“I joined one of the largest rice company this January 2026 as a Product Development Executive. I have learned so much in this job but the pay is bare minimum fresh grad pay, its been less than a year since I worked here and I need to rent out a place and cook which costs money. Honestly I dont have savings at all. I dont have anything for emergengy fund or investing and im genuinely scared. I saw this job offer in my hometown which is 2k more than my current salary for the current position title but I just started my career in this field and i think i have alot more to learn. Is it okay to apply for this job? Need advice.”

Hi! In my opinion you should apply or the job. I mean, it’s very important to be able to have an emergency fund and enough money to be able to at least survive. And when it comes to the fact that you think you have more to learn, you will probably learn just as much there. Now I do think you should do what you think is right and if in the meantime you decide to yay then do so, this is just how I see things.
