Is a 6 figure salary worth being micro managed all day, having your work re done by your boss over night without feedback, constantly being told no but also told to bring big ideas, long commutes, being in meetings all day (and not even able to get a word in) and what free time you have left is responding to emails?

Sorry you are going through this. But know that a 6 fig salary does not require this so your choice is not 6 fig salary or better work environment. You should look elsewhere to find a better environment

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?

Hi Fishes,

B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.
