29M, Senior Manager earning 32 LPA — but Reddit is making me question my career
I’m 29M and currently working as a Senior Manager at an InsurTech company, earning around ₹32 LPA. I work from home and, objectively, I feel I’m doing reasonably well in my career.
But after spending some time on Reddit, I’ve started feeling really confused about where I stand.
I keep seeing posts from people who are 24–26 years old saying they’re earning ₹3–4 lakh+ per month, and comments saying things like “at least ₹3 lakh/month by 25–26” or that anything below that is low.
It has genuinely made me wonder — is everyone actually earning that much, or am I just seeing a very biased sample on Reddit?
I know people generally post their achievements more than their struggles, but when you see these posts repeatedly, it’s hard not to compare.
For someone who is 29 and earning ₹32 LPA, how would you realistically evaluate where I stand in the Indian job market?
Am I doing reasonably well, or am I actually behind where I should be?
Would appreciate honest opinions, especially from people who are around 27–32.
