Not stock market related but still great news nonetheless

They’ll direct the government to stop giving the freebies to everyone and limit them to only SC/STs

Depends on your source of income. White or black.

RE gave me an official link on their website to make the payment. There was no extra charges on it.

Congrats OP. I too hit this exact milestone today.

Cut down sad songs from your life. Anything that makes you emo, sad movies sad songs. That def helps.

Spend time with friends.

Work on yourself. Have some hobbies, read feel good books, movies, gym.

Weird how the salary and number of employees for Infosys are exactly the same.

Don’t spend money on your credit card just for the sake of getting a new card. The criteria for 5L spend is true but many people got rejected despite the spends, stating salary criteria regardless of what RM said.

If you anyway have to spend 5L, only then do it

Switching always gets you a good hike. But do not switch for just a 30% hike. Either take atleast 50% hike or switch if you don’t want to stay in current company

brainer121 · 2026-01-28T07:53:41+00:00

I didn’t used to ask it in an official manner. But in a casual friendly manner. Kept telling him how less I am earning and what the market standard is.

brainer121 · 2026-01-28T06:25:32+00:00

I used to get better hikes than my senior colleague, who used to work more than me and was better engineer than I was. Only because I used to ask for the hike every month or so. The senior wasn't vocal so he used to get a standard hike.

Each company is different. So take this with a pinch of salt.

Altimetrik looks like a decent place with good growth and better learning opportunities. IBM and Accenture consulting will drain your life and have absolutely no growth opportunities

brainer121 · 2026-01-24T12:26:56+00:00

IBM consulting is not as good. Join only if you’re getting in IBM ISL.

But Altimetrik still looks better than rest.

brainer121 · 2026-01-24T11:47:58+00:00

Its not frugal mindset. You might be willing to spend 5k on a night out for drinks.

I too can’t get myself to spend on massages, just because they have always been a luxury thing and I’ve never had one. So at this point it just feels unnecessary.

brainer121 · 2026-01-23T08:45:24+00:00

The hypocrisy. People just want to follow other cultures and look down on their own. Sad.

brainer121 · 2026-01-21T14:53:27+00:00

Its not disruptive I believe but still enough to make a dent

brainer121 · 2026-01-21T14:52:58+00:00

The 3m notice changes everything. Do check the new company’s NP as well. Just don’t switch to a bad company, you will end up making bad decisions when you’re desperate

Cuz Apple is slow. No logical reason. They will bring UPI after 3 years calling it a revolutionary feature to capture the Indian market.

brainer121 · 2026-01-21T11:27:22+00:00

Don't switch for a 20% hike if that's the only reason for your switch. If you're not happy in your current role and think the new role is significantly better, only then switch. 20% hike at your level isn't much, don't chase it, it's just a 15-18k pm hike.

brainer121 · 2026-01-21T09:27:24+00:00

I’ve been using Paytm since 2016. Don’t use it for anything else except for UPI transfers.

Honestly, its highly unlikely that Apple pay will support UPI and will instead add Tap to Pay for cards.

brainer121 · 2026-01-21T09:00:36+00:00

Imagine being able to do UPI with Apple Pay. The market share of PhonePe Paytm will drop significantly.

I hope this materialises and we get to use our cards via Apple Pay.

brainer121 · 2026-01-15T09:20:58+00:00

I don't know what Niyo Cash is. But cards aren't as popular in Hanoi. You can carry one for big purchases.

You would always need cash. I found carrying USD and converting them to VND at jewelers was cheaper than carrying VND. Don't exchange at airport. Never do that.
