A Bengaluru woman boosts career with Ivy League degree, doubles salary upon returning to startup, story goes viral.
A Bengaluru woman has gone viral for her impressive career move. The woman, who felt undervalued at her startup, decided to take control of her future by quitting and pursuing a prestigious degree. I went on a date with someone who quit her job because, 'people were not taking her seriously', 'she was not getting promoted' only because she didn't have an Ivy League degree.She quit, got that Ivy degree, & joined THE SAME startup at 2.5x her previous pay. 🤺
According to Adithya Venkatesan, who shared the story on social media, the woman believed her lack of an Ivy League education was hindering her from promotions and recognition.
Venkatesan says the woman left the startup and enrolled in an Ivy League university. After graduating, she returned to the same company, but this time, she commanded a salary more than double what she was previously making. Venkatesan claims the increase was closer to two and a half times her original pay.
