Would you travel somewhere with bad internet? I’ve always wanted to visit remote places, but as someone who relies on Google Maps and constant connection, the idea of no Wi-Fi freaks me out. Would you travel somewhere knowing the internet is unreliable, or is that a dealbreaker?

I would. When we travelled to Marrakech ten years ago we downloaded an app called Marrakech Riads that somehow provided gps. ?? Yes, I realize that’s not remote but my point is there may be workarounds. Of course you’d probably always have decent internet in a high end hotel. Before cruises got Starlink the internet was bad (it’s still not that great) but we loved cruising. And we are big Internet users. You will have adequate internet most anywhere; just don’t plan on working. Get an international data plan from your provider, for about $10/day. Carry a paper map where necessary!

It’s a dealbreaker for certain types of trips. If I’m working remotely or navigating unfamiliar territory solo, I need reliable internet. For a full vacation with planned activities? I can live with a Wi-Fi break—as long as I know in advance.

I know employees working for over 24 months with no CTC revision. My question is are the appraisal formalities mere formalities? I'm unhappy about the pay structure. For a 65k PM CTC, I hardly get 52k in hand. With rising inflation, and no salary revisions, it's just going to be difficult. Tenured employees, please advise. 😥
