Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi everyone,

 I have been working in this company as a junior software developer for more than 8 months. This is my second company, and I had a probation period after joining this one. Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with my manager because he was a fan of micromanagement. He didn't like anything I did and said that I was worthless, didn't know anything, and was stupid. He didn't have any trust in me, and I faced this day-to-day in office life. As a result, I lost my confidence, developed anxiety and depression, and even thought about suicide about a month ago. I am currently going to a therapist every week for my depression and anxiety.

I worked really hard and even worked overtime and some weekends during my probation period. However, after 6 months, during my review, my manager said that I didn't work on anything and extended my probation to 3 months. I started my career 2 years ago, and I wonder if this is normal in  IT career.

I am looking for a job change right now, but I always get the question from most of the HR "why do you move too early?" and I don't know how to answer this question.

Please help, guys.

Background: I'm about to start my corporate journey and one of the advices I recieved was 
"Don't take things personally, and treat most feedback as a chance to improve and not resent!" 

What would you advice your younger self, about to step out in the corporate world?

What is that one piece of advice you’d give your younger self or someone who’s starting off now after working for a few years. 

Mine would be that despite the hunger to prove yourself always take the time off to enjoy your success both personally and with people close to you. 

Time is something you’ll never get back.

What is the best advice you were given that you did not follow and now regret not obeying?

Everything makes sense in retrospect. Sometimes we wish we took the advice that was given to us but fail to comprehend it. I'll start - money doesn't equal happiness;sadly. It'll get you to 70% faux happiness. But it's the 30% remaining percent that counts.

I recently learned how to cook properly at 35, and it's been a game-changer. I'm saving money, eating healthier, and actually enjoying my meals. It got me thinking about other skills I wish I'd picked up sooner. 

What's a skill you wish you had learned earlier in life? Something that's made a significant difference in your day-to-day living or overall happiness?

What life-changing skill do you wish you'd learned earlier?

Advices for someone who is just starting their tech journey

I recently laid off, sometime ago. I was privileged enough so didn't really complained about it. But what i realised is:

"Everyone should get laid off once in a lifetime." Reason being you stop being emotional about your job. Some people have a habit to treat job as a the only purpose their life has. Basically job gives them the validation which they never received from anyone.  
Also you realize the hard truth that you are just a number. "Resource" as they aptly call you.

You realize your life has many dimensions than just serving someone. 

Quite an experience i would say, Kuch din to guzariyen lay offs mein!

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Man's sitting on a distribution of 2.4M on Insta. Recently heard Tanmay Bhat and Nikhil Kamath appreciate his work/journey, so there might just be something about what he's done that works.

Asking purely - and purely - from his content's perspective. Are his courses worth it? If not, and if I'm to learn about personal finances, taxes, investing, etc., where else can I start?

Finance With Sharan - worth it?

Build 3 months expenses in liquid fund as emergency funds 
 Put rest in index till you reach 1cr. Buy slightly more when market crashes  
 Optional step- start experimenting with direct stocks (start at 1 % portfolio value to see if you have a knack for it) 
  
 Thank you. Please pay me Rs 5 for this advanced financial course.

If I had gotten this advice during my undergrad, I would have done things very differently. 
Maybe for most of us it might feel a little out of touch but it tells you the realest advice.

Advice from OpenAI Co-Founder

Whatever we say is coming from our experience, how we have observed this world. The advice we give is sprouting from that base, which will have a tinge of who we are. Sometimes the advice we give others might be applicable for us too.

The best advice for your life is revealed! Pause. Read the advice you gave someone. That's the best you can give yourself (maybe, to some extent)

Grapeviners, can you, with all honesty convince a non-believer like me into getting married and having children. If you do, my parents will send a million blessings your way. 

About me: 
- Female, 28
- mostly introverted, very selectively extroverted
- single and normally attractive
- Jinxed when it comes to relationships
- Financially independent, Net worth: 1 cr
- not bragging, but I'm decently intellectual and I can have smart conversations

My reason to resist marriage is: I'm scared it won't work out and will cause bigger problems than being single. Have seen too many unhappy marriages in family and friends. Dating scenes in recent times have only made things even more unimpressive.

Convince me to get married

After a few failed relationships, I had an arranged marriage (at that time, it was just to fulfill what my parents wanted). She was a very conventional girl,, never had any relationship before. I was scared going into the marriage too. 
  
 5 years later, she is the best thing that has happened to me. She helped me explore things I never would have. She gave my life a different perspective. 
  
 I'm not saying just because it happened to me, it could happen to you too. I'm saying unless you take the leap you'll never know what you're missing out on.

What’s the most important career advice you’ve ever received? It could be anything, an advice from your colleague, a lesson you learnt the hard way, or a piece of wisdom that changed your perspective! 🌟🌟

1. Work hard in your job. Don't complain and waste time. We know everyone is replaceable, but work so damn hard that if at all you decide to resign and switch sometime, it should come as a shell shocker to them.  
 Build a program/product/team from scratch, own it end to end so much that they'll never find anyone close to you who can work with the same efficiency. 
 You'll obviously take your learnings and apply them later on in your next job, but 
 You'll also earn the respect of all your colleagues which might be needed in your future corporate journey. 
 2. Don't chase money early on in your career unless you actually**need** it. Focus on building relationships, knowledge, learning to code (it helps) and earning respect of your colleagues wherever you go. 
 3. Don't get into smoking due to peer pressure. AVOID IT.
