I Had a Job. But I Had No Life. Every morning, I woke up with a knot in my stomach. Not because the job was “hard.” But because I knew — deep down — I didn’t belong there. I had a fancy degree. A decent salary. A so-called “stable” life. But every day, I felt like a failure. Not in the eyes of the world, but in the mirror. I was in a job where I felt invisible. Unseen. Unheard. A nobody. Even though I was showing up, ticking tasks, smiling in meetings... Inside, I was breaking. Demeaning myself just to survive the 9 to 6. One day, I simply asked myself: “If this isn’t making me happy, what am I really working for?” That question changed everything. I walked away from the “safe” option and stepped into the wild, unpredictable world of media and content creation. No roadmap. No guarantees. Just one thing: PASSION. And a heart that refused to settle. Today, I’m building something I love. Something that lights me up. And guess what? Life did reward me. And I finally feel alive. Because when you leave what drains you, You make space for what drives you. That’s why I resonate so much with Naukri.com’s mission — reminding people that a job should never cost you your joy. Passion matters. Alignment matters. YOU matter. If you’re stuck in a place that doesn’t see your worth, maybe it’s time to move. Because the real magic begins when you choose yourself.

March ending just passed by, which means salary hikes are in—But Are You Really Getting a Raise??🤷♀️😅 Now, here’s a stat to chew on: In India, salary appraisals are projected to increase by an average of 9.4% across industries this year. Sounds decent, right? Well, not when you factor in inflation. The real purchasing power of that raise? Shrinking faster than a weekend. Let’s be real—most employees end up getting peanuts in the name of a hike. And trust me, I’ve been there.That hopeful anticipation, the inner monologue hyping up a Bollywood-style climax, only to get hit with an anticlimactic single-digit raise that feels like corporate betrayal. At this point, expecting more than a 10% hike almost feels illegal.But what really got me thinking about all this? Naukri.com's latest campaign. They’ve placed a 10-foot-long peanut right in the middle of DLF Cyberhub, Gurugram—a giant, hard-to-miss metaphor that screams: This appraisal season, snack on peanuts. Don’t settle for them” And honestly, it’s brilliant marketing, isn’t it? Right when employees are thinking about their worth, Naukri.com serves up a reminder: You don’t have to accept crumbs when you can get the whole cake. So, if you’re someone who is ambitious and refuses to settle for less, maybe it’s time to explore opportunities that truly match your potential. Check out Naukri.com— because you deserve better than peanuts🚀
