00:41Full Transcript
[00:00] Talk about money जब मेरे पास पैसे नहीं थे, I noticed this one thing कि no one around me talked about money जब college में placements थे, they just told us कि ये company है, ये salary है, ये role है and that is it
[00:12] They didn't even tell us कि negotiate करने का एक option है, दूसरा role choose करने का एक option है, nothing And just because हमारे हाथ से वो job ना चली जाए, we took the job without negotiating the pay जब मेरी और मेरे सारे friends की job लग गई, उसके बाद भी there was no talk about money.
[00:28] No one talked about दूसरे roles क्या पे कर रहे हैं. There was nothing. उसके बाद when I was in a job that I actually loved, उधर भी no one talked about money, no one talked about increasing your salary or taking up more responsibilities,
[00:41] doing more in that same company so that you climb the ladder. And even my closest friends at that company told me कि ऐसे salary की, ऐसे पैसो की, खुले हम बात मत कर.
