This shit would be illegal in Europe or other developed countries. That manager and company would get a legal kick in their nuts so hard. In Indian it'll take 10 or 20 years for any resolution even if they manage to file a case.

I met my girlfriend during college, 5 years ago. 

We were so much in love. I remember we used to go on dates to picnics, museums and the works. I spent and invested a lot of money and time in this relationship. I feel that my life is purposeless now that she has left me.

Her father is a very high ranking government official. He has gotten marriage proposals from very well endowed political connections. Apparently some ex-CM's son is out in the marriage market looking. 

I don't know why but I still thought we would make it. Like, nothing can come between us. 

She texted me last night that she was leaving me because I only make 14LPA. My hands are still trembling. 
I want to go be the best version of myself and simultaneously think that the train tracks are looking comfy to sleep on.

My girlfriend left me because I make 14LPA...

Don’t cry brother. Salary is subjective.. it might be 14 today, it will increase tomorrow. I personally feel you got saved from a gold digger. 
 You gonna get much more beautiful and honest, loving girls in Arrange marriage. 
 All the best.

Today is gonna be the last day of my college life 
, There was someone to who i adored a lot , loved a lot ,spent a lot of time together just to hear at the last moment that we are just friends despite of the fact that the things were much more than a friendship ,I blocked her on 21st sept 2023 after one year of beautiful memories i made with her and she tried to reach out to me but couldn't, The bond we shared defined a lot of things and I was there just to let my heart got shattered, maybe she didn't find me compatible or whatever but literally I never thought that things could turn out like this . Tomorrow is the last day of my college, she will come , I'll Also be there , i have memories, regrets , pain together, what will I say to her if she'll try to talk to me ,What should I say , if I will avoid her , i will regret and if she will talk to me then there will b a pain , whatever was there in my heart i have given everything to her , Time will fly but memories will be there...

Last day of my college life...

My story -
So I switched to a startup last year. I was initially super excited in solving problems. Asking questions and just being curious about everything in general.
   Then, some incidents of my manager's behavior and team folks has turned me into a person who is so fucking afraid of now asking questions, doing tasks. My stakeholder communication sometimes I miss on, some things that seem to be pretty obvious had I been my competent self of previous organization, I am missing out on.
   I don't communicate well simply because I don't want to face my current manager and team. There's huge disconnect as well. I am not at all excited to work everyday. 
 
My friend was miserable in my previous org but now after switch he's damn happy and doing good!

I want to know if this is something that happens with you all? Or are you all like you fit in everywhere?
Or is it just My problem and my incompetence? Because I am always reminiscing my past org and my performance there was exceptional!

Has anyone ever faced a situation where you perform excellent in some org but not in another?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I come from a poor background, but somehow I worked extremely hard and now I earn decently well (above 60 LPA cash). 

My problem is- 
I don’t mind spending on others. In fact I don’t even think twice before taking my card out and buying things for family or friends. I have also lent money to multiple people when they are in need of help (total close to about 2-3 lakhs). But it doesn’t bother me even a bit. I don’t even care about whether I’ll get it back or not. 

But, when it comes to me, I find myself struggling so much and questioning my decision to buy things even as cheap as INR 200-300. And most of the times I find myself going extra miles to save a few bucks. In fact, I also recently downgraded from a bigger to smaller apartment, because I have been doing so much maths around saving 7-8K a month. 

Maybe there is some part of me that feels that I don’t deserve any of this. 

Anyone has any idea how to fix this?

I find it so hard to spend on myself

Why cant I find someone who understands me !

Data engineer

I am 33M, started working at 20. Earned 87LPA when I was dropped off in June 23. I am a very responsible person who had taken care of everything in the family for quite some time. My parents and relatives and everyone else who know me well, know this and kost have appreciated this at some point.
My sister separated from her husband 6 months after my marriage and had been living with me and my wife since then till COVID hit.
My mother has anger issues and my father is very obedient to her. I love my parents and they loved me I think.
Post COVID I moved to my hometown (because family) and things started going downhill. My mother will almost entire day find every faults in my wife and share it with everyone with an angry tone. I just listened to her initially for 2 years but at times I told her that it's enough.
Now she has started fighting me. After the fight I would go and apologize to her knowing that it's not my fault just to make things right.
This time when my mother fought with me she taunted me that you will come back and apologize. This hurted me even more than the fight.
Now I am not going back to apologize and she's escalating it every day. Convinced my father and my eldest sister(happily married) that I am a bad son. Shares messages like "maa bap ko pareshan krne vale bachho ko kya fal milta hai" in WhatsApp groups.
She has even asked me to vacate home. I am unemployed at the moment and I told her I will when I have a job.
I don't know how to deal with it. I can't convince people in the family that she has anger issues.

My parents hate me

A final year student

I made a lot of mistakes in my life
Never ever worked hard to my fullest potential
Didn't studied well even though I had potential during JEE
Keep getting attracted to girls(very few times), even though I am training myself not to.

Becoming emotionally down often
Feeling guilty of not being able to have someone to talk to.

What I simply want is to work to my fullest potential without getting attracted to the other gender so that there are no distractions and becoming mentally strong to the point that I don't need anyone else continuously present in my life for me.

There has to be a way
Almost everyone around me are so strong
My gut believes I don't have that much time left
I just want to fix everything for my parents and my brother
And leaving with a pride and honor of a MAN.

Today only I had my Managerial round with Trufan for the SDE role. Obviously I got rejected. Neither because I was technically bad because I was dominating the interview.

But that's not the bad that happens with me today. Maybe with that I will overcome this within 1-2 days. But actually what I lost due to this rejection . This rejection hit me a self doubt and due to this i have to submit a assignment for another organisation the assignment was almost complete just final touches remaining, but I didn't submit that. Then I had to deliver 2 YouTube videos for 2 clients didn't submit that and obviously lost the hope because in the last 3-4 months I gave more than 10-15 interviews but still no job. 

This  is the maximum that I have lost due to a rejection. And there is o compensation on this from neither side. Neither from industry not from company.

Now I am losing this marathon. If I don't get a job sooner will leave this and will open a chai ka thela.

With My last Interview I have lost almost everything.

Turned 22 today. :)

When I was in 7th semester i joined as early-stage IIID startup, they said they will hire me as a full-time employee after the 5 month, after the 5 month I am asking for my full time, they said at this stage we can afford a full time employee we will surely hire you after the 3 month, and now 3 month completed and I am asking for my full time they said we will releases your full time offer letter you can join as a full time after your clg, after some arguments i said okay bcz i have just 2 month left in my btech so I said send me the offer letter and they was like ya just sending tomorrow, sending..and sending I asked the offer letter 4-5 times and he did not send said just sending stuck into the problem, now what I do I am just thinking i can definitely crack another offer letter in 1 month , but i have to start from scratch as a intern thats the problem, but I am thinking I will delete all the database all the code and everything which I can bcz I have admin access of everything cloud , GitHub so i am gonna to do it in next 2 days but I am stuck into that by what I am getting nothing but fir bhi Krna toh padega vrna yad kese rkhega ..........

Stuck into the startup hell

I am building my personal brand (trying to)
But oversight is, the strategy seems all over the place 

Do you/have you created?

1. What are the platforms you focus on?
2. Paid subscriptions that have help you in the journey 

Any advice in general is also welcome.

Sharing one of my female friend’s story :

The guy had uploaded backdated pictures (3 yrs) of his on matrimonial site profile, they talked and everything, went to meet the guy along with parents.

Situation : The guy was completely bald when compared to the photos he had uploaded, had also not shared any recent pics on WhatsApp chat (even after asking multiple times) citing reasons that he was very busy with work and all. 
Needless to say my friend was taken aback.

Verdict : Rejected on account of being dishonest (not bald). 

P.S. : My friend has dated bald guys in her past.

I am not a storyteller so had to use clear indications of situation and verdict.

Zomato delivered another great set of results. Now they are adding 250Cr cash every quarter.
The company hit two benchmarks this quarter according to my calculations, 50,000 Cr worth of orders (4x Q3) and 100 Cr orders (4x Q3), and these are growing 25-30% year on year.
Why is this interesting? As some of you might know, they have started adding platform fees to the orders. Even one more rupee of platform fee will add 100 Cr to EBITDA. So, if they increase fees from 5 to 10, that's 500 Cr more EBITDA every year.
 
Now, If you look at this quarter's results vs last quarter's results, they have added ~3600 Cr of order value, and made 380 Cr of EBITDA (this does not include Events). Which means they are making 10% as EBITDA. In next 3 years, if Zomato doubles their order value to 1,00,000 Cr, and even make 8% EBITDA, this could mean 8000 Cr EBITDA (almost 1 billion dollars). What markets will give as multiple on this, is guess work. Could be 25-40x (Don't hold me on this). Hence the stock looks undervalued from a 3 year lens

So, my friend wanted to take up task with other team, his manager didn't want it. So the manager took him among the other team members and publicly humiliated him showcasing that he is worried as fuck about the task in hand(he was just excited) and that they are putting pressure on him(they weren't)

I started thinking, if this happened with me, I don't have a comeback, but I wouldn't wanna stay with a manager who uses his own people to get ahead. Would you?

If your manager used you as a scapegoat in a situation, would you still continue in the job?

I get around 54k every month in my account and I save close to 25k every month. I’m a fresher 2023 passout working as a SDE - Backend. My friends always wants me to go out with them every weekend to play badminton or to just chill. This costs me around Rs500-1000 every week. The thing is I don’t like going out plus I’ll be saving extra 2500Rs. Also, I’m focused on increasing my CTC currently.

How to ditch them every weekend? Or should I just stop being friends with them?

PS: I strongly believe in earning more and saving more, plus I like to keep my lifestyle inflation to the lowest.

But it will atleast save me my self-respect 😅😅😅
