Just call it stock market trading, why sugarcoat it

Intern

Its a business. Just  like a grocery store, or catering or hotel business, its a business of fiat currency. So, if she considers it and approaches it like a business, she will make her mark.  If she is going to treat it like a casino, she will incur loss and get back into the normal Hussle/routine. There is no need to convince her of anything. Sometimes one needs to fall and get hurt  to realize things.

My sister has been recently laid off. She is now spending a lot of time on Equity Trading, not F&O.
She believes she can outperform the market and should spend time here.

 My learning says Passive investment works well in the long run.

How should I convince her to spend her time more constructively - probably finding a new job, working on her business idea.

I guess she is trying to keep herself occupied.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I'm a 2022 graduate working in as an analyst in a service based analytics firm. For the past 1-1.5 we have been getting close to no work from our client (avg. actual work 2hr/day) but I have to fulfill 8 hours and stay late for meetings sometimes. I'm looking for suggestions on how to make better use of my time in office since switching right now is not easy.

No work coming to my team

Business Analyst

Hi everyone, need your suggestions on something.

I was recently talking to my mom, who's currently a housewife. She's been a working woman till her late 20s and then left her job because of my birth.

Later, when I reached my teens, she tried resuming her career but couldn't succeed becaus companies won't take someone with such a huge career break. She also tried starting something of her own but didn't work out because of the nature of the business. So she's been at home for a very long time.

Now, I am a working man myself and usually not at home because of tight work schedules. My mother gets a lot of time at home and has  been wanting to do something but is unable to get a direction. What are some of the things she can do to keep herself busy/ restart her career?

Some things that I could think of were:
1) can do some short term educational courses online
2) join some NGO, or some communities (pls note, she is not the type to go to kitty parties😅)
3) open a small at-home business (will appreciate ideas for this)

Also, is anyone aware of any part-time job portals for women with career breaks?

Please drop your suggestions below.

Need your suggestions

Data Scientist

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

So my sibling is about to graduate with a degree in Computer Science from a T2 college in a few months and wants to now do MS in the US because of three reasons: 

1. Low levels of violence against women(Sexual Assault) [IMPORTANT!!]
2. Want to do innovative work in the US instead of working on copycat products in India
3. Ambition of living in the US long term because of free-er culture

But my parents have flat out refused to fund the education or even help her with a loan due to regressive mentality (nahi jaana baahar, 2-3 saal kaam karo aur shaadi karo chup chaap)

She has accepted a job offer for now and will make 14L/year. What are her options? Should she drop the idea of MS abroad?

What to do if your parents refused to fund your education(MS/MBA) abroad?

Two options -  
  
 1. As I read, she will making 14L, save aggressively and self fund herself to MS. Places like UoCincinati or Texas univs aren’t that costly. She might able to score a diversity scholarship/waiver as well. 
  
 2. Start looking for Germany based unis. They have minimal uni fee, she just need to maintain the living expenses.  
  
 My 2 cents - Working for 2-3 years before MS will bring more clarity and increase the RoI of investments.

Currently working for Foreign Startup, under a Indian Engineering Manager.

Manager is incompetent, doesn't like disagreemets. If you disagree with him, then he goes to length to make your life diffult. Already seen few examples in the team. 

There are red flag all over the place. I'm not sure how upper management is not able to catch him. He does the politics, favoritism, etc...

List goes on and on. Any help would be appreciated.

P.S Don't want to leave the company in this market.

How to Deal with Toxic Manager

Software Engineer

One of my besties and her office/company is at the verge of closure. Similar to Dunzo’s fate this seed stage stage startup is at the brink of closure(funding dry up, no seen of profitability) and she is worried about her job and living in constant fear. She is moving her days week over week. 

Any suggestions on how to deal with this? She is not finding appropriate job opportunities too and there is no clarity given by founders too. 

Don’t ask the start up name and the founders themselves are active on Grapevine and won’t appreciate their so called employees to bitch about them in social platform. She is worried she might get terminated immediately for what left of days they have. She want to secure the job first.

But first she needs emotional and mental support. What better community than GV for seeking advise. Hence this post. Please help her 🤲

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hello everyone, this is Blue Panda. I recently joined Grapevine see lot of folks disappointed with current economic condition and also see lot of folks saying it will stay like this. 

Good news - I already have started seeing winter fading and we should be back to good times sooner.

Lets spread some positive energies around us. I see startups fixing their issues, VCs being more sane while deploying capital. India macro story already playing out. Govt doing better policy making etc. This has already starting to show in business returns when i analyse companies across listed corporates, SMEs and startups 
 

Though what will not change in the next bull run as well is the capitalist nature of our world wherein maximising equity return is the key goal of most leaders. I get a chance to spend time with folks who have accumulated massive wealth and none of them have done it through their regular pay cheques but equity. If you are ambitious want to create wealth make sure you get sweat equity commensurate to efforts you putting in. Thats the best way to grow! 

Few options below
- Join a startup negotiate a good ESOP deal
- Startup yourself and be the founder
- Start a side hustle. Equity trading, Insurance distribution, blog subscription/influencer, goods trading, educational content etc depending upon your past strength
- Upskill yourself earn more salary and start taking more equity position in small cap companies (consult an expert and dont do it randomly) 

You can follow me for regular dose of positivity. Thanks :)

Summer is coming!

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

My wife will be relocating out of India soon and this unfortunately means she would need to resign her current position as a Software Engineer (she has about 4 YoE). 

We were discussing next steps (higher education, job search etc) and here are some takeaways:

- She is open to pursuing a Masters although we both think this is a time + money sink
- not too keen on programming roles, she likes to be in tech but perhaps use this opportunity to pivot to Product management, Biz analyst or Program management


Considering this sabbatical will last around 6 months, how should we orient towards the other end of the sabbatical and set ourselves up for success?

Suggest tips to spend a sabbatical.

Engineering Manager

Welcome to Consulting's Private Community

I am a school passed out student. I want to learn mathematics as I want to make a career out of it (because I love mathematics and want to pursue a higher research level degree). Although at the same time my family is in a financial crisis from over a decade now and I know that the upcoming years are going to be more horrific if money does not gets pumped in! So for that reason I am on a drop since I have passed out (ITS MORE THAN A YEAR NOW) and has been learning trading and stock markets. However, my family keeps pushing me to pursue a career so as to be risk free in future (even if they understand that I am doing these things for them they want me to do things that will make me stand upon my feet) and also their primary sentiment is to drop this idea of markets and all (normal Indian family's behavior). Now since last few days, I have been highly tensed and deeply worried about the carrier I made. I am confused whether to drop the stock market practice and start the entrance preparation or to take things simultaneously. But I dont know the ways by which I can tackle all these stuffs going in my mind!

How can anyone manage things which are most important for life simultaneously?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey folks. 
I am a PM with 1 YOE. 

I make a lot of unforced errors and have been in bad situations because of poor communication too. Although, I try my best to communicate everything and anything. The founder just hear me speak and not to hear specifically. 

I am gradually feeling, that maybe I am not good enough to survive in this role. 

On the other hand, I am pretty much interested in finance. Am above average in hard skills named as Financial Modelling, Financial Statement Analysis, Deal Structuring and Valuation Techniques. I read pre IPO papers to understand more about industries and sectors. Do financial modelling for the same companies to check if I am on the right track or not. 

How can I switch to a finance role maybe?  Or what other fields should I explore to get out of this. I have graduation in BTech. 

P. S. - Need some serious help. Thanks in advance.

[THREAD] Thinking to Switch from PM role

Hello everyone,I am constantly thinking about my situation and getting confused. I have 3 sisters and 1 brother (including myself). I currently have a job in sales, earning 40k, and my father also works, earning 25k. We belong to a rural area. In our community, it’s common for everyone to get married at the age of 25. I am 25, and my sister is 23. Our relatives are pressuring us to arrange my sister's marriage, but I want her to continue her studies and pursue a good career before getting married.My sister wants to take admission in an MCA program this year, which might delay her marriage by around 5 years. I’m struggling with the decision of whether to prioritize her education or go along with the pressure to arrange her marriage. This decision is heavily dependent on me.Please help me decide between my sister's education or her marriage.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Should I work at well-named startups or companies to work at (eg: CRED, Infosys, etc) with less pay?

Or Should I work at unknown startups or companies (eg: early-stage startups or local companies) with higher pay? (x2 the salary here).

Note: For the above, the experience & designation are the same.

The question is related to future work prospects does working at we'll name brands help me get higher pay in the future?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Need help from you guys. I earn a decent amount of money without having to spend much time.
Now I wish to spend my spare time (say 6 to 8 hrs in a day) to do something fruitful and also earn an extra income. I want to know what is the recent trend, Affiliate marketing, Streaming, ChapGPT, Stock markets. I don't mind spending 2-3 years without any income, but I want to build something that is scalable.
PS - I am from a finance background and work in the stock markets. So publishing research reports on companies is something that comes natural to me. What is the TAM for this. Would you be willing to pay Rs. 5000 for an annual subscription if I publish a report on 12 or 24 small / mid caps in a year. Or maybe IPO research.

Hey all,

I am a recent MBA passout from one of the top 6 IIMs. After working for an year at a big ecommerce company, I wanted to work on more challenging problems and joined a startup at ideation stage as a PM. Its been a couple of months and now I’m not fully sure about the direction this startup is going towards. It will be a few more months before we exhaust funds and I doubt we will be able to raise more funds. Because of these thoughts, I’m unable to focus on current work as well and feeling anxious all the time. 

Any suggestions on what I can do?

Not sure what to do

So I'm a Marketing & Growth Guy with 7 years of experience (Expertise - Performance Marketing) and currently working for Company abroad as a Growth Lead for one of their projects. I get 2.5 Lacs (In Hand) every month as a salary.

Now the problem is, they hired me last year April. And product isn't ready till now. Whenever it is about to be ready, there's a new pivot that comes across and I go completely free. I've done only 2-3 mini campaigns. 

Also, its WFH so I've plenty of free time. And I'm wasting it by sleeping in the afternoon. It's like I'm getting free salary without doing anything. Recently I've started actively swing trading in Stock Market and have got 2 small freelancing projects - Just to keep myself busy.

With this, I'm obviously not learning anything at work and also, there's a sense of insecurity that I'll be laid off anytime. 

What should I do? Leave it? Or continue my guilty pleasure? My age is 29 and I would want to move towards stability.

Kare toh Kare kya? Resign or Continue?

Thanks for loving Part 1 of my RLE.
https://share.gvine.app/1phkz5E232ikFMwH8

I am loving this phase of my life. Wlb is good.

Eating organic food, drinking clean water 💦 and breathing clean air 🫁.

More time for family and society.
Getting good sleep with deep sleep more than 2h consistently. No regional holiganism. Life ain't kinda hullabaloo which used to be case in metro.

Saving+investing 100% of my salary (thanks to my investments in last 7-8y)

I want to sustain this and live like this for rest of my life.

I am in late 20s and sitting on total 93L savings.

It will cross 8d soon but am confused on how to go through sustainability. 

Please help me navigate.

1. I don't want to do job. 
Startup or Meaningful work is my calling. In Covid i worked for multiple startups and helped them in many ways. MVP to PMF, am good at marketing, sales, HR and tech. Planning to join a remote startup or start my own. But it should be meaningful startup not just a bigger fool game.

2. I Can do agriculture side by side as I have around 15acres of land. It can give output = Median package of tier 1 mba. Have ideas like growing stevia, alovera and other useful stuff instead of wheat n rice like my old generation. Then it will be huge but again have to convince father. Startups like dehaat are helping in this as well.

3. Get a good franchise in nearby city like sleepwell, Pizza Hut, kfc or tamo and get regular returns.

4. Put all money in FD and get 50k/m return and live a happy life. (50k is more than enough for family of 5 where I live currently)

5. I love reading, blogging, debating, quizzing on economics, geopolitics, spirituality, semiconductor, politics and tech. Can build an online business around this on YouTube and internet.


Please guide me how to reach to correct idea and navigate properly with minimal risk.

Thanks in advance and only serious people reply.

If someone is on same boat ⛵ then do DM.
