Question for the group: once you hit FIRE, what do you plan to tell people when asked what you do for a living? I feel like so much identity is wrapped up in career, job, what you do etc. that it could get awkward trying to explain FIRE to people. Genuinely curious how people approach this.

Hi all,

I am data engineer with 3.8 YOE. I have offers from Accenture (11.5), tcs (11 LPA), wipro (14 LPA) and Publicis sapient (15 LPA).

Now I'm not so good at coding.

But confused bw
-->joining sapient for the sheer fact they would give me a big data project for sure but I fear that they may fire me for my sub par coding skills.

--> joining wipro for the job security, but fear thay if I don't find any big data projects, they may put me in testing/support.

How do you deal with people who treat the creative department as their personal studio? I've recently joined a new business where other departments ask for quick turnaround stuff with no briefs or regard to the team's workloads or the strategy even.

I've done all the pushing back, advocating for the team, and educating those people about processes and how to get the best out of the team.

Has anyone successfully navigated this kind of situation before? How did you do it?

Hi Folks,

To those who are thinking of resigning without an offer, I seriously advise you not to do so. I resigned in July due to a hectic (you can call it toxic) work culture and was confident enough to get another offer. But nothing materialized, no calls, savings money almost depleted with the EMIs, hard lesson learned!

Please try to resign only if you have an offer in hand or you're financially sound enough to survive without a job for at least a year! Cheers!
