Interview Tips & Stories

I walked into this senior role interview fully prepped then the panel asked me about teamwork. Instead of sugarcoating i told them straight up that i dont do politics and i call out bad bosses and I expect accountability not just team spirit.

The room froze. i know they thought i was a trouble. No job offer came after.

This makes me wonder... is honesty really a weakness in corporate culture? or are companies just looking for people who keep quiet

Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

Laptop open, wifi perfect. Career... not so much. It wasn’t one big failure...just a thousand tiny ones. Rejections. Ghosted interviews. Skills that suddenly “weren’t enough.” 

Everyone around me seemed sorted. Promotions. Onsite roles. Hikes and me? Sitting with 6 tabs open, googling: “Jobs that don’t require confidence.” I almost gave up. Almost. Then I did something small but life changing. 

Day 3 tomorrow: The tiny decision that changed everything.

News

Remember Rishi Sunak?

Yep the former UK Prime Minister. He’s now making headlines again, but this time not in politics.

He’s joining Goldman Sachs as a senior advisor the same company he once worked at 21 years ago!

What will he do now?

Basically, he’ll be helping clients understand big-picture stuff like geopolitical risks, global economy trends, and will also be interacting with people and leaders around the world.

It’s like he's going back to his finance roots but with a lot more experience this time.

From running a whole country to advising one of the world’s biggest banks. not a small switch 

What do you think?

Should more politicians go back to the private sector? Or is this just another power circle move?

Rishi Sunak Joins Goldman Sachs Again After 21 Years!

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

Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

I am working as a Consultant and my salary range is 17LPA, and i am searching for a girl for my marriage.
But after calculating every risk, like living in a metro city(Pune) together:
House rent is around 25k
Grocery 10k
Car EMI 8-9k
Maids 10K
Petrol 5k
Some MF for future: 25-30k
Other expenses: 20-30 k(Including sofa, utensils, maintenance of house and guest)

I am not in love, going to do arrange a marriage, so asking frankly apart from looks, what should be the mandatory package of a girl to survive in a metro city?

Please suggest!  What salary should I expect from my wife?

Dolly Chaiwala. A name that started with fun videos and reached all the way to Bill Gates.

And now when 1,600+ people want to open his tapri franchise,
we understand that it was never just about tea.
It was about doing something different, every single day

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

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?
