Got some spare time nowadays. Folks looking for an extra hand?

(This is a networking request but if it comes across as a personal ad against community guidelines, I can take it down.) I'm a journalist turned brand and corporate communications executive turned published author with two decades of experience in content, news media, branding, and public relations. My passions are financial literacy and personal finance. I'm well connected with the national media especially in finance. I'm also a spokesperson appearing on TV regularly to discuss personal finance matters. (Here's a big-ass AMA thread from me - https://grapevine.in/post/62dc97ee-e9f8-45bb-82d0-7174bdef05c4 ) I'm based in Bangalore and have some free time open, which I intend to use to develop mutually beneficial professional relationships. Any founders, marketeers, or comms people here who have ongoing challenges with my areas of expertise? I'm open to discussions, short-term consulting projects and mentoring. Cheers.

So here's the background, I'm a product marketing professional in his mid-20s. I'm sick of living every month from pay check to pay check. I feel insecure in my job and can't see myself doing this for the next decade or so with so much uncertainty on my head. I've always wanted to do something of my own and shifted to Bangalore with the hope that I will find a partner along the way. Though I haven't built anything of my own before, I'm trying to grasp product management. Marketing is something I'm good at so no worries on that front. For purposes as stated above, I'm looking for a guy who can handle everything tech while building something in SaaS. Now's the time and age so why not give it a shot? Here's what I'm thinking, the job goes on as usual for both of us, but we can take out a few everyday post working hours to brainstorm something of our own. And the weekends of course. Best shot - we start something of our own, worst shot - we gain some initial experience in entrepreneurship and don't have to feel burdened by insecurities every time our manager demands something different from us. Comment below if you're based in HSR and are willing to join me - to handle everything tech. P.S. I have a 1-BHK so workspace won't be an issue. Seeing this go on for a minimum of 5-6 months before we can break even.

Hiii- I am working on a small project for the upcoming general elections (trying to do my bit). Looking for bit of help from someone who can help me code the stuff. My background is MBB+ growth at a consumer tech company. Excited to meet cool folks to work with! Commitment- 2-3 weekends in February

What should I am for? - A well named startup or company at slightly lower pay? - A high payed salary from the startup or a company that no one ever heared of... Example: Currently I am making 12 LPA as a marketer. But I am worried about my future as I am finding it tougher to get hired for salary anything above than this. How about working at a fancy startup? (meesho, sugar, CRED, etc.) at a lower pay like 10 LPA - will it secure my future? As people prefer to hire ex-employee from these fancy startups. Or should I be searching for a 15 LPA or 20 LPA job but from a company or startup that no one ever heard about, adding no value to my CV while working there

From sales, marketing, creating the gtm, analysing customer journeys. Anything except tech. Let me know if any of you have something for me. Dont have any greed for Esops or anything

What are certain HARD SKILLS for required in growth roles ( like SEO, advance excel etc) which i should learn and feel free to recommend resources as well! Any other suggestions is also welcomed!

Team is less than 10 people still, slowly growing. Net profit could be higher, that's top priority to work on now. Total cash invested by founders was 15L over 3-4 years. Yearly revenue : 2019 - less than 30k 20 - 1.5L (after pivot) 22 - 50L Getting to the first lakh and then to 10 lakhs was probably the most challenging part. We thought of shutting down multiple times, struggled through multiple fights between founders. Glad we didn't stop working and pulled through. This is my 4th or 5th attempt at starting up. Except for 1, other attempts didn't even get to incorporation stage. Would love to hear from other bootstrappers and their experience.
