Wait what you guys get dopamine from doing work?

Clarify your values, and understand why you want to work, and what you want to work on. This takes time.

Dopamine comes from new stimuli! Anything you can do to dig up new projects or do things you don't know how to do yet? You need stimulation and/or rewards to get that hit. Hard to make yourself care about things you no longer consider "rewards" if you've aged beyond them, but adding new ones will do the trick...

Hey mates, I have an overall experience of 14 years with 6lakh CTC.

Nothing is changed financially but in a better role. Have got certified in GCP. I stayed here for too long because I was looking for an onshore opportunity but now luck is not favouring me in H1B lottery. Looking for your valuable suggestions!

I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

I am a senior accountant with a masters and CPA credential and 3 years experience. A colleague was just promoted to senior with no credentials and 10k higher salary. My boss said he can match salary in 3 months when we have our annual review cycle. I don’t think I should have to wait. Also I said I should absolutely be paid higher than peer given my credentials. How much more though??? Also should I push to have it matched now?

Is your compensation and performance reviewed automatically on a regular/annual basis? I don’t get either of these unless I ask for it! Found out others in our company experienced the same as me. Lowball Salaries trending as a common pain point

I like my team and work life balance, during the pandemic was very beneficial to my wellbeing. However feel I owe it to myself now, to be earning what I’m worth in the market (I’m underpaid by a fair bit) especially with inflation costs

I need some advise/opinions please guys 😅.
I have two job offers from companies in the teleco industry both are offering the same base.

Company 1 is a recent merger/joint venture of two big household names making them one of the largest in the industry.
They have offered me a Senior Engineer role with the potential of growing into a Principal.

Company 2 is also well known but definitely what you would consider a smaller rival. They have offered me a Lead Engineer
