Good people will always be there! ❤️

This is truly truly heartbreaking to hear.

Write about a time you made someone feel very nice. Hopefully it can be a collection of ideas that others can take forward. If somehow a few people do something nice as a result, that would be powerful. To start with an example: Bought a laptop for my grandfather because he wanted to continue working post 60. Helped him learn Excel, Gmail, Chrome browsing over many days. He really picked it up, and works as a consultant for new companies in the industry he worked all his life.

Sometimes this thought really occurs in my mind. I am the only child of my parents being total introvert it's difficult for me to talk to poeple from school and college times whenever i made friends(or whom i thought were friends) drifted apart it was me always who took the initiative to call or meet them but when i observed that no such initiatives from their side I too stopped bothering them. Even with my cousins who are pretty older than me i don't have that close bonding they are busy with their lives too. Now with my parents growing old i really sometimes fear that i will not have anyone in this world whom i can talk to despite my best intentions and efforts i am maybe not that likeable that people will want to go out or include me in plans. I am trying to improve and socialize more but just one sided effort doesn't seem to be worth anymore.

YoE: 10.7 (7@amazon — SDE3 for 2.7 years) Current designation: SDE3 Current salary : 92L + 25L stock Location: BLR, IN I got a call from google for L7 role (BLR) which is staff role in India afaik. HR mentioned Payrange: 2-3Cr I get mixed reviews from people so asking again for BLR folks: 1. Amount of focus on coding round vs system design? 2. Amount of leet code preparation? 3. In the interview Is the focus more on leadership or knowing deeper tech nuances? 4. What’s the payrange I can get? 5. Is google L7 equivalent of amazon L6? Levels.fyi has split so not exactly sure. I am looking for responses from people who have actually gone through similar experiences rather than “I heard from my sources”.

So I am a frequent Uber Shuttle user. I have travelled with the same driver a couple of times in the morning and very recently travelled with him for the first time in the evening while going back home. As soon as he saw me board the bus, he turned around and smiled at me with a lot of happiness in his eyes as if he had seen an old friend. It has been some time since this happened but I still remember his face and name since then since it is such a pleasant memory for me. Some people are truly pure souls and I hope there are more such people in our world. I for sure have learnt this from him.

Most corporate jobs tend to make you less of a human being. The pressure and competition make you shout at your subordinates, backstab your colleagues, and play politics. No matter what comes your way, don't give in to pressure. being a good human being is not a barrier to success, it's actually a key component of sustainable, meaningful success. When we prioritize empathy, kindness, and integrity, we build strong relationships, foster a positive work culture, and create a legacy that truly matters. Don't stop being a good human being; your progress won't be affected. Success that makes everyone hate you will be of little value. After all, success at the cost of relationships and respect is a hollow victory." Keep shining, you are making it easier for others to find their way.

I have lost all the trust and dont even trust my shadow anymore. But then, Human relationships thrive on trust. Its forms the fulcrum of every bond. This puts me in a difficult situation where I cant offer trust but seek a deeper and lost lasting connection I just feel that people leave me. Most of them did, When I hit my low. But as they say, The comeback has to be stronger than the setback. I am moving towards bigger things in life and am still haunted by this fear of not being able to connect.

Having lost both my parents, sometimes I feel extremely sad and demotivated for life ahead. I feel at the end we all will die and there is absolute no control on anything that happens with us. Still we are in this rat race of earning more blah blah. What's the point
