Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Overview: 
Everyone around me, be it old school friends to the people in the bangalore startup ecosystem are planning to or already in the process of doing an MBA. 

What is happening:
Most of the people I know, either are going for a tier 1 MBA in India or colleges like “Carnegie Mellon”/ “INSEAD”/ “NUS” these are really good places. 

Why am I concerned:
I dont have great acade, GEM candidate so I have decided to not pursue CAT at all, and MBA outside India is too expensive. 

I feel like my job and career are going fine with 4 years of professional experience I am making 25LPA in marketing. I am not keen on doing an MBA but I dont want to regret later.

I consider myself to be fairly smart but what happens when I am competing with people who have great brand names on their resume and are actually smart. 

People on GV with more experience, have you gone through this struggle? 


Sidenote: I also have friends who have cleared IIM ABC, ISB and not gone, because they just wanted the admit letter. Which is brave lol!

Will an MBA destroy your life or make it better?

Since yesterday night I have been unable to reply to anyone in one go in pops. Last night, I had to resort to closing and reopening the app 4-5 times, only then I was able to send replies. Today morning it seems that luck has also 'expired' :) I was trying to reply to someone as they had asked me a question, but after 20 minutes, I had to resign to DM them. 

I can understand that bugs happen, but if the app is going to cause this much of frustration to send a single reply (that too I only went through because I wanted to help out), you can be assured that your users are just going to call quits on GV.

P.S. The system 'back' button also doesn't work with pops. I can only close them from GV app's back arrow. This has been the case from the starting of pops.

GV team, the pop section is really buggy

I hate entitled genz.. Most frauds, brought up on soyboy YouTube channels . 

Boomers hated the millenials.. Millenials were too much talk and true most of it is. 

So why the fuck should millenials bend over backwards for genz. 
If they die, they die.

Keeping up with the trend

Currently I am discovering gv. I am loving it. You don't get doxxed(🤞) + you get to chat and converse with others like it's a WhatsApp group. 
Kinda love this. 
Is this just me? or 👀
If so, then what is the idea of social media. To bring more people to a platform or make it a limited area where you don't get to be toxic and making the space enjoyable

How you guys are spending this weekend? 

For me, I am traveling, so spending some time at airport. Amazed to see volume of passengers even in a Tier2 city, for sure boost to indigo top line😯

Hi, I am looking for recommendations for perfumes for my girlfriend. My budget would be around 1500 rupees. More intimate base notes would be preferred.

Generally fishbowl has too many service company or consultants kinda employees. Talking about content, it is high quantity and quality is degrading.

And there are too many posts so no one read them along with that only 1-2 comments on many posts. it's content is of no use at all.

I find fishbowl useless now and would not want grapevine to evolve at all like that. 
Views??

Grapevine should not evolve like fishbowl

It can be a person/movie/promise/rejection/failure/betrayal/loss/expectation/relationship etc, it could be anything.

I'll start - Raju Hirani for making Dunki, had a lot of expectaion from this but didn't feel THE RH movie at all

What is that one thing that disappointed/disheartened/broke you the most in 2023? and why?

Really surprised to see the level of name-calling, personal attacks and poor use of language happening on a public forum for professionals.

I don't know how we came to this point as a country where you can't even have a civil discussion about topics without someone starting to abuse people for no good reason. It's the same thing playing out on other social media platforms as well.

Most of this vitriol seems to be coming from a particular section of people, and it's obvious to everyone. What I don't get is why they indulge in such behaviour when they could be speaking to their potential partners, employers, colleagues and maybe even future co-founders.

Do they not realise this, or do they not care? Why has mature conversation and civil discourse died such a horrible death in India? Who is responsible? Can this be fixed?

Do people here not realise their current/future employers might be on GV too?

What's your favorite thing about Grapevine?

Consultant

What is it that you like and dislike about them in general?

What are some of your interesting takes on your GenZ co-workers?

They talk about restuarants alot. I think 60% of their conversation is around which restaurant or pub is "cute" or "vibes".  
 But that might be a Bangalore thing. 
 Also they watch alot of Indian OTT and nothing else. 
 Saare chutiya indian shows dekh liye but Oppenheimer nhe dekhi abhi tak, which is shameful.

Let me spill the tea on what's buzzing over at Grapevine in last 24 hours. You're in for a treat with these top posts, so let's dive in ASAP:

1. GenZ Co-Workers Vibes - https://share.gvine.app/JMZ71q9XfPTWaepM7
People are sharing their mixed bags of feelings about their GenZ colleagues. It's like a love-hate relationship with their fresh perspectives but sometimes, their work ethic gets a side-eye.

2. Corporate Drama - https://share.gvine.app/LuGxKBfB3BjBaFym8
Someone's really not having it with the corporate world playing dirty with job offers. It's a whole saga of promises made and broken. The tea is piping hot with this one!

3. Emotional Rollercoaster - https://share.gvine.app/TcVn4dPDdwPDiWTq9
There's a soul out there feeling all the feels and wondering if they're alone in their emotional whirlwind. Spoiler: You're not alone, babe.

4. Life's Regrets - https://share.gvine.app/uX2Wamf5qvVZ9hc78
People are getting real about what they'd redo if given a chance, across generations. It's like a confession session but with less guilt.

5. Job Hunt Desperation - https://share.gvine.app/egu4q8VvMWqxnCYx6
A techie got laid off and is now in the job-hunting trenches, sharing their struggle and hoping for a lifeline. The struggle is real, folks.

6. Life Lessons at 35 - https://share.gvine.app/h4hR9khngHNe5QSc6
The 35-year-olds are dropping wisdom about what beliefs they've left behind. It's like a glow-up but for your mindset.

7. ML Engineer's Rant - https://share.gvine.app/S4gXR759S81cSGSm9
An ML engineer is feeling the heat with job insecurity and interview rejections. It's a tough world out there for the tech-savvy.

8. Singlehood Woes - https://share.gvine.app/N5fbHue95QhpP1hm8
Someone's pondering if flying solo at 29, especially as an introvert, is as daunting as it seems. Spoiler: It's complicated.

9. Ambition or Lack Thereof - https://share.gvine.app/U9ut9RH5xXrNm8LK8
There's a debate brewing about whether corporate folks lack ambition or if it's just a case of different strokes for different folks. 

10. WhatsApp's New Look - https://share.gvine.app/4SbeBYLvkhPvS8nV6
WhatsApp's latest update has got people feeling some type of way about its new dark theme and that, ahem, unique shade of green. 

My take? It's a whole mood with these posts. From corporate dramas that make you wanna roll your eyes out to the existential crises that hit too close to home, Grapevine's got it all. 

And let's not even start on WhatsApp's fashion faux pas with that green. 

Honey, who approved that? Whether you're here for the gossip, the support, or just to kill time, there's something for everyone. 

Keep scrolling folks.
