Question by Amit on Jul 20, 2024Hindi

Career

I got selected in good MNC few days back and resigned from my current organization. I was given a counter offer which I initially rejected and my resign was approved. Later on I came to know that new job is also not that much great, therefore I requested my current employer that I want stay here and they agreed but with reduced amount in counter offer. Also I have noticed that they don't want me to continue here but as a good gesture not saying anything to me. What should I do now continue here or go with the new job.

Ans: Dear Amit,

It is very common mistake many executives commit in order to up scale their position thus salary and fall victim. Its quite natural that your present employer will not treat you as a loyal employee despite your excellent past track records. More over once you lost the face value , you will be face humiliation on many occasions with slightest of mistakes. Hence I would suggest you to do your best to win the trust and continue until you get offer of your choice . However Pl. ensure the working conditions of the next company on the parameters like employees retention and employees happiness index etc. The salary Package and perks should be secondary . Thanks

Question by Geetu - Apr 07, 2021Hindi

Career

Hi Mayank,I am facing a dilemma. I have to choose between two job options -- the existing one and the new offer which I got some 15 days back.Currently, I am in the teaching field in a coaching institute which is in my native place where I live with parents (they don't want to move to a new place and I need to see them).I have another job offer in a metropolitan city which is very far from my native place (2,000 km). Though it is in a reputed institute, it is for the same teaching position.Now, I am confused as to whether I should continue in my present job or take up the new job.I love teaching and both jobs offer almost same salary and same position. But the opportunity for growth is better in the new company.At the same time, I don’t want leave my parents and they don't want shift with me to the new place.I am totally confused, please help me to decide.ThanksGeetu

Hi Geetu.

I think these specific inputs will help you take the right decision:

1. Many professionals are moving from metros to smaller towns for better quality of life.

2. Time with parents is invaluable.

3. Changing your job in these uncertain times is not advisable unless you are getting a dream job.

Your current roles seem to give you job satisfaction, market competitive salary and, above all, quality time with your family.

I would suggest that you make the most of it and continue with your current role.

Question by Mahesh - Oct 10, 2023Hindi

Career

Hello Expert, I am 45 years male and working with one software company since last 13 years (total experience is 20 years) , recently I got the offer from other company (earlier I worked as consultant) at almost 30% hike from my present salary. I know most of the employee from the company as previously I worked with them. The reason for looking the opportunity is I felt that my manager is ignoring me and giving opportunity to others. Please help me to decide n weather I continue with current company or change it? is it right time to change?

Ans: At 45, there are a lot of family responsibilities. I'd think, you need to connect with your current manager and HR team, and understand growth plans for you in the current company. Also, have a direct 1:1 with your manager to learn how does he feel about your performance. If he is trying to ignore you? And if there are any changes you could do. 30% is a decent jump and if you like the project, work culture of the company better than the current company, worth while considering the same. I'd draw a quick chart of pros/cons on staying with the current company and moving to the new company. If the new company offers job stability, it seems attractive option to consider.

Hi, I am working in Indian company, was heading the department, due to some management changes they brought a new person from outside who is now heading the department, practically he has replaced me, but company is not removing me and asking to do what I was doing earlier, they now want me to explore new avenues for company. I told management that I want to quit, but they do not want me to leave... What should I do. I am trying but not getting good offers from Industry. It is humiliation but new incumbent is practically dow not anything about our business. It's is purely technical field. In this situation what should I do

Ans: I’d definitely take this as an opportunity to explore new areas in the business and take on different responsibilities within the company, challenge myself to develop new skills and learning to grow. Also, I’d support the new person in best of my ability in his/her new role. It’s not a humiliation but God sent opportunity to develop myself.

My 12 year old son has 2 parallel lines of teeth. One front and the other behind. So far in the behind only 2 teeths are there one in each side. Will this cause any serious issues for him? He has speech problem. Could this be the reason? Does he need to take any immediate corrective procedure?

Ans: Hello
This situation of "2 parallel lines of teeth" arises when permanent teeth erupt BEFORE the deciduous teeth (or milk teeth) have been shed. This indicates a mis-alignment of the permanent teeth. The shedding of milk teeth is dependent on the permanent teeth exerting pressure on them as they grow.
This mis-alignment, indeed, could be the cause of his speech problem.
My advice to you is to consult a competent pediatric dentist or an orthodontist (a dentist who realigns crooked teeth) soon so that corrective measures can be taken.

My front teeth is broken I fell down from my bike while dog is chasing me . I went to dentist i got broken teeth cemented . dentist advised me not to chew anything with cemented teeth it's a life time instruction. It is very discomfort to me .Is there any treatment such that I can chew even with repaired tooth

Ans: Hi.,
Sorry to hear about your fall and the resultant damage to your teeth.
Honestly, it's best to follow your dentist's advice, but I understand your problem. Eating can be a challenge.
Please ask your dentist about sturdier alternatives like dental crowns or bridges. These can provide extra protection and might let you chew more comfortably.

In the meantime, stick to soft foods which do not put pressure on your compromised teeth, or soups. You can also try cutting your food into smaller pieces to reduce pressure on the tooth.

Money

Hello Sir/Mam, Currently I'm investing in SIP as per below for the last 3 years, my goal is to achieve 2 crores by the next 10 years. Please suggest me if these MFs are good or any rebalancing is required. I'm planning to increase the SIP by 10% each year. Parag Parikh Flexi Cap - 5K Aditya Birla SF BAF - 2K SBI Large & Midcap - 5K Quant Small Cap - 3K SBI Gold Fund - Growth - 5K Canara Robeco Large cap - 5K Thanks.

Ans: Hello & thanks for writing to me.

Your portfolio is well-allocated across flexicap, large & midcap, small cap, BAF and gold, offering a balanced mix of growth, stability and diversification.

Given your 10-year horizon, keeping a higher allocation towards flexicap and large & midcap funds is appropriate, as these categories help manage volatility while still capturing long-term growth. The small-cap exposure adds additional long-term growth potential, while the Balanced Advantage Fund (BAF) provides stability through its dynamic asset allocation. Your gold allocation further supports diversification and can cushion the portfolio during equity market stress.

At this stage, no major rebalancing is needed. Since you plan to increase your SIPs by 10% every year, directing this additional amount mainly towards your flexicap or large & midcap fund will further strengthen the core of your portfolio over time.

Asked by Anonymous - Dec 02, 2025Hindi

Relationship

My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps

Relationship

Hi Anu, My husband doesn't do house chores. We both work full-time, but I still end up cooking, cleaning, and doing laundry. When I ask for help, my partner will say, ‘Just tell me what to do,’ but then he conveniently forgets. Maybe he doesn't like it or he is genuinely forgetful. I have tried many ways to make him explain. Once I only did my share of laundry to make him realise but he simply ignored. Every week this pattern repeats. Is this normal? How can married couples divide responsibilities fairly to avoid fights?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Every home has a different routine and share of responsibilities. So, there's no standard norm to challenge it as normal or not!
So, if you want your husband to pitch in, then say it in clear terms, especially since he has told you to tell him what to do.
Once you have told him, do make sure to ask him: Will you find it convenient to do it now or later? If later, when?
This will ensure that he makes a statement of commitment, so there's no question of forgetting it, right? Play it smart...it's better than feeling bad about the situation or mulling over why something does not work.

All the best!
