Will it be too stress if taken instead of given?

Are responsibilities taken or given?

someone has to take up that responsibility

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Is it just me or is even a job at the best Tech companies just don’t make any sense for women? 

There are always women who have great family support or husbands that are understanding and encouraging. But generally why does it seem like becoming a senior woman in tech even at the best places is sort of unattractive and significantly increases your odds of “failure” outside of work e.g. divorce,having kids late? 

Interested for thoughts from both men and women.

27F Engineer: Software Engineering Not Worth It For Women?

Hmm, someone I know has more than 10+ patents(ex-broadcom), is a tech evangelist and an implementation advisor for a cloud tech, have 3 kids with fourth on the way. Sometimes you just need a supportive environment.

How would you live your life if you don't have any family/social responsibilities?

by Immigrating to a new country and starting a new life. Sick of this scarcity, struggle for every single fucking thing from getting a entry in local train, then slogging at work like donkey and then realising some MBA asshole will dictate your careers, then you think of becoming that asshole by getting masters but again fucking competition there, then wondering why the fuck am I paying taxes on your commute back to home in packed local train like a cockroaches, then struggle to get quality food, quality water and quality air, then again struggle to go to sleep and the Final struggle to wake up 
  
 But being the only child of my family and being their retirement fund is binding me here.  
  
 Sure other developed countries also have a competition but not to the extent of India.

Most of us here on GV are in the corporate boat. Some experienced, some new. I think most of us would not have dreamt of working in our jobs in childhood, and almost all of us landed into some role after our education and continued to grow after. While you continue to work for that next promotion or hike, when do you get the feeling of making it in corporate?

When did/would you feel you’ve made it?

When I don’t hate my job. That’s it. That’s my parameter.

At HeyCoach (EdTech Startup),  we often find ourselves managing multiple responsibilities simultaneously. Is it advisable to achieve moderate results across all tasks, or should we prioritize fewer responsibilities to deliver exceptional outcomes?

Just for better mental health. Because like sometimes managers or similarly ranked people, would make it seem like everything is important and needs to be done by xyz timeline. Have u tried to not take it seriously? How did it turn out for u?

Has anyone tried taking a serious task at work less seriously?

Hi all, 
I am a software engineer in a * company. But here the point is about myself, i don't like to code at all, infect i hate it now, but still i am doing it , because i have no choice, i can't leave it nor my family will be  supportive about it. I know its the best work in today's time but not for me. I also got promoted and been on a good pay (acc to exp). But i just don't want to do this job at all. My brain is affecting to a large extent , i have been hiding it from my family. I have a lot of headaches and tension of work like how am i going to do this. Because of having no interest in this, i am not improving my knowledge in this field, which have created fear about switching jobs. I forgets concepts , but i am able to work , don't know how, but i am afraid how long will i survive. My life is ahead me, many responsibilities lying ahead, but also i dont want to do this. What should i do ? Please help me , i can see only one option and that the very last option.

Coding...

It's been a year I'm working with one company that has good name. But everymonth I have 40% of the time where I work more than 11+hrs (with food and all activities I work 16 hrs sometimes)

How do You guys balance this?

I tried balancing this but my manager and lead are telling that I'm not taking taking ownership these days. Earlier when I used to work more I delivered on time and took lot of ownership. But when I work less and do just my work or logout after 10 hrs it's affecting this.

Happened with anyone?

Working hours at MNC (Fortune 500) MAANG

Data engineer

I am struggling in my career, in my post 30s too, stuck in jobs switch and upskillig race of jobs, no one to support you ( apart from the partner)I worry sometimes in this all messy life, what the hell I am going to do. If I am planning or having kids. ? Life is impossible sometimes, as we both  are under constant jobs pressure.

Are kids really that needed?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

What kind of work will I have to do in a logistics company after completing my Masters in Supply chain management. What are the roles I could get , how is the compensation, is it stressful ?, What kind of work will I have to perform ?

So, my boss is an absolutely lovely person, and is the best boss I've had so far. Not to brag, but I'm also the best performer in my team, by a mile. So, while I do get my pats on the back, I'm also rewarded with more and more work. I love, atleast so far, what I do, so I didn't mind taking up more work, because I learnt a lot in the process too, and it helped my hone my craft better.

Cut to now, I'm losing interest in work. Don't feel like taking up any new work, no matter how exciting the brief, or how great its potential.

I feel like I'm burnt out. And majorly demotivated.

What makes it worse is seeing this other member in my team chill the absolute fk out. He's hardly even given any important projects because of what a waste resource he is.

I've also just been promoted. So, I'm not sure if I should share what's on my mind with my boss.

My mind says I shouldn't, but my heart says it should be fine.

What should I do about:
1. Telling or not telling my boss what I'm going through (because I'm scared if it'll come back to bite my later)
2. Me feeling extremely burnt out and demotivated.

Drop in a joke or two, if you want, but please drop in a serious and genuine reply too.

Should I tell me boss I'm burnt out?

No, please dont in my opinion. Are you not taking leave’s? Please take leaves. 
  
 It might be contradictory on what i said but when it comes to bosses, it better not to talk about burning out and demotivated etc. 
  
 If you still want to do, sound as positive as you can be.  
 Boss sab ka bharosa nahi yaar.

I know this is not what majority of people like to listen, but for people coming from other cities with no friends and poor social skills, working remote or hybrid starts taking a toll on your mental health. 

The isolation it brings is so overwhelming. You feel trapped and frustrated, when there's no one to talk to.

Sometimes, I feel the quality of life of our kind of lower than street vendors at least they have people they can talk to. I just hate the way we are wired to be social animals yet find it overly difficult to connect with people.

Unpopular Opinion: I prefer Work from Office

If you are early stage of your career if you don't have responsibility at home you should come to office it's a healthy approach but for people like me who has already spend more than a decade in office life and has a small child at home working for home is like a saviour for me and my wife

Senior Engineer

I've been asked to do a take home coding assignment and submit within 3 days, what are some things I should consider before submitting, and are they really worth it? My interviewer hinted they place a lot of importance on it

What is your opinion on take home assignments

I am working as SDE 1 in a good Indian startup. It's getting toxic day by day. Late night workings like 3AM and working on weekends is normalised like anything. Since I am new to IT ( no sort of politics never) and have almost 2.5 Years of experience, I am facing issues in getting credits. Last appraisal cycle in January, I was nominated for promotion but wasn't given to me, reason: you have not worked with architect and he was making decisions. In that case, architect should have been distributed tasks to us. 

one SDE3 is leading one of the projects ( not a big one ) and manager/architect is not much interested and never join any standup or retro, I have contributed immensely to that. Now since it is completely driven by sde 3 , he takes updates from us and show his work infront of seniors and director + announces like his work and seldom we get thank you in threads. Like if you did one function or wrote complete flow, for both thank you. Because of all these reasons, my work is not getting recognised. There is no one in team to help in this. 

Whenever a manager or Architect show cases some features or release, it's pretty evident that his team has done it but when a sde 3 does it, it is not the same. It conveys the message all or 90% work is done by him. 

I would like to take some suggestions from my seniors and fellow mates here. 

Hierarchy - sde 1-2-3-4-EM
I can't leave or switch right now due to some critical persona reasons.

Need help !! Toxicity at workplace

Good Indian startup is an oxymoron statement

Analyst

3 years back when I was working in the project people were quite happy. We used to bond together and celebrate all festivals together. We used to take pictures and dance in party.
Now I have joined different project which has too much of workload It's like average 13 to 14hrs and weekend too. Calls from leadership at any time 24 X 7.
People are so busy that we all don't talk with each other at all. Even if someone needs help ppl are not able to help most of times. We all understand eachother problem but have no time to reflect of these things. 
I have seen colleagues of my age (32) getting Panic attacks, vomiting and taking anti depressants. 
The freshers and the juniors are literally lost. They are in self doubt. They feel they are not able to perform n work even after logging for 14 to 15 hours. But the truth is there is no guidance or mentorship for them. Wish the seniors were kind to them as they are kid and have just come out college.
Everyone thinks that they are stressed but theor colleagues are able to manage. Additionally ppl having milestone work for 15 hours. Too bad. 
Humanity will be soon lost and we will become working machine

Stressed life

I went and asked my lead to give some task, they delegated me to some other lead, the other lead said kal release hai dekhte hai kuch aaya toh de denge warna theek
Now here I am anxious about not getting a task, I don't know how to kill time, I get tensed of not having a task. Is it just me?
I don't understand when you get a task, again you are tensed about the deadlines, if you don't get a task you are tensed
This is a vicious cycle, how to break this?

Do you guys feel the same?

Hi 
Wanted an opinion on how do you all tackle the assignment bit when it comes to assignments as part of hiring processes. One, how regular or normal is it at senior positions ? And two, I feel that a lot of times they just ask you to do everything that is expected of the job. Eg: Create a marketing strategy after analyzing landscape and top 3 competitors. Add graphs etc.
I always have a concern of getting most out of you. Since its at round 1 they would be getting multiple such assignments, which means by design lpt of this work will be a waste and lots of inputs freely sourced.
How do you all handle it ? Can you push back ?
P.S: Am from business/ marketing aide of things and not sure of how it works for techies/ product.

Assignments as a part of interview process

Brand Marketing Manager

Currently working in a startup company 

Usually, I do my work in the given time, but due to some dependencies on me and after meetings on around 6-7PM some tasks are allocated to me that should be picked on the next day but due to "bhai plz Kar de" culture it is picked on the same which is not sometimes favorable and will cost around ending my day around 11 or 12 

Should this be embraced and how to tackle these things?

Should you embrace 'bhai - bhai' culture?

I used to take these requests and do them the same day out of good will. The ability to say no, comes with some experience. Give it 1 2 months you'll start saying no. It comes naturally and slowly
