You might have seen many a times that [Swiggy](swiggy) and [Zomato](zomato)  will never let you connect with a customer support agent or simply deny you a refund if your order is spilled, incorrect, has missing items or stuck in a different space-time dimension where the driver has been reaching you in 20 mins for the last 1 hour.

Simple hack: Always choose cash on delivery. It will prioritize your order above gold customers, if you tell their chatbot that you won’t pay if the order is delayed beyond a point they will immediately connect you to a human AND if your order has missing/wrong items - you can simply refuse to pay.

The user experience remains exactly the same - once the order is delivered you can pay via any UPI app or wallet or saved card through the app but you never again have to worry about being Zomato’s starving hostage.

Wait! To be clear - I’m not suggesting to using this to deny payment of legitimate delivery orders.

This is just mean to get “premium experience” with no extra cost.

Career Advice

Right after my BCom, I took a service advisor role at Honda for ₹7K due to urgency. Later, I moved to a gas station for ₹10K, handling all kinds of work beyond office tasks.

My breakthrough came when I joined as an order management specialist in Bangalore for ₹22K. To advance, I self-learned Excel, Power BI, coding, and automation, earning a specialist role. I also completed my MBA in Logistics & Supply Chain online. After four years, my salary reached ₹35K. 
With management’s support, I transitioned to a procurement specialist role at ₹45K + ₹11K (night shift), later growing to ₹58K + ₹11K by optimizing processes.

Now, I’m preparing for an HR round and planning to ask for a 55% hike. Am I on the right track? How can I accelerate my career growth?

Career Growth

Hello,

I have been working in a paint company for the last 2 years but am not satisfied with the work profile and responsibilities. 

I'm planning for a career switch in the next 1 year to finance with zero financial knowledge and background. I heard it is high paying and job security is good.

Can anyone please suggest the paths to me. 

I just have an idea how to go for it. I'm sharing here. Since I am 26, I don't wanna take any risk, atleast any calculated risk further.

*FMVA
*Python
*Excel
*Sql
*PowerBI

I need help here. Please mention, if any other courses need to be done.

#Finance, #career switch

Not Satisfied with my current job role. Seeking Advice for a career switch to finance.

Hello,
6 months ago, I switched from my previous job to my current one with a 40% salary hike. At that time, it seemed like a great opportunity, but now, I am seriously considering my decision.
My previous job had,
1. A European MNC team with excellent support and work culture
2. Good Time for my family & personal life
3. Flexible timing & permanent work-from-home
4. 5 days working with proper work-life balance

Now, in my current Indian company:
1. 12-hour workdays, with additional work on Saturdays (despite a 5-day work policy)
2. No proper training
3. Toxic work culture, where I get scolded daily due to a lack of training
4. Hardly any time for my kids and parents
5. Started my health issues

My previous company is willing to take me back with a 10% hike on my last salary. Given the work-life balance, supportive environment, and long-term growth prospects I had there, I am thinking of returning.
*It is not going to impact on my monthly expenses.*
Would you recommend going back?
