I'm always intrigued at people's carriers and where exactly the inflection point was. Looking at Surojit's career, it went something like this:

BS in CS at Kharagput, something like a US T2 university

MS in CS at Buffalo, something like a T2 univeristy,

Spend some years at IBM and Oracle as a developer/senior developer 200k/year ?

MIT Sloan MBA T1 world class

PM/Senior PM at Symantec for a year 200-300k/year?

Head of Payment products India at Google, 8 years rising though the ranks 300-500k/year?, did an externship of 2 years at flipkart as SVP

Then back to google as a VP 500-1.5MM/year?

CPO at coinbase made 150 million.

It looks like he moved around, leveraging his title to get senior roles between start-up and well-established companies:

PM at small company to PM at big company,

Head of product at big company to SVP at startup

SVP at startup to VP at big company

VP of big company to C-suite at startup pre-IPO

Most of all, he got in on the crypto gravy train right in time for his options to balloon
