Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I took my day off (Monday) as I was feeling a little tired. But I really did not stop thinking about work, even though I was not supposed to. 

I think I might be attached to my workplace/work/ project, a little too much. Do you viners also face this? If so, how do you tackle this?

Get detached from work

Software Developer

I met my girlfriend during college, 5 years ago. 

We were so much in love. I remember we used to go on dates to picnics, museums and the works. I spent and invested a lot of money and time in this relationship. I feel that my life is purposeless now that she has left me.

Her father is a very high ranking government official. He has gotten marriage proposals from very well endowed political connections. Apparently some ex-CM's son is out in the marriage market looking. 

I don't know why but I still thought we would make it. Like, nothing can come between us. 

She texted me last night that she was leaving me because I only make 14LPA. My hands are still trembling. 
I want to go be the best version of myself and simultaneously think that the train tracks are looking comfy to sleep on.

They have no life
They have nowhere to go
They have no one to be with
They have no passions outside work either

And they make your life hell as they become the baseline for comparison for all sorts of management from appraisal to work distribution.

Feel free to disagree with me, but I’m genuinely pissed today. How do you deal with them? I have a decent life outside work but lose most of it while trying to catchup to such people so that I don’t get fired.

Sorry for the title.

How the F do I deal with overworkers?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Hello folks. While I'd like to remain anonymous very much, here's what I can share about myself.

1. Working in consumer finance.
2. Love personal finance and helping people out with it.
3. Have published 10,000+ pieces of financial content in the mainstream media.
4. Wrote a best-selling book on money management. It was No. 1 on Amazon once upon a time. 
5. Lately been appearing on TV regularly for personal finance discussions.
6. Saved like crazy through my 20s and 30s, brought two apartments; have an 8-figure net worth mostly thanks to my mutual fund investments. It's not much but it's hard-earned.
7. My unrealised aspiration is travel and I'm working on it now.

No, I'm not selling anything. No commissions, no referral links, no finfluencing. 

Just want to talk, exchange ideas, and learn from you all. Maybe I'll feature you in my next book. :)

Ask me anything.

I've resigned and our co-founder gave me an offer, where I'll be officially released but I have to work after office hours & will get paid accordingly (for temporary period) 
I'm sorta inclined towards the offer, I'll get some extra money + the work load isn't much, I can do it along with my day job. 


Now what are the factors I should take care of while finalizing this decision? How to make sure my bgc remains clean or something?

How the payment will happen? Ofc they will propose me something, but I wanna be prepared from my side as well. 

Thanks for reading, and I appreciate any input, about anything I've written or about moonlighting in general. 


PS: I'm also okay declining the offer, except the fact the company will suffer, which I don't want to (as we are very small team), and I genuinely want it to be successful.

What is one of basic things you realised too late?

Founder

Hi Guys,

I am currently working at a startup and was previously working at an IT MNC for 3 months. I was put on the bench and laptops/assets were not even delivered for 2 months of requesting. When the assets arrived there was 3 weeks of compliance and regulatory training before which my position was eliminated as a result of business restructuring and downsizing. I got my startup offer (strategy type role)by then and I resigned from the IT firm with proper reliving letter and fnf settlement. I have now got an offer from a boutique consulting firm(after working in my startup for around 6 months) . I have however not mentioned this IT mnc in my resume at all since I did not gain any kind of work experience at this firm and it was not adding any value to my resume in terms of the types of roles I am looking for, I wanted to keep my other internships and startup tenure as they were more valuable. I have been asked to submit previous employers service certificate on DOJ in new firm. I am not sure if I should submit the same or not. And if I do could this lead to revoking of my offer from the firm. Please advice me on this. I am a 2022 passout

You overthink because your mind moves million miles a min.

Being overly aware is a curse.

Once I was facing an issue with integrating a component. Searched high and low on the internet, tried what little was there, resulted in nothing. Took help from SMEs, still nothing. We all kept scratching our heads as to why this error was coming. The astonishing thing was that only this particular instance was causing trouble. The component was working fine everywhere else.

We were trying all possible things, and I knew it in my gut that the problem wasn't with the component, it's somewhere else. A few days later a thought striked, and I followed through. And what do I see, the error was resolved. Literally the most basic thing, that was already implemented, I just redid it and bam!

This is only one of such incidents that have now solidified the following thoughts:

1. It's always the small things that cause the biggest of messes.
2. Always listen to your gut.
3. The error is where the impact occurred, don't get blindsided by it. The root is somewhere else.

What has your experience been?

It is always the small things that cause the biggest of messes

My heart is filled with nothing but disgust if these allegations are genuine. I hope this reaches its natural conclusion and justice prevails.

Cofounders are pushed by VCs so their bet becomes higher odds because often one founder quits, burns out, is done, so they want a backup founder

Ask any VC and they'll admit this to you in private

Only benefits VCs not you

For you: a cofounder means your income $$$ or exit $$$ halves

But your odds of drama and trouble doubles

Half the money, double the trouble!

See Facebook drama with early cofounders for examples and countless other stories

VCs will never admit this publicly!

The Truth About VC Pushing for Co-founders: More Risk, Less Reward

Program Manager

I am a 29 YO single male. I earn decently well for my age. Lately I haven’t been feeling well. As in, life is just passing by and nothing brings me joy anymore - No PS5, No long drives, no movies or shows. 
Weekends are especially lonely. During weekdays, I make sure I go to my office everyday even though it’s hybrid, to avoid feeling lonely. 
I don’t have any female friends to talk about things deeply as most of those friends are now getting married. (you know how is it with us boys. It feels weird to share emotions or talk about life with the same sex somehow). Same for male friends. They are all getting married. 
Somehow, it just feels like I focused too much on my work and didn’t invest time in finding a mate at the right time. 
Now, on weekends, I just lay on my bed like a loser. I was never like this. I had so much drive to work, to explore, etc. But now it all seems pointless. 

Do you guys have any suggestions on what to do?

Don't trouble the trouble, if you trouble it, it will trouble you. 😜
