A 37-year-old Indian professional has shared how his net worth grew from around Rs 1 crore to Rs 7.5 crore in three years after he moved to the Middle East for a management consulting job. He shared details of his career, salary and savings in a Reddit post titled ‘From ₹1 Cr at 34 to ₹7.5 Cr at 37: My Middle East Consulting Journey’.

He said he has an engineering degree and an MBA from top Indian institutions and now works for a leading management consulting firm.

His Career Started With A Rs 10 Lakh Salary

The man said he began working at 22 as a graduate trainee with a salary of Rs 10 lakh per year. After completing his MBA, he moved into management consulting at 26, earning Rs 25 lakh annually. At 29, he switched to an industry job with a Rs 40 lakh yearly package.

Over the next five years, his pay rose to Rs 65 lakh. During this period, he built a net worth of around Rs 1 crore through investments in EPF, gold, stocks and real estate.

His Move To The Middle East Changed His Finances

At 34, he returned to management consulting and took up a job in the Middle East. He said the move brought a major jump in his earnings, with his compensation rising to around Rs 3.5 crore, or about $400,000, on a tax-free basis.

“At the age of 37 now, I have saved close to ₹6.5 crore (in the last 2.5 years) and grown my net worth to around ₹7.5 crore," he wrote. He also shared details of what he owns.

According to his post, he has three fully paid properties in Mumbai, around 700 grams of gold through physical holdings and Sovereign Gold Bonds (SGBs), and about Rs 30 lakh invested in equities. He said his next goal is to put more money into his equity portfolio.

Reddit Users Praised His Financial Journey

The post drew praise from several Reddit users, with many saying his career and savings were motivating.

“Thanks for the motivation brother," a user wrote. Another commented, “Wonderful journey, OP! I am certain you really must have slogged your a** off to reach where you are."

A person said, “Middle east is honestly a cheat code for wealth creation." An individual asked, “Hey can u highlight how u managed to switch countries and how can we do that early in career."
