Bcz of the outburst of ai I feel there are a lot of data scientist/machine learning engineer/data engineer roles in the market and sde roles have bcz very scarce with 1000s of applications
Should ppl shift to these roles from sde ?

Sde has less opening compared to ds/mle/de roles

Data Scientist

I will keep it short.

So I know this guy who goes to the same gym as me, 

The dude always looked kinda lonely so I would often greet him good morning or howdy,

However, I never got a chance to sit and talk to him as he always seemed in a rush,


Yesterday, I saw him talking to one of those  E-Girls on Instagram in the locker room, you know the ones which offer sexual video calls in exchange of a few thousand rupees,

I unintentionally read the chat while he was reaching out for his sipper,

And I saw "I dont want to have sex, I just want to talk to a real woman about my mental issues" something


While this sounded absurd and funny to me in the first moment of reading it, It left a resounding wave of abyss in me.
On how some people could be extremely lonely , and all they need is a hug !!!!

While his actions may not be the most mature of all, I do recognize this feeling. 


Afterall,
Duniya mein bohot gamm hai,
Apna dukh toh fir bhi kam hai.

Adulting: An Eye-Opening Experience

100% while I am a believer of being mentally strong. A recent incident also surprised me.  
 So this girl I matched on a dating app, was looking for a long term partner and was hoping for love marriage instead of arrange that her parents were doing. 
 We had been casually chatting but never even on a call. One day she asked me what I was doing the next day. I said i could open up my schedule for her. Then she asked let's meet tomorrow.  
 Then I got to know it was her birthday the next day and she had no one else to celebrate with so she was open to being with a random stranger. She used to live away from family all alone.  
 It felt so bad that the girl was feeling so down. So this changed a few thoughts about dating. Some people just want to talk freely and deeply. Wish the world could be a little more comfortable for such folks

How do you cope up with failures in career? Delayed timeline, failed project, not finding one's footing, navigating job and finding job satisfaction?

Welcome to Get Motivated's Private Community

My friends here, after having observed some common trends emerging in society today, it's very clear to me that being simple & normal is the best strategy. 

Look at the world around us:
- Attention spans are fucked. People cannot listen for 10 seconds without glancing over phone. There is very little recognition of the human in the 'other' person. 
- There is very little recognition of one self. Intoxicants, indiscipline, mindless activities are the sign of times. It's okay to do these. It's human to be silly. But it mustn't be your 24*7. 
- People are woke, but they're not awake. They'll come to you with a pitchfork as soon as they hear something that irks them, but barely try to understand your view.

These are disparate problems, and just some examples. 
The surest way to guard yourself is to **avoid doing what everyone else is doing**.

Be aware. Be disciplined. Exercise, eat well, sleep well, think well. 
Be simple, as you were a few years ago, or most people were mentally before the coming of the short term dopamine hit economy.

Random musings, thoughts welcome :)

Just be normal. Maintain your sanity. We will succeed in the long run.

CEO vs so called "mini CEO"

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

A few of my peers in my team talk tech jargons throughout the day in the workplace and do no work at all. They are the ones that are eventually promoted and I feel left out despite doing so much smart work and hard work both.

Teach me some ways to defeat these imposters and grow in my career.

How to grow your career amidst politics?

Software Architect

Stages of Life:
1. You’re at School and Grades are everything.
2. You get to college and your GPA is everything.
3. You get to your first job and your pay is everything.
4. You get to the end of the year and Performance Review is everything.

So, essentially at every moment in your life, you’re judged by a number. 

My heart goes out to all those who failed at being better at this. But, I really cry for my brethren who succeeded at this hustle, for the person you’ve become.

Drop your experiences down below. I’m just in a very mellow mood after work, contemplating about life’s weird quirks.

[Thread] When did you experience your first failure?

Write about a time you made someone feel very nice. Hopefully it can be a collection of ideas that others can take forward. If somehow a few people do something nice as a result, that would be powerful.

To start with an example: Bought a laptop for my grandfather because he wanted to continue working post 60. Helped him learn Excel, Gmail, Chrome browsing over many days. He really picked it up, and works as a consultant for new companies in the industry he worked all his life.

Good people of Grapevine: What's the nicest thing you've done for someone? (family/friends/a stranger) 🍀

You know its the small things that you do everyday that matter - giving your staff an off when they ask and not cutting their pay, feeding stray animals, quietly paying the bill when you know the other person is struggling financially, not haggling with street vendors for 100rs (when you’re paying 800rs to eat popcorn in PVR), changing the topic of conversation when you realise someone is feeling uncomfortable yet cannot say in front of others… we all need high empathy skills 🙏🏻

And I feel I am a dumb guy. The main thing is they have been very well educated, they have a ton of experience, every tiny detail about these people who I work with is so extraordinary and I feel like I am a dumb guy who is not even good with writing an email. Its not that I am not trying to learn, I am trying to extract as much knowledge from them but still it feels like I will never ever be as good as them.

Everybody in my office is talented

Product Marketing Manager

I’ll go first.

To me, it’s all about access. 
Access to authentic ideas.

The best search result you get on Google is high SEO but low authenticity. On LinkedIn, there are so many people but everyone is shilling a course or 1:1 resume reviews. 

Mostly it has become a place which started as vanity signalling 

Like
( I have started a new role…, I have been accepted at …, I have received offers from F, A, N and G and I’m joining G.)  

And now people pushing mindless content with “Agree?” or “Comment Interested”.

Somehow, everyone is truly inauthentic to please a wider audience and say the exact same generic gyaan to maximise engagement.

For now, Grapevine is where people are genuinely themselves and I get to hear interesting things that you get to hear near the coffee machine.

Kinda feels like we’re all a big community where we all contribute and learn new things about the professional landscape around us.

Godspeed Grapevine. 🚀
