1. Learning to own who you are. This took me a great amount of time within my career. Once you’re comfortable with who you are, I promise your work will excel.

2. Getting “popular”. I had a prior company actually tell me that “certain people aren’t really comfortable with the fact that you’ve become the face of the company”. That was a tough one.

Hi team ,
I resigned and my last working day was last day of month .
The company KPMG was suppose to deduct my joining bonus and other things in final settlement. Last working day was last day of month , which means i got full salary.
What they will do in final settlement? Will they ask me to pay separately? I have resigned and joined another organisation. Any one knows what will happen ?
