Don't get married until before 30 !

Genuinely curious- why 30?

Till 30 you have seen a pool of people, so you know who is husband material, you ould have worked on side hustle if any. Not possible after marriage.

Get out of your hometown as soon as possible. That comfort zone will not help you grow as a person.

From a woman - get married soon. Don't get carried away pop propaganda like work for passion, live as you wish, company values and some such rubbish in the corporate world. At 50 years of age, you would care about sharing your life with someone. Corporate world cares a foot about any woman's well being for all their propaganda. Keep your personal life as your first priority and treat corporate world like a speck of dust on your feet. And listen to your parents more than the feminist propaganda that float around on the internet with 1000s egging, lying and deluding you with plenty of false hopes that you can have it all in life. There is only one genuine player in your life, your parents. Neither friends, nor colleagues, nor any random person on internet including me.

Don't be stuck in your own head. Try to talk to people, get more information about what you don't know, and stay optimistic.

Don’t seek validation from others. Master the art of personal branding.

Didn’t really understand your comment. Did it imply that this advice was generic? I honestly said this basis what I would tell my younger self :) Based on what I seriously should have worked towards 😊

Discuss salaries. Know what you’re worth. Ask for it.

Ahh! Finally a comment not involving “marriage”Phew, that was a long scroll😮‍💨

How do you come up with a number/range for salary that you think you should be paid? (Not considering years of exp.. just cuz I think YOE isn’t the best evaluator of skills)

And what are the ways one can assess their own skills compared to the other peers within their industry(same job role and level)?

Don't stay up all night. Sleep at a sane time. Latest by 1.30-2am.

Kill that damn self-doubt 😭 , practice gratitude with each hike/milestone. And chase knowledge, it will reap rewards in known ways

Never undersell your skills. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you’re worth.

Back yourself, don’t be overly critical of yourself. Take those damn chances even if you feel you are not a 100% ready.
