ZS (Gurgaon) - 34 LPA
Optum (Noida) - 35 LPA
EXL Services (Gurgaon) - 35 LPA

I'm seeking advice on which offer to accept, considering factors like learning opportunities, work-life balance, and future career growth. Which company would be the best choice?

I am a Data Engineer and currently have three good offers in hand — ZS Associates,  EXL Services, and Optum. Which one should I choose?

Me and my gf have been dating for 5 years.
Back in 2020, I started my career with a package of ₹5 LPA. Over the years, I’ve reached ₹22 LPA in 2025.
She started her journey with ₹3 LPA(2020) and is now earning ₹8 LPA(2025).

We’ve been in a live-in relationship for around 2 years, and the idea was to share expenses equally. But, equal sharing never really happened. 
If we go to a café she likes, especially with friends, I will pay the entire bill. We only split the house rent and grocery bills. 
I told her lots of time to cut down these costly cafe expenses or earn more money, increase your package, study and work hard, but.....she is now in her comfort zone.
Being from a tech background, I have seen people upgrade their skills and package for a good life in metro cities.
I am ready to support her in her studies, but she is like I am earning enough for myself.... No, you are not.
I love her, but I don't know how to overcome this issue between us. Please suggest!

Day to Day Office

As a guy i never thought i will have to deal with inappropriate touching from a female colleague but it happened and no one seems to want to hear about it. When men speak up about women crossing boundaries at work we are often dismissed or laughed at. Harassment isn’t just something men do to women but men can be victims too.
Why is it so hard for people to take male victims seriously?

Career Advice

Met a Bangalore couple yesterday, both 36, earning a combined ₹4.5L/month.

Here’s how they’re playing the long game:

▪️Rent: ₹40K/month for a premium pad — no EMIs, no liabilities
▪️SIPs: ₹1.5L/month → that’s ₹18L/year
▪️Gold: Buying 10g every year (~₹65K)
▪️Savings rate: 50%+ (₹2.25L+ every month saved!)

At this pace, they’re investing over ₹27L every year.

By age 50, they’ll have ₹7.5 crore+ (assuming just 10% CAGR).
And that’s without counting bonuses, hikes, or gold value appreciation.

Retirement at 50?
Not a dream.
A spreadsheet-backed plan. ✅

The only negative side is, they won't have any kids to spend this money on :(

Career Growth

Feel so bad for those new interns, getting hired to do some copy and paste work and paid like the maid of the house.

One of the interns is under my guidance; he was so happy that he would learn something and could show up on his resume, but what is the core reality?

COPY PASTE WORK

He got hired 'cause the company didn't wanna pay a full-time employee. He's gonna be a BAKRA!

I seriously feel bad for those new interns, who usually come with hope and leave with nothing!

I don't understand, is it fair to do with those little interns?
Will they have any career growth from this, or is it just a waste of time?
