I just had a thought it would be no other than the swagger bhaiya if the context was linkedin and some PM gyaan. He has started a new cult via his cohort join kro PM bano yojna. Desh ka PM isi cohort se ayega

hahaha 🤣 ... he has completely changed the definition of pm .. product manager se prime minister tak 😜

Product Manager

Bhaiya ji - Aajkal likes nahi aa rahey posts par 🥴... wo layoffs wala post bhi 110 times daal chuka hu🫣

how do i get more and more likes from gullible students and aspiring pms? 

Oh! yeah let me create an emotional story about some fictional product manager who degraded mere deshwasi PMs. My deshwasi pms would get emotional and like and share the post. And I become their protector 😁

hehehe, got the likes .... they fall for such things everytime 😄😄

Rant. Chappri Interns and mid af SDEs on LinkedIn have destroyed the entire point of the platform. Every Tier 1 graduate working at Microsoft or Walmart posts their own pic in some Manali hillstation and give 400 lines of unsolicited gyaan, which virgin btech 2nd year students cant help but drool at.

I get it bro/sis, you mugged up 800 LC mediums and Microsoft came to your BITS campus and picked you up because you solved a system design question in the interview which scales infinitely for infinite users. No, i dont want to enroll is PrepCracker's System Design Cohort for just Rs 69,999 and replace Hotstar's CTO.

Folks like Arpit Bhayani and Addy Osmani are the only reason I open linkedin to actually get some ground level reality of how to be a better SWE, but all i see is bhaiyya didi telling me why my resume is not getting selected because i didnt pay Rs. 1,999 for their Topmate Resume Review session.

Due to them Twitter is full of 2nd year dimwits who think swe is the only path to liberation and their bhaiyya didi will be their guiding angel. They won't. They'll turn out just like your average 3.5lpa employee at WITCH. The only way to become a good swe is figure shit out yourself and do what you love. Its that simple. Im from a shit tier 3 college. I've cracked FAANG and that too with 42 lc solved. What DSA bro?

Thankyou to the Grapevine team for building a good platform where genuine watercooler discussions take place. Deleted LinkedIn for good until i get my sanity back.

LinkedIn Gyaanis should be banned

Middle class people are not wrong in thinking that swe is a path to their liberation. I could only afford to travel to these exotic places, take up (unnecessary) hobbies, pursue gym and eat good after earning those fat paychecks because of these overvalued startups paying me

I know all social media platforms want more engagement anyhow, but some should take care of such mentally agonizing posts via their policies and/or algorithms.

Software Test - QA

Recently gave an interview at Jupiter Money for Senior PM role: 

1. There is an exploratory call to judge the fit - experience, skill and culture wise. 

2. I was told there will be 3-4 rounds of interview and after that they will decide based on cumulative feedback of all the rounds 

3. My first 2 rounds were scheduled - product sense and product strategy rounds. 

4. First, The round got scheduled thrice. 

5. I finally did my product sense round and to me it was one of the the best case study interview I gave. To the proof I also have complete documentation of the live case study I solved and also showed that to few senior product leaders in the industry. They also validated that that it was really well solved. 

6. Next day I was told my round didn’t go as well and they are even cancelling the other rounds. There was no precise feedback which is anyway not expected. I communicated that according to the process I was told that all the rounds would happen and then a decision would be taken. 

7. They ridiculed that. To me it was the case of strong personal bias where interviewer preferred other candidates because of his alumni or for other reasons or strongly did not like me. To avoid personal biases usually organisations do parallel rounds at senior level and take a decision based on cumulative feedback. 

In hindsight, it’s good it didn’t happen. Better to join a merit based organisation then biased and politics led.

Interview Experience at Jupiter Money

Don’t even think about it. The product team is in a really bad place, Rathi was fired, the people he hired after moving in to make his mark have moved on including dunzo pari. Good riddance I would say. Moreover, it’s follow the leadership train in Jupiter so don’t even think about going there at least for a couple of years.

Another day, another fake story. 🤐

Is this true Bangalore folks?

No, it's bullshit and highly exaggerated. And who the fuck earns 100 lpa?

Software Developer

Investment Associate

At 27 (F), I was thriving as a Software Development Engineer at an elite startup, excelling in my work. Within eight months, my hard work paid off with a raise and multiple bonuses. A significant part of my success was due to my manager—more than just a boss, he was my mentor, guide, and sometimes, harshest critic. He was brilliant, fit, and unmarried, with a temper that could be intimidating, but his support was unwavering.

Over time, our relationship deepened. We spent more time together outside of work, and I eventually convinced myself that love was worth more than professional boundaries and I started dating him. As we grew closer, my performance began to slip, but I was too wrapped up in the romance.

One evening, during a quiet walk, he proposed, asking if I wanted to marry him. I said yes without hesitation. But as we returned, he informed me that due to company policy, I would have to resign. Blinded by love, I agreed and submitted my notice the next day, choosing love over my career.

What followed was a nightmare. After I left, he disappeared—no calls, no messages. I was lost and heartbroken, having given up my job for him. Then, the truth surfaced: I had been a low performer, and layoffs were imminent. My manager had exploited my emotions, possibly securing a bonus by manipulating me into leaving. The man I thought I loved had used me for his gain, leaving me devastated and disillusioned.

I loved my manager, but he ended up getting me laid-off!

It is what it is

There is a really cute guy on my floor, he wears the same hoodie everyday! He sat opposite my lunch desk other day. Couldn't stop staring!🫠

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Do anyone else think PMs aren't very good at the things they are supposed to do.
It is evident from failing products across industry.
Any views??

Are PMs even revelant?

Bhaiya in Selling mode, aspirants don’t fall for such traps!

Recently I was talking to a girl who was working a startup in BLR. She left the startup with some horrendous experiences. This startup was working from a startup hostel in BLR. Things she told me shook me. She was dating the founder.

So this founder who claims to be on his 2nd startup dates his own employees and then blackmails them.
The average age of his employees is 24. All these girls that he dates are not above 23/24

Apparently this guy has 2 court cases against him. One for fraud and one for a rape case. Both of them are not easily found online. He uses VC money to keep in under the hood.

The fraud case is about his first startup which was a stolen idea apparently. 

This guy’s whole life is fake.
He claims to be an IIT Madras dropout, but he's from some local college. 

There are rumours that one of the girls he dated tried to kill herself because he allegedly filmed them.

He also does not pay salaries for months to his employees but compensates by giving them expensive gifts.

He claims his parents are IAS officers but we checked and they are not. 

His last startup was around around AUTH and current one is around Fintech

Girls and boys stay away from working with such shady startups.

Tinder Swindler of BLR

Interesting, the whole story is about unknown man with unknown startup. Thanks for such an insightful post.

Founder

Bhaiya picked a viral UPSC screenshot and built a story around that 🤪 ( Humko toh kya hi pata chalega ). 

Be very careful of such frauds.

Business Development Manager

Unacademy has just laid off the entire team of NextLevel and will be shutting the business. 

It is interesting to note that Relevel underwent a major pivot after failure and was rebranded to NextLevel. Gaurav apparently blindly wrote how this product will take on LinkedIn and make CV's redundant. 

Guess another unacademy experiment has failed but several employees are facing the brunt of the CEO's immature experimental nature.
