Mine's terrible at organising things around the house and his room, leaves food outside on the table at night, leaves lights, geysers on all the time. Sits with his legs on the dining table.

which one would be better to join and how to evaluate:

 fairly old startup (~10 years) with extremely competent folks (Top IITs) VS 2 year old startup in Seed Stage with friendly team but team size <10

getting similar comp but much higher stocks in the seed stage. extremely confused because I think it’ll be similar work life balance in both. don’t know if it’s right time to take risk so early in my career (my YOE: <1)

I also think the work might be hectic in the first than the second. learning curve might be more in the first. from another standpoint, the first company is much more well recognised and more "stable"

also- for folks who have been in the job for a while, how important would it be to stay close to your home eventually? do you feel lonely in cities away from home?

sometimes I feel I should go for stability and other time I feel it’ll be fine at max the early startup will give me atleast one year experience so very confused

Was interviewing with them. R1 the panel joins 30 mins late. R2 Panel postpones the interview. Late by 30 mins after the revised schedule ( SPM guy).

After casual greeting my first question was how's a typical workday like at park+ (considering it was almost 8pm already).
The man tells me he's been working till 4am for a few weeks already - "It's a HIGH GROWTH company" and 10 other reasons to justify this toxic culture. Obviously I told him I'm out of the process but really disappointed with this unprofessional behavior as well as pathetic interview experience. 
PS - the HR though was nice and had to apologise to me for all the mess.

Don't join Park+ (You'll be expected to work till 4am)

workplace messups get to my head

Assistant Manager

Once I was facing an issue with integrating a component. Searched high and low on the internet, tried what little was there, resulted in nothing. Took help from SMEs, still nothing. We all kept scratching our heads as to why this error was coming. The astonishing thing was that only this particular instance was causing trouble. The component was working fine everywhere else.

We were trying all possible things, and I knew it in my gut that the problem wasn't with the component, it's somewhere else. A few days later a thought striked, and I followed through. And what do I see, the error was resolved. Literally the most basic thing, that was already implemented, I just redid it and bam!

This is only one of such incidents that have now solidified the following thoughts:

1. It's always the small things that cause the biggest of messes.
2. Always listen to your gut.
3. The error is where the impact occurred, don't get blindsided by it. The root is somewhere else.

What has your experience been?

It is always the small things that cause the biggest of messes

It has been 25 days since I got laid off from the startup that I was working for. I have given a few interviews. Got rejected in 1st or 2nd rounds in a few, went till the last round n rejected in a couple and haven't heard back from the HR in a few. Not hearing back, unanswered calls, delays in rounds etc. cause a lot of anxiety and impacts my confidence and preparation levels. How do I tackle it? 
Also, unable to find fresh openings in product/ strategy roles for past few days. This also adds to pressure and uncertainty.

In short, it is a very troubling phase. How do I deal with it? Need enormous help from all of you folks. Would love to hear some great thoughts / insights / hacks too.
