Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Hello people, 

Hope the week has been going alright. 

Welcome to the watercooler: the place for any conversations that feel a bit small to create a dedicated post. Manager acting weird today? Ended up being really late to a meeting and got bad looks? Need movie recommendations? This is probably the place for it. 

Look forward to hearing from you all :) 

- The Unpaid Intern (I am actually paid though)

Daily Watercooler - 11th October

Intern

"I recently joined a startup a few days ago, but now I'm feeling very underconfident. This is my first internship, and I feel like I don't know anything. I'm not able to follow anything, and I can't even set up and run things perfectly. I'm just lost. I sit on my chair from morning to evening, even at night, but nothing productive is coming out. The task which is given to me, I'm only able to do it halfway or can't even start.

Having self doubts

Meta's incoming layoffs. Brutal!

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Too much negativity everywhere. I just want to find ppl who genuinely like what they are doing. If you are one, what do you do and what makes you happy?

is there someone who actually...LOVES their job?

Am too old to love my job. Relaized am just  a cog in the wheel. I work for money. When i hear the mgmt team talk nonsense about purpose and adding value, i happily smile to his face and laugh in my mind.  
 Am here for the money.  The company can fuck itself.

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

Huge career gamble paid off
