I'm just struggling with the basic things
I'm 26m with 11 lpa with 4yoe, I can see ppl here posting salaries with 20, 30,40+ lpa CTC. But here I'm just struggling here with my life with mere consistency, have no friends, home env. I'm literally living a homeless life, except there are walls around me. I have lost all interest in showbiz (never had in first place).. all the glittery things, showing off as 'cool'. I'm totally okay being cringy and awkward (I've always been that way maybe).. I even lost track of what this post was supposed to be about.. wow.
One interview, 1000+ job opportunities
Take a 10-min AI interview to qualify for numerous real jobs auto-matched to your profile 🔑
Just be thankful of what you have your salary is dream salary for many at this age and if you start comparing then it will never stop . Also having no friends is better then having snake friends who betray you from behind . Just start loving the way whatever you have and start accepting you will see a change . Also remember what you see on social media is always not what it seems when you see their personal lives you will love your life more .
I agree, I don't use social media.. but regarding money i think it's always better to have more money as lack of money can put you into a clutchy, deadlock situation.. also having even 1 friend is always better than having no friends..
Agree with @Osho , on top of that just be possitive and keep working to improve and get better career wise
Looks like I am reading about myself.
Had same package 6 Years ago.
Saw many ups and downs in life, almost thrice came back from death bed, lost dear ones and almost had lost others but found God, experience his/her power, was always spiritual and non-materialistic but now more than ever. Feel always blissful, carrying lord in my heart, who has filled all open scars and much more. Grateful and thankful for everything I got and everything I don't. Now after 10 years of experience, God granted me the opportunity to become a Manager and earn 40+ but now irrespective I am happy, happy that he is there and he gave me this life. Life is pure, life is beautiful. God is kind ❤️
Yeah man, I too got spiritually inclined after facing so much .. totally lost my senses and got it bit back. Again something happened which totally dragged me down. but spirituality surely is the core of life... I feel a bit better now knowing someone who so firmly believes in god.. I'm barely able to construct sentences and maintain a flow. It's mostly my home env maybe.. time to change places again and focus on myself.. I hope.
If I did have some belief beforehand then i wouldn't be in this situation in the first place... But better late.
After few years you will miss this low salary but less stressful life. Even if u start getting 20 lpa u won’t be happy bcz u will start chasing 30 lpa. Its a never ending pursuit
That is a very negative way of looking at things I think..
Agreed. There is no end to this chase. Salary has become for corporates, what was marks in School days as students, mad rat race to get more and compete more. There is always someone in friend circle earning significantly more, and that keeps making one to think to jump higher in salary bracket. And then there is the aspect of brand of the company too. There is just no end to it.
Having said that, at 4 yrs experienced, he should be certainly earning above 12, so he is just a little below the min mark.
Bhai hate mil skta h pr, "Be a Man,Start loving something be it sports, wood crafts, gaming, gym whatever. Enjoy Early morning cool breeze by going for a walk. Enjoy that whisky you love at noon. Once in a positive mindset. Start the fucking Grind. Mindset matters.".
I would recommend watching documentaries on sportsmen. It for sure gives me a boost and i learn a lot since it has a physical aspect to wins.
I run 1 kms daily, exercise and practice combat sports. Have gamed enough dota, cgo, aoe, sc2. I Don't drink alcohol.These are very materialistic things i guess, I'm not attracted to these things anymore as I said. I have started reading books recently.
Please look average salary of Indian,and then cry how less privileged u are
Do u feel pity and content after knowing someone is earning less than you?
I don't i but your bragging here,you are 26 u have more income potential that 90%of this country,and ur suffering is unnecessary, basically what ur bragging here is u can't afford a great life style,not you can't have a descent life.
There are people with real problems at your age ,not some FOMO crap like you , and u know the funny part even if u get 40 lac I will still be miserable .This was not about money in the first place it's about how stupid your mind is
I will suggest, do this in sequence
1)Take sick leave for a week or 10 days . Start a bike ride or use local transport like rural buses, board the general compartment of a train to travel.
2)The corporate culture has made every conversation with calculated words which is based on an inner motive and doesn't feel genuine at all. So strike conversation with people while traveling and you would be surprised that most will reply back as normal people.
- After the journey you might feel better. Later plan to Join some running groups, badminton 🏸 or hiking... Any thing where socialization with people who aren't from your corporate life.
Absolutely 🙌🏻 that sounds best idea. But that's where the money component comes in. With my salary, being given to parents, loans rents. It becomes a bit difficult to do things. It's like a deadlock. I will try to get a better paying job first and follow this advice. Sounds great 🙌🏻💯
After chasing the ctc finally i came to realise it was not just about the money it was about the surroundings, the company you keep and your inner self. Acceptance is the key, chasing is not bad but just be true to your purpose.
Ask yourself what exactly would make you happy now? Is it more ctc/ a good project/ good colleagues/ good partner/ good friends anything and then decide how do you wanna pursue.
Most probably you will feel that you need all because you will always compare to different people. It will never end brother. Pain is inevitable but accepting the pain and spread kindness will help.
Maybe try donating to poor people/ orphanage/ feed older people/ take care of innocent animals. It will make your day.
Would u like to exchange your salary with mine after giving that huge speech?
BC I'm 29M with 6LPA. You are doing better than me. Now should I cry like you because others are doing great ? Yeh kya gandu logic h be ?
Comparison is the thief of Joy.
If 11 LPA feels less for you, grind and apply to only high paying companies and switch.
No ? Ok. Want to build something of your own ? Do it.
No ? Ok. Go F*** yourself because you are seeing your life as an absolute tragedy. Its you the problem here. Not other's salaries or lifestyle. You. Yes YOU. Comparing everything with every other thing.
Actually, you should start crying if you are already not. But If you think you have hit the wall in your own capabilities and skills, then it's okay to feel the way you're doing.
