Why do I feel I'm fed up with corporate life, no spark, is anyone enjoying?? Or is it just me
that feeling of life which was present suddenly disappeared, only money talk exists with people constantly judging you by the money you make

Everyone feels that at some point of their career, very normal. May be leave the job for a few months and you will suddenly start feeling the reverse of it!
Its not the job or the lack of "purpose". Its just too much competition. The competition is not just limited to the work, but in all walks of life. Its like being in a battlefield 24X7. You have to fight it out in office, if not you are replaced. Come back home, it s competition for family life - For men, this pressure is even higher. Its easy to say, quit the rat race. But we cannot, its a matter of life and death. Unlike EU nations where a person can chose between success and simple life without sacrificing quality of life, In india we cannot. If we do not have the perceived level of success, we are left behind. Imagine running a marathon like a 100m sprint, thats life in India.
This is the worst time to be a employee but best time to be a entrepreneur. Being a businessman is very difficult if you are a first gen entrepreneur.
Not really bro. Left TCS after 8yrs in Bangalore ..staying in my hometown.. First 5months was nurtuing for Product management skills but felt like leaving tech jobs..I'm doing freelance writing and also doing ecommerce....
Now actually working for more hours but in the end feels more satisfying than getting a monthly paycheck..pressure is there but I'm in "home" village..yes not town..no air pollution.. No noise..
I'm.working on my first novel too..
Obviously I'm getting less than an IT job..But no rent,groceries are priced less.., vegetables are fresh,more importantly I won't be called as an outsider here(cos I faced it a couple of times)..But always a Kannadiga helped me more than my own state people.. Bengaluru was always kind to me.. But Home is Home..
Pursue what you love.. More important than that..Find what you are passionate about and "INVEST" you time in your passion.. Cos in the end..Money is always Ultimate!!😅😅
I thought people who earn better LPA packages would be happy but it seems in the long run everyone realises that earning better money solves money problems but not necessarily makes happy in other aspects of life. 🙃
because not everyone is meant to do jobs, we are just doing it like a bunch of sheep, we didn't give ourselves enough time & efforts to find what we actually want to do in life
- Because you are probably doing a shitty job in either a startup, an IT service, a BPO where your impact is minimal or doesn't make a difference to the society
- Probably your pay is hardly 3-4 lakhs a month, bulk of which would go to taxes. You see the multi million dollar houses or yatches on netflix and you know you cant afford them in your lifetime.
- You are sold to the woke agenda due to which you neither have a family, a loving wife/husband or kids. All you are left probably is a mute animal, pink hair and lots of exes baggage.
How do you rectify this?
- Get a better job, probably one which is exciting and fast paced (investment banking, private equity, ngo in africa, journalist)
- Leave India and head out to a low tax paying nation (not Australia, US, Europe which are equally if not more depressing and shitty)
- Find someone to love, marry them, raise kids to take off the mind from work and have a good balance.
Totally relateable, i got laid off 3 months back from my company literally out of thin air, although i found another job in next 2 months
But these 2 months in which i was at my hometown reflecting what i was doing in general with my life in blr made me think is it really worth it?
Honestly after earning more than 1L the utility received from the money starts to decrease but you are in your head still competing with fellow colleagues/friends making your life miserable every single day
The stress doesn't come from how many hours you are working, it comes from how the money is being made because of a fear of losing it if we don't push hard enough
I have started to invest my money in starting small business in my home town which gives me 10k a month, yeah this is what i used to pay every month for going out in BLR, but the thing is , the money received from the shop I opened in the first month gave me more happiness than earnings for my job which gives me 20x more
Its more because i know this can be sustained without any hassle in the long run unlike a job
Start something of you own bro even if it gives peanuts... that's the only way you can escape this matrix
Yes, I like corporate life. It pays well and I like software engineering as my field of work.
Money is necessary everywhere in life, and people will judge you everywhere for having or not having it, whether within or outside corporate. That's modern human life on this planet. 🤷♂️
If work is not fulfilling, find spark outside of work. I think it's not only corporate, this is a phase of growing up.
Only sensible answer!
By reading so many replies, I feel how so many of us are entitled to ask the govts for a better life. Or the situations.
Nobody forced us to be in corporate, stop complaining and see how you can make your life better.
Yes! The initial year's grind might be difficult, earn more, spend frugally and save enough so that you are some what financially independent.
Start looking at what changes you can start doing to your life so that you also make a decent living and also enjoy the journey!
Maybe move to a tier 2 city, start a business, can be anything.
Stop complaining! That's the first step
