Imagine two graduates getting their first job on the same day.Both are equally smart.

Both work equally hard.Both earn roughly the same salary.Fast forward 15 years.One of them becomes financially independent, builds an incredible network, and is sought after by every company in the industry.

The other is stuck, worried about layoffs, struggling to get promoted, and wondering where things went wrong.What caused this difference?

According to Ashwin DameraHarvard Business School graduate and Founder of Emeritus the answer has very little to do with your first salary and everything to do with the career decisions you make in the years that follow.In fact, Ashwin argues that your first salary can become a ₹3.6 crore trap if it pushes you to optimize for short-term income instead of long-term career capital.In this episode, we break down:
