I’ve recently become a Creative Director and thought that stepping up would open more doors, but I’ve been struggling to land the kind of job opportunities I used to. With each rejection, I’m starting to question my work, and it’s taking a toll. I’m not here to ask for a job, but I would really value a portfolio review to help me understand what’s holding me back. If an ECD or even a CCO is open to taking a look and offering some insight, I’d love the chance to chat.

I had to leave the US before my lease ended due to visa reasons and subleased the apartment. I will be returning to the US on L1A shortly after the sublease ends (but before the term of the lease expires), could that jeopardize my return on L1A?

Hey fishes. I have been offered Management Consultant role with CTC break up in terms of JB, RB, fixed and variable. So is the fixed amount my gross salary without any other deduction except TDS, or will the organisation contribution to PF be also deducted from the fixed component? Also, will claimable components like LTA, mobile bill reimbursement etc. be in addition to this fixed component or will they be included in it?

YOE: 5Y
Current fixed package: 11LPA (Consultant)
Offered Fixed Package: 16-17LPA (Consultant)
Is it good to go or offered package is comparatively less. Kindly suggest.

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?
