Taking to Instagram, Kshitiz Kumar shared a video in which he spoke about the decisions that can hold professionals back financially.

From staying in the same company for too long to becoming too comfortable in a job, Kumar said employees need to keep improving their market value if they want their salaries to grow. “Your salary grows when your market value grows,” it added.
“Don’t make these five mistakes if you want to make money in a job: Staying too long in one company: Loyalty doesn’t pay; the market pays you extra.
Not learning new skills: Brother, your degree doesn’t decide it; which skill you know decides your new salary,” he said.
