Yes its really everything is measure in terms of CTC drawn especially in IT industry.Nevertheless, speaking about career progression i would like to add that designation wise 1 can move ahead in the following fashion :
1.Software Executive (jr/Sr)
3.Team Lead
4.Project Lead
5.Project Manager.
Dunno where to go after PM level may be Program Manager or something else .But where does the Tech Arch fits in?And How about being CTO of an IT company?I would like to know wat additional qualification is required to be CTO of an IT company.
Leena,
Team Lead / Project Lead / Tech Arch all fall at the same level. So I would put it this way -
1.Software Executive (jr/Sr)
3.Team Lead / Project Lead / Tech Arch
4.Project Manager.
5. Group Head / Account Manager / DU Lead / Group Lead / Senior Manager
6. Director
7. VP / CTO / CIO / CXOs
8. CEO
9. Chariman
beyond Project Manager, qualifications are all managerial, interpersonal skills, relationship and lots of undocumented, ambigous qualities. SAB MOH MAYA HAIN
