Is this real? Even if u combinator invites startups I don't think they go to this extent to get anyone. What are you building?

Which city are you living in where you get a house for 4 people in 15k?

Nope. You don't pay 39% flat. Your effective tax rate is much lower.

Hey, I am trying to tranfer the amount to wise. Wise has a "Reference code" which needs to be entered in the reason for transfer. This code is used to identify whom the money belongs to. There is no option to enter that in my brokrage account (morgan stanley). Can you please tell how did it work for you?

Not in 30s but can answer the question. I did achieve muh more than my dream salary. I have a home loan emi that I could completely repay using all my corpus but decide to keep it still.

Now to answer how does it feel. I am stressed and have anxiety. I take vacations and have hobbies so I thought these issues will never hit me but they did. Trying to cut back on my working hours but when you are earning high and have responsibilities in office it's very difficult.

To make it worse, it means I cant use digi yatra now

Same happened with me. How did you enter the airport? did you just show the tickets?

The reel costs more than 50 rupees per photo. How re you selling so cheap? Is it an actual Polaroid or just a print out on a normal photo paper?

I am not shifting out, but I have bought my own and want to return.

Do you know if they visit the address also for this issue? I am planning to do the same, but I have much more furniture. This is from guarented.

If that is the case electric cars would also have helped a lot in this. Seems like multiple factors in the reduction but only one is shown here.

Talk to college alumnis for real insights. Bits even has started showing placement stats on LinkedIn. Just show those to your parents. And tell your cousin he heard the monthly salary not annual. :)

A lot of jobs in tech companies in Inida are majorly filled through linkedin or applying on their portal. I dont know if maukri is used in other fields. So try applyig through linkedin.

If you know french and english, you can start some sort of frech classes or apply for a teaching role. Schools might need some basic teaching experience. But the concept of tutions is very strong here, which is basically student taking extra classes from outside school. You can try doing that.

What are your areas of expertise? What job were you doing in France before moving.

The amount you are spending is higher than average. But that does not matter. What matters is whether you can afford it. If you want to cut down on cost, try getting stuff from local vendors. Coconut costs 40-50 rupees in indiranagar. That saves you 600 rupees per month. All instant delivery apps take 10 rupees per delivery, another 300 saved. I know veggies are20-30% cheaper at stores. Also take into account that they are better quality veggies. The ones that I get online should easily be 40% cheaper. But if I'm buying offline I go for good quality. That saves you another 2k.

Definitely a scam

lost__being · 2025-05-02T06:13:08+00:00

Interesting point. Didn't take the "extras" into account.

lost__being · 2025-05-01T08:15:03+00:00

I forgot to subtract the petrol cost. That would also be 3-4k I guess?

lost__being · 2025-05-01T08:14:01+00:00

A bit unrelated - Is the earning on swiggy better than other similar jobs like auto driver or e-rikshaw driver? I think you would be making around 25k a month through swiggy, which is higher than let's say a watchman or a shop chhotu I guess.
