I never got the point of Snapchat. 
  The first time I heard what a snap streak was... I was like who would be retarded enough to do this bullshit daily 
 Turns out the whole fkin generation.....

And that same generation is unaware of shaitan singh but knows Munna waar fuckkuri

Monetarily yes. 
 But also because of their struggles in life, shaped us differently

It's all about... 
  
 Need vs Want 
  
 Minimalism vs Materialism 
  
 Content vs Chase 
  
 Chose your options smartly. 
  
 I value those who respect n-1 as well as n+1 and living n generation happily:)

It all boils down to 💰💰 gap within the peer group of same age, no two ways about it, it's just the reality.

do you ever feel that your peers/friends/colleagues are a couple of generations ahead of you ?

it might be in terms of the way they live their life, spend money, their ambitions, the way their family is living, their interaction with their family members or people around them.

like you feel you yourself won't be able to experience all that in your life but your kids might have that kind of life.

It could be because of that city tier gap also, you came from a different city/village and you never got to experience all that tier-1 city life, where you see kids living in these cities. 

this is why I feel I'm earning for my next generation, not for myself. 


any thoughts?

[Generation Gap] between peers/friends of the same age

Senior Software Engineer

[Generation Gap] between peers/friends of the same age- Grapevine

Not sure you folks will agree with me, but people in IT especially the one's in senior positions (Director level) guys are running companies in 2024 but their thought process is somewhere stuck in the late 90's/early 2000's. 
They feel like what they have experienced or what they have been through is applicable in the current generation too. Be it from the perspective of working long hours or when having discussions around respectable increments/promotions. If we start giving them reasons as to how things are not working out they will end up going like "In our times it was difficult to get even 8% hike, We worked extra hours, we had limited access to technology etc etc".
How hard is it for them to realise that we live in the 21st century? Things have changed rapidly in the past 15-20 years from when they were working in the market. It's difficult to even convince them on anything as they have already made up their mind on how world was working, how it should work and how it will work in the future. 
Hope I was clear enough, but this is a serious problem in today's MNC (Sadly in some of the well performing startups)

Generation gap or mindset difference?

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.

I blame parents for this. Not that coaching centres are saints, they suck the life out of students by making them study 24/7 but the reason that child is in coaching centre is because parents put him/her there.

And every suicide letter I have read from students mentions that they couldn't fulfil parents expectations.

They are the reason their child is in that condition, just because they want to brag and seek validation  from so called society that their child is a prodigy (and want to establish that they are the creator of this prodigy) who went to medical/IIT. And if the child doesn't act acc. to their expectations, they start gaslighting them "We gave you birth" "Maa baap bhagwan ka roop hote hai how dare you blame us Or don't listen to us" 
I once watched a movie (don't remember the name) where actress says "As parent we determine if our child needs tuition classes but at same time we fail to know if he/she needs therapy"

Who do you think is to be blamed? 

Also parents on GV don't push your child if he doesn't want to fly, thinking he has wings, he may fall to death.

The Court was hearing a PIL filed by a Mumbai-based doctor Aniruddha Narayan Malpani who blamed coaching institutes for driving students to death

SC blames parents for Kota suicides, refuses to rein in coaching centres

Who do think is responsible for stress? Parents or coaching mafia?

The root cause of all this is overpopulation and a shortage of jobs. Coaching centers and tough parenting only exist as a consequence of this

I’m an older millennial with a significant proportion of my team being Gen z. I see them being very different to how I was as a junior. Any thoughts on this?

Millennial vs. Gen Z

Investor

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I'm a millennial managing a team of Gen Z's. I feel like I need a translator. How do you bridge the generational gap at work?

I thought I was young and hip, but my new employees make me feel ancient.

Generational clash at the workplace

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

It's a very Indian mindset to treat or look down upon people who make a lot of money. We find some or the other reason to bring them down. We call them names. Though most of our life problems can be solved by money. 

Just like there is an American dream I think the Indian dream is to stay middle class and bitch about people who do the hard work. 

I understand that there are certain classes of people who are truly disadvantaged in terms of caste or patriarchy but for others it's just being lazy and reluctant to change.

Bitching about people who are successful just gives them a sense of achievement without actually putting in the effort.

Indians wholeheartedly hate people who make money

I don't look down upon people who make money; I look down upon people who brag about it

How many of you were aware of these slangs https://x.com/333maheshwariii/status/1784121359502856388?s=46

Ngl, I’m just 1 year older than what’s referred to as “Genz” but I feel like a generation gap!

Software Developer

Do you guys feel that all these years of hardwork, getting best education & hustle to get decent/top job is no way remunerative to what people on SM(insta/yt) influencers make by simply sharing their life/cooking videos/GRWM/nutritionists etc, which we audience consume mindlessly.

Does this change in career mindset going to make children opt out of higher education? I see a lot of people below 18yrs to have below average scientific mind.

Ofcourse, there are people in the same age group doing amazing stuff, building startups etc but an average kid seems lost in the digital space.

Mid life crisis?

Any sneakerhead here, I’m confused in Nike Terminator low phantom coconut and Aj1 low, Kindly help me choosing best

Nike Terminator

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I myself am a Software dev with more than ten years of exp. 

I mentored a bunch of folks and was active in lot pf communities. I have been noticing this trend for more than couple of years about how freshers and developers with experience of less than two three years are aggressively looking to switch companies to target 30L or 50L or whatever they are currently looking for. 
But I feel this is really bad for future in terms of career growth. I am not against looking for the best offer, but I feel people recently don’t have any priority for career growth. 

I am trying to understand their perspective. I am not jealous of any of these. Heck I prefer that they get more, so that they have to increase my pay to keep up with current trends. It’s just when people ask me for career guidance I don’t want to sound like a jerk to prioritise good work over good pay. 

Can you guys share your inputs/perspectives?

Are juniors salary expectations even realistic?

Sales Manager

I know a lot of companies are hiring for roles with competitive offers that are in sync with Bengaluru, Pune, Gurgaon, Chennai, and Hyderabad. Why not stay away from metros given the right opportunities? Would love to hear your thoughts.

What's stopping everyone from working in a Tier 2 or tier 3 city?

I like having lots of options in Swiggy Zomato and quick deliveries via Flipkart and Amazon.

Why older women getting jealous of GenZ women

I felt that after attending Dandiya event in Mumbai.

I pity them

Getting taste of money early in life shapes career very differently. Opinion?

Depends person to person and how much money really. 
  
 In my case, when I used to earn meagre decent(say top 10% of country salary), I used to save a lot, never spend anywhere unless absolutely needed etc. But, once I started earning top 2-4% and living in Bangalore within 1.6yrs of my career, I became too engrossed in chasing money and spending on luxury. For me, I believe, too much money especially when I didn't think I deserved it, made me into someone who didn't focus on his skills and became complacent.  
   I am trying to fix that now 
  
 My learning - Never focus on money initially, always upskill, always earn what you are worth and work towards increasing your worth! 
 At the same time, know your roots, be grounded and work on building effective relationships(realised that this is what makes me truly happy)
