It doesn't seem quite helpful. Instead of this, why not read about emotional intelligence through the famous book you can find on amazon. It's by Daniel Goleman

Any one here who after certain years of experience in front end (web or mobile) switched to backend or vice versa. If yes, did your existing org. provided you the opportunity or you got it outside? I am current working on native android with 7+ years of experience and I want to switch to backend. Any suggestions?

Switch to backend from front end.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I have a total of about 7 years of work experience, 2 years before MBA and 5 years after. The chunk of my experience is with an ecommerce startup. I've had at least three different role changes here and 10+ manager changes. I've worked my ass off in every role but with a constant feeling that it wasn't enough. I suspect a part of this is the imposters syndrome and the other part is the hustle culture that the company promotes. You're expected to be always on the go and irrespective of the pace you're at, it's never enough. 

I have been with this company for over 4 years and my ESOPs are 100% vested. I have been sitting on this very strong need of wanting to move on from here. The constant uncertainty + the layoffs I've seen is an added motivation. The company is changing its strategy every quarter and no one seems to know what they're doing. At this point people are only working for the optics and because losing a job in this market could mean months of unemployment. I want to move out but feel confused about what my skill set is. In a startup you end up doing just about everything. You become a generalist and that's making me feel like I lack depth. I'm low on confidence, the job market is unforgiving and I feel absolutely stuck right now. I'm unrepaid compared to my peers and that's a constant thought in my head. I'm currently unmarried with no dependents so the money is not an issue from sufficiency pov, it's more about being paid per the market standards. 

I'm not sure how to get out of this limbo and it's eating at me every second.

Hi Guys, 

I am a self taught product manager working in a B2B space.

Recently, I have found myself in a situation where I have felt the need to elevate my communication skills. I am finding trouble talking to my bosses and convincing them about my ideas. Many times I felt like my boss was dismissing my ideas without paying a lot of attention to it. 

Upon introspecting, I feel that the reason could be that we have recently brought in a new PM with much effective communication skills. I have seen him handing over the user facing work to him. 

This is an upsetting experience for me and costing me self confidence. As fellow product managers, I want to seek help from you.
 
Can you please share your valuable advice for handling such situations as well as learning better communication skills?

Business Communication

Humans have multiple frames of intelligence that they can use in everyday work and life : linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic and personal

Identify your primary one and engage with it. What comes naturally to you and emotionally engages you will be the one you see most growth in. Forcing a linguist to work on math will only create mediocrity.

What’s the most important career advice you’ve ever received? It could be anything, an advice from your colleague, a lesson you learnt the hard way, or a piece of wisdom that changed your perspective! 🌟🌟

Share Your Most Valuable Career Advice🚀

1. Work hard in your job. Don't complain and waste time. We know everyone is replaceable, but work so damn hard that if at all you decide to resign and switch sometime, it should come as a shell shocker to them.  
 Build a program/product/team from scratch, own it end to end so much that they'll never find anyone close to you who can work with the same efficiency. 
 You'll obviously take your learnings and apply them later on in your next job, but 
 You'll also earn the respect of all your colleagues which might be needed in your future corporate journey. 
 2. Don't chase money early on in your career unless you actually**need** it. Focus on building relationships, knowledge, learning to code (it helps) and earning respect of your colleagues wherever you go. 
 3. Don't get into smoking due to peer pressure. AVOID IT.

Strategy & Operations

Try to avoid asking questions which can doxx me on LinkedIn (that's where I post a little)

See if you can focus on asking questions around principles & not masala stories

Problem with masala stories is that you'll learn the wrong things from my narratives

This will be fun I think

where is LinkedIn going?

Morning everyone,
 
Hope it's going well.
 
What this post is: a place to hang around and chat just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss.  
Think of it like the watercooler at your office.  
 
Look forward to hearing from you all :)

I’ll go first: being honest with my manager that my workload has been very low for 3 months straight. It ended up showing in my performance cyan

One mistake at work that you’ll never make again?

Business Development Manager

When I joined my current organisation (4 years back) I held most of the responsibilities, had dependencies, was assigned a lot of strategic and interesting tasks, and very minimal operational tasks.
As the team started growing, after around 2 years, the dependencies started distributing. At some point of time certain top strategic projects were taken out of my bucket because i was operationally involved. 
Soon it became a trend, now i am at a stage where visiblity in front of the leaders is almost nothing. Most of interesting projects are assigned to other teammates. 
When communicated with my manager and head of department, they just asked me to do any project i like while keeping me neck high in operational tasks.

I am taking too much pressure for this because I know i can do more and have very less growth opportunities like this. 

Really not sure whether i shall blame myself or someone else for this for this. 
My friends generally suggest me that switch would be the right solution for this situation .

If any one of you has been through this, were you change your trajectory back or switched to another organisation?

Facing major FOMO at work

Analytics Manager

So I might get some hate for this. I know this is weakness and the feedback I've gotten is toughen up. But I've never known how.
 Is there anyone else whose body and mind had accepted that they're not going to amount to anything but fought their way through it? Can you tell me your story? Or give me any book suggestions?

I shut down under pressure

My advice is simple. Spite. Hate the situation so much that you come out of that, or conquer it with pure spite. The Hatred of ever being found in such a situation will propel you towards success.

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

In my corporate experience, I have observed two kinds of leaders - 1) A hard task master, very high on IQ but more often than not low on EQ and 2) High on EQ, above avg on IQ. I as a manager/ leader fall under 2) and usually get work done without authority but I do experience at times, some peers and reportees taking advantage of my behaviour

 In my view, anecdotally I see type 1) leaders succeed more in corporates even if it comes at the cost of facing flak/hate from directs/indirects. One of my previous managers was unpopular for his toxicity but somehow I kind of built a decent bond with him. Once over drinks and dinner, he candidly told me, I'm not here in this organization for making friends and I'm here only to get results and he did deliver on results every year.

My question is, can type 2 leaders even climb up the ladder specially where cut throat competition exists. Sometimes I do feel I need to be more like type 1 leaders obviously not at the cost of toxicity - disrespect, shouting etc. 

What are your thoughts?

Task Master vs Empathetic leader

Program Manager

And I feel I am a dumb guy. The main thing is they have been very well educated, they have a ton of experience, every tiny detail about these people who I work with is so extraordinary and I feel like I am a dumb guy who is not even good with writing an email. Its not that I am not trying to learn, I am trying to extract as much knowledge from them but still it feels like I will never ever be as good as them.

Everybody in my office is talented

Product Marketing Manager

I recently attended a workshop on emotional intelligence in the workplace, and it's got me thinking about leadership styles. I've had bosses who ruled with an iron fist and others who took a more collaborative approach. 

In your experience, what qualities make for an effective leader? How important is EQ versus IQ? And how can we cultivate these skills in ourselves and others?

Gonna try practicing this at work and see how sus it looks, wish me luck
