Myself. I get sh*t done

likeupliftingsmart

Impossible to name just one. I grew up enamored with Lena Horne’s elegance and Eartha Kitt’s sass. As I got older, I found strength in the progressive strangeness of Erykah Badu and contemporary artists like Torkwase Dyson, Elizabeth Catlett, Wangechi Mutu, and Chakaia Booker. Today, I salivate over the richness of authors like Ta-Nehisi Coates and Tomi Adeyemi. And these are just the artists. Countless thinkers and rebels and fuck-shit-uppers have and continue to inspire me. They remind me that I’m not alone and that I too can do whatever the hell I want to.

Currently placed at 20 lpa with 7 years of exp and wife at 12 lpa.
And before moving she would have to put down the papers and search for job there afresh.
I'm also having offer for 30+ lpa in India.
Would it be a wise decision to move there. Would I be able to save enough and enjoy as well?

In a meeting we a client, we were looking at a stock image of a smiling Black man holding a baseball bat while wearing a hoodie. The client comments that it’s the wrong way to hold a bat. Cool. But, then follows up and says, “Also, he just looks aggressive. Like, this person would definitely attack me and my family.” I was shocked. But, apparently, I was the only one. Because everyone else on the call laughed. They were all white except for my partner who is Mexican. But, he still chuckled.
