I’m an investment advisor too…based on my experience, quality investment advisory is still in very early stages in India (unlike developed countries). People are not showing much interest to pay investment advisory fees to get a quality advise (definitely it will pay back with greater ROI)..if anyone needs investment advisory or retirement advisory, pm me..

It's not beginning,
I am doing this since 2011, I have closed demat accounts many time, and reopened it with many brokerage houses.
I have investments into Mutual funds, and some direct Equities too.
But in the past my heart beats used to go with the flow of market ticks during the trading hours of NSE and MCX.
Now I know only one thing,
All sort of fundamental/technical research doesn't work , Trading is actually a behavioral skill, and you will have to fight only with your imotion.

didn't paid my education loan during initial days of my career

My small company was bought out by a corporation. During the acquisition process, the new HR team wants to demote my title from “manager” to “specialist” due to their company requirements. I declined the offer and they changed the offer to grandfather my title in but are still evaluating my salary based on a specialist role. My supervisor (a VP) and our President disagree with this choice but are making no headway with the new HR team. What can we do?

Getting job using fake experience and fake certificates is easier than getting job as a fresher or switching jobs with experience by serving notice period !

If companies do proper background verification or able to decrease notice period to 30days genienue candidates will get benefited.
