Open for opportunities

I've been in startups for the last 8 years. From Series B/C onwards to even a unicorn, over time worked at 3. 
One of them was an outright scam, raised many millions of $s from top investors, and then ultimately died. 
Also close with CXOs at decent sized startups, and there is a pattern out there. 

A few thoughts:
1. Being a startup founder is tough. There's pain. Some people thrive in pain. AKA Masochists. Know how to spot a founder who works 15 hours a day because they love their vision vs. somebody who works 15 hours a day because they're masochists. These people thrive in pain, and hence love to see you miserable as you slog away the hours under their leadership. 

There is absolutely no vision for the future that they have. They do it for the fame, money, and cause a lot of pain in the process. Nothing good comes out of it. Investors love this breed.
   
2. I wish I'd done more than just leave the scammy startup. At the point, I decided against whistleblowing. Because I thought there's so many people employed here, they would all be impacted. Over time, 200-300 people more joined after I left. Once the scam was caught, all of them lost their jobs.
   
3. I'm not a coder. I'm a generalist. Over time, my pay grew but not in line with my peers who went into consulting/VC and then came back to big tech/startups. Over time, you disadvantage yourself if you stick around as a generalist in startups for too long. The next team pays you at some premium over the last one, there's no step jump. 
You need to somehow find a successful startup early, and genuinely, that is impossible to game - even VCs have to bet on 20 to get it right.

These are a few disjointed thoughts. I hope they give some insight.
My only takeaways:
- If you work at a scammy startup, don't stand it. At least, don't stick around. 
- I earn lesser than my peers (tier 1 undergrad), but I regret nothing. I love my work, and I'll never get over the kick. I cannot imagine working at a larger company ever again.
- Ultimately, you have to be optimistic. Believe that India will grow, good founders will come around, magic will happen ❤️

I know we all somewhere deep down in our minds are thinking of starting up something new, some crazy SAAS that would disrupt the market, and make you a founder overnight ! But the friction is way too much, mostly because we are surrounded by people who don’t think the same way, who are stuck in the trap of 9to5 like us, but are also satisfied with it ! 
So I am calling out all the people who may have some crazy idea, or maybe don’t even have and idea ? Just a crazy will to build something of their own !! Let’s connect and spend more time with people who think like you and want to reach somewhere! 📈

Looking for people who want to startup!

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hello folks! I come with 4 years of work experience out of which I worked in very small but great agencies for 2 years. In the past 2 years, I’ve been on the growth generalist side but I’ve taken up some great amount of responsibilities. 

- I’ve driven user adoption for a feature from 0 to 1 million 
- I’ve worked with giants like Disney on their product strategy
- I’ve handled budgets of $1 million for a year long campaign and successfully reached the target metrics 
- I’ve also closely worked with the leadership on several new initiatives, acting as a program manager 

I come from a non-tech undergrad background but honestly, I’ve worked on entire product cycle ranging from finding the right solution for different features, identifying third party providers to creating user flows and wireframes.

I’m on the lookout for a new opportunity, already quit my job. Work has gotten rather crazy with so much time out but considerable change in leadership affecting me negatively, having to build credibility every time. I’ve had my manager change 4 times in a year. 

If you know any startups that would be happy to have me, I’d love an intro. 

Thank you!

Opportunity hunting - Growth/Strategy roles

Growth Manager

Hey guys, 
   Wanted to know your opinions and if someone has walked similar path before. 
   I am in infrastructure engineering domain, want to transition into core backend with full stack. 
   I have roamed around abroad and found really great quality of life -
   1. Food quality is damn good!
   2. Spending power when you travel with that currency to other parts of the world
   3. Disciplined
   4. Power of people, where the rules are same for all. You are just as powerful or weak as a politician in regards to upholding the law. 

I like these concepts and want to explore living abroad, learning cultures, traditions and people. 

I was thinking of getting into a Europe based company(understand the pay would be less but I get to roam EU countries with better work life balance) for my backend role and leave my current job to prepare for it as my entire day is sucked off by this current high paying job and it's not fun anymore

Thoughts?

Tldr -
Not happy with my current life sucking role at startup. Have experienced better life abroad as a tourist. Want to switch to a job abroad and experience customs, traditions, people, culture, languages!

My work doesn't excite me. Thinking of quitting to focus on backend and take up job in Europe

Personal learning. Places that seem great as a tourist may not be epic to actually live in

What are the startups that I can invest in

Hey folks, i m a wannabe be entrepreneur. My reasons are simple I like problem solving and I want to create a secondary source of income. How do you find those problems? I feel you guys stumble upon problem statements through your own experiences. Ohh and one more thing, if there are any solopreneurs here on grapevine, let me know your thoughts as well as your journey too. Cheers :)
