I am good with where I’m at in my career for the first time ever. I’m learning, feel like I can fully support my team and maintain WLB. Someone told me if I’m not trying enough if I’m not trying to promo (it’s my first year at my level). Yes I want a promo, but I know I have a lot to learn before then and I’m on my way... I would hate to promo too early and screw over my team. Am I missing something? I’m anxious for some reason now.

Sounds like you are happy and still learning. Don’t fall into the trap of the rat race. Certainly don’t let other insecure folks question your sanity.

Does this person know you or your long term goals? I find that people who make broad statements like that have a lot of maturing/growing up to do. I personally wouldn’t agree with that statement for everyone. I think focusing on your WLB and supporting your team will give you many other benefits that may not necessarily be as obvious/quantifiable as a promo but are just as important.

That person gave you bad advice. There's nothing wrong with knowing you aren't ready - it sounds like you are setting yourself up for success, which is something a lot of people struggle to do. Keep doing what you're doing.

Congrats! Don’t be anxious, continue to be happy! Most people are miserable so they will project their personal experience on to you. Enjoy it and don’t let anyone bring you down.

If you are in a good place *stay there and grow*. Using this as a foundation to focus on really growing depth of skill and knowledge will set you up for success at promo when the time is right.

Rushing up the ladder makes you very good at climbing and very bad at the actual job, which in turn makes you and your team stressed 24/7.

Has anyone just been feeling pretty sad and down these past few months? I’ve never really felt this way pre-pandemic but now no matter what I do (workout,talk to friends, yoga) I still feel waves of sadness. I live in a cold city with strict covid lockdowns so I know that that is contributing to my sadness but just wanted to see if anyone else feels like this and how you are coping? I also haven’t traveled or gone on many social outings since last March so Ik that is taking a toll on me as well

I want to be happy alone before I meet anyone new. Any tips or advice on how I can effectively accomplish this? Thank you!

Does it bother you when someone you care about won't let you treat them (like on special occasions such as birthdays and stuff)? I don't know why it's upsetting me so much, and I'm trying to figure out what the root of my issue is. I'm getting overly emotional about it. It makes me feel like I'm making it about me vs. them, which is not what I want to do at all. On the contrary, I want them to enjoy whatever I treat them to, but this is all backfiring because I can't control my emotions.

So...what did you non Indian ladies think of Indian Matchmaking on Netflix? 😀
