Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.

I was happy at 5.3, i was happy at 15 , bro this package of yours is enough to put good food and shelter over you ... Develope a habbit to thank God for what you have rather than getting depressed about what you could possibly have. If in depression think of people loosing job during covid ...you way much better than that

7 yoe CTC: 12 lpa, that too after recent appraisal 😂 also work life balance ki lagi padi hai 😅 but depression won't take you anywhere. Just work on your skills, sooner or later you will land at better place. Also, don't compare your self with someone. You will always find someone better than you. Just focus on yourself and work on yourself.

@powerbi One of the best companies to work for - good leadership, appraisal, bonus, work culture (P.S I have only worked for Accenture internal development project - client facing projects may vary in experience as a lot depends on client, but working just for Accenture without client in picture the experience is best - but then it's like low risk low reward and high risk high reward, if you are internal project resource even if do rocket science stuff you get normal ACE award and recognition (which is not bad) but in client facing if you do rocket science stuff you get a lot of recognition, you immediately become a hot resource, hikes and promotions are much better, bt downside is, if the client is khadoos and doesn't recognise and appreciate your effort then you get 0 and depression after hard work - which is the story everywhere and in Accenture I have seen company even fighting the client if they are not doing right by the employees - so overall achi hai mast company hai, lekin fir bhi prefer karunga ki Microsoft, Apple, Google jaisi company me jana )

I know someone earning the lesser package with 11 YOE. Has been consistently top rated in appraisals, mind you.

People are feeling bad for 16lpa with less than 5 YOE? Don't know where the society is moving towards!

your peer group must be something extraordinary. My last CTC was 28 lakh per annum. Then I decided to do a PG and changed the direction of my career. My current CTC is 7.5 lpa. But I am happy. My entire work experience is around 5.5 years. Everything depends on your perspective. Find something that makes you happy. Money is important but dont make it the center of your world.

Bro, i can assure you that you're much better than 95% of the people at your age. Most of us are in the same boat trying to match up with our friends. Try not to focus on what others earn, rather how much they save. Learn saving! That's all that helps in life.

Sometimes you need to find joy in things you do. Work can be a lot sometimes, so take a break, go out on a trip with friends and click tons of photos.

Remember if god forbid you die, you will be replaced by the company in a matter of days.
Only your family and friends will remember you. So make that remembrance worth it.

Spend some cash over them, help the needy, do some charity, these things help in astounding ways.

Coming to the package, it is based on personal satisfaction.

Your earning 16.5 LPA Your expectations 22 LPA

When you're earning 22 LPA you will be happy for a few months then your expectation would be 30 LPA

When you're earning 30 LPA then your expectation would be 45 LPA

THIS WILL KEEP ON GOING
Strive for 22 LPA or higher, give your best for that but don't sacrifice your mental peace for that.
