Working in organisation and being self employed have differences which your example makes clear.
Organisation is always above individuals.
You can consider being self-employed. Working in organisation will always require putting comforts, personal likes-dislikes on lower priority than the organisation's requirements.
Imagine balancing between earnings from your own business (with your skill set) and spending on personal comforts. It will give you a better idea.

Hello HRINFOACCOUNT,
For whatever reasons quite a few people on this Forum have begun to avoid using their names............
Now pl. don't think I am pessimistic or blunt. I am only stating the facts of life..........what you think are the 'facts' will always change depending on the situation you are in. ONLY CHANGE IS CONSTANT.
Like Asha put it--YOU need to decide which one is MORE important for you....comforts or learning/career. Based on my experience, I can tell you one thing for sure. One doesn't get opportunities to learn regularly, and the wise one wouldn't leave a chance to grab it if & when it comes. And like someone else said: zindagi mein kuch paana hai tho, kuch khona hai. Now it depends ENTIRELY on the individual as to 'what he wants'.
I have always advised freshers who come to me as a part of their job-hunting to focus on the learning process for the first 2-3 yrs irrespective of the salary & comforts. the money & comforts will follow, but the learning process won't, even if they realise their mistake and want to start all over again.
If you want to change just b'coz of this factor, the possible consequences could be like this [pl. note I say-"possible"], from DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES.
--you may get a job where your comforts are taken care of, but you could stand to loose the scope you now have reg learning.
--Now without sounding prophetic, what if your personal well-off status that permits you to live such a life-style takes a beating? Wouldn't you perforce lower your living standards? [don't tell me it can't--go thru the newspapers and you will read of how many have had to change when circumstances change..........and in such situations it WILL INVARIABLY BE by force].
--looking from a purely spiritual standpoint, whenever one lands into some situation despite the best efforts NOT TO, there's always a reason for it....even if he/she doesn't understand it then. And it WILL BE ALWAYS FOR THAT PERSON'S good, in the long run. Quite possibly, it usually is a preparation for some situation that's coming in his/her life.
All I can say is: apart from learning the job, also learn to give your best shot to whatever you have or you are into. And then what you wanted will always follow. If you want to crib about only the shortcomings, you will never succeed in life, and life's quite long than your few months/years stay in this company. Like someone said: you can look a half-filled glass as 'half-filled' or 'half-empty'.....all depends on YOUR view. And whether to adapt or be rigid also is YOUR choice.

Dear Friend
Although my suggestions seems very ideal but it is effective.Dont think of changing the job.Better u should try to provr ur worth to the company so that they can send you by flight or etc .Its ur battle win it in your own style.

QUOTE=hrinfoaccount;714678]Hello All,
There is this peculiar problem faced by me. After my post graduation I have joined this company. Its a mediocre company but the kind of profile offered to me is really challenging.
Currently, my job requires me to travel often all over India. I am open for traveling but due to set corporate travel policy of company I need to travel by 3 tier AC and to stay at properties which are 1 or 2 stars & even at times Non - Ac rooms.
Well, fortunately whenever I traveled before for my personal work or any tours I have always traveled by air & stayed in standard hotels.
Now, Here on my officially trips, I even upgrade the hotel rooms or train travel class by paying from my own pocket.
Kindly give me some suggestion to deal with this situation when your employer expects you to do which you not used to it ? Shall I look for change for this reason ? Coz its been 1 year and I am paying the difference for hotel rooms or upgraded train fare.
I may sound arrogant here But its a genuine concern. I will be glad IF you could give your valuable suggestions. :?:[/QUOTE]

Dear Hrin,
I understand your situation & trust me its no wierd..Thats your lifestyle..
And its very natural you behaving this way.
Congragulation, you have completed 1 year in this organization and I am sure you must have got good nack of exposure till now..since a learner can learn things evn in 2-3 months time if 1 has that zeal in them..
All I can say you is its not a so big issue dear..Its just that you are not happy coz you have to spend some money from your pocket.Ask the management if they can solve your problem.Ask them for airfare instead of train.Or tell them to give you good Compensation & Benefits which can suit your lifestyle which implies your rutin..(As i understand, evn if its Train,24 Hrs yravelling is boring)..Try to do some good adjustments with your mangaement..The best thing is to go and tell them straight your issue & ask them if they can help you with same..Be transparent & put your issue in a proper way..
Unlimately,I can jsut give you a suggestion or chice, You are the best person to judge what's good for you..
All the Best & Good Luck:-)

From the short description given it sounds like a marketing job.
The Indian population is made of 28% middle and upper class, 70% lower and below poverty line. Only 2% are affluent.
The experience you gain by keeping your eyes and years open to the various facets of the Indian populace has no tangible value. In fact it is priceless.
What would have taken you 5 years to achieve up the corporate ladder can be achieved in 2 years with this kind of exposure.
This is one of the best practical orientation to increase you knowledge bank on the Indian mind set. Will help plan strategies for new product development, brand planning, advertising strategy etc. This would not be possible if you are lost inside an airplane or a 3 or 5 star hotel within an air-conditioned environment.
Remember, the grass is always green on the other side. And whatever is white is not milk

I generally move to the bottom line. There are 2 boxes in this world. One I can change and one I can't. I only work on the things in the box I can change. In this situation you can accept the conditions, as they are in the box of things you cannot change or control your destiny by changing jobs, that you can control. Sounds like the management of your company are frugal people, so be it. Look for management that is more opulent. In this recession, that may be hard. Always have another job before you leave the one you're with. Best of fortune to you.

When you are in Rome it is better to behave like a Roman. Not withstanding that, it is difficult to define 'COMFORT'.
Moreover the dividing line between the personal and professional life sdould be drawn as early as possible in your professional career.
I feel these are no reasons to make one upset as long as you are enjoying your present work.
