Career Advice

If you could go back in time and give your 22-year-old self a single piece of career advice, what would it be?

Career advice to my 22-year-old self?

Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

Last night, I came home feeling really frustrated after a last-minute meeting at work. I rang the doorbell and saw my husband looking happy because he got a new project thanks to his hard work. 

He was telling me how much praise he got at work and how his career is moving forward. But I suddenly lost my patience and shouted .............SHUTUP, I’m not happy right now ................too much frustrated and I don’t want to hear about your achievements. Just leave me alone.

He looked surprised, and I walked away from the room. Since then, it’s been quiet between us................no hugs or support. And I am wondering why?

If he can share his happiness, why can’t I share my frustration? Being partners means understanding each other, no matter what. 
Why the silence? Not everyone has a good day every day. Sometimes, you just need someone to ask how you are feeling before talking.

Sneha Debnath. 19 years old. Math student at DU. Doing a course with IIT Madras. Interning with an Australian firm.

She came from Tripura to Delhi with dreams bigger than her age. Studying hard, earning her own money, never asking anyone for help. Her LinkedIn said she loved maths, computers, and anime. Just a normal, brilliant girl chasing a better life.
 
Yesterday, she was found dead in the Yamuna.
Her family called her an “overachiever.” But behind that word is a painful reality, of a generation that feels they must do everything, all at once, just to feel “enough.” Two courses. One job. One life. No time to breathe. And nobody really asks: Are you okay?
 
How many Snehas are quietly drowning in expectations right now?

This isn’t just tragic, it’s terrifying. If a girl this talented, this driven, couldn’t find space to be heard, what does that say about us?

How many Snehas are quietly drowning in expectations right now?

Show me the money! Let's talk compensation and hustle.

My manager is at 50lpa and age of 32 years, fully in the tech world.
But I feel he is broke, Home loans and EMI are consuming his salary.
1.5 crore apartment, shiny car, apart from all this, he can't afford a single stress-free vacation.
Welcome to India's newest illusion: high income with zero financial freedom.

Literally feel he deserves this, but feel bad for him also!
So in short, why do you want a good package and a good designation when you can't afford a happy vacation with family?

Do you agree too?

CTC is 50lpa, but cannot even afford a vacation!

No MBA. No big money.
Just hard work, confidence and staying real.

Some people look for jobs.
Some people become the opportunity.

What do you think made Dolly successful.....his look, his hustle or his heart?

He didn’t make a business plan. He just served tea — in his own style
