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

This is self made pressure. First 8-10 years are to work and make a personal brand . Salary is decent enough

What about after 8 - 10 years ? 🤣 We have to suffer

Wow... Such a unique way to flaunt your yoe and ctc...

Yeah , I am also earning less than many of my batch mates and colleagues but I do know for a fact that their and my skills cannot be compared and I know certain things which they dont. And depression is something which will crumble you down If it takes over. And If you feel you are being part of it then please consult a professional.

Bhai, gratitude is the solution for what you are going through :)
Be thankful for the good things you have right now. You might think nothing is good.
Look around and you will see the family who stands with you in thick and thin, fresh air, the amazing food you are having. Say thank you to God for all these and peace will be upon you.

Ultimately this boils down to work life balance. See what can be done on your current project to protect your well being or leave. There are several firms that won’t have you feeling that way

Brother,
You earn well. Your concern is that you are unable to give time to what you want to do.
Simple suggestions:
1. Switch off your phone after work hours. Better, buy an alternate no. just for personal use.
2. Keep your phone away when you are with your loved ones. Try it... It's hard... It's a mental exercise you have to master.
3. Build your profile and find a better company!
4. Meditate (phone away, just alone) just for 15 mins. See if you can avoid the urge to speak to someone and just breathe.

Itna drama 😁😁😁😁
Arre agar CTC km lg rha hai toh switch krlo yr.. but higher the pay more is the workload..

Good timing dear intern..😃 first you bring me coffee and get the photocopies ready for the meeting then I would tell you about how much we are getting paid.

I think you should treat yourself better like giving rewards. I believe you should take a week off and visit the places you dreamed of

This is more of a quora's "What is your salary and are you happy with it" typ post where people post answers for validation

Detach yourself from work. Take some time off. Work is not = life. We all go through this and what works sometimes is realigning priorities, taking couple of days off and rethinking your way forward.

Hey dude ,

U r not alone , there are many people who are working like that , it's u who should take decision to talk to ur manager and take a two week off .

Then decide next step

10 yoe and CTC 12

Bro 16lpa for 4.5 is not depressing!

Calm down
Look around you

Bro my advice is start using dating or matrimonial apps or get married it’s best option to avoid loneliness feelings. You will get good support from your partner.

Your CTC is good compared to the market condition. So please don't be depressed..

Bhai idhar 5lpa hai salary aate hi Raja jaisa feel hota. Maybe it's a phase it will pass

Consult someone who can 1st help you come out of depression and then ask the same question to yourself. Everyone has different outlook towards life. You need to find out what is in it for you. All the best. If needed we can catch up within tcs

That’s a good ctc. Think of people who doesn’t earn much.

Go for good product based company.
