Whoops

I am reading a book, and the "Yahoo!" browser name was written in a sentence. I read it in my head along with the exclamation, but in tarzan's voice.

Left me chuckling. 😂

Does this happen to you too - reading punctuations in your head, the same way they are said aloud?

Currently seeing every cricket player and tech bros wearing that, 
I am also very much into fitness but doesn’t want another screen so considering whoop. 

If anyone of you have bought it, could you share your experience?

Is whoop band worth it?

Another one bites the dust. Alpha Wave is too big, and this is fucked up for the ecosystem. They were really one of the heavy weights. Another big wallet with growth funding ability, just gone...

Alpha Wave Global to stop startup investments in India 🚨

They have big pockets but very cunning and power hungry people. They promote cut-throat ruthlessness. They are being smart now and backing out early so that later they can wash off their hands form being one of the primary players to have destroyed the startup ecosystem. The OG falcon had at least little bit of honesty, business savvyness and heart. From the time it became alpha wave and some terrible incompetent people took up important roles, it has been a downhill.  
  
 Someone from alpha -  be the whistleblower. But unlikely there would be anyone who has the guts to speak up. Their leaders have ensured to hire only weak yes-people.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

This is a personal win post.

I'm a '23 grad from top IIT but from non circuital branch. I did my summer internship in a payments MNC as a Quality Engineer and received PPO, but I rejected it since I didn't want to continue in testing. This was when recession was just starting. The money was decent in PPO, but I felt I could get more in a dev role in placements.

When placements came, I interviewed with few big companies, but unfortunately got rejected at some stage. Finally I got placed at Cogoport (yes that same cursed company), with a higher CTC but same base. I was initially happy with it, but as I talked with seniors I came to know about the horrors there, and a month before my joining I decided to take the jump and didn't join. My parents weren't supportive of the decision and I had to fight with them.

I was trying offcampus for a couple of months with a very specific strategy, I got good response but none of them converted to an offer. I finally joined a seed stage startup through my friend as an intern for 3 months. I struggled a lot initially but eventually put in the efforts and learnt and contributed well. The work, culture and people are great here.

Two months after I joined the startup, I got to know that almost half of the new joiners were laid off from Cogoport. And today is my first official day as a full time employee at the same startup I joined as an intern. The base is also the same as the other 2 offers, although CTC decreased but I have immense learning and responsibilities here and I'm sure I'll grow faster than my counterparts in big companies.

Thanks for hearing me out. Have a great end to the year folks

What a time to be alive, what a drama

Seems like Ultrahuman had started focusing on the US market (because India is saturated after a point). Oura must've sued them to limit competition, and because a lot of things were too similar. Anyone knows more here?
