[Thread] You can choose any movie you want and your life will be that movie. Which movie do you choose? 🍿🎬

I'll go first: Mine's from Winston Churchill, though I first encountered it in a biography I read - ""Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm."" This quote hit me like a ton of bricks. It completely reframed how I view setbacks and challenges. Instead of seeing failures as endpoints, I now see them as stepping stones. It's not about avoiding failure, it's about maintaining your drive and passion through the ups and downs.

I'll go first - I would love to be - 1. smart in reading people like Patrick Jane (From show "The Mentalist") 2. Fun loving / easy going like Jake Peralta (From show "Brooklyn Nine Nine") 3. Attitude / swag like Harvey Specter (From show "Suits")

Just finished watching "The Big Short" and I must say the movie is perhaps a great recap of what it may have been like during GFC.

Id love to live in the Godfather Italian mafia era. What cinematic moment would you want to live?

For me, it is the movie Titanic Now you go

Everyone is jumping for higher salary because they're supposed to - as potentially expenses increases over time over an individual's life cycle. I was new to my role , had some experience already, and now 2.5 years later I'm an expert in this role ...and I'm feeling the pressure of "switching" for better pay and learning and growth because otherwise I'm stagnated in this role in this company. My CTC right now was once upon a time my aspiration but now it's on the lower average side for my years of experience. But wasn't the point of work to find a place where you can work for a long long time and make decent money - I like the role , the bosses , the flexibility etc. But the organization size is small and there genuinely isn't much steep growth path ahead. I am ambitious and I would like a bigger role in a different company at some point of time in my life but right now everything is settled here and is fine...except the learning / growth/ salary is now stagnated for the next ~12 months or so. I'm confused about staying or switching.
