Get your experience and gtfo. There are tons of opportunities out there - no money can make up for living unhappy life. When you do what you love - money simply come to you, you are in better mood and better things attract to you. Or at least find something that you don't hate or that doesn't make you miserable - you will find the money too. PA isn't even paying that much tbh. Take chances - yolo.

Deloitte1, growing up poor in general gives you a dif perspective in life, but growing up poor in a diff country and then coming to the land of opportunity adds a whole other level of appreciation for what we have here.

My parents sent me to a school of privileged kids so I grew up totally different from my peers in terms of social and economical status. I've been facing with depression my entire life because I never fit in with those kids, but thanks to that I got a chance to study abroad and landed a job at Deloitte. Sometimes depression actually keeps me moving forward.

Hi Folks,

I've got a job offer from a small IT company. But before releasing the offer letter, they want me to accept a terms and conditions form which has this 10th point as shown in picture. It states failing to join them will result in paying 2 months of salary that's around 130000 rs.

Is it for real? If I get a better offer somewhere else ane don't join them, will I really have to pay this to them? Please help friends. What should I do?

No other offer in hand.
