary? Are we keeping pace with peers or falling behind? If we’re lagging, what can we do to course correct?
In the US, a larger share of career earnings comes from 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
In India, career earnings rely more on 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 capital built over time.
For instance: In hospitality industry overseas people train their employees for a week or so and they are professionally ready to bear the title of their post but in India a certain level of education is requires event in hotel management to gain practical exposure, so its good to start early and explore opportunities to build experience capital.
As a student experience comes from college societies, internships, live projects. I advice all to explore the possible opportunities in college, events management, remote, part time projects and internship to develop and enhance the skills.
Will soon post more to this "Campus to Corporate Readiness Series"
