What exploitation!!! If they are skilled they can choose better job. Else a fresher also gets same in IT company. I have a different view over type of communist mindset.

All capitalist countries have laws about minimum wage using the concept of minimum required to have a decent living. When it comes to exploitation, the excuse given is that it's communist mindset. This way slavery is justified.

Consultant

All capitalist countries have kept minimum wage as the basic amount for a decent living. Because the government here has no sense gives an excuse to the fake capitalists to treat the labour as slaves.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I know this will sound like a very biased opinion but just sharing my 2 cents of today’s market.

The way with highest probability of success, money and ensuring a better future for your future generations is to startup.

It has the highest risk, highest reward. But in today’s landscape: where inflation is always higher than your hike, there’s no guarantee of employment even in next 1 years, the effort to remain in top 1% is humongous and many other reasons like that, really make me feel that if you’re able to start a company and even capture 0.1% of market who’s willing to pay something for your service/product, that’s all you need. Of course the struggle doesn’t end there and you have to keep working for as long as possible? But your capacity to earn and provide for generations to come is much higher than working for someone else.

All disagreement is welcome :)
Just tired of running this race for years now and still never feeling financially secure.

The guaranteed way to success (if there’s one)

It depends, founding a startup is a 24/7. For me, I need the time that 9-5 jobs provide after work for my health issues. Also my current company is doing a lot of layoffs so everyday I start with uncertainty and anxiety, but cannot quit cos I need the income. We are definitely moving backwards in growth in this corporate slavery, expensive education and inflation. In India, Our entire identities is based on our jobs as though your life is useless if you don’t have one!!

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Recently the CHRO of my company called me into a discussion on improving  WORK LIFE BALANCE.  Wow. I just cannot understand. Look at this. 
1. Most companies work 5 days a week. (Except retail operations). So you get 52 weeks x 2. 104 days. 
2. 30 days annual leav
3. 9 days statutory holidays. 
4. Operational holidays. 3. 
145 days of 365 days corporate people don’t come to office. And in a hybrid format even more. 
It is these corporate vultures who want work life Balance. How can u balance your life if u r unable to do it in 145 days. 
So Narayana murthy is right - work hard like 80% of india. Who have almost no weekly off. Just saying.

The BS about work life balance

10 years of schooling, studying hard during festivals, sacrificing my playtime, my childhood for marks..
2 years of high school - Completely cut-off from the world for a good college.
4 years of hard work for a job for a below average salary!!!

On the other hand:
Some random chai wala earns in lakhs.
Some MLM meme girl, living a luxurious lifestyle.
Insensible people are valued in society.
Even a 12th fail selling beer in his family shop lives a better life.

All the hard work I did is in vain? Whatever I did till this point of time was useless? What's the point of an endless struggle, if my destination has more struggle? Something is really wrong..

I have lost all my motivation 😞

What am I doing wrong?

Would you be happy, satisfied and fulfilled by scamming people with MLM schemes? Would you respect yourself? 
  
 Would you be happy, satisfied and fulfilled by running a tea stall? Would you respect yourself? 
  
 Would you be happy, satisfied and fulfilled by dancing on reels? Would you respect yourself? 
  
 Scamming people is illegal, immoral and unethical. 
 Running a Tea Stall is nothing to be looked down upon. It is honorable hard work, regardless of perceived status. 
  
  
 Dancing on Reels -> gaining followers -> being valued by society is nothing to be looked down upon. Creative pursuits, regardless of platform, are honourable hard work and deserve appreciation and respect. 
  
  
 There are people earning millions of dollars doing OF. It depends on the individual whether they are happy doing it or not. 
 So please don't get demotivated. 
 If you see yourself entertaining people by all means work hard on social media. 
 If you see yourself in the food and beverage industry by all means work hard to get there. 
  
 But if you don't see yourself doing all of that and you see yourself doing what you're doing now or something similar but just earning much better, with a prestigious title tied to your name, and being valued and appreciated more by people, then just accept the fact that you've just begun to climb the mountain. Though it's a long and hard climb, it's worth the view. 
  
 Hard work never goes to waste. Work harder and smarter. You'll get where you want to. But decide where you want to go. Stop looking at people who are not even in the same race as you.  
 It's like cursing your destiny why am I not born at Ambani's place, it's if no use. Think and take action only about controllables and leave rest to God.

How to earn fuck ton of Money

I am so frustrated by observing how some Indian startup founders have been mistreating employees. This is happening literally in all the startups and corporates.

Many of us invest their precious time and money obtaining degrees, only to become corporate employees.

India won the WC on Saturday night, and since then, I have seen numerous rant posts from people complaining that they missed this moment because they were overworked.

The rate of employee exploitation is alarmingly high, as founders often believe they have alot of options and are driven by their greed for money.

Look at the plight of startups, the top management says they do not have money so they lay off the whole departments without any prior notice. Yet they spend so lavishly on showing investors or on their socials how cool they all are.

We are bloody engineers, not their family bound slaves.
Why do we suffer ? 

I believe it is high time that we establish a union for employees working in the IT industry.
This exploitative culture needs to come to an end.

A Union of-by-for White Collar Employees

First time seeing this coordination of employees in any big company in India. Corporate slaves are realizing that they need to come together for their rights.

Well done!

I am a non-techie. For some time, I have been working on a SaaS project (Bubble, Supabase, ChatGPT) alone. Don't have enough cash to build a team. 

Can you help me out with these questions: 
1. Advice you would give to someone who is just starting out.  
2. What should I do to earn the respect of my future team. Considering I am a young non-techie and SaaS is all about tech.

Telling people that prompt engineer are making 2-3 crores in USA and how a 2 hour workshop will help you achieve that?

My current salary is 42LPA. I am from IIT, have 7 years of experience and work in product. Honestly, my value in the market is higher than what I’m being paid but I am very demotivated to optimise for that. When I do see less deserving people minting more money, I feel that I am doing injustice to myself and playing the wrong hand.

More and more though, the thought of earning more money chokes me a bit. I have dreams of building something of my own - that gives me control to build something my way and freedom to live my life as per my terms. But the mindset of “zyada paisa pareshaani hai” doesn’t leave me.

My family also is not dependent on me and whatever is needed from my side, I actively contribute to. I also lack any motivation to focus on my investments and see my money grow. I just have money sitting around in my bank account purely for nothing

I also look at my lifestyle choices from time to time and go into existential debate of why we need the things that we do. This has come to a point where I really do not understand my relationship with money and why we earn and spend it. 

For me at this point, it’s just a show for the world. There’s very little that you need, and really no limit to what you want to show. And I just don’t see a point in it anymore.

I am demotivated to work to earn more money

Hey @Hungryninja  
 Extremely relatable and very beautiful write up 
  
 I get the trouble you face. When you’ve almost figured out what you like and what you don’t like (that money isn’t thaaat needle moving, I have basic needs) but at the same time, the opportunity cost of relaxing is too high - everybody from your batch will remind you of how far you can go, and the middle class boy in you will find it difficult to stomach letting go of all the money, even though you can make it  
  
 Went through this at one point. I have ultimately sided with money. I cannot sit back and relax. Money will only unlock a lot of foreign travel and good lifestyle for me. But more than that, I am lucky to be in a position that allows me to earn money easier than other people do. So I’ll make it, help extended family and people who cannot earn as easily, because at least in a country like India, it’s almost a responsibility. We’re not fucking Europe. 
  
 I’ll just not kill myself for it as much as I used to :)

Hello, fellow men reading this. I have tried my best to include all my learning and those of my friends. I’ve written this as informally as possible.

Let’s get right into it.

Functionality matters as much as features; your personality will matter as much as your looks.

Your looks or pictures on the app will act as a hook, something that will stop girls from swiping left on the spot.

Looks

- Try going to the gym after work or college, and aim for a lean body. This will bring about the most significant change in you over time and will also encourage a good diet and discipline. Everyone likes a fit and athletic person.
- Experiment as much as possible with your appearance. Look up different hairstyles according to your face shape and A/B test with your barber.
- Consider getting a frame of specs suited to your face shape. For example, a square frame can really bring out your jawline compared to an oval frame.
- Wash your face twice a day, use sunscreen, and drink a lot of water. Your face is how everyone judges you, and if you are glowing and smiling, people will be more positive towards you.
- Maintain proper personal hygiene.

Pictures

- Please don’t fall into the trap of generic guitar/dog pictures. You want your pictures to represent who you are as a person. If you are into scuba diving, include a picture of it. If you like books, get a picture from a bookstore.
- Experiment with different poses and locations. Iterate and iterate to see what works.
- Don’t forget to smile. The last thing you want is for girls to assume you are too serious.
- Your pictures need to be a mirror of you. For example, I smile and laugh 24/7, so all my images are goofy.

Have previous experience of writing book also. My book "How to Bunk 101" was huge success back in my collage days.

Software Developer

I am seeing lots of 22 years old who have opened their digital marketing agency and earning really good money by working with freelance clients who pay in dollars. 

I am starting up and I want a source of income. Don't really want to go to corporate job. 

Haven't had much success with freelancing. Cold mailing hardly works and gig websites like Upwork etc have lots of competition at some really cheap rate. 

What are the best way to getting freelance work with international clients? Any help would be highly appreciated.
