Only ₹27 LPA with 8 years of experience? That's extremely concerning.

I'm honestly surprised you've managed to survive this long. By the 15th of every month, your bank account must be entering conservation mode. Forget investments, at this salary I'm assuming you've already optimized your lifestyle to the point where every meal is a cost-benefit analysis.

My recommendation is to buy 45 packets of Maggi at the beginning of each month (15 days × 3 meals). Even D-Mart margins might be too expensive, so try negotiating directly with the manufacturer for bulk rates.

Also consider:

- Cancelling all streaming subscriptions.
- Reusing tea bags for maximum ROI.
- Turning off the refrigerator at night to save electricity.
- Using office Wi-Fi as your primary internet provider.
- Scheduling all mobile charging during office hours.
- Attending every corporate event for the free snacks.

On a serious note, if ₹27 LPA with 8 YOE is making you wonder how to survive, then no package on earth is going to be enough.

But yes, to be safe, keep switching every year. After all, happiness is always exactly one offer letter away.
But be ready to get whooped away by HR when AI or layoff to be done, as you will be at higher package.

As Thanos said - Perfectly balanced

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?
