This is not my story. We were group of 4 in MBA, everyone got placed in different cities.

One of our friend got remote work so shifted to his hometown in MP. But you don't get to date girls in small towns. 
Just for fun sake, he posted a fake job post on LinkedIn. A girl reached out to him, shared her resume, which sure had her number too. He thought he would do that fake rejection drama, console the girl and get on with it.

Now, the girl was genuinely nice and sweet. Was seeking a job after layoff in Covid. This man (a big cutie he is) made ends meet to get her a new job.

Cut to 4 years later, I get invited to their wedding.
Honestly, I still cannot believe this is how he met his wife 😂

Got girl through fake job post and now getting married.

Got girl through fake job post and now getting married.- Grapevine

Share yours,

Sharing one of my female friend’s story :

The guy had uploaded backdated pictures (3 yrs) of his on matrimonial site profile, they talked and everything, went to meet the guy along with parents.

Situation : The guy was completely bald when compared to the photos he had uploaded, had also not shared any recent pics on WhatsApp chat (even after asking multiple times) citing reasons that he was very busy with work and all. 
Needless to say my friend was taken aback.

Verdict : Rejected on account of being dishonest (not bald). 

P.S. : My friend has dated bald guys in her past.

I am not a storyteller so had to use clear indications of situation and verdict.

Matrimonial sites awkward stories

Corporate Strategist

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I once interviewed for an internship at this startup that made stuff for pets. I had researched the company inside and out.

I wore this funky shirt with a bird pattern to fit in 'context'. 
Turns out, the CEO was wearing the exact. same. shirt. 
We both just froze for a second, then she started laughing and said, "Okay, you've got the right vibe for this place!"

Weirdly enough, accidentally matching outfits with the boss helped me get the internship. 
I guess sometimes the most awkward moments can actually work in your favour!

Do you have funny/weird internship stories?

Unusual places to meet your partner

What are some points to take care of when getting married through an arranged marriage setup?

Married men, what advice would you give for an arranged marriage?

Despite the "modern era" we live in, many of us still find ourselves on the path to arranged marriage—often feeling like it's the only option we have. Speaking from personal experience, I've had my fair share of bizarre encounters. Hearing similar stories from my male and female friends who are also going through this process has provided some comfort, especially knowing that I'm not alone. 
Let's use this comment section to share our experiences—whether they were bad, weird, gut-wrenching, blood-boiling, or even heartbreakingly disappointing

Controversial Arranged Marriage Meet Ups

Do people actually find spouses through this shit??

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

Did you or anyone you know met their now wife/husband on a dating app? What's the story?

Growth Manager

A friend of mine was dating a girl, convinced his parents to offer marriage. But girl chickened out last minute, married one her father had chosen. This really fucked him up, he was determined to get married anyhow, whom didn't matter. 
1 Yr later, found a girl parents found, got pregnant before first anniversary. Over 3 years, their marriage has seen divorce, domestic violence and 5 star hotel celebrations (oscillated to extremes of good and bad)

I'm seeing another such case.
Office colleagues were dating, he proposed marriage, she declined. He said stuff that shouldn't have been said, she threatened POSH (did not complain officially)
2 months later, he has found someone to marry through arrange marriage route 

Break ups are bad, but half of the problem were you. Instead of working on that, people take it on ego

Rebound marriages are the worst

Probably most of you people might have used dating apps and there is no way that you have not had such an incident while using dating apps, so spill the tea and entertain everyone on the weekend😂.
I will go first:
So when I installed the dating app for the first time, I had no idea what to write in the bio, so I changed the looking for filter to man and women both and I started swiping left on men but was seeing what they are writing in bio and after some time I closed the app and forgot to change the filter and after 1 day I found out that I had 83 right swipes on my profile. Now I am scared that I hope no one of my knowing would have seen my profile warna gay samjne lagege😭

P.S. I used to use this question as an ice breaker and the response rate was 100%😂

Whats your weirdest or funniest dating app incident?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hello all,

This incident happened with one of my friend. She is looking for a job change and these people contacted her saying she is selected for interview with Godrej and Boyce. His name is Aniket Archarya 
His linkedin profile 
https://www.linkedin.com/in/aniket-acharya-054647108

She passed all the rounds which were only for 15 mins( she appeared for data analyst role). He called her today stating she performed well and but her Power Bi skills are not upto the mark but still the management decided to go ahead with her. He mailed her the offer letter and but there was no joining date mentioned. When inquired he told her that she has to do one certification in order to get onboarded which costed around 17,994 INR. This is the portal of the course http://deep-learning.school

Since she found this strange she investigated in linkedin contacted other HRs who have verified badge. They confirmed its a scam. 

To all out there beware of these frauds masking themselves as HRs

[ thread ] what are your biggest wins this year?

Operations Analytics

Recently I was talking to a girl who was working a startup in BLR. She left the startup with some horrendous experiences. This startup was working from a startup hostel in BLR. Things she told me shook me. She was dating the founder.

So this founder who claims to be on his 2nd startup dates his own employees and then blackmails them.
The average age of his employees is 24. All these girls that he dates are not above 23/24

Apparently this guy has 2 court cases against him. One for fraud and one for a rape case. Both of them are not easily found online. He uses VC money to keep in under the hood.

The fraud case is about his first startup which was a stolen idea apparently. 

This guy’s whole life is fake.
He claims to be an IIT Madras dropout, but he's from some local college. 

There are rumours that one of the girls he dated tried to kill herself because he allegedly filmed them.

He also does not pay salaries for months to his employees but compensates by giving them expensive gifts.

He claims his parents are IAS officers but we checked and they are not. 

His last startup was around around AUTH and current one is around Fintech

Girls and boys stay away from working with such shady startups.

Tinder Swindler of BLR

It's been 4 years since covid started and all of us went into the first lockdown (24 March 2020). I just thought of this while making another post, and this has actually taken me aback. It was such a crazy time, and now it's just long gone. 

- We got a lot of time to be home, to be around loved ones, most of us are privileged and hence Covid wasn't bad at all. We were mostly making Dalgona Coffee, sourdough bread, playing PUBG, watching movies, etc. 

- A lot of us also lost loved ones. It was really brutal for those who did. And it was always scary for the rest of us. 

- Most of us who have been in tech saw our salaries climb the fastest. The absolute peak job market, best hikes, the world was very positive in that sense - not as much work and enough pay to enjoy 

- The biggest thing I've noticed: Covid got me hooked to Instagram/YT Shorts/and other social media. I feel like I used to be more aware and awake before covid. Somehow, a lot of exposure to social media/content etc. has made me just very zoned out in life. I think a lot of us have a much shorter attention span. 

IDK if this is true, but certainly feels like it is true. 

Just penning this down because I'm genuinely tripping how long it's been.

4 years since Covid started. What are your memories from that time? How have you evolved since?

They have created the picture of falling in love at workplace . I still doubt on people who met at workplace and got married ....Dude how???

Need to stop watching K-dramas

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

So my sibling is about to graduate with a degree in Computer Science from a T2 college in a few months and wants to now do MS in the US because of three reasons: 

1. Low levels of violence against women(Sexual Assault) [IMPORTANT!!]
2. Want to do innovative work in the US instead of working on copycat products in India
3. Ambition of living in the US long term because of free-er culture

But my parents have flat out refused to fund the education or even help her with a loan due to regressive mentality (nahi jaana baahar, 2-3 saal kaam karo aur shaadi karo chup chaap)

She has accepted a job offer for now and will make 14L/year. What are her options? Should she drop the idea of MS abroad?

What to do if your parents refused to fund your education(MS/MBA) abroad?

People over 35 what is one thing you regret from your younger years?

I joined AmEx Gurgaon in 2015 in PoS Fraud Strategy as a Business Analyst. I was having a rough time at AmEx as I really wanted to pursue my passion of Mathematics in the US. I had secured an admit at Univeristy of Illinois - Urbana Champaign and UT-Austin in their MS programme and was totally checked out at work.

During my tenure at AmEx, I was mostly bored. Looking at internal tools and spreadsheets was the worst. This coupled with the fact that I was travelling to and fro between Noida and Gurgaon meant that I was commuting a solid 4 hours everyday.

In this time of mental agony, I met this charismatic young woman, she was an Analyst in the Credit Underwriting Team. I don't know what got into me and I asked her out to coffee. We went to the Starbucks in CyberHub the next morning and she was the most delightful personality ever. Sweet and elegant, she talked of her passion with vigour, from her ideals to writing poems. I left that conversation feeling uneasy though. 

She reminded me of what I wanted but also of what I was scared to lose in her. 

We continued to date for the next 6 months in a hush-hush manner to avoid any suspicion at AmEx. I had to start the process of getting my F1-visa for the US and when I told her about it she was extremely disheartened.

In my heart, I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my days with her and life without her was nothing but an empty void. She came with me to the US Consulate Office, and I don't know what got into me but I kissed her.

I knew that I wanted her more than anything else. 

Decided not to give the Visa Interview and applied to ISB with my GRE score. Got into it and ended up becoming a Management Consultant in MBB. 

We got married in 2019 and welcomed our daughter into this world in 2021. 

I wonder what life would've been living in the US. But whatever it would be, it couldn't be better than being in her arms when we come back from work. 

Have faith. Everything will turn out to be okay. Trust the process
