[Thread] Grapeviners 🍇? Drop one lesson from your learnings at work.

What is the one advice you would have given to your younger self when you were just about the start your first job straight out of college? Grapeviners experiences would really come in handy :) Cheers!!

Hello good people of grapevine, I have recently started my full-time job as a software engineer, and wanted to start my journey into investing. After doing a bit of research, I feel SIPs in mutual funds is the way to go forward at this point. For now I want to start putting 20k into MF SIPs every month. I took a look at a few MFs which were very high risk but over a period of 3-5 years yielded great returns (50%) as well. While the low to moderate risk MFs yielded low returns (5%). Though the risk is high, but seeing stable returns over a large period of time, how safe is it to invest in very high risk MFs and not incur losses? Any other advice is also thoroughly appreciated Thanks fellow grapeviners. risk appetite: moderate to high investment horizon: 5-10 years

I'm working as an APM at a startup for about a year now. I work with another guy who happens to be my senior, PM and both of us report to the director. Of late, my senior, i.e., the PM has been undermining my work when the two of us are working together, subtly taunting me that what I've done is pretty easy and non impactful business wise. He also disregards the decisions made by me, modifies the PRDs discovered and written by me and mails them as his own. Eventually, he ends up adding me to the walkthrough calls because I had discovered the features but then concludes everything such that he had owned everything end to end. Recently, both of us were given a documentation to be done by our manager, i.e., the director. I had completed almost 70% of that document, but in our call with the director he presented it saying that he had written that document and I had made a few changes to it. This undermines my work and visibility of my capabilities. I don't know how to tackle this situation, my manager is usually busy and leaves it upto this PM to allocate work, which he unfairly uses. How do I talk to my manager about this. I'm fairly new to corporate, just graduated last year and don't know how to handle all this. But this thing has been bothering me lately, really looking forward to any advise my fellow grapeviners may have.

I know it’s early, but it’s an extended weekend 😅 Share an article / post that made you go ‘Aha’ in the recent past. Let me start with one - would love to hear opinions on this. https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theatlantic.com%2Ffamily%2Farchive%2F2018%2F12%2Frich-people-happy-money%2F577231%2F

- Best part is that growth here (read: love and grapes) is based on personality and not (my) face 😂 - This community has seen it all: rants on my job, boss, interns, finding a new job, dodging a notice period scam, losing the job, brain-fkng ITR, to garnering 12k grapes! - This platform has India's top professionals: people from/in top colleges and companies, doing groundbreaking work, yet humble enough to discuss random things with me. I’m so awed tbh * insert the puppy face eyes * - Another thing I love about being here is keeping my creativity alive. So many (so many) triggering comments, and if I am not impulsive, I come up with great comebacks! - I have gotten into such petty debates and also abruptly left conversations (common in millennials, no?) - In hindsight, maybe revealing my gender wasn't the best idea. P.S. @Michael_Scott didn’t promise me airpods (yet). Please stop making me sound desperate. Someone mentioned I could get a job and buy the airpods, but it is (never was) about the airpods. P.P.S. Love when people call me Biryani!
