Growth And Strategy

Kudos to them for being upfront. 
  
 Atleast they aren't a wolf in sheep's clothing.

It's TravClan. I heard good things about the company though, in terms of growth and all, but at what cost lol

Product Manager

love the transparency here - not everyone's cup of tea ofc

Software Engineer

travclan yea, heard this a year back. the ceo and team are pretty upfront about it. not a bad place from what i heard. but pay is too low for the demanded man hours

Business Analyst

Appreciate the transparency, ok. But if we let such companies thrive then we are the problem and don’t deserve to cry

Chartered Accountant

Software Developer

At least they're being honest about their expectations. I don't know what to feel, they recruit from campus though.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Looking for insights into the interview for quite senior AI position at Krutrim. Has anyone gone through the loops yet, would appreciate some insights. 
They are claiming that they will match any salary, I am doubtful they will match US Salary in India, but I am very excited by the work they are doing, so willing to give it a shot.

Any inputs are appreciated 🙏🏼

Krutrim Interview exp anyone?

AI Engineer

While the Big Four might be known for their dedication to spreadsheets, rumors of them being health-hating, family-forgetting robots are greatly exaggerated. Sure, deadlines can be tight, and the competition fierce, but let's not paint everyone with the same brush. Many individuals find fulfillment in these fast-paced environments, and the firms themselves are increasingly offering resources and initiatives to promote well-being. Remember, judging entire groups can be a recipe for misinformation and missed opportunities for understanding. Let's keep the conversation open and focus on fostering healthy work cultures for everyone.

Debunking the Myth: Do Big Four Firms Truly Disregard Health and Family Life?

I have read that they are burning a lot of money. But I still see them hiring.
Have they laid people off recently?
Current employees shed some light on what’s happening internally.

For someone with ~2 yrs post MBA experience in mgmt consulting, exploring exits at Revolut.

1. How is the growth here? Over the next 3-5 yrs, can folks expect 15-20% CAGR cash component growth?

2. What do people do after Revolut? There aren't many mature fintechs that can pay similar?

3. How is the ESOP game playing out? Have there been any but backs? 3-5 yrs into the firm, what is the most likely ESOP allocation? 

4. I've heard working hours are like 10am-7pm. Is that accurate across most teams? Do folks work weekend?

5. How is the culture? Is there top-down aggression/ hard culture? Given everything is remote, do folks ever meet in person?

How are Revolut strategy & ops role?

Sharing frustrations with starting up a business. In my career I have raised over $30m over multiple rounds.

Co-founders in non-business roles get pushed out by politics. Sharing control with co-founders is messy, inconvenient, time consuming. Money lets you hire people who have to answer to you.

If you are not the main ‘Business person’ in a startup high chance you are disposable, no matter what skills you have. And it sucks to spend so much effort only to get bullied out and left with nothing.

Some investors will follow you on social media, if your business is not growing QoQ don’t post anything on social media that implies you are not working every weekend. They will ask why you are not working.

 If you are CEO, be ready for every random person to tell you how to run your business. Not in a ‘friendly advice’ kind of way, if you are the CEO you have a target on your back.

 Investors don’t know about your industry or have very dated knowledge. Some will just say random tips like ‘try web3’ or ‘try SaaS’ and blame you for following their advice when it fails.

 Your progress is measured against fraud companies who fake numbers, or the 1 in thousands who succeed. Get made to feel like you are failing to live up to super high expectations constantly.

 Employees work half your hours, off sick usuall one day a week, deliver next to nothing and expect 20% hikes every year because that’s what their friends make, or they read some dumb startup hires freshers at 20LPA. 

Smooth talking people with the same idea as you, no traction, never shipped a product in life, will raise a huge seed round due to 'pedigree' and spend it all on self promotion. You will always be compared to these clowns who find ways to lecture others while building nothing of value.

Dark side of starting up.

So much truth in everything you’ve written 
 “your progress is measured against fraud companies who fake numbers”  
  
 This has become just more prevalent over time. Confidently advice learnings from startups that are faking GMV or PMF metrics :)

Hi Folks, has making a 9hour workday become a standard practice in all offices?

hey guys, I'm interviewing at a startup currently and they are asking me if I can work 6 days a week for a couple of months initially till the Product goes live. 
how do I respond to this? I want to take the offer but the 6 day work week is what pulling me back from accepting the offer.

6 day work week normal at Startups?

It’ll never be for a couple of months only :)

Private Equity

Senior Associate

For me 5 - I start by 11 and end by 7 but take an hour lunch break, 4-5 tea/coffee breaks and some gossips - I tracked one day and it was 5.2 hrs.


What about you?

How many hours do you actually work per day?

I have adhd so I don't (read : can't) work until 2 days before sprint is about to get over then wrap the stuff up with anywhere between 8-10 hours pn both days.

Operations Manager

This person, say ABC, has been cribbing not finding an internship

I try fix one for them

Instructions I get, stipend should be 10-15k/mo, or won't do

Umm, I mean?

GenZ's (over)confidence amazes me

Thats the bare minimum pay one can expect even as an intern. Thats not overconfidence. They just don't want to do free labor and be exploited lol

Application Analyst

I have recently got offer letter from a company, however I have few queries or doubts with some terms written in it. Will it be alright if before signing the documents I send them a mail seeking clarification on those points??

Asking queries before signing offer letter

Recently set out to hire interns and had a really strange experience

Went through about 170 CVs. Most were shabbily formatted - which is okay, I understand most people aren’t that serious in college.

But then after shortlisting and setting up interviews:
- Multiple kids just did not show up for the interview. They did not even write a mail excusing themselves. Or reply to any mail from me about them missing the call.

- Some of them literally turned up for the call on their phone. They’re mostly well to do, and definitely have laptops. But just casual. 

- This reduced my selection pool to literally 8-9 interns from 180. Of these too, generally saw most of them had too much overconfidence and arrogance about them. Barely went into the depth of the answers, and would over-portray their contribution in past projects/internships, without being able to explain what they really did

I am genuinely shocked and taken aback. These were all Tier 1 college kids, and I just did not expect it to be so bad. A shock for me, and a future shock for many of these kids when they get into the workforce!

College kids have a reality shock waiting for them

Come to Tier 3 colleges, they are very humble and hardworking 😊

This influencer with a massive following on YouTube laid me & my team off within a week of hiring since apparently they have deferred their Series A. Bro, why didn't you figure it out before I joined. They bumped off Sourcing, D2C sales head, Finance, Offline Sales head, etc as well. Apparently - they still have the HR head drawing the salary of probably more than 50L pa since they need to build 'culture' for a team size of less than 25 ppl now.

Business model: D2C business launching products in partnership with Influencer to leverage their following

Founders couldn't Figure Out fund raise

Bro there's Sham in the name.  What else did you expect.

Sales Manager

Recently I've been contracting for a product based company and almost everyone is constantly online regardless of time.

Is it the same in product based companies or is this one an outlier? Additional context: the overall company size is around 30-40 employees.

Are you available on Slack/Teams after 8 or 9?

Frontend Engineer

Freshers impacted in software/product and data science profiles. Day 1 company in all colleges. Placement season is almost over everywhere and now these students are without a job just days before their joining date. No severance too unlike layoffs. 

Used to pay a lot though, 30 lakhs base salary for SDEs and 15 for product analysts after taking gruelling overnight interviews.

Heard internally there struggling a lot which is reflected in their stock price which is halved from 2021 despite a bull run in US tech companies in the same period.

Note to anyone thinking of getting into sprinkr(obviously in future cause they showing middle finger now): join only if you want to work like a donkey in exchange of lots of money.

Sprinklr revoked 150+ offers accross IITs, NITs, BITs and other tier 1 colleges.

Calm down. A person who cracked a 30 lpa offer will do well in life regardless of whether Sprinklr is a heartless corp or not. Fuck them.

Program Manager

How much salary a fresher software engineer deserves.....just interested in pov

Fresher SDE salary

I read the glassdoor reviews and it says a bootlicking, inexperienced management and very bad work life balance. It also says good growth and good pay.

I try to stay optimistic and ask folks at Navi as to what is the ground reality. Can you share instances of what is the work culture or just give your reviews?
