Career decisions

A job offer against the life you have here.

One decision, not pros and cons, with the Gita behind it.

Or start from an example:

A reading, start to finish

Sample

“I am 31, a senior analyst at a bank on ₹24 lakh a year. A small company I admire has offered me a product role at ₹16 lakh, with stock that could be worth a lot or nothing. I have wanted to build products for six years. My wife and I planned to buy a flat next year on my salary. In March I am up for promotion to ₹30 lakh, in work I find dull. The offer expires Friday. Do I take the pay cut?”

Sarathi, the voice that reads your dilemma, asked one thing first: Does your wife support taking the role, or does she want you to wait for the promotion? You: My wife says the flat can wait a year, but not three, and that the call is mine.

The call

With your wife saying the flat can wait a year, the role you have wanted for six years looks worth taking before the offer expires Friday.

First step

You: Before Friday, ask the company in writing for the stock terms and any review point on salary.

The exact first sentence to say“Before I accept, could you share the stock terms and when salary would next be reviewed?”

Three options

Take the product role Sarathi leans here
Stay for the March promotion
Negotiate the offer before Friday

Then, step by step, to the close

The same reading, followed to its end: each step marked done with how it went, and the next one written from that, until nothing was left to decide.

How each step went is ours, written for this sample like the dilemma. Every step and the close are Sarathi’s.

Step 1 done
You: Before Friday, ask the company in writing for the stock terms and any review point on salary.

The exact first sentence to say“Before I accept, could you share the stock terms and when salary would next be reviewed?”
Went as planned You wrote:I asked them for the stock terms in writing, and they sent them. My wife read them with me, and she still says the flat can wait a year.

Pro

Every step after the first is part of Pro: each one written from how the last one went, until the dilemma is closed.

Step 2 done
You: Write to the company accepting the product role in writing, now that you and your wife have read the stock terms together.

The exact first sentence to say“Thank you for sending the stock terms; I have read them with my wife and I would like to accept the product role.”
Went as planned You wrote:I accepted the offer before Friday. They agreed to review my salary after six months.

Closed

Nothing is left to decide. This one is closed.

What you decided

Take the product role you have wanted for six years, with the flat waiting a year as your wife agreed.

What you did

You asked the company for the stock terms in writing and read them with your wife, who still said the flat can wait a year. Then you accepted the offer in writing, and they agreed to a salary review.

Where it stands, in your words

I accepted the offer before Friday. They agreed to review my salary after six months.

Why it is closed

The question was whether to take the pay cut, and you have now accepted the offer before Friday, so the decision itself is made and answered.

Sleep peacefully.

Analyse my dilemma

See what ambition and duty are actually asking. Your career dilemma, ending in one committed call, the first step, and every option with its cost. Not a chatbot that flatters the option you're leaning toward: a call made once, after the facts, that holds when you're too worked up to think straight.

How it works

1. It asks before it answers

Write the real tension. KarmaLens asks for the one or two facts that matter, one question at a time.

2. One decision, and it holds

No “it depends”. The first step, and the exact first line to say.

3. Every option, with its cost

Two to four real paths with their costs, the one Sarathi leans to marked — and a real Gita verse if one fits, never invented.

Questions before you trust it?

Privacy, verse matching, crisis handling — answered without the legalese.
