[Thread] If all jobs paid the same and qualifications were no issue, what career would you choose instead of your current role?

I have generally seen this either in reel / film life or real life, where people who love what they do, tend to be - 1. Much more happier / satisfied everyday 2. They give way more of themselves into the task not because someone demands it, but because they want to, they enjoy it 3. They constantly improve and be better at this thing 4. They aren't in it for the money. They don't do things or learn more or put more hours because it's paying them, they do it because of the love for the thing. Money is just an add-on Do you guys have anything like this in life which you enjoy doing so much and can do it without thinking about the money you'd get. This thing shouldn't be something you consume, but something you produce, even if it helps 1 person out, still counts! Eg. You do coding, learn new things in it, not because it pays you, but because it's what you love doing. You'd probably still keep doing it even if it doesn't pay you anything

It is very very tough to get in but once you are here, life is pretty great. Comment below if you want to know anything about the recruitment process or any other general or specific stuff. I can't reveal anything that's classified though.

Ya fir ab bhi soch hi rhe ho ki kya banna he 😂😂, I was just thinking what we have done for ourselves like what's the destination where we want to go ye baat kisi bhi private employee ko nhi pta hogi bs kisi or ne apna kaam hame diya hua he or ham kr rhe he usse usko pata he usse kha Jana he, ham uski bs help kr rhe he wha tk phochne k liye, hamari destination wo he hi nhi wo kabhi thi hi nhi. Jb last moment aayega tb question puchenge sb khudse tum kya Krna chahte they usse krne k liye try Kiya bhi ya nhi mila bhi ya nhi.

I think I would have been an Uber driver 🙂

Like for example - Engineering in CSE but not working as software engineer Left normal corporate jobs, started freelancing Found out entirely new profession to do? Farming? Curious on what made you take that decision! What the world convinced you about the decision? Did your friends and family treated you differently when you didn't walk the conventional path?

Imagine you are financially secure with no concerns at all. What would you do to pass the time?

I know Grapevine is full of young and ambitious people that either planning to get into Product or are already working as a PM. I don’t aim to discourage any of you. Moreover, if you need tips to break into Product I would be happy to help you. I personally feel that knowing what you are doing is going to doom is better than normalizing it. So I will convey my experience in simple words, how I hated every single day of it, why did I still stick around for 4 years, why product decisions are random political bullshit, why you should not let anything that happens get under your skin and affect your morale. Finally, few words for sociopathic Head of Products. Lesson #1: Go through all stages of grief at once. Accept that product culture is broken and accept that it will not get better. Finally, you can’t fix it or improve it. Lesson #2: Ratings are political bullshit. I can tell you the years I was rated worse I was probably working harder and better at my job. It just depends on the results you get in the last month before ratings and whether your DOP is vocal for you. Lesson #3: Last piece of advice: do not let your Product years lower your self esteem or sense of self worth. Also, some words for sociopathic Head of Products. F’ you.
