Daily Watercooler (13th June)
Hey everyone, Thought of creating a daily post where we all can hang around and talk just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss. Think of this like the Watercooler at your office. Look forward to hearing from y'all :)

The hiring scene is so bad RN man, and why tf every company I get offer to seems toxic af as per the current and ex employees. So tough to find the right ones
Maybe the toxic companies are surviving because psychopaths running them are able to get the most out of employees :/
It’s a long standing pov I’ve had, and a sad one
@cristiano7 Maybe that’s the real pain, when you went to Manchester to Al Nasser lmao 😂

Tax season coming up and I’m dreading the process - as usual will be some last minute hash job and a big tax bill to pay 😒😒 any suggestions on how to manage better?
Filed my tax yesterday. 2nd time I'm filing tax as a working professional. And yes it's a pain in a**. You can try clearTax if you're OK paying some amount

Don’t your salaries already come with tax deductions? Why the dread towards tax filing?

Does anyone here vape?
Switched to it to get off of smoking
But feel like it’s increasingly making my focus worse at worse. Anybody else?
@AlphaGrindset Dude don’t. Popcorn lung is real.
Know of a friend who plays Sunday football. His Nic exposure increased a lot and he got hooked onto vapes as an alternative.
But it is just so addictive that if you look at it:
# of puffs * Nic Exposure
Both go up faster in a vape than cigarettes.
It’s loaded with Nic and as a result it reinforces a positive feedback loop which increases # of puffs.
Better stick with Nic Skin Patches and slowly reduce Nic exposure.

Graduating this year, I've done bba t3 college I'm looking into doing CFA but i would love to work in a product company, I don't know how I can get a role in that. I don't have experience and in this market there's no internship shortlisting. I feel like such a dumb clown. Anyway, how's Bengaluru? Like can I live there and figure out what to do next :) I'll have 2 months of runway 🤡🤡
I don't think it's a good idea to come to BLR, just for job hunting. I work at a FinTech and many back office roles require BBA I guess. I'll check on internal job board and update here. Hope it helps.
Meanwhile spend time on LinkedIn going through profile of folks who had similar education background and are having role that you currently aspire for. Cold message them without hesitation. 1 out of 10 folks would at least reply. Keep a comprehensive list of questions you have for them and ask for guidance.
I came across two posts today. One of a guy whose startup failed and is looking for employment and one of a girl who is looking for a job change. Guess which post had the most likes and engagement!!!
My sister is American and I am Indian, and we’re both into tech. Wondering if we can take advantage of this by setting up a software business of some kind where she would incorporate and run the company in the United States, while I could be her business partner in India and have most of the work done in India.
Anyone done something like this? Looking for a sanity check
It's definitely a helpful combo to have two cofounders based out of US and India
Especially if you can be the product builder and she can help with sales/partnerships
It's not the only thing that a SaaS company can succeed based on, but a really good base to build on
Can someone align me to their HR, I’m looking for a job in backend development , will attach resume, 1 year experience I have

Any expert swimmer here? I’m learning to swim freestyle. Getting out of breath too soon - feels like I’m not breathing right or don’t have stamina to go on. Any advice to improve?

No power cuts in my city as well. Can't reveal it's name as I'm the only person from this city working in my office and people will recognise me.

My company has delayed joining for freshers and they've been asked to join as interns for 6 months. That way the company will again get blacklisted from IITs
