Career · Money by Mayur
What I wish someone had told me about the first job and the first salary. Plain language, real numbers, one small step at a time.
What we cover
Two things nobody teaches you in college.
Short, honest, no-gyaan advice from someone a few steps ahead of you, not a finfluencer selling a course.
Salary in. Sense on.
What to do in the first months of earning, before lifestyle creep does it for you.
- CTC vs in-hand, payslips & tax regimes
- Your first budget & emergency fund
- Rent, bills, credit & scams
How it works
Experience, passed down.
Every piece starts from a question freshers actually ask, and ends with something you can do this week.
1
A real question
CTC 12 LPA hai, toh ₹1 lakh mahina aayega na?
2
Real numbers
Worked examples in rupees, with the sources linked so you can check them.
3
One small move
One specific thing to do this week. Not a 40-step plan.
How we teach
Explained. Relatable. Step by step.
Every topic gets a clear explanation, a moment you'll recognise, and a path you can follow.
Nobody Taught Us This
Clear answers to the things adults are expected to know but were never taught, like reading a salary slip.
