I recently landed a mid level role at a reputable shop after a few years in agencies that didn’t have their strategy offering really thought out. I’m nervous I lack the structure and foundations to be a good strategist. I’ve been attending workshops and reading for years but it’s hard to that feeling off — a combo of imposter syndrome and also knowing I have a few gaps.

Which one is better?

Infosys 13L + 1L joining bonus (11.7 is fixed) (location: Bangalore) in Development role

CTS 12.45 L (12L is fixed) (location: Bangalore) in Development role

Amazon 14L + 6 L joining bonus (location: Chennai) in Support role

I'm currently in support role and main reason for switch is to work in dev. Please suggest which offer i should take.

Current CTC 4.37 L, YOE 3.2

Have you walked away from somebody you loved? And why?

A long post: seeking some perspective. My husband of 2 years that I’ve been in a relationship with for more than 8 years just woke up one day and told me that he’s unhappy in our relationship. I’m devastated because he’s never expressed anything like this in the 8 years. He’s been super supportive and loving, even when we were in a long distance relationship. He supported my career and dreams and this just doesn’t make sense. We have gotten a counselor but things aren’t getting better. Comment>

Brought my gf sushi take out to her house when she got off of work. She didn't like the meal I got her and started to eat the roll i got for myself. She noticed I wasn't eating so I told her I ate before rather than tell her she was actually eating my dinner. She's now mad at me that I "lied" even though I did it so she wouldn't be embarrassed. Who's in the wrong

For diet reasons, I don't drink alcohol. But I drink sodas occasionally. Like at company happy hours, etc. From a health perspective, is this kind of hypocritical? I think they are both nutritionally near 0 value. I do enjoy the taste of soda more than alcohol. But I can't help but feel like if I'm willing to drink sodas, a beer or two a week shouldn't be much different. If anything, it's lower calorie per can lol.
