- ppo with 6-9 LPA 
- joining next month(march)
what should i do? Should i wait for another chances in tech or move on with this offer and try while working with the startup.

If i wait another 2-3 months i will be competing with 2025 passouts.

Clocking 14-hour days might sound like the ultimate dedication, but at what cost?

This techie’s story is a harsh reminder of how overworking can damage the very things we work so hard for. The Rs 7.5 Cr promotion is impressive, but the toll it took on his personal life? Heartbreaking. His wife filed for divorce, and his success feels hollow.

Here’s why 14-hour days and 90+ hour weeks don’t work:

1️⃣Health deteriorates: Physical and mental burnout are inevitable.
2️⃣Relationships suffer: Time is the currency of love and connection.
3️⃣Long hours ≠ Better results: Productivity declines after a certain point.

Success isn’t about being the last one at your desk or working yourself to exhaustion. It’s about finding balance achieving your goals without sacrificing your well-being and loved ones.

Remember: Life doesn’t pause for promotions. Make time for what truly matters.

Techie worked 14 hours a day, got a Rs 7.5 Cr promotion, but...

Dozens of people with pristine history and exceeds rating that took parental or medical leave and got laid off. I didn’t even know this was legal.

A lot of people who devoted 8-10 years to the company with multiple AE ruthlessly axed!

Seems it was more about money than performance. Be careful about joining this company. Zuck doesn’t care about his employees. Only the company [Meta](meta)

Meta layoff is brutal
