Question 6: Recognition vs silent contribution

Situation

Farah Khan, 28

M.Sc. Chemistry, from Bhopal, MP

Farah works in a pharma quality lab, earning ₹30,000/month.

Her work is critical but rarely acknowledged. Promotions are slow.

She has another offer with similar pay, but clearer performance recognition.

She asks you:

“Does recognition really matter that much?”

Your advice?
