Day to Day Office

Ever been fired for something completely absurd? I take the cake! Got the boot for allegedly "causing too much sunshine" in the office. Apparently, my positive vibes were disrupting the 'serious' work environment. 🙄

Interview Tips & Stories

One thing I’ve personally learned is that it’s really important not to overtalk during interviews. Once you cross that line, you unknowingly start oversharing. And we often forget that interviewers are actively listening to every single word  not just casually nodding.

In one of my interviews, the person was super friendly, and I got too comfortable. I ended up talking openly about some of my weaknesses… and guess what? He used that against me later. 
So yeah, be mindful of what and how much you share, even if the vibe feels chill.

Avoid overtalking in interviews speaking from experience

Career Advice

I work in Nagarro as a Software Engineer.
It's been a little more than 2 years since I joined as a fresher. Salary hikes are not impressive. Trash projects, nobody knows where the company is going. I've been working with really bad liars for the past 2 years. Everyone in this company seems to be treating it as their retirement plan because they offer work from home.

I work on python automation POCs and my team is one of those "Agile" ones with no direction. It can be renamed as "Team ADHD". Their plans change every 4 hours and none of them are engineers, they are consultants (manchilds or scammers would be a good word).

I'm also not able to get other job offers, Hardly got 2 interviews after hundreds of applications across multiple platforms. I do see other people getting better roles in better companies. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm attaching *one of my resumes* in case someone wants to help me out.

Not sure if I should continue

Manage finances effectively through discussions on financial management, accounting principles, and regulations.

Finance & Accounting

Why aren't cost audits mandatory for hospitals, colleges, and schools? 🤔

During my CMA journey, I realized these institutions—handling public funds, offering key services, and impacting lives—often lack cost oversight. 

We're seeing disturbing trends, especially in education, where schools and colleges charge a ton for uniforms, activities, transport, etc. 💸

Though non-profits in theory, many act like revenue setups, straining parents. 😔

Shouldn’t transparency and accountability be as crucial here as in manufacturing? 
Why not use regular cost audits to ensure fairness and prevent exploitation? 

Education is a right, not a business. Healthcare is a necessity, not a luxury. 

As CMAs and finance pros, we should push for cost transparency and good governance in public services. ✅

CMAs, aspiring CMAs, and finance folks—what do you think? 🤝

Should hospitals & schools have mandatory cost audits?

I spent 4 years getting an engineering degree. Then 3 more years building “corporate experience.”
Learned Python, Java, debugged more issues than I’ve had hot meals.

And guess what I earn?🥲

25K a month.
Yes, a whole 25,000 shiny rupees to be a glorified Google searcher who knows how to “fix backend issues.”

Meanwhile, YouTubers making “A Day in My Life” vlogs with 3 cuts and a cringe transition are pulling in lakhs per month. Just because they can say “Hi guys, welcome back to my channel ☕.”

Did I choose the wrong career? Or the wrong country? Or the wrong life?
(Asking for a broke, overworked friend. And for myself.)

Does tech even pay in India anymore? Or is entertainment the only profitable industry left?
