Is Grapevine only for Tech & IT Folks?

New to this place. Suggestions welcome! TIA

Hey folks, Today we have 21 communities on Grapevine. SWE, PM, Salary Discussion, Office Gossip, Indian Startups, Bangalore being some of the most active ones. What are some other communities/use cases that we should create? Please do chime in with suggestions :)

Hey Folks, I thought I should do an AMA specially after yesterday’s rumours that I have been laid off from Grapevine - this isn’t true 😂. It is however true that I have been PIPed and have a much reduced role now xD To be serious: Happy to answer any Grapevine questions that you may have. Features, ideas, questions on why we do what we do welcome - I’ll answer what I can! Cheers!

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. 🚀

I bet most users here are engineers but who are the other professionals? You can mention something like “Role @ Industry name”. Mention company if you’re comfortable I’ll start. Program Manager @ BFSI

Grapevine seems to be leaning towards tech related roles and organization, which is good but it would be great if people from other domains also talked about their companies. Folks from the FMCG segment, let's talk about: Your company It's Culture WLB Salary.

Hey everyone, 3 new communities have been added to Grapevine: 1. Designers: There were multiple requests including this one from @Yamprofessional that came recently: (https://share.gvine.app/pT5hTxgyN3MNS8ec6) 2. Data Science: Requested by a few users, this will be a new place for all posts for data/data analysts/data scientists/AI and more 😊 3. Slacking at Work: The third one is for fun, we've all been there and we're curious to see some of the creative ways people end up slacking at work. Here's the first one from my desk: https://share.gvine.app/7mGEVsRtV79DXGgn9 Thanks @bladerunner007 for pushing us to create this We'll continue creating more communities and spaces as we hear from you. Do keep sharing the feedback :)

I have 3 years of experience in frontend. I usually look for jobs by creating profile on Naukri and expecting calls from recruiters. Also, I apply directly on company portals. My question to the grapevine community is how should I find good companies? What I usually do is search up great places to work list or top tech companies on G2. I also apply based on LinkedIn jobs / posts about openings and from Instahyre and Wellfound. Sometimes I do ask for referrals. Is there any other ways to look up on good tech companies? What do other grapeviners do?
