Hello All, I have one question. I was a fresher and joined one organization as external employee with third party payroll. I worked as external payroll for 1 year then I became permanent employee of organization was working. When i was a fresher my salary was below tax slab so my external exployer did not generate any form 16 for me. When tried to switch my new organization wants me to submit form 16 as BGC process. Will my offer get reverted?Cognizant Tata Consultancy HCL Technologies Accenture

Always changing. The more you have the more you want. Learning to be satisfied is hard
66k is rough depending on living situation and location.
My salary went from 59k household to 500k household in about 7 years, we started to feel really comfy around the 200k mark. (No kids, live in LCOL)
Thanks M1, helpful for sure. I’m 39 and switched into Tech (engineering, now product and people leader w/in product) at 30 from clinical healthcare.
Something I find myself still struggling with at times is the notion you focused on. Do I think I’m worth x? 🤔 (my imposter syndrome gets the best of me here sometimes) and I think no way am I worth 250-400k etc.
The reality is, and where you noted and where I strive to get, it’s not about that vs what the market is willing to pay. 🙏
My wife and I are in Chicago. I think how comfortable you are is really dependent upon if you rent or own and if you bought your house before 2021.
Definitely. We built a new house in 2020 for $350k with basically no money down. Refinanced in 2021 at 2.75%.
Our mortgage, taxes, insurance, and PMI only costs us $2100/month - roughly 9% of our HHI. No way we could have that today.
I make 64k in Tennessee, my mortgage is about have the average rent and I live alone no kids or pets. It feels like more money than I know what to do with.
I suppose so, utilities are stupid cheap and the luck of timing with my home might be the biggest factors. When I made 45k it felt a little unsteady but still could afford to do the things I really wanted.
I make ~$400k in a mcol. Single, 30 years old. Income satisfaction peaked around $200k back when I was hcol. Past that point, I have become more stressed about money since there are more things I want but I don't make enough for them (rising expectations and all that).
To pre-empt everyone - no, moving from hcol to mcol did not negatively impact happiness and I did it because we went remote and I wanted to get out of NYC

60, 70, 90, 120, 150k is a lot of money... until you make it
I make $130k in NYC with 4 YOE. It is enough to support a decent lifestyle but I am always wanting more
80k in MCOL, I feel pretty happy with my life. Last year I was at 40k a year so it’s been a really nice change of pace. I know I’ll always want more and more so don’t think there’s really specific all end number.
To cover rent and support my family, I feel like is just need 40k more
(I make 108 in NYC)
Yup i earn enough. I was at 65k in 2014, then 150k in 2019, and thats also when i was happy. Much higher now and just saving the rest.

Yep. I make about 300k, my partner makes about the same, we don't have and never want kids, money is not a factor in doing anything we want to do
I earn as low as $120 monthly In my current job. That’s approximately $1440 annually. If there’s any chance you can help with any remote job. Kindly connect. I will be grateful
Our HHI is $700k, mcol, two kids. Money is not a factor when it comes to purchases but we like to take care in our spending, investing, saving
