I had a wonderful year at D this year (I know many didn’t and I wish you all success & fortune in the future)! I was promoted to M and make great money! I was a refugee so it feels really good to see hard work pay but what I wanna say is that besides my wife, I can’t even share this happiness with my broader family (not even my dad) coz they aren’t doing as well as I am and I feel that out of jealousy or even maybe healthy jealousy they might give me the evil eye! So I haven’t shared with them

Congrats big man coming in as a refugee to working at a big 4 as a manager is a huge achievement you don’t have to share it with your family if you feel like they are going to go give you the evil eye. Go out with your wife to a fancy restaurant and celebrate this win!

Congratulations, that’s awesome.
While I certainly had a rough first half of the year at Deloitte (lmao), I’m very happy for you and glad you’re crushing it, that’s a huge achievement.

Hopefully you can find a way to share the success with your family without the nazy but if not, atleast you can celebrate with your wife!

And fwiw, good for you. You deserve to enjoy your success 🫡
