Ankur Warikoo, a social media content creator, entrepreneur, and author is known to share financial tips and bits of advice on various public platforms. Recently he took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share an incident with the world. In the post, he wrote about how he received an email from one of his followers asking for his advice on a dilemma that he is facing. The sender, as Warikoo stated, has 8 years of experience and received 2 job offers. The confusion lies in choosing which option to go for since both the opportunities share similar incentives like “Same CTC. Same brand value. Same stability, and the Same location.This situation is not unique on its own as many people stand at such a crossroads once in a while. Warikoo’s advice added value to his follower’s take on such situations. He shared that while these options might look the same, they are not the same in essence. He suggested the sender to “toss a coin,” and realize that, “clearly both are not the same.”The author then went on to give three tips. He advised people to stop lying to themselves in this situation, to answer honestly, and to face their inhibitions. “#1, stop lying to yourself. It is the biggest reason why we make terrible decisions. We are dishonest with our own selves.#2, answer honestly, which option do you prefer? Do not think of what you should do, or what is the right thing to do. Ask yourself - what do you WANT TO DO?#3, given your preferred option, what's the hesitation? What is troubling you? What are your fears? Solve for those. That is the only and the most important thing. Everything else is a distraction.” said Warikoo in his X post.
