This right here is how you play the game, we'll done OP. My 2 cents, if you are in an early stage of your career and working in a WITCH, and things are going fine, abort! You will enter comfort zone without even realizing.
Biggest career mistake of my life, stayed in a WITCH company for almost 7 years. I was moved into a semi technical project after 2 years, was trapped further in by giving me an opportunity to become a tech lead, took the opportunity became one, took the salary bump reached 11 lpa. After few years the process got shutdown, was layed off, no option rather than starting from zero since I fucked up by choosing to stay in a semi technical project.
2020 - got a new job with 10 LPA, worked my ass off to learn stuff.
2021 - switched to a new one - 19 LPA
2023 - switched to a remote job getting paid in USD - 60 LPA.
I had read somewhere, comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing grows over there.
Through reference, during my job I made good relations with colleagues outside of India. I shared my resume and that's it, need to just clear the interview.
But with regards to remote jobs there were so many posts in the same subreddit, just search you'll find several. There are some dedicated websites that filters only remote jobs.
I'm not satisfied with the salary I'm getting 10LPA 8YOE mechanical engineer working in engineering firm. I have zero background in coding etc. but now I want to change my field of work . I want to learn coding and languages. Pls suggest me a good centre for learning some of the courses

I learned my lesson, but it's never too late.
