I have been posting content for a few months, it's mostly food based stuff, restaurants, recipes etc and 3 of my videos have gone off the charts viral for how many followers I had and that also ended up increasing my followers.
I received a ugc request through one of the viral video concepts that I tried, and they wanted a replica but with their stuff, the pr rep called me and asked me for a barter which I said yes to later realising I would have to pay for literally 90% of the things in my recipe so I contacted her again and asked her to reimburse the stuff or give me a small amount in total, she agreed to the amount and it went on, the recipe took me 6-7 hours and in 2 days of receiving the product I sent her the final video which she loved.
She reached out again but now I have way more engagement, more followers and overall more content, variety, etc but she said she'd pay me the same amount for another ugc video concept, this talk happened on the same week as me sending her the video. I didnt wanna go for it so I tried to get her to increase her amount but when she didnt I gave her a number and she didnt agree to it so I lowered it and she went for it but it wasn't alot anyway....
As fun as it is, I feel like I just don't know how to talk. Is this what managers are for??
If anyone out there can help me understand how exactly I should communicate with more pr reps in the future if anyone approaches me please comment down below.
" If you wanna say that I'm new, I should stick to less amount only, I can't!! It takes effort and stuff to curate recipes, oven, stove, my time, ingredients... " I know for a fact that I won't be agreeing to any for free unless its a really big thing such as an air fryer or an equipment, barter would make sense in those cases but not for food products. HELP.

Is this a good company or not?

Please help me find these glasses in india/del!!!

Hi guys,
For any startups looking a tech intern, I'm so in.
I would love to be a part of a startup simply because theres so much to learn and so much to get into, I can share my resume and more details if anyone's interested.

I'm a third year btech undergrad. No prior commitments, here to actually work.

Hey, I've been building a startup project of my own which I believe is super innovative and kind off different.
I'm a an engineer looking for any kind of referrals at PWC/KPMG/Deloitte/Accenture, essentially I wanna pivot my tech knowledge to roles where I can work with actual clients i.e consulting. Looking for any kind of help, I'd be eternally grateful.

I have a book on wattpad, just like every other story this is also an original but its my more consistent storyline, i have gotten just 16 views and ive been posting for months now, 16 chapters so far and it seems fun but idk im the writer, i could be biased. I need some major constructive criticism on it, does anyone have the time to do that?

Chapter 1 : start

Neil didn't mean to pick her up that night.
Honestly, Tara didn't mean to get in the car either.

But that's how it always was with them—accidental moments that felt like fate dressed up as bad timing.

The rain had turned the streets slick and yellow under the streetlights. Neil waited inside his car, fingers tapping the steering wheel like he was trying to rehearse a conversation he'd already lost a dozen times. His jaw was tight, his eyes tired, and he looked exactly like someone who'd been fighting all day—mostly with himself.

Tara finally slid into the passenger seat without looking at him. Even the car seemed to hold its breath.

She smelled like wet soil and the faint citrus perfume she always used when she wanted to pretend she was okay. Neil didn't comment. He hadn't earned the right to.

"Seatbelt," he murmured, voice low.

"Don't start," she whispered back, clicking it anyway.

There was so much space between them. Two feet of empty air. Six months of unspoken things.

He pulled the car onto the road, headlights cutting through the rain like they were slicing open the night. Tara kept her gaze fixed outside, watching droplets race each other down the glass.

"You didn't have to come," she said after a minute.

"You called," he replied.

That was enough explanation for him.
It had always been enough.

But tonight, the simplicity felt heavy.

Neil parked on the side of the empty road because the fight had lasted too long for him to keep driving.
Tara stared out the window, arms folded so tightly it looked like she was holding herself together.

Neither spoke.
Neither breathed properly.
They were both exhausted—emotionally, mentally, spiritually. The kind of tired that goes bone-deep.

Finally, Neil's voice broke the air.

"So you're really going to keep working with him?"

I will be interning in a big4 company soon, its through a referral and Im so grateful but the thing is i wanna be able to land a ppo from there. And I need genuine tips and advices from people in corporate. pls help, im too noob rn.

I wanna learn dsa in java for placements but i literally cannot find a single good quality playlist on youtube

Context : I am a very neutral person, I basically hate every single party atp, they all are trash and they've all done small good things and big bag things.
Rules :

1. No making fun of any political party or politician. (we're here to discuss on where we stand as a democracy)
2. No promoting, praising, preaching, or showing love towards any party. (it's a political party ffs, they are here to do a job, they are not god and they should never be treated as such)
3. Anything you have to say in favor of or against a party will be backed by a solid proof. (even if you cannot share links, you should share how we can access the link outside of this platform and research on our own)

[If you don't comply with the rules, you don't need to be here. I'm hoping for a group of educated people who just wanna exchange views see the good and the bad aspects of political parties in india]

I'm an ethical worker, I like to learn and devote to the craft but lately I've found myself just delegating everything to AI.
Im done with my third year and I wanna be placed in the coming year, Im ready to devote but Im so confused as to what do I even do?
should i solely do dsa and apti and stuff? Or should I focus on full stack more or ai more?
Here's where I truthfully stand :
>> Full stack dev :
- Frontend : 8/10
- Backend : 6/10
- Api and stuff : 0
>> DSA :
- Java : 2/10 (i know the basics and Im decent at logic building)
>> Apti : 8/10 (easy shit i just need practice)
>> OS/DBMS : 7/10 (i just need practice)
>> existing projects : 5/10 (they are small and cute, things like reverse proxy tool, or a data filter or something like that with one full stack project)

I need a good quality proper advice to get realistically placed (6-7lpa is also okay), so I can fix this since I now finally have some time. Please help.

My best friend or maybe old best friend idk has always done better than me.
We became besties pretty instantly in grade 5-6 and it was a vibe, we had fun it was perfect, she was the one person who never ever treated me as a second because there were others back then who used to.

Story 1 : We sticked around, we were absolutely inseparable, then musically came around and we both would make videos but she got popular, like she would go live, talk to people it was insane, i didnt. anyway that was not the issue, we were in our house, me her and our third bestie and she decided to go live from my home, it was fine but i just was expecting for us to play and have fun (we were in 7th or 8th) but nah she was talking to people online and the third bestie and i were sitting, so i got bored (because just like me the third bestie was also close to my bestfriend) i went to my moms room, laid on her bed and she aske why you here arent your friends over? i told her shes live and idk what to do, my mom (and i think this wasnt needed but also i get where my mother came from) went outside and told her to have fun and be in the moment and chill with us, she laughed it off my mom went back and my bestfriend left my home, she got upset she told our third bestie why it was unecessary for me to complain but i didnt complain but im sure she mustve thought that i did.

Story 2 : She's always been good at fashion, makeup and confident, shes done alot of great work in school. she was the head of this committee which she only created and they would make costumes and she'd do makeup for everyone and it was insane i mean at a certain point she had about 4 guys literally begging her for a date, one even went onto giving her a flower every single day from that session's start to her birthday, she was the it girl and on the other hand my school life was bleh, i was hated by everyone i didnt have a best friend in school, ate lunch alone and was bad at schoolwork and tests too.

Story 3 : Around her college days initially, her first year i was still in school since im younger but i wasnt busy or anything, we would meet alot before and id ask her time to time lets meet up lets meet up and whatever and mostly she would be either busy, college assignment some kind of a meeting or some other work and it would go on to weeks of not meeting and we are not online friends since we also always been offline friends. and after these reasons id see her with her college friends, bf and sometimes both in some cafe or some movie or some other place going on planned girl dates picnics bunking college for hangouts through instagram and snapchat, and it was really lame. i was very bothered to a certain point and then just gave up, i stopped texting her didnt reach out and took the hint. We didnt meet alot for another year and then met once when our old third bestfriend suggested but not after it either until i got into college and then also we met once in my first sem, i was a day scholar i didnt have time to even each food at home in peace, weekends were spent doing work or sleeping. then we met another time when our old third bestifriend suggested and then we met a few more times again and it was good, i stopped expecting, i didnt hate her anymore and i was definitely not hurt at that point, but its an underlying grudge.

Story 4 : shes now doing full time content creation, she has this lavish job and im stuck here struggling because i know i dont enjoy my work and i am not rich enough to make decisions like lets do something else which is a freedom she has had, to go out and go on trips and i never got that, its been like 2 months since we met and we met because she wanted some things and her and i were planning on meeting so yea, but we havent met ever since and no contact either.

I think i should also initiate contact and try to be like lets meet but i just feel very much like a sidelined option, she has better things to do and more important things and people (im not victimising here, i too have more important people my bf, my family) its just i feel like i should completely let go you know, and just think of her as a friend i once had nothing more, because right now i see myself looking back and being like wow we had some great times, and like how is it that she is able to maintain her friendships with everyone but not me (is the culprit me?)

Got my round 1 tomorrow and im contemplating whether to even go or not. I know i wont be able to ace the interviews later on even if i get ahead tomorrow so i wanna be at home and do a few tasks from other companies where ive applied.
If theres anyone who can help me out, im a seriously confused person rn. Please help.

Cons of going :

1. full day will be wasted (5hrs of travel+2-3hrs of waiting->3hrs test)
2. i dont know dsa, im decent at html, css, js and also low-medium at os dbms
3. i know for a fact i will flunk the interviews later on (round 4 since its primarily a live technical interview)

Pros of going :

1. i might be lucky, to get ahead tomorrow
2. experience of an actual on campus drive.
