Small hacks for enjoying a balanced life in Big 4

I will go first, it doesn't matter if you really work hard on a project, in the end only result matter, no matter how much efforts you made for it

Background: I'm about to start my corporate journey and one of the advices I recieved was "Don't take things personally, and treat most feedback as a chance to improve and not resent!" What would you advice your younger self, about to step out in the corporate world? Drop some wisdom!

1. Build a home earlier. Be it rural home or urban home. Building a house at 50 is not an achievement. Don't get used to government houses. This comfort is so dangerous. Let all your family have good time in your house. 2. Go home. Don't stick at work all the year. You are not the pillar of your department. If you drop dead today, you will be replaced immediately and operations will continue. Make your family a priority. 3. Don't chase promotions. Master your skills and be excellent at what you do. If they want to promote you, that's fine if they don't, stay positive to your personal. development. 4. Avoid office or work gossip. Avoid things that tarnish your name or reputation. Don't join the bandwagon that backbites your bosses and colleagues. Stay away from negative gatherings that have only people as their agenda. 5. Don't ever compete with your bosses. You will burn your fingers. Don't compete with your colleagues, you will fry your brain. 6. Ensure you have a side business. Your salary will not sustain your needs in the long run. 7. Save some money. Let it be deducted automatically from your payslip. 8. Borrow a loan to invest in a business or to change a situation not to buy luxury. Buy luxury from your profit. 9. Keep your life,marriage and family private. Let them stay away from your work. This is very important. 10. Be loyal to yourself and believe in your work. Hanging around your boss will alienate you from your colleagues and your boss may finally dump you when he leaves. 11. Retire early. The best way to plan for your exit was when you received the employment letter. The other best time is today. By 40 to 50 be out. 12. Join work welfare and be an active member always. It will help you a lot when any eventuality occurs. 13.Take leave days utilize them by developing yr future home or projects..usually what you do during yr leave days is a reflection of how you'll live after retirement.

I am seriously asking this question, how do you work less In office, when you know you can do your work sorta easily, but you also know that whatever work you are doing is senior level work, ie not your pay scale? 🤡 I it just me or am I making sense??
