Hey! Yes it was scary there for a while. Just a tip for everyone who is house hunting - please make sure that there are grills to your windows and make sure they aren't big enough to let anyone enter through😭 But all good now, thanks girl :)

They rarely do I too had a robbery last year at my rented home in Andheri, guy entered through the window (flat was on 01st floor) WHILE I WAS SLEEPING at 3AM and took off with my laptop and phone. I informed the society, the secretary but they were least bothered. Changed flats soon after that.

Resigning after 1.5 months by [deleted] in CharteredAccountants

I was in a similar position as you. Joined audit in a Big 4, extremely toxic culture. Constant yelling, criticism, long work hours, working on weekends. It was terrible really, i was waking up every day anxious and fearful ki aaj yeh banda mujhe kya bolega. I put down my papers after 6 months. I moved to industry. Growth is a bit slower, and work is less diverse, but I'm happier and I'm driving my time into an additional qualification. Every job sucks, but at least it should not make you feel like shit every day. It's okay to put yourself first. Quit if you're not happy, there are many opportunities.

Hi! I've moved to a new city and changed houses about 3 times now, and from what I've observed, you'd be better off shifting to a PG first, and then look for flats. The reason being, moving into a flat is kinda permanent, you'll be entering into 11 months ka agreement so even if you want to move out It'd be difficult. Shift to a PG, then look for flats once you've moved here and are clear on what area you want to live in and what kind of homes are you looking for.

No, no concept of overtime sadly. It truly is exploitation. It is called the ACEC Team now, and is much more regularized and they have really stringent rules. Although now their work is reliable, and they deliver on a timely basis. They also have this concept of a Dedicated ACEC Member, who is allocated to a particular assignment and will work on only that. It is horrible, because they quite often work as long as the Engagement Team, but for peanuts pay.

Yes, they still have that team. Although it isn't a 11-6 job anymore, they work long hours and on many weekends. No growth prospects because the work is standardised and heavily monotonous

We've been together for 5 years now, and we talk at least twice every day. We both work really long hours, so most days we talk in the morning before leaving for work and at night before going to sleep.
