Coincidence?

Coincidence?- Grapevine

Coincidence? I think not

Operations Manager

Was watching this guy predict bad things after lunar eclipse (that happened last week)

Exactly day after that, train derail, blast in Kerala, people burn NCP office etc (and few upsets in personal life too)

The coincidence was too uncanny

He also mentioned 3 months of extreme warfare - Middle East already burning, US and Afghanistan will also get involved.
US is still obvious, Afg is new. This is interesting to see unfold

i'm not superstitious but this is scary

• Anonymous hence feel less judged than in real life. Of course, unless some of you choose to be (very) vocal about your feelings. People send love over DM and hate in comments – the world we live in :)

• Crazy coincidences we might not know. Like, you could be standing in line at the mall next to someone you've already spoken to in DMs on GV, and neither of you would have a clue! Or maybe you're connected on LinkedIn with the person, but completely oblivious to it.

• The best part? No discrimination!
On caste, religion, name, place, animal, thing

• I can speak my mind without fear. The number of rants I have on this platform, if they were anywhere else (social media or real life), I would lose friends and followers in an instant (or landed up in lock up)


P.S. I wanted a person/username content search option, like being able to visit @salt 's awesome threads. But I guess it's for the better. Scrolling through a year of my posts, I see I'm not the same person I was last year.

P.P.S. A nagging feeling says I'll eventually run into community guideline trouble, despite my best intentions.




Part 2 in the evening

Hey grapevine folks,

I hope you all are enjoying your Saturday.

I hope everyone one of you here once in your life have always thought about karma.

Ki if you are doing good deeds , being good to others will result in good karma and you will reap its benefits in future and vice-versa.

But is the above philosophy is valid in today's time in kaliyuga where the money and power rules.

People with connections are creating havoc over normal people.

Shouldn't we now think instead of making our karma good let's do what it takes us to be successful by hook or by crook?

What are your views? And if you have any personal experience please do share it.

Is Karma Real?

Warning: spoilers. Don’t read beyond this if you still want to see the show. 

Does any one finds the ending low key realistic when the only two general category male candidates in the core group show is focused on were not selected, while others were. (There is a female quota at IITs too afaik). They did not highlight this, but seems to be written this way intentionally.

I know the 2nd question is more about college and job opportunities, but still it feels really scary and uncertain everywhere now.

Chinese companies / apps have not been allowed to operate in India, now with TikTok buying 75% in Tokopedia (not 75% of gojek), what do you think will be fate on Tokopedia's India offices?
Would Tiktok keep Tokopedia's India office keep it untouched
Or
Expand Tokopedia's India office and get some of atiktok work also her
Or
Over medium term close India office as Indian government doesn't likes Chinese apps / companies.

TikTok buys 75% stake in Tokopedia

I have been a little caught up with numerous things in my life lately and have finally found some free time to open up myself to new experiences. 

I had a wishlist of shows and movies that I wanted to watch but as soon as I start watching them, I get bored and feel like turning it off. 

No, its not the content
No, its not the genre
No, its not the actors
No, its not the taste either

This is pretty ironic as considering the fact that I have spent a fair share of my youth chasing academics and career, my heart had always craved for life experiences. I had to let go of the woman I loved simply because I was too focussed on my JEE. I wont be able to forgive myself for that EVER. It almost felt like I had lost a limb, without which , I would be rendered disfunctional. Thats a separate story tho.

Nothing excites me (yep nothing)
Nothing amuses me 
Nothing feels lively

I have no clue where my life is headed

I understand that as we age, our triggers of happiness change. I have put concious efforts into knowing what those new triggers are. But I cant find any plausible sources of happiness.

I am performing pretty well with my career.
Even got a double digit hike.
But didnt feel that kick of joy.

Have I approached a dead end?

Losing Interest In New Things

Data engineer

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I once interviewed for an internship at this startup that made stuff for pets. I had researched the company inside and out.

I wore this funky shirt with a bird pattern to fit in 'context'. 
Turns out, the CEO was wearing the exact. same. shirt. 
We both just froze for a second, then she started laughing and said, "Okay, you've got the right vibe for this place!"

Weirdly enough, accidentally matching outfits with the boss helped me get the internship. 
I guess sometimes the most awkward moments can actually work in your favour!

Do you have funny/weird internship stories?

Hey fellow grapevine friends, let me share a hilarious tale of my recent job interview rollercoaster ride! So, picture this: I chanced upon interviewing for one those new age alternative fintech firms, feeling like a boss, acing every interview level with flying colors. The interviewers were practically showering me with positive vibes about the role and the company. I was on cloud nine!

But hold on to your seats, folks, because things took an unexpected turn. After the initial warm reception, it suddenly went colder than an iceberg. I waited eagerly for responses from the TA team, but all I got was radio silence. Not even a peep. It was like they vanished into thin air!

Now, I wasn't keen on pestering the hiring manager, but desperation got the best of me. I decided to shoot them a message, hoping for some answers. And guess what? They hit me with the most mind-boggling news ever – a hiring freeze! Can you believe it? Talk about bad timing, right? I must have brought some serious jinx along with me.

As if that wasn't enough, I then discovered something straight out of a conspiracy movie. I noticed that the TA team's LinkedIn profiles had that same little green circle, indicating they were open to work.. But wait, there's more! A bunch of ex-employees and other members of the team also had that eerie green circle. What on earth was happening here? Are they secretly communicating in some LinkedIn language that mere mortals like us don't understand?

Oh well, my friends, the job hunt can be a wild and wacky adventure, full of unexpected twists and turns. But fear not, for I am armed with resilience and a great sense of humor! So, with popcorn in one hand and my resume in the other, I shall continue my quest to conquer the job market. While also finding the anomalies of the start up world. Here's to embracing the unpredictability and staying positive on this crazy journey! Cheers to the next chapter of my job hunt! 🍿🚀
