+1 interested to know others stories, good question OP.

Honestly, for me the biggest risk i took was not taking a risk 😢. I joined Deloitte straight outta college with no clue . And its been 7 years here and I feel I got complacent in my job. Deloitte is great and I was over the moon when i got placed in college.
But in hindsight, I wish i had faced some failures and struggled a little post college, taken some risks and found out who I am and what I wanted to do!

On notice period now, I finally put papers without the next job lined up. Have decent savings to last me 12 months. ( so its calculated in a way)
This is my first ever big risk! And hopefully I will have an interesting story share in future :,)

Kudos to you for finally getting out of your comfort zone. Wishing you the best!
Looking forward to hear your success story.

One day I read about a supreme court judgement for a marriage related case, almost 10 years back. It said, it is important for India to be unified thru marriages done in inter case to remove the ongoing casteism related issues. It moved me

I propose a girl of different caste who spoke a different language. I was happy. Even though our families were against it initially we pressed and finally got married after waiting to be each other for 6 long years. Now we have 1 year old baby boy

Worst decision of my life. I am happy to be parent, but my life sucks. It is very difficult to be with someone who was raised in different values and beliefs and specially speaking different language. Some may say language is no barrier..it's ture. But once it gets merged with all other factors, it becomes a really crap of an issue. Now I regret my decision everyday.

Sorry, not an inspiring story for anyone

Sorry it didn’t turn out how you expected it to.

Its very easy to give advice but I believe you are mature and only you can understand your situation completely.

So i hope you are able to find answers for these issues and keep travelling ahead in life :,)

Proposed to an office colleague and this was the first time ever . Even though I knew that she had already rejected 4 people i took the risk 😅

Thanks man 😅

My partner and I are moving out of our condo building in NYC at month end, and the building management (not our landlord) has communicated to us that, on top of the 1K non-refundable fee and 1K security deposit to move out (stated in lease), they are also issuing a $1,250 "sanitization fee" for the public areas (hallways/elevators), since we happen to be moving out during COVID19. We feel this is taking advantage of tenants during this time and may not be legal. Any advice helps!

Why do companies are firing and hiring at the same time ?
I have seen few IT product companies like Amazon firing people and I have also seen openings at their job portals.

So instead of firing so many talented people why they don't just move them to whatever open positions they have ?
I know they can't move everyone but they can do so for atleast some of the people they have decided to fire even after being good performers ...

Is it lack of efforts from their recruitment team side?
