Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

I'm keeping this anonymous because I don’t want to disclose it in real life. After two years without a raise, I successfully negotiated a 100% increase at my current company. I focused on creating significant value and worked in cross-functional teams to learn as much as possible. There were times when I was overworked, but it was all worthwhile. I was confident that it was a mutually beneficial situation.

My advice would be to choose your job wisely, create value in the right place, and don't be afraid to negotiate.

Just had to share this, I got a 100% hike!

Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

Sure, you have people around, flatmates, coworkers, friends....and family is just a call away. But still, it can get incredibly quiet, and sometimes the noise inside your head becomes overwhelming.

How do you cope with that?

P.S. I live with family now, so there's always some drama going on....But I’ve lived alone before, so I know what it feels like.

Also, I’m not sure if this is what loneliness feels like, or if it’s something closer to depression?

For those who live alone, how do you handle the silence?

I’ve developed feelings for a coworker over the past few months and thought things were mutual, but now I'm unsure. We talk all day at work, text and message on Instagram after hours, and even on weekends. He bought me a wallet I’ve been eyeing to celebrate my promotion and brings me candy often.

He walks me to my car, even though he parks far away, holds doors for me, and once opened the passenger door when we carpooled.

Despite all this, he refers to me as his "favorite colleague" and sends coworker memes. I’m confused - does he see me as more than a coworker? 
I’m hesitant to ask directly since we work together.😅

Is this normal coworker behavior?

Career Advice

Hey, I just resigned from a role because it made me.do.work I was not hired for.Rather there was nothing technical about it and I am a guy from technical background. I'm getting calls from other companies but how to professionally answer the question "Why did you resign without any offer" or "why are you serving notice period without any offer in hand"
 

Any suggestions from people with prior experience or IT professionals is highly appreciated 🙂

Serving Notice Period without offer

I was getting 15.2 LPA in my previous org and now i am being offered 29.5 LPA but the designation is 1 position lower than what i was in my previous  org. Should i go ahead with the offer or still negotiate on designation.

Protip : i was laid off in my previous org.

Offer Accepted
