During peak Covid, I took a part time job since I was out of work. It was fully remote of course but it turned out to be horrible.

I worked for more than 12 hours a day and I didn't even have a day off. It wasn't a part time job, it was a full time role with a part time pay. It was toxic. My manager was toxic and the clients were unruly at times (unsurprisingly).

After 3 months, I resigned. And the following week post my last day, I just ate, slept and read a fantasy novel from one my of favourite authors. It was one of the best weeks I've ever had.

What's the best thing you did after leaving a toxic workplace?

Hi All,

My name is Abrakam Jaganath, and I'm 38 years old. My current CTC is Rs. 2.66 lakhs. I've been working as a Credit Verification Officer at Indusind Marketing Services Limited for the past six years. I resigned from my job last January.

Since then, I've been attending interviews with various companies for the past three months. However, every company requires experience in home loans and loans against property. Unfortunately, my experience is limited to two-wheeler loans. As a result, they're hesitant to consider my application.

Could you please guide me on how to update my skills and develop my career? I appreciate your advice.

Thank you,
Abrakam Jaganath"

Day to Day Office

These days, everyone seems to want to quit their job and start a business. But I actually enjoy my 9-5.....it gives stability, a fixed salary and peace of mind.

I get that being your own boss sounds exciting, but isn’t it also stressful? What do you think? Why do so many people want to leave?🤔

I love my 9-5

Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

I recently switched jobs with a 48% hike, and my current in-hand salary is ₹35K. But after joining, I realized a few important things that weren’t mentioned during the interview.

1. No Phones or Bags Allowed – We have to keep them in lockers, which I wasn’t informed about before joining.

2. Working Saturdays – HR said all Saturdays are working but assured that one Saturday off per month would be introduced soon. I can't see that happening anytime soon

3. Phone Policy Confusion – When I asked HR why this wasn’t discussed earlier, they said it’s only for two months and won’t be the case at the new location (which was discussed earlier). But some old employees say the same rule applies there too.

4. Leaves – We get 21 paid leaves a year.

I’m already thinking of switching. Would it be too soon to leave within 3 months, or should I stay for at least 6 months? Also, since I just got a good hike, how much can I ask for in my next job?

Unexpected job policies: stay or switch?

Hi everyone,

I am currently working as a frontend developer in a startup. This is my second company. Ive been working here for 10 months now

I have total of 2.3 yeo and im getting 8 LPA (7.5 fixed + 50k variable).

I see lot of people having lesser yeo earning more than me. Is my salary below market standards? My appraisal cycle is in june month and I dont think my manager will promote me to senior role. Hence i wanted to switch to another company. Is it fine if i switch within 1 year in a company
