Hi Everyone! I have been working in Salesforce for about a year now. But I am not enjoying my work as it's mainly on backend. I have been wanting to move to Web Dev. But someone suggested that like if I like frontend I should try LWC instead as I'm already into Salesforce. So I'm quite confused which way should I go. Can anyone help me with the same Tata ConsultancyAccentureDeloitteZS AssociatesInfosysSalesforceSalesforceAmazonMicrosoft

Can I apply infosys after 6 months after rejecting their offer ? Should I use a new Email ID?
N.B.
I have rejected the offer due to parental COVID infection on middle of second wave. I need a long leave which may not be possible while serving notice period. Informed and mailed HR with proper documents.HR accepted the same politely.

Don't sweat the small stuff; we all were there at some point in our lives. I am now close to retirement (late 50s, retiring before I am 60) and have surpassed all of my monetary goals (no debt, saving 50% of take home), and I am just now finally feeling 'accomplished'. You are on the right path. Just keep doing what you are doing. Congratulations!
This is more common than you’d think. Millionaires rarely have cash in the bank, and most of it is tied up in some way or the other. Know your goals and priorities. You are accomplishing a lot with those accounts and being able to enjoy your time out with family.
I feel you. I'm married with two kids, two mortgages and have been trying to max out pension to around £60k per annum for last couple of years. Got my eye firmly set in retiring in next 10 years, but feels like a lot of sacrifice in the here and now, especially given my partner was made redundant in August 24, so we've been on only my salary for the last year.
Can you elaborate on what you lack? Can you afford groceries? Do you eat at nice restaurants? Do you take vacations? Can you afford an emergency? Do you like your house? Do you spend time with your kids? If all this true you are in the top 1-2% of the world :)

Congrats! Now that you have those things started, you will probably find that things accumulate quicker and as you move on, you will have more liquid wealth as well.
Hopefully 🙏
It's a matter of perspective. We can get into the position of feeling cash poor, like we just don't have anything in our pockets to spend frivolously (as we may have done years ago). From what you're saying, however, you've got real wealth in the sense of having a home and family. All things considered, and looking at the shape of the world, you can be gratified to be in the position you're in.

It’s not supposed to feel great if you are doing it right.
Just focus on family life and mostly ignore the numbers in the accounts.
Plan for life after early retirement.

First of all, congratulations.
You say you want to feel more accomplished. Can you reflect on what that really means? What is it that you want that is missing?
I suppose earlier in life I would reward myself with things and now I’m trying to refrain from splurging on the nice clothes, fancy car etc. I also don’t want to be patting myself on the back too much so that I keep pushing and working hard but as a result I guess I’m not feeling wealthy. It’s probably just mindset I need to work on.
This is after savings. You’re choosing to save. If you didn’t have enough to save it would be a different conversation.
