Can someone tell me how have appraisals been so far in media sector? I’m not hearing good stuff this season

Which financial newspaper you would recommend subscribing to. ? However, there are many options available, I am unsure which one to choose.

So went to tier 1/1.5 , EE branch , during placement I never really found interest in DSA. Thought I’ll do a simple job but now when I see my peers getting into big product companies , with great pay I feel so sad. I feel like I should have prepared better. And then after coming to Bangalore it feels even more sad because whenever I go on dates the other guy is always an IIT guy earning more than me 😅. Even among my friends I kinda envy them that they have chill wlb plus better pay . Is this how life is?

The general opinion around big 4 is that the work/life balance is shit, and the pay varies from average to above average. Where can we go from here? Have people switched to a different industry, like FMCG (not specifically)? Does it pay more? Is the work culture better?
