D1, can you share any stories of how this has played out for you in the past?

Yeah, I kind of noticed when you get people's attention, you end up doing a ton more work - RFPs, random initiatives, and many other "value adds." All that starts cutting into your time on projects and stuff. On the plus side, you get powerful friends in the firm, but you also end up working even more than you already have to (nights, weekends)

Thanks, D1. Helpful perspective. Part of the reason I ask is to get crowd opinions since you often get the contradictory advice to self-advocate but also stay under the radar/ humble. Also, I’m a woman.

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

Based on the Gross salary offered I have calculated the in hand salary per month would be around 152000 considering 150000 in 80C, 50000 in NPS and 200000 deductions due to home loan interest. Total tax liability is around 400000. Any other options do I have to save tax further (other than HRA, LTA)? Thanks in advance.

What should I do in a scenario where I was hired (12+ years) with far less salary than(~20% less) than other members (4+ experience) in team and asked to take 80% of team's responsibilities. The hiring manager low balled me sensing that I am in dire need of that job and now I am stuck for 2 years now. The company is a big shot but I am literally getting paid less than what I used to make 10 years ago. Should I try to move within or look outside?
