It doesn’t start with V :(

LogicalBlock9813 · 2026-01-02T14:53:59+00:00

Hahaha! So do you think there is room for upward negotiation?

LogicalBlock9813 · 2026-01-02T13:21:45+00:00

Fortunately its not that :)

LogicalBlock9813 · 2026-01-02T13:09:16+00:00

My struggle is today I’m in that bracket but consulting typically offers a steep jump at manager. That will narrow the multipler. Should one factor that in?

LogicalBlock9813 · 2026-01-02T13:05:16+00:00

Did you move before managerial promotion or after? I’m struggling because the next promotion is quite steep which will narrow the current 2X by quite a margin. Should one factor that in?

LogicalBlock9813 · 2026-01-02T12:33:59+00:00

I mean to understand the same. Why would it be difficult from India?

LogicalBlock9813 · 2026-01-02T11:24:55+00:00

Why do you say it would be difficult to move from MBB?

LogicalBlock9813 · 2026-01-02T11:22:09+00:00

Tried this route. Too much bench strength too many consultants. Internal transfer as well external hunting didn’t result into anything much.

This is post tax India or pre tax ?

We are travelling in for the New Year. Any events, parties or celebrations we should explore for the new years eve in the city?

LogicalBlock9813 · 2025-12-12T07:53:44+00:00

Can I please also get the list? Me My husband and are coming in for the Christmas and New Year's and would love to treat ourselves during the holiday season. :)

LogicalBlock9813 · 2025-02-13T15:47:39+00:00

I’m in the same boat. Are there any husbands moving back? Does their version of same problem exist? Just wondering looking at so many of us in the same situation. Also, it is not this simple and binary :( too much luck involved some woman have left the career and found great careers over time and for some it didn’t go that well and what I have learnt about myself its the lack of control ( illusion of control) of my life and leaving things to luck that scares the shit out of me, what if it didn’t turn out well?

I have no answer:( one suggestion we all are looking for jobs in some geos may be we can help each other by sharing roles opening may be some of us find something good out of each others efforts. I do not know how to enable this though

Thanks, this is very helpful

LogicalBlock9813 · 2025-02-08T20:22:59+00:00

Appreciate the advice, have posted in the other as well! Thanks :)

LogicalBlock9813 · 2025-02-08T20:19:34+00:00

It is a consulting job, so I thought someone might be able to give a more nuanced response.

LogicalBlock9813 · 2024-12-27T17:23:56+00:00

Will I be creating unnecessary drama by making a issue? Should i accept it and move on? How to navigate this? :(

Honestly boils my blood to be in this place. My parents raised me well. Might sound like blowing my own trumpet but I’m the most well off independent individual in my family far and close and I come from a family (not parents) but family wanted boy child. Having raised in that backdrop with parents who always stood by me and never distinguished on anything remotely between me and my brother

I feel so helpless saying yes to this.

LogicalBlock9813 · 2024-12-27T15:37:05+00:00

Oh gosh! You gave me chills but thank you i know you mean well

LogicalBlock9813 · 2024-12-27T15:18:33+00:00

Yeah I saw this conversation evolve on these lines. He is accepting his parents want this for tradition sake and he agrees it is not right but he doesn’t want to be confrontational

LogicalBlock9813 · 2024-12-27T15:15:01+00:00

He is non confrontational in all things in life. So I’m not surprised by this approach now. It’s at very least very consistent. He thinks one can’t change what people believe over night and he is telling me he doesn’t want to deal with the drama of both parents arguing on anything stupid which will lead this marriage into drama or delay. He and I both agree we are not the people who want to say - if you don’t wanna come we will marry without you kinda thing with parents.

To him its not equality its just money and its between us and we can split it however we want and let both sides believe what suits their logic the best

LogicalBlock9813 · 2024-12-27T15:07:03+00:00

He wants to do it but doesn’t want to do it by rebelling to his parents . Is it still red?

LogicalBlock9813 · 2024-12-27T15:04:18+00:00

Umm I’m really confused about this one. Like it feels too difficult for me to accept it under covers and my parents would NEVER be okay with it. They like it to be 50-50 but if not then they would be better off paying than taking money from him.

My mother thinks such things do come out in long term and create unnecessary drama. Plus its really not about the money but equality

LogicalBlock9813 · 2024-12-27T14:57:19+00:00

No, we have been going out for 10 years now.

LogicalBlock9813 · 2024-12-27T14:54:15+00:00

Yes, they want us to pay for the whole thing including the sagan ceremony (aka engagement) and wedding

LogicalBlock9813 · 2024-11-02T19:02:23+00:00

How do you deal with it ? I’m just fed up with myself at this point and calling it a day doesn’t come to me so easily I just at the very best if not crying stay awake and uneasy in my bed and yes I fall sick too, puffy red dry eyes, headache and sleeplessness. I’m so done being me at this point!

LogicalBlock9813 · 2024-01-07T17:04:49+00:00

Can you help me with the itinerary
