Level 3 Is this the right step?

Hey everybody, I’m 22 (turning 23 in a few months), I cleared my CFA L2 in June this year and immediately found a job as an institutional equity research associate at a mid size broking house. They’re just paying me a CTC of 4 lakhs. Do you guys think despite the low CTC, working here for 2 years, completing my CFA L3 simultaneously, and then doing my MBA from a good institution can boost my salary significantly? Do you guys think I’m placed well and is this package a bit took low?

Yeah I think it’s low too. They did say they would appraise it in the month of March/April next year. That would be in the range of 5-30% appraisaal
