Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

At Nexus(our startup), we're passionate about revolutionizing the way people invest in Stocks and crypto. But as any startup founder can attest, the path to success is often filled with obstacles.

Recently, we encountered a significant roadblock in our quest for funding. A potential investor turned us down, citing that hit us hard: we didn't have a fully functioning MVP.

Now, you might be wondering, what exactly our MVP was showing? Well it wasn't the flashy trading platform we dream of. Instead it considered a basic interface with stock prices displayed here and there. The cold reality is that users couldn't buy or sell any assets, nor could they access other advanced features. Why, you ask ?

The answer lies in the complex regulatory landscape of the financial industry. To facilitate the trading functionality, a platform must obtain a SEBI license. This license requires rigorous compliance with financial regulations, and crucially proof of "financial backing". 

Investors won't understand that we need a significant amount of funding to take off. Without it, we'd be swimming in the shallow waters.

Corporate law as a profession is criminally underrated.
People working there get upward of 50 lpa with > 4 yoe and in cold hard cash no ESOPs RSU bullshit.
People with high yoe become irreplaceable and valuable and are not replaceable unlike Tech.
Firing rarely happens and the path to become a partner is quite possible (they earn more than 1.5 cr per year) after 10 yoe.
Tech is a joke tbh 🤡

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I am really shocked at whats happening around with all these tech/Product influencer, I think I was living under a rock. Realising, you don't need to know jack shit, you just need decent profile. and pretend to know stuff and be lucky your boss is also dump. I actually envy not knowing these skills but ppl like them are going for a killing and knowledgable group who actually built and solved something are weeping in corner.

WTF is going on? how tf these ppl are selling such silly things for so much, are everyone do dump

Computer Operator

My friend currently works in the aforementioned field making 3LPA as a fresher. 

She has internship experiences beforehand in companies such as ITC, Unacademy to name a few. 

Just curious how the scene for this field is in the long run, and is the salary justified.

Basically the title. Did one of these about a year ago and thought I'd do another one.

A bit about me - I'm a lawyer, I specialise in startups, international law (especially concerning Web 3) but have worked in a boutique role (basically, 0-100 everything legal).

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

Hi folks,

I want to move over to Dubai/AD area for a couple of years to build a decent corpus

I am 30 years old, have been working in tech for 8 years, current Indian salary 50 L

Feel like moving to Dubai for its tax policies. My idea is to save some 5 cr and return

Anyone moved to these areas recently can share some pointers?

Thinking of asking 100 k usd base salary plus house as benefit when I interview, is this something I can get?

Current designation: Tech lead at a medium size bank

Best way to relocate to Dubai/AD

Link to the previous post: https://grapevine.in/post/72fa61dc-e75c-4824-8259-178755b694c6

I was coerced into putting in my resignation without any severance or notice period. It didn't bode well with the founder when I refused, and he terminated my employment with immediate effect.

I haven't received a salary for the last month I worked there. The founder and the team are not responding to any of my calls, emails, and text messages.

Any advice on how to navigate this? Contemplating the legal route now.

Employer terminated me without severance. Not paying salary for the last month I worked there either.

I bet most users here are engineers but who are the other professionals? 
You can mention something like “Role @ Industry name”. Mention company if you’re comfortable 

I’ll start.

 > Most earning 25 to 30 LPA min 
 > Most wanted to become APM/PM with 0YOE and expecting 1CR per annum cash component

Founder

So this is a problem that I’ve been facing for a while now. I’ve watched tonnes of educative videos where as a response to the recruiter’s question about last drawn CTC, the creator advises asking if there’s a budget allocated for the role. In my experience , on asking the budget, the recruiter blatantly says that they can’t disclose it but insists on asking about mine. Now, that isn’t so much a problem than the recruiter asking for the expectation. In this scenario, it’s either quoting a very low band so that you can still be consider for the role and being underpaid or you quote what you actually want for them to consider and they rejecting their candidacy on that every criterion. 
P.S. - This conversation usually happens telephonically and is one of the first interactions with the recruiter/company. Most companies on LinkedIn complete this exercise via form which leaves no room for discussion or consideration. 

Is there anyone else who’s faced a similar issue? How did you go about it? 
Just FYI I come from a legal background, so idk if this trend is domain specific, but any insights/suggestions would be of immense help.

Being underpaid v Not being considered for the role

In a shocking turn of events, a former employee at MoEngage, while serving their notice period, reportedly downloaded over 1,000 files, including confidential pitch decks, proposals from active deals, and sensitive product documentation, onto their personal device. This individual allegedly shared the stolen data with a competitor they were preparing to join.

As a result, this competitor has started appearing in all of MoEngage’s deals, armed with insider information, and MoEngage is facing unprecedented losses against them. The IT team at MoEngage flagged this alarming activity, and the former employee is now facing legal prosecution.

How low can you stoop for a company?

The employee is in for a world of pain  
  
 But the company probably did something to piss the employee off so bad, no one jeopardizes their career like this unless it was something personal
