Tired of my current company paying me close to nothing
I joined my current company (a startup) as i was desperate to get a job at 3 LPA but soon I have realised I have been made to do work more than what i was getting paid for, I am doing VAPT which was my job profile, but then addition of Red teaming and threat hunting and I am still getting paid the same, they gave me a raise but it was close to nothing as compared to the skills and the value that i bring in. Plus the policies of the company ISTG. How do I make a switch? and whats the best way to know your worth so that you are not exploited?

Vulnerability Management: Exciting Opportunity or Tough Night Shift? Help Needed! Offered a Job in a Domain I Know Nothing About!
I’ve been on the bench for the past 3 months, primarily working with Java Fullstack, and have some experience with Python. Recently, I received a call regarding a Cybersecurity requirement, and I expressed my interest.
Shortly after, I was interviewed by a Senior Security Manager from Infrastructure Services for a role in Vulnerability Management. The position involves using a tool to scan systems for vulnerabilities, communicating with clients on remediation strategies, and generating reports based on the findings.
While this is a completely new domain for me, and I have no prior experience in security, I’m eager to explore this field. The only concern is the night shift, which runs until around 11:30 PM to 12:30 AM.
I’m seeking advice on a few key points:
How demanding or hectic is this type of work?
What responsibilities and challenges should I be aware of in Vulnerability Management?
What potential career paths could open up after gaining experience in this role?
I’d appreciate any insights, especially from those with experience in Security Management. Your guidance would help me make a more informed decision.

Nothing Interests me anymore
Hi everyone, I am a 24F. I have recently come out of a situationship, actually I was forced out of it because of his commitment issues. It feels horrible to force myself not to talk with him like we used to , though we are still in speaking terms.. Now I am in a constant dilemma whether to hope that he will commit or to move on. Because of this I lost interest in everything.. even eating twice a day is feeling like a lot of work..!
Any solid advice will be helpful, Thanks..

Oneplus 11R vs Moto Razr 50 vs Nothing 2a vs other phone in same range
Hi Gviners,
I am looking to buy a new phone for my sister. She will be in college so generally a good fancy phone with good camera and good performance will do the work. I’m confused which mobile I should buy.
While my range is upto ~50k. I’m afraid I will have to buy a new phone in 3-4 years because of FOMO from her other Friends buying new phone(maybe)

Why nothing good is happening in India
You can call it a cribbing post but I am really really frustrated, worried and sad about the poor state our country is in.
1) Corruption all over
2) No value for life. Literally no one cares if you have an accident on roads. One in a million will come to help. Others will just make videos and leave.
3) No safety for women and no stricter laws coming in even after daily incidents.
4) Poor infrastructure and the new ones are also poor. Example: The dream project of Delhi Mumbai express way already needs repair at many places.
5) Degrading value of food and water. Almost all the veggies have very harmful chemicals.
6) Very poor state of education, no real research happening in any field.
7) The tax system already sucks and keeps getting worse.
8) Hate crimes at all time high.
I don't want to mention the poor state of politics and don't want to discuss it.
I just wish all the above issues are resolved by some magic wand.

Feeling nothing after a good appraisal
I got my first salary after getting my cash CTC increased from 22 to 29LPA
I thought I’d be happy but I just checked my bank account and closed it.
Felt nothing. No differential feeling / experience for even a second
YOE: 5
Earlier when my salary moved from 30k to 50k month I used to get the happiness hit for a week but now it’s “meh” even though the difference is much higher.
Anyone else rocking the same boat?

I destroyed my career for nothing - Need advice
Hi all,
I need some advice from someone in my situation.(Spoiler : Long post )
Some intro : Ever since i was a child i wanted to be a doctor (I was good in Bio and bad in maths with 56 /100 in 12th Maths ), as such i prepared for NEET , and dropped one year for the same , as my father is a farmer ,only way i would be doctor is to crack into a government college where fees are low . I worked hard for a year but i missed the cutoff mark for Gov MBBS seat by 12-14 marks , i got multiple offer letter from Gov-funded colleges with fee about 3 L per year , but as my father didn't have 3L in his bank i was not able to provide a demand draft (DD) on admission date and they rejected me.Which had a impact on my mental health.
As i had some interest in Android ROM/kernels , i took admission from Btech CSE in tier-3 college, as the fee was low and i thought i can learn coding and get a decent off-campus offer. But unfortunately for me i struggled to clear maths related papers again and had 5 backlogs over 4 years . I spend my 4 years trying to clear all papers within course time ,which i succeeded with a low CGPA of 7 . But I never learned coding well and didn't know about things like leetcode etc.
I tried months for job in 2022 , but none was hiring as i was from tier 3 college + low CGPA , i finally got an offer from Consultancy for C++ developer role .They told they will deploy me in IBM in contract to hire position with a salary of 3LPA . But on day 1 at IBM i come to know my project is Application support , and that this project was closing soon , now in 2024 project is over and am unemployed again.
Now when i am applying via Naukri i am only getting BPO calls with low CTC (below 4.5LPA ) , Noone is even considering me for SDE roles.
Only positive is i cleared CAT and got into provisional list of IIM Sambalpur, last year ,But didnot go as fee was very high for me (15L+)
I feel i have destroyed my career and even leetcode guys are not getting jobs there days . Only hope i feel i have now are :
1)Write CAT again ,Go for MBA in a decent college as i have interest in stock markets (Paid my UG fees by trading ) ,This means i will have to take 10L+ loans ? Also , is MBA worth it for someone with no finance background in UG ,will i get job afterwards?
2)Try to get out of india to any European country to do any PG taking 15L+ in loans and try to find any job there.
Keep in mind i am only breadwinner in my family ,Age : 26 , UG passout 2021.
Which of the following should i try for ?
I know its long post and many wont read, if you read the post please comment recommendation .Thanks
