Compensation Growth Across the Cohort, Not Just Top Performers: Bosscoder-B2K Analytics Report

Bosscoder Academy’s independently assessed Career Outcomes Report indicates that salary growth among its learners was broad-based across cohorts, rather than concentrated among a small group of top performers.

The report, evaluated by B2K Analytics, analysed career transitions of 1,400 working professionals across Software Engineering and Data tracks during the assessment period. The evaluation was conducted using documented compensation details, role transitions, and structured verification processes.

According to B2K Analytics, 91% of learners moved to new organisations with improved compensation. The transition rate stood at 92% for Software Engineering professionals and 87% for those in Data Science and Data Engineering.

Beyond headline transition numbers, the distribution of compensation growth highlights widespread progression. The median salary across cohorts doubled, reflecting consistent movement across experience levels. The average CTC moved from around ₹11 lakh per annum to nearly ₹20 lakh per annum.

Salary band analysis further indicates that around 40% of learners transitioned into the ₹10–20 lakh range, while over 20% moved into the ₹20–30 lakh bracket. A meaningful segment crossed ₹30 lakh and above, including the highest reported packages of ₹99 lakh per annum in Software Engineering and ₹80 lakh per annum in Data Science and Data Engineering.

The assessment by B2K Analytics, a research and analytics firm that has conducted outcome evaluations for leading institutions across India, reinforces the credibility of the findings. The process included review of compensation data, role classification, and one-to-one telephonic verification with learners.

Rajat Garg, Founder of Bosscoder Academy, said, “Career progression should be measured across the cohort, not just through a few standout outcomes. What we see in this report is steady movement across experience levels, which reflects structured preparation and consistent skill development.”

The report focuses on working professionals seeking role transitions rather than entry-level placements. Learners moved into backend, full stack, platform, and data roles with increased ownership and compensation, reflecting broader demand for experienced engineers in the technology ecosystem.

With independently verified data and distribution-level analysis, the report underscores a pattern of widespread salary growth among mid-career technology professionals who underwent structured upskilling during the assessment period.
