Does this any make sense or am I missing something?

I have all the respect for those who start their own business. But frankly that kinda advice is just so tone deaf and lazy when you are job hunting. For starters business is not meant for everyone, you need to have an aptitude for it. More than that you need to have an ecosystem in place. Business means having to bear losses, running after clients for pending payments, dealing with crazy tax laws and regulations. Unless you are equipped to handle all this, you cant survive. There is a reason certain communities in India dominate business. And those who quote Steve Jobs, Bill Gates at the drop of a hat, don't know that these guys had a good support system in place that pushed them. But basically I hate the way people aspiring for a regular salaried job or those having one are looked down upon. This was especially so during the startup boom. Why don't people get it that many just want a regular salaried job? And those businessmen, entrepreneurs, startup founders still need the regular salaried folks, corporate drones to run their companies. Most just want a regular job, work for a fixed amount of time, go home and relax. Lack of ambition? Yes. Is that a bad thing? No not really.

I am a '21 graduate from a Tier 1 college (old IIT) and have had short stints as product manager at a couple of startups. About a year back, I decided to startup but after a few months, realized that startup idea wasn't worth pursuing. Researched around a few startup ideas and finally landed upon a good one in D2C space. But the problem is financing. I don't have much saving and friends / family network wouldn't be able to finance this. I really want to pursue this idea but finance is becoming a hindrance. So started looking for job opportunities about 3 months back. I have been exploring work opportunities in product / founder office / EIR roles or other generalist role. Job hunt process has been frustrating to say the least. Getting very few calls. In most cases, people are ghosting after couple of rounds of interview or assignment. In some cases, after getting through 2-3 rounds, I got to know that opening has been closed temporarily. Most HRs don't even have the decency to give feedback. I don't intend to work in job for long anyway. As soon as I have the job, I plan to start working on my business idea and quit as soon as I have enough financial leeway. How should I go about job hunt process? I have been trying to connect with folks on LinkedIn in whose company job openings are there. Apart from this, I have been connecting with founders from recently funded startups. Naukri / Instahyre and IIM Jobs are other portals I have been looking on. Anything I should do differently here? Looking forward to hearing your suggestions / experience.

I am thinking of leaving my current job and focus on myself, getting to know myself better etc. Currently I have enough money saved for my expenses for next 6-8 months. Everyone I have asked about this say don't leave your job if you don't have another lined up, in this tech winter. I understand their view point. It aligns with what my parents think as well. Is there anyone who has had done this in the past? Do you recommend this route? Are the consequences far too severe? Does anyone have a different opinion from one stated above?

So basically like every time I see a job vacancy I do apply for it.. But I'm not sure why I never get any calls back Or mails and these days I only see vacancies where they want only experienced people like more than 5 or 10.. I mean...where am I going wrong in this job hunt... I'm having 2 yrs of exp where I have wasted 1 yr being in bench so I could say I didn't get a lot of insight for my yrs of exp.... It sucks tho.... 😢 where should I start now what should I do? Completely blank...

Hey folks! I work in analytics, it's been about 5 years working I had a very good learning time at Zomato, learnt a lot of things and then moved to an early stage startup I'm kind of feeling very dissatisfied at work, this time I have a really good idea worth working. I joined a new company and have built a lot of things ground up here, but am i being too hasty in leaving my job? Should I be prepared to be jobless for a long time if I ever consider corporate again? Because after my first job, i have mostly just worked for a year at every company. And along with my notice period it will be 2 months at my current organisation

Hi, I am a 1.5 YOE backend Dev at an mnc. I have been laid off due to a pf overlap of 1 month. As my previous employer didn't process my resignation and put my doe of jan 23 one month after i joined my current company. I had already informed my current company at the time of joining that my previous company is processing the resignation and taking time and have not filled doe yet. They agreed to it and said they have no problem. Now, after 1.5 years of working in the company i suddenly got called one week ago in an hr meeting to explain about this situation. i gave them the relevant documents and our mail conversation where they said they have no problem. Yesterday i got laid off on the basis that there was a one month of overlap in my pf. PS: I never worked for my previous employer it was an on campus placement from clg and resigned within a month. Acc to emp in current company they are laying ppl off and hence finding reasons to do so. I would like to have some advice from experienced folks here. Does this put somewhat of a dent in my career, hindering my future chances. Idc about getting laid off i care more about my future. Seeing the current job market is depressing and makes me anxious. I also have an option to do Ms from us but i first want to try myself out (if that makes sense) Thanks

took the plunge, started up last year. burned all savings, couldn't raise any capital. tried multiple things, nothing took off. decided to shut down in june. shutting down was harder than starting up, finished things up by october. been looking for jobs since, with no luck. had kick-ass jobs prior to this. no clue what is happening now. really want to give starting up another shot but have lost all motivation. so lost. no idea what to do.

I started as a fresher at a big service-based company, faced a lot of politics, and was learning nothing. I realized I needed to leave it ASAP. I left it after 8 months, then was jobless for 2 months. After 2 months joined an early-stage startup, and was satisfied with my learning for a while, but in the backend team, there were only two people me and the CTO. And my dynamics with him didn't go very well. There was no culture as well, weekdays and weekends were the same. I was still fine with it but the guy (CTO) became very toxic and creepy. In 2 months, I started interviewing and I got into a mid-sized series B startup that had a good culture. I had to switch tech stack and it was more overwhelming than I thought initially. I tried to do good but I got laid off after working there for 10 months. All the way along I increased my package to a decent level. Now I feel super demotivated and underconfident and it's been 6 months since and I haven't taken up a job. With an increasing gap, I feel I have fucked up my career. In these 6 months, I have tried exploring different career options but haven't been able to crack any or have been indecisive and I feel I should just take up a job.

Have an M.Des from one of the IITs. This is going to be my first switch. Is having a WITCH org going to screw my chances of getting into a product based org. If yes, how can I work on this?
