I am a Solar Engineer(28 years and unmarried) working in an MNC company for past 6.5 Years with very nominal salary of around 40k per month which perfectly fits to me only. Due to slow down of Solar business and increasing competition, I am not expecting our company growth which directly impacts our pay. I am also looking opportunities parallely in different domains like IT industry(have knowledge) etc., and one of my favourite is Travel and Tourism. Please recommend my next move. Thank you in advance.
Ans: Hi,
You are working in an MNC Company for the last 6.5 years and it seems that you are settled there. Solar energy would be in demand in a next few years due to the green initiative adopted by most of the world power. I would suggest you to stick to the current company.

I am currently working fora leading FMCG company. I have a total experiemce of 20 years + in sales & marketing, Operations . I have been a multitasking individual. My salary is a 1.13 lac per month which is very hard to continue. I was in the insurance , banking but now have been in the FMCG industry for the past 12 years now. I am in a senior level as well. Kindly suggest me what next to do..I want a change and also need a 2nd income to sustain as well.
Ans: Hi Trilok! Your current CTC per month is not matching your work experience. To evaluate whether you are being paid fairly, I use a formula of the years of work experience with a 1.5-2x multiplier - so you should be at 30-40L. The sector that you are working in is experiencing ups and downs thus you should focus on how you can contribute by looking at up-skilling yourself. Sales, Marketing & Operations are integral functions for each and every sector & there is scope for a lot. These are a few steps I will recommend:

- Work on specific projects within your organisation in the domain where you want to build expertise in
- Utilise your time to pursue an online executive/ general management program (more focused on training than theories) to acquire leadership and managerial skills. It will strengthen your business acumen and shall boost your skill proficiencies for taking up added responsibilities within your organisation
- Use metrics to define your efforts within your org so that also allow them to compensate you fairly. Also with the right upskilling you should aim to get the right increment for yourself.

I am a 45 years old Indian living in the US for the past 10 years with the family. Despite having a steady job and a pay which typically is considered high, I end up spending more than my income. My wife also works full time with good pay as well but she thinks it's my responsibility to provide and she just saves all her money in her own accounts. We have multiple properties on both our names including cars but only I pay. I pay for groceries, bills, travel everything. On discussing about the expenses, which I have done multiple times so far, she says I should be ashamed to expect money from a woman. If this continues, I will reach retirement age kind of broke I feel. Also, I will spend sleepless nights thinking about finances until then. Please advice.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Like in any partnership, marriage is one such partnership where everything is usually shared. But I do know of couples, where they mutually agree that one partner takes care of the bills and the other education etc.
In your case, your wife has been saving up and you have been bleeding dry of your finances.
But why exactly are you spending more than your income? Financial mismanagement? Maybe that's why your wife is worried that it might happen to her portion of the income too?
Having said that, I guess your wife also needs to move past the belief that the Man is solely responsible for bringing money home. By that logic, she should never have worked, right?

Since she is working as well, she can contribute towards the family to the extent it can help but it is also imperative that as a woman she keeps some finances saved as a back-up for herself. It provides a good safety blanket for a woman since she possibly feels that you are spending more than what you earn.
It's up to you to bring about the subject without her feeling that you are out to spend all her money. So, you really need to start with managing your finances better...I am sure things will get better from thereon...

All the best!

Hi Anu, I hope you're doing well. I'm a 24 year old girl working as a software engineer. I was in love with a boy in long distance relationship and I met him only once. We both had great understanding, respect on each other. It was all good between us. On February 2023, he called me one day saying that he wants to tell his parents about our love matter. I said okay and asked him what he wanted to do if his family disagrees. He said that he'll wait until his family approves. I was okay with it and he informed to his family. But things started changing after he talked with his family. He wanted to break up with me. I told him many times that I wanted to be with him and don't want to break up. But, he didn't agree. Eventually, we stopped talking with each other. It was hard for me to move on but after few months, i finally decided to move on with my life. Then suddenly he messaged me saying that he wants to get back with me. I didn't agreed as I lost my trust on him. He even informed his family about getting back with me and they were okay with it. He wants to marry me. But, now the problem is I still like him, but I lost trust in him. I wanted to give him a chance but I'm afraid because of past break up with him. I'm confused about what should I do? Anu, can you please suggest me about giving him a chance or moving on with my life?
Ans: Dear Mahi,
Thank you for asking. I am doing well and trust that you too will be in the same space as well.
When what he has done has broken your trust, it is difficult to get it back... he has come back, but you are perhaps thinking: what if he pulls the same stunt again? And this makes you question every move of his...

If you look at it from his point of view, he possibly also loves you but his family pressures are getting to him and he can do only that much. Yes, it would have been more 'human' to talk to you about what had happened after he spoke with his family. But he chose not to and that lack of transparency is what has thrown you off...perhaps, he isn't all that mature emotionally or feels that he might lose you if he shares anything.

Whatever it is, your loss of trust on him is justified after the way he had behaved. If the two of you still want to give your relationship a chance, kindly do so...and clearly state to him that you have lost trust on him. Not only does he have explaining to do but he must reassure you that he will be honest with you in future. Also, give some time before committing to a marriage while you watch whether he has changed and he is consistent with what he has committed to changing. Only when you are sure, take a decision either way!

All the best!
