Personal Assistant

Have you guys interviewed at MBB companies and got rejected in the fourth round? Just because you had multiple switches? I recently interviewed at BCG and everything went well until the director saw I gave a valid reason for each switch.

These job switch questions were already asked in first and second round as well and even by the HR. I think if everyone was convinced by my reasons then why the hell would I get rejected in the final round? If this was the problem then I wouldn't have worked hard for all the rounds . They should have rejected me in the first round itself if that was the only reason they wanted to reject me. Plus I asked for a CTC of 27 LPA. I have 5 yrs of experience. BCG HR said she doesn't have that budget. I laughed in my mind. How can the HR lie on the face even when they know that there are other companies ready to offer me more than even 27. They are like unfortunately we don't have the budget. After 3 days she called me again saying we will match your expectations. I don't understand why you would irritate a candidate by raising their hopes and then reject them. I think MBBs are overhyped. The leadership sucked. If BCG can't pay me 25-30 lpa then I think they have lost their game big time.

Seeking emotional support 🙂🙂

Hi everyone, I'm a 26-year-old male, the only child of my parents, and from a middle-class family. My childhood was tough due to family problems, and I lost everything at an early age. As the only child, I’ve always had a lot of responsibilities on my shoulders. When I was in 10th grade, a girl came into my life. We started liking each other, got attracted, and began our love journey. Over the past 10 years, we built our lives together. Both of us are now working—I'm doing WFH, and she works in an office. We had even convinced our parents for marriage and planned to tie the knot this February. However, everything changed suddenly. She left me, saying she was interested in someone else. I begged her not to leave, but nothing worked. Being an only child, I’ve never had anyone else to share my problems with, and for the last decade, she was my emotional anchor. I didn’t make new friends either, as I was completely invested in her. We even built a new house in my hometown because her parents insisted they wouldn’t agree to the marriage unless we had our own house. I used my parents' savings and took a home loan to build it. Later, she convinced me to take a personal loan for the interiors, promising we’d manage the debt together with our salaries. Trusting her, I went ahead. Now she’s gone, and I’m left with a huge financial burden. I’m the only breadwinner for my family, and I’m struggling to pay off the loans while also surviving on a small amount. Right now, I’m battling depression because: 1. A decade-long relationship ended in betrayal. 2. I’m in significant financial debt. 3. Being from the same hometown, everyone knows about the situation, and I’m unable to face the society. I’m seeking support and motivation from anyone who’s willing to listen or share some words of encouragement. Any friends accepted🙂

Late 20s Issues

Do all late 20s (28-29 years) men face the same issues mentioned below? 1. Parents getting old- you don't want to see your loved ones getting old 2. Single earning member 3. Staying away from parents sucks as they need us more now. 4. Paying rent 30-40% of total in-hand salary in metro cities. 5. Less friends, even if you have more friends you don't want to express what you are going through. 6. No emergency fund- Agar koi emergency ayi to dosto ko paise mangne padenge. 7. Job switch - As the market is unstable, so you're afraid to switch and get laid off. 8. You want everyone around you to be happy, as your happiness depends on their happiness. 9. Unable to express what you are going through to people around you (wife, parents, friends, relatives etc) 10. Happy Wife Happy Life - You try to do things out of the box (which is beyond your reach) because it makes her happy. 11. What about our happiness? 12. Many more.... I'm going through this now. Sometimes I feel like I should talk to a person (who is anonymous to me and I'm anonymous to him/her) and express everything that is depressing me.
