These are some practical things you can do to help you resolve most of the issues you shared.

Dear Mr Pradeep, how does one deal with workplace burnout? A young CA working for EY recently succumbed due to work pressure and no one from the office attended her funeral. Is this normal? What are your thoughts? What should one do in a situation like this? What is your advice to young professionals
Ans: Dear ,

You have raised a valid point which most of the young professionals are passing through.
What a paradox in Indian context ?
At one hand,. public sector companies do have quite liberal working conditions and virtually no direct accountability to push your stress level to that high of opting for ending life., whereas in most private or proprietorship companies , right from reaching office in time to achieving the set objectives days after days , months after months which keep on increasing.

There is limit of tolerance of abusive behaviur or working styles , hence many find ways to move to other comanpies, some quit the job , some move out to other industries .

There are many companies or companies from different sectors , why only talk about EY , I can give true exampples of BFSI /NBFCs/Telecom/ Industrial products companies / Real Estate cos/ FMCG/FMCD/Pharma cos where many professionals avoid to opt for even when they are offered high packages.
Reason, - High work pressure , abusive work conditions , Job Uncertainity , worst approach of top management where you are treated like slavesif you fail to achieve your assigned tasks or objectives which is also called target..
However taking own life as this CA at EY did was really heartwrenching . Moreso the approach of the management .
After all a young talented girl . lost her life due to work pressure as mentiioned in her notes. To be honest , no one attending funeral from management side is not normal .

In most cases some one from management side representsor send their condolences .

There are good companies who even clear the dues and add ex gratia amount from their side so that family doesn't suffer financially . I have seen some companies offering job to another member of the family too. .

May be, in this case , due to legal complications, Sr managers avoided attending the funeral .

As far as my advice to young professionals is concerned - Be bold , take challenges as part of your life and when you feel . it is crossing your limits , You must expose the truth to top management as many a times , putting so much pressure on young professionals are the handiworks of Line managers or HR managers , which top management might not be aware about .

She being a CA should not have any issues in finding another good paying job or even joining any CA firm as Sr manager taxation or in auditing could have not difficult. She should have fought back.

You must have seen many Army /Police /CISF or Bank professionals commit suicide under work pressure which is really painful . One should fight back or find better options available than ending own life. Remember Tough times never last but tough people do. Thanks

Can My Son Get NIT Or CSE With 88.87percentile in JEE Mains (GM)? Obc Ncl category
Ans: Pramod Sir, Here is, How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main Results – A Step-by-Step Guide

Once the January JEE Main session results was declared, many students and JEE applicants started asking common questions about eligibility for specific institutes (NITs, IIITs, GFTIs, etc.) based on their percentile, category, preferred branch, and home state.

Providing precise admission chances for each student can be challenging. Some reputed educational websites offer ‘College Predictor’ tools where you can check possible college options based on your percentile, category, and preferences. However, for a more accurate understanding, here’s a simple yet effective 9-step method using JoSAA’s past-year opening and closing ranks. This approach gives you a fair estimate (though not 100% exact) of your admission chances based on the previous year’s data.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Admission Chances Using JoSAA Data
Step 1: Collect Your Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Your JEE Main percentile (Convert percentile into Rank withe help of a formula available in Google).
Your category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
Preferred locations (or if you're open to any location in India)
List of at least 3 preferred academic programs (branches) as backups (instead of relying on just one option)
Step 2: Access JoSAA’s Official Opening & Closing Ranks
Go to Google and type: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024
Click on the first search result (official JoSAA website).
You will land directly on JoSAA’s portal, where you can enter your details to check past-year cutoffs.
Step 3: Select the Round Number
JoSAA conducts five rounds of counseling.
For a safer estimate, choose Round 4, as most admissions are settled by this round.
Step 4: Choose the Institute Type
Select NIT, IIIT, or GFTI, depending on your preference.
If you are open to all types of institutes, check them one by one instead of selecting all at once.
Step 5: Select the Institute Name (Based on Location)
It is recommended to check institutes one by one, based on your preferred locations.
Avoid selecting ‘ALL’ at once, as it may create confusion.
Step 6: Select Your Preferred Academic Program (Branch)
Enter the branches you are interested in, one at a time, in your preferred order.
Step 7: Submit and Analyze Results
After selecting the relevant details, click the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
The system will display Opening & Closing Ranks of the selected institute and branch for different categories.
Step 8: Note Down the Opening & Closing Ranks
Maintain a notebook or diary to record the Opening & Closing Ranks for each institute and branch you are interested in.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Expectations on a Safer Side
Since Opening & Closing Ranks fluctuate slightly each year, always adjust the numbers for safety.
Example Calculation:
If the Opening & Closing Ranks for NIT Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category show 8622 & 26186 (for Home State), consider adjusting them to 8300 & 23000 (on a safer side).
If the Female Category rank is 34334 & 36212, adjust it to 31000 & 33000.
Follow this approach for Other State candidates Option also and different categories.
Pro Tip: Adjust your expected rank slightly lower than the previous year's cutoffs for realistic expectations during JoSAA counseling.

Can This Method Be Used for JEE April & JEE Advanced?
Yes! You can repeat the same steps after your April JEE Main results to refine your admission possibilities.
You can also follow a similar process for JEE Advanced cutoffs when applying for IITs.
