Is it a good move? Currently in the industry as senior financial analyst, $120 base + 10% bonus + stock option (but the company is not public yet). Got an offer from A&M for associate (yes, down-leveled) $100K base + ?? Bonus. I heard associate TC average to $150K last year, and if I can make senior next year, TC average to $210K. I haven’t really thought about what I wanted to do long term. I tried industry for half a year it wasn’t really my thing, so I’m going back the client serving for now.

Ladies, How do you cope up with fellow desi women gaslighting you when you are in a group thing/ get together and offline too?

Any suggestions welcomed.
