No questions, just a piece of advice, brother to brother. If you are the smartest person in the group, you are in the wrong group. If you are already chaning groups and hanging out with ppl better than you, congratulations you are on the right path🤝🏻

Thanks for the advice! I realised this around 5 years back and made conscious efforts to do so. You are right, and I will continue to look for people better than me!

Congratulations on your great pace of career growth!  
  
 A piece of advice - the way you worded your post could rub some people off the wrong way. They might perceive it to be yet another braggy post - and rightfully so since Grapevine is full of people bragging. If your intentions are good, don't be disheartened and keep helping out. 
  
 Welcome to Grapevine :)

Thank you! And for the advice! I wanted to say that I am nothing special and only because my career (which again isn't 100% in my hands) growth is why people come to me for advice - but I also knew the wording wasn't great. Kind of did this on purpose.. but nice to see people treating this sensitively.

How do you reckon your career is moving faster than your peers

They are struggling to find offers and I was lucky and hardworking enough to land multiple above market rate offers. My degree was very niche and no company is looking to hire us. Compared to others who have gotten hired on pure merit, my position, package and responsibilities are much higher than my peers. I don't approach the people who come to me for advice, they come to me. I understand the tone here is very braggy but I really don't know how else to say this. Being anonymous helps!

I have recently stepped out of the intern/fresher phase of my career and often give advice to friends, only because my career is moving at a much faster pace than my peers. I chalk it down to soft ...

I have recently stepped out of the intern/fresher phase of my career and often give advice to friends, only because my career is moving at a much faster pace than my peers. I chalk it down to soft skills.

Post any queries / doubts / questions, I'll answer them. (There are no dumb questions, but I may respond with dumb answers😊)

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hey everyone. 

Thought I could do an AMA. A bit about me - have 4 years of work experience and graduated from a non engineering college. Was at a startup before (from Series B to Series D) before becoming a VC

Personally look at consumer and B2B investments here 

Happy to answer any questions around life as a junior VC, startup ecosystem, career growth etc.

AMA: I work at a large VC Fund focusing on early stage investments

This is the biggest problem with VC ecosystem 4 yoe kids taking calls on experienced, hardworking founders. Dude first learn the game then invest , judge people playing the game. VCs know nothing about how to run startups. Unless they have been entrepreneurs themselves. IMO It's a colossal waste of talent to become a VC for young PPL.

Investment Associate

Why AMA?-
New to GV. I see potential here; trying to gauge audience and perhaps I can talk about a thing or two; can definitely learn from ya’al otherwise.

Primer Qs (from some successful AMAs outside of GV)-
What tech has better future?
Is Ai going to kill our jobs?
How to increase Tc 5x, 10x, 20x+?
Startups vs big corps?

Background, Tc stuff-
Decade+ yoe
Started with <10Lpa. Crossed >10Lpm.
Life is fun and no amount of money is enough.
I’ve seen it firsthand that the investments and luxuries grow at far bigger rate than your comp, Can’t complain though.

A Staff engineer :: AMA

Hey folks, I'm a newbie in corporate town, currently in a bit slow paced work environment at an international bank, in their analytics team. I'm right out of IIT Bombay, and this was my college placement, the work culture and work life balance is really good, BUT I'm just 22 and I want a big learning curve. And ofcourse the pay is average (below avg but median as per IITB placements go).
I need advice from who've been in town on how do I not overthink and plan out stuff for a better learning experience and $$ ofcourse.

Will entertain only serious questions that respect anonymity. I don’t mind humor, but trolling is strict no no.

Conducted one AMA session last week & was overwhelmed by both number & positive feedback. I might choose to skip any question repeated from last time.

Some things about me
- I love to code & go beyond coding
- Managed a team of around 20 people before
- I love mentoring people
- Presently overseeing the architecture and lifecycle of a suite of products

Don’t mind me giving you some useful gyan 😀

Over the past couple of weeks that I have been on GV, seeing far too many career advice asks, especially from recent or near future graduates. Decisions seem to be at the crossroads all the time.

My view on career shaping, after wading through the career waters for as long as I have:

A Career is Lived Forward but Understood Backwards.

Don't overthink your current situation(s), be a consistent learner and grab the breaks & opportunities that you get. 

Almost all successes that you see around you are "Right place, Right time".  Luck plays an inordinate role in your successes, but you need create your luck - create the environment and momentum for things to come your way.
