YOE is 11.7, current CTC is 18.5LPA (15.7 fixed + 2.8L variable) Got offer from IBM for CTC 20.5LPA fixed + 1.5L joining bonus. They reduced my expected CTC during the package discussion saying they can give hike based on my 'fixed' salary in current organization which is 15.71 LPA. Since I badly wanted to switch from my current company said OK to this. Now I feel bad thinking this hike offered by IBM is very less compared to my actual CTC 18.5LPA. Is really IBM give hike based on fixed?

I told my husband this morning about an issue we just discovered on my project - we’ve been discussing for months and nobody thought to mention this sooner. My husband said it sounds like we need to have dedicated communication channels to discuss these things 😣 YES DEAR THAT’S WHAT WE’VE BEEN DOING

I actually get a kick out of telling people the kinds of projects I work on.
Reactions range from, "And that's a thing? That people pay other people to do?" to "And what makes you qualified to give that kind of advice?"

I try the same with my wife every Friday during dinner.
Without fail, she says “what are you talking about? You make slides for a living. I develop novel medicines.”
Then I shut up and drink more wine.
Married 28 years. She’s given up trying to explain what I do. Lol.

Hey you are lucky to have an SO to put things in perspective for you.
👏🏼 great post. What we do absolutely matters to NO ONE
That’s good. That is important. Doing work on COVID matters. Most other stuff is under the radar and we can’t simply explain that doesn’t make our spouse look puzzled, roll eyes, go Huh? or loving nod in support, while thinking about something they saw on their smartphones. LOL. I don’t blame them.

Hey at least she was listening
Me: The client is being difficult. They aren’t being collaborative
Her: Why did they hire you if they didn’t want to work with you?
Me: Silence
So real, this cut deep

Your wife should be on our next townhall. To bring things into perspective for everyone.
Praise and appreciate her every day! 💕
I’m on the technical side of things in Product Development. When I talk about work, my wife says “I hear Charlie Brown’s teacher talking.”

Let your wife know how popular she is on FB. We love her
She’s right. My wife won’t remember the client. But she remembers names of people. That’s safe.
