You see what is the industry standard, see what is your current CTC, accordingly add % whatever hike you want. There will be outcast in salaries you will see low paying as well as very high earning people ignore them.

How do you tackle these questions? I share these everytime but don't find them comfortable.

Everyone seems to be starting some trend here. I wanted to ask few questions, been thinking a lot about life lately 

You can share if this doesn’t resonate with you or that I might overshare

My manager goes into meeting without me a lot of times. Later he comes and explains me what needs to be done. It makes me feel like his assistant. If this continues, how will I make a presence of my own in front of the stakeholders? Ultimately I need good reviews from them and not just from my manager for a good appraisal.
How should I deal with it or convey it?

How do you keep yourself motivated and disciplined. I almost forgot that this is a new year. Yes, I'm supposed to be motivated and work on my resolutions 🥲, I often find myself settling for less and slipping into a comfort zone. 
Occasionally, I get bursts of motivation and make plans, but I struggle to stay on track. My attention span has reduced, and I easily get distracted, especially with phone notifications. I've tried digital well-being tools, but the real solution seems to be strict discipline. 

How do others tackle this issue? I'm eager to learn from different perspectives and strategies.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I’ve often found myself in a position where friends/family are planning a trip or something else which is unsuitable for my budget and I struggle in saying NO to such things. As a kid I’ve seen my own parents bail out of things sometimes by clearly calling out the budget constraint and sometimes by making some other excuse. But unfortunately I’m not able to clearly say NO citing budget issues. I usually make some other lame excuses which sound pretty stupid at times (I’m weak at lying) mostly because I don’t want people to see me with eyes full of pity.

For example, folks in my closest friends circle come from a pretty wealthy family and even right now they earn easily 50%+ more than me so their plans are mostly unfit for my wallet. One time I had to refuse to participate in their trip just because of budget and I could sense the pity that they had for me at that moment or another time I could feel them being disheartened because they had to compromise a bit with their plan so that it could adjust with my wallet. In each case I felt really uncomfortable and since then I’ve been using only some other excuses to escape from such plans.

So my question to you folks is, if you’ve ever found yourself in a similar situation, how have you dealt with it? Any suggestions for me on how I can handle it better?

I have a job interview coming up and want to get everything right this time. Would appreciate any suggestions.  I usually start by telling where I've done my college from and then talk about the work I've done at my current firm. Anything more that I should add?

Ask me anything except my company name, or things that can reveal my identity. I may respectfully choose not to respond to your question based on my own judgement.

Here’s a brief intro about me: I’ve worked as both software engineering manager & software technical architect over the last 18+ years on various tech stacks managing backend, frontend and a little bit of cloud. I have seen ups and downs in the software industry. Currently I’m working as a senior architect in one of the product based companies in India.

I’ve been an Engineering Manager before. Ask me anything.

How do you go about interviews where neither party has discussed the band . Do you seek blood or bleed?

Tell me your story of salary negotiation. Did you straight up ask the band? Did the HR ignore or take offense at your audacity to ask how much this role could pay?
