Anyone else who, for one reason or another, took a lower salary job? I was laid off from a tech firm recently and found a new job in a different industry with nicer colleagues and better work life balance, although my salary dropped by 25%.

My current salary is enough to pay off bills and the work is easier, although I feel bad every now and then about the drop in salary and disposable income. Who's in a similar boat, and what are some ways you've found to adapt?

As a third year experienced associate, I am up for promotion this year. I know for a fact that all the managers and directors whom I have worked with are very supportive of my promotion. I had perfect snapshots with performance differentiators. But my utilization and over time has been lower than the required metric. It was around ~82% and only ~150 hrs of over time. Should I still be hoping for the promotion or should I start looking out for better opportunities?

Hi & welcome.
Tell me your stories. Why made you decide to choose a career that's different and creative? I'll start. I am an extrovert. I am not very keen of studying and that, ideally is the reason why engineering or medical was not my cup of tea. I chose Journalism and Mass Media. In the academics, we had multiple subjects and one of them was Writing for media. This was the beginning. This is where I thought I can be a writer. A Content Writer. Besides this, I am love Rhyming Words.
