been thinking about this lately

At what point do you say that this is enough money that I have saved and now I will spend on luxury from here on? I know this is very "It depends" question but what has been your strategy?

I was learning to code when i was in my second year of BTech. I understood coding is not for all. It is a way of thinking. Some people naturally can code and some people work hard to get that way of thinking. Ultimately coding is about problem solving. Now one thing i understood is, my thinking and way of talking everything has got changed because of learning to code. Im making real life relations so complex. I have seen people who never think about how they think, who never go deep into why and what in day to day life, who just live their life without any stress but still earn good. What i am trying to ask is, is this normal for everyone. The more work you do, the more problems you solve, the more complex thinking your mind will start doing and this will affect your day to day life to think too much about ifs and elses in relationships.

I just got a offer from one Indian Finance company for Pune location (I would have to relocate). They are giving 13.90 LPA, out of which 11 is fixed and 2.75 is performance pay. They have alternate Saturday working policy, WFO, strict office timings and lots of workload sometimes more than 9 hours of working. What they have to offer is good appraisal cycle (> 10%), and a promotion in 18 months. Now my challenge is I joined a MNC X org in the second month of March with 12.55 LPA (10.5 is fixed and 1.26 is performance pay). What they have to offer is Hybrid, chill environment, free lunch, good medical benefits, and WLB. What they don’t offer is good appraisal ( they have standard appraisal policy same for everyone around 4-7%) and promotion. I’m confused on what to do!! I’m open to working on Saturday and with heavy workload, as the money is priority. But since I already joined company X and people here are so good. I’m looking for any suggestions or your personal experience. Note: I didn’t told to Indian finance company that I joined MNC X. And the profile is in Analytics one is BFSI and another one is HR.

Hey grapevine folks, I hope you all are enjoying your Saturday. I hope everyone one of you here once in your life have always thought about karma. Ki if you are doing good deeds , being good to others will result in good karma and you will reap its benefits in future and vice-versa. But is the above philosophy is valid in today's time in kaliyuga where the money and power rules. People with connections are creating havoc over normal people. Shouldn't we now think instead of making our karma good let's do what it takes us to be successful by hook or by crook? What are your views? And if you have any personal experience please do share it.

Some of my friends are working and mid-scale startups that have been delaying salaries since late last year. Is this becoming a norm now or was it always like this?

For some, talking in a meeting can be very easy and natural, but for some, this might look like a big task. A team that creates an open environment and seniors who are welcoming and not bossy are extremely important. I have seen people with good ideas and sensible POVs keeping quiet in a meeting because they were cautious of being judged by their colleagues and seniors who wouldn't stop making jokes on juniors to be the funny ones in the room. Thoughts?

Does this happen to you'll also, where you forget name/keyword and then it take allot of mental pushing/effort to get back it to your mind. And the you think am I having a problem? is it something that happens to me only or others also? Is it natural?

I have observed this( at least with my self) that whatever goals you set for your self ( X salary, Y net worth etc etc.) once you're there it becomes ordinary extremely fast and it starts feeling normal again and on you go towards the next milestone. I was wondering when does this end? Do any of you have reached a point where you don't have the lust for more? You're happy with what you have? Did you do something actively to make that mindset? Or were you a "satisfied with what you have" kind of a person all your life?

I love building consumer products. But unfortunately I also love $$$ do you think it would be a good idea to switch to VC side of growth and marketing? Or will I end up completely miserable (but with money xP)
