Balancing personal life, tamily, and career opportunities hasn't always been straightforward. How much weight do you give location when deciding on a job?

A ton, this market wants you to move for the job, can’t work from home most of the time. So you flip your life around and move then the bozos lay you off a few years later because the shareholders weren’t happy this quarter. Every big company right now is having record profits, shareholders expect it to keep going up some how and when it doesn’t (impossible at some point) they do layoffs. Rinse and repeat, so no it’s not worth moving or uprooting your life for.

I've been working remote for almost 9 years so that's a hard requirement. I live in a smaller town with no tech companies and the nearest metropolitan area is close to 3 hours away. I'll do Doordash before I uproot my life to go back to the daily grind.

My family would revolt if I tried to move them for work, so it is a major consideration. Thankfully, we live in a major metropolitan area in a fully paid off house, so there are plenty of options here should I need them.

I joined Tiger Analytics with CTC of 9lpa. When I check in greythr IT statement, it shows 7.14lpa.

In the CTC payslip, it shows 75k per month as my salary. But this month I got 61k.

I understand they deduct tax, but I feel it is too much. IDK where I'm losing the money. Can someone tell if this is normal. I'm a fresher so, IDK much about it.

Also, what can I do to pay less taxes? Any help on that?

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
