What's happening in your work-life? Have you came together with others and discussed what's really going on at the job place ? Or are you out of the loop and like it that way. I want to get ahead but I am just not a buttkisser.

Feeling Stagnated today.

Nope, I prefer to stay out of the loop as much as possible. I don't need to know everything that's going on, just what's relevant to me.

Minding your business? Very smart. Someone who don't need others's recognition will deal with less stress for sure. I appreciate you sharing.

Work’s been a mix. I stay informed and talk with people when it actually matters, but I’m not big on the politics side of it. I’d rather focus on doing solid work than trying to curry favor. I want to move ahead too, just in a way that feels real and earned, not by kissing up

Yes. I feel the exact same. I appreciate you sharing this. I hope you have a great week ahead.

I’m very much the person everyone comes to, to talk. So I know pretty much everything that’s happening and if things start moving off course or the negative sentiment starts building I nudge the right people in the right direction to resolve the issues early before things explode.

You really live up to your title, that sounds great and I could use a manager like this some days. Someone that knows exactly how to do things, and get them done-
Very valuable.
I like your enthusiasm and aura. Clearheadedness is a wonderful trait to display at the workplace. Great work! Sending positive vibes for the upcoming workweek. Really appreciate you sharing.

Definitely feel at my job there is a ton of issues with the team due to the different personalities. I try to make the best with it and figure I need to take more time from myself to relax

Does it kinda feel like a highschool gym class rather than a place of employment? Are the personalities all fighting for recognition that they will never achieve? Sounds like some boundaries may help your crew some. I appreciate you sharing.

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:
IBM - 15.5 LPA

PWC India - 16 LPA
Oracle Financial Services Software(OFSS) - 21 LPA

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.
