I worked in a company for 20 years and suddenly put off role. Searching jobs I realised I am over age for various roles that I could do and less experienced for Leadership Roles as my exposure was limited. I always thought I am earning decent money and can work another 7 years and retire at 50. Though the younger generation is much smarter I still want to advise them (BFSI specific)
* Work in a role for max 2-3 years and switch when you feel you are done.
* By age of 30, if you are still earning less than 10 lakh you are not growing 
* By age of 35 you must become AVP as no company will hire AVP if you are more than 36.
*Be loyal to your self, not your organization. 
* Most importantly save atleast 30% or more of whatever your CTC. Donot spend much with every raise. 
* Buy a property, and pay loans before 35.

In tough times it's only Savings that give you cushion and peace nothing else

From penny-pinching to investing, let's talk money moves that would make Warren Buffett proud.

I’ve set aside 1 lakh for my baby and want to invest it wisely  something long-term that I can give him when he turns 18. Ideally, I want to just invest it and not worry about it much, but I don’t mind adding more to it over the years maybe for his education, travel, or any other needs when he grows up.

Rn, I’m already investing in SIPs and mutual funds for myself. But for this should I look at something else too? Any long-term plans you’d recommend?

Also, just thinking practically if something happens to me, how do I make sure this amount reaches him safely? Any tips around nomination, joint accounts, or will-based planning would really help 

Would love to hear from anyone who’s planned something similar for their child

Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

Every office has one unspoken conflict…

No, not deadlines.
Not promotions.
Not even stolen tiffins.

We’re talking about the real war:
THE AIR CONDITIONER.

In our office, it’s a daily drama.

On one side:
The “Antarctica Squad” — people who want the A/C at 16°C and dress like they’re hiking Everest.

On the other:
The “Sun Lovers” — begging for warmth, wearing shawls like they’re in Shimla.

And then…
There’s me.
The neutral party.
The one just trying to survive — not sweat, not shiver, just exist.

Every 30 minutes:

Someone lowers the temp.

Someone raises it.

Someone secretly switches off the A/C.

Maintenance gets called.

A meeting is held.

One colleague even brought their own fan. Another carries a blanket. I’m thinking of installing a thermometer on my desk.

At this point, the A/C remote has more office politics than our team meetings.

Lesson:
Forget team bonding activities.
If we can survive the A/C wars together, we’re already family. ❄️🔥

Secure your digital infrastructure and leverage technology through discussions on IT and information security.

IT & Information Security

The pay feels illegally low. Companies are doing zero to negligible original work. They think software engineering is something where you hire people who work 20 hours a day for 20k salary. I recently spoke to a company called bluebuck research located in dingy Kaikhali. That company had the audacity to tell me since I have been preparing for UPSC, I might not be able to answer his dumb Python questions when I have a GSOC internship and a NIT degree. Like shove your 30k jobs up your whatever. If you cannot interview, politely reject- don’t gauge candidates from gaps when people in US without having degrees are in programming jobs. 0 sense. 

Plus what is this illegally low pay to everyone and not just me? Has labour become that damn cheap? It is reprehensible.
