It sure is if you’re not on survival mode.

yes bro, absolutely. I second that. But don't forget ur work has to be part of u. Such humility is need across all levels :). Paisa kamana kamao, mediocre life jeeni hain jio, it's urs. U don't have to judge life of others or urs. :)

life is bigger than WITCH, FAANG or BLACKI- Grapevine

Hi Grapeviners,
I would like to hear some suggestions on what should I do next.
I am an non-IT engineering graduate, got into an MNC (witch) for 3.5LPA, was onboarded for a support role after clearing all mandatory  trainings and tests, where majority of my work revolves around filling Excel sheets and scheduling support calls.
After a lots of struggle I was relieved from that project(after 1year 5 months). After that I joined a python automation script development team

My current python team is going very well, i get to dirty my hands with code in python.
It's been 6months in python team. Over all 2years spend in same company, when I try to switch for other company, I feel like I'm no where close to their requirements, my only skill is python application automation using respective modules, with months of experience.

Most of the roles I see are having different different combinations of tools and technologies. 

I also know medium level DSA.

Please suggest what should I do so that I can switch companies.

What should I do after being in support role?

google douchebag if you do not know what it means

Is it must for a founder to be a douchebag to succeed in startups

I understand that they pay less and it's a sweatshop type atmosphere in these companies, but all these influencers are making people believe that sitting idle without work is better than joining these companies. I feel that especially students and freshers are getting influenced into thinking that they have to get 40+lpa packages and if they don't, then it's their fault they should purchase some shitty course that influencers are peddling. Some influencers have even said that joining WITCH might even harm peoples' career. Is this true or far from reality?

Why so much hate against WITCH companies?

They will have a better social life than many FAANG folks

The FAANG and unicorn employee salaries for even 2-7 YOE engineers is quite insane compared to the average Indian employee pay in other sectors of the economy.

The average SDE2 at these companies makes 50+ lakhs per year in compensation (not “CTC” but real money) The average SDE3 makes 80+ lakhs which is frankly insane.

What are you guys doing with all that money?

FAANG & unicorn folks, what do you do with all that money?

Giving 34.2% directly and 18-28% indirectly to gormint. My biggest expenses by a country mile.

Working at TCS has been nothing short of a disappointment. The so-called "job security" they boast about is the only thing going for them.

Job security alone doesn't pay the bills or bring job satisfaction.

My pay package is so laughable + there is no room for career growth here. It is almost like they want you to stagnate, my managers know so little that I can only think that the smart people leave and only the mediocre remain at TCS.

TCS is a place where dreams go to die. I joined through TCS Ninja ~2 years ago because Amazon revoked my offer and that was my biggest mistake.

I am preparing for FAANG again now.

My career is a joke at TCS 🤡

Software Analyst

I joined TCS 3yrs ago and since then I couldn't switch. I am planning since last year March but actually not able to work on it. Even I couldn't apply actively. Currently I am involved in a role which has nothing to do with development and I feel bit less confident. So I want to know why it is so hard to leave? Does everyone feel same? Is this ecosystem somewhat responsible for this?

Why is it so hard to leave first company?

6 YOE joining 5th company next month.  
    
  Never let a retard shame you for job hopping.  
  Job hopping is one of the fewest ways to attain some economic mobility in this shithole country.   
  For a corporation understand that you're a fungible resource. They'll throw you under the bus once you've outlived their utility. Always lookout for your own personal interest first.

If yes, can someone share their journey? Would be great if it's a journey of a UX designer who joined a FAANG company as a UX designer.

Has there been any scenario where someone from a WITCHA company joined FAANG during their careers?

Had a call with my cousin this weekend. Life has been very hectic lately so, I have been laying low for a while now. Anyway, my cousin reached out and he brought up something very interesting. He mentioned how the quality of new engineering grads at FAANG has been trending downwards over the last three or so years.

Technical competency aside, there is a weird behavioural shift wherein freshers have adopted job hopping every 2-3 years. He told me that there are zero engineers who stayed longer than 3 years at his org. 

I mean optimizing for pay is fine. The thing to really balance for is impact in the long run because at one point you would find it hard to scale beyond a Lead/EM role at an org. 

But the real thing is that the "FAANG" hype has started to die down amongst the 99th percentile of talent. I wonder how long will it take to have a trickle down effect to 80th percentile and so on.

Just to validate, I asked a friend for his opinion and he opined that "Bhai, tum FAANG mei naaukar ho ya kisi startup mei, ho toh naukar hi." Translation: "You can work at FAANG, or at a startup but you are still a servant(employee)"

Is the FAANG hype really dead?

Is the FAANG hype dead? 💀

Was there any faang hype among 99th percentile folks in the first place?? 
 I graduated from a tier-1 college, majority of my friends are from Similar colleges and if I look in my friend circle, most of the folks are working at high growth startups or something of their own.  
 Sorry to say but faang was never aspirational to begin with.  
 The target audience of youtuber bhaiya/didis were tier-2/3 folks and maybe this kind of hype exists among them.
