I can actually afford a house in my hometown, I’m near all my family and some of my friends are here yet. I also feel more connected to the city. My only concern is that I’m missing out on something else in life and worried I might not find a gf/wife by making this move. I’m not having luck currently though either and my big dreams of everything being different in the big city never came true. Yeah I had some fun times dating a lot of women, but it didn’t amount to anything in the end. Overall at a crossroads. Any advice? I’m a 31 year old male if that matters.

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.
