Tech: What are expectations from freshers or someone new to tech? How much knowledge and understanding is expected from them. Since tech is vast, and everything might seem new, is it okay to ask silly questions when they are stuck or how can you gauge their capabilities. How can the freshers improve if they are performing below their expectations?

Associate Product Manager

Currently an intern for a XYZ company, pretty good, compensation is pretty good, I'm an SDE intern, the team which im in is platform engineering, should I switch the role which has something more based on the heavy coding side?

I don't see myself beyond 5 years here, would this team matter when it comes while making a switch?

New grads, what's one thing you wish you knew before starting your first job?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am starting as an Associate in a management consulting firm. From all the more experienced folks out here, would love to hear about your first job experiences. Things that you did that made it a better experience or things that you wish you had done (or not done). Really anxious about it, so any random experiences are also welcome!

Starting work in a month, would love some advice!

Management Consultant

I recently changed my job, 3-4 months back.
It was a hard time finding a good job profile with good offer, after almost a year of searching amd giving interviews i found my current job. Luckily, my interviews were very good and i was offered more than what i had asked.
After joining team, i realized that they are looking to prepare for some regulatory changes and my role was pivotal in that. I kind of got to work and contribute on my own and my manager and his boss liked me. I was getting set but then last week, company announced some changes in top leadership and my manager's boss got a new boss. Now this guy seems little tricky and i don't know what all changes he would bring. As of now he seems to be sure of expanding the team/work that i do (related to regulatory stuff).

Now, these changes has got me a bit nervous. And i am kind a bit afraid about my job and its future. This is causing me stress. Any ideas or thoughts that can help me navigate.

Recently started at my new job, and have my first ‘catch up’ with my manager’s manager. I know this is little to no context, but any general questions I should ask during this 1:1? I definitely need to make a good impression, especially considering the current climate. Thanks!

What should I ask my manager’s manager?

To all the experienced people out there, 

I'm going to start a job in a sales role soon enough and I'm a rookie here. What do you think I can do to best prepare for my job.

Anything else that you think I should know? 

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Sales Job - How to learn and succeed?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I recently was offered an internship at a startup, but their tech stack is completely new to me. I am 100% willing to learn on the job and I am not afraid of picking up new technologies, do you have any tips for me (maybe an approach that will help speed up the learning and building process or anything in general).

Suggestions on starting a new role

I just joined a new internship (my first offline internship) at a big company and don't know what to do here... I am getting small tasks that I finish in half a day, not getting a big project and then I'm free for the rest of the office hours, don't know if I should ask for work or it would be allotted to me. I know it's silly but is this normal? And what should I do? I need clarity regarding corporate life, lmao!

Just joined a new internship

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I work in a slowing industry (Ed-Tech!) in a generalist role (Project Management!) for half a decade now! You'd think I would be better positioned to deal with life! Heck, NO! 

This crippling feeling of insecurity or job loss always puts an extra stress on day to day life. I couldn't take any risks in terms of a house or a car or a big EMI purchase in life! 

What if I get laid off? Will this generalist role help in landing anything next? Do I need an MBA for that? Switching to any specialized roles will take extensive preparation with time being in short supply with family and kids! 

Seem to have been strangled in the startup world. Any cure for this?

P.S : Sometimes thinking : Mommy sahi bolti thi. Govt job le leni chahiye thi. :D

Project Manager

This was the job I so badly wanted. It's WFH. The actual work hasn't begun. Training phase is going on. It's not even training. They've sent me some material to read and learn. That's it. I don't know any of my colleagues well. I just hear their voices on teams meet. I feel like quitting already.

Is it normal to feel like quitting your new job within a month?

I'm nervous in my first job

Hey everyone, heading into my first internship this summer, no other work experience  and want to hear from full time employees on the lesser known things that secure the return offer. By this I mean things other than being able to adapt to work, ask questions, not making same mistake over and over - basically the things that aren't talked about but from your perspective really makes huge a difference in your opinion on the intern.

Thanks in advance!

The "Not So Obvious" Things That Get You A Return Offer?

Hey everyone,
I recently got selected for the position of business development intern.
So, coming from a tech background I don't know what I should expect in this non-tech role.

Please guide me regarding this process and what I should prepare to not look stupid on the first day of my joining if someone asks me a question.
