This happens all the time. Universities very literally are not training you for a job as a software engineer. They are training you in the academic field of the science of computing.

In 2008, “1 crore*” package for a fresher in banking was the hot stuff. But it was an anomaly at the peak of a real estate bubble. And yet, many including me thought this was here to stay and planned our future lives around it. And when it all came down it was a rude awakening difficult to cope with. Honestly I thought my Ed loan will be done in 6 months. Took me 5 years. That was the magnitude of expectations vs reality I see the same now. Many people are basing their houses, cars, loans, EMIs etc assuming the salaries now are here to stay. Please do give a thought to “What if this is the peak of a zero interest rate policy and central bank printing bubble? Will these numbers stay?”
