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

You should give preference to your likings instead of money.
16 lacs CTC is good

Try to live happily with what you have

Keep working hard bro and make sure that you don't join the group of laid off employees, else God forbid you might have to face the real depression.

Take your leaves, spend time with your family and especially with yourself. Play some sports or go to Gym it will help you beat anxiety.

Love your work and observe the people around you with less CTC and higher experience.

16 is not less package. Upgrade yourself and start applying for better roles. You can definitely increase your package

Seek therapist or counselling help. Depression is very misunderstood and even if you aren’t depressed a fresh professional perspective will help you look at things differently. Some comments here are very ignorant and insensitive.

Try to do something for yourself everyday, some yoga, music, spend time with fam and friends, journal, sleep+ eat on time. Your salary is more than enough, don’t compare yourself to others you are still young.

Everything will be fine bro

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.

But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
