Clearly shows they are here to brag. Did not even bother checking the salary functionality on Grapevine itself

Founder

In comments, it is the button to the left of GIF button. 
 For posts, it is one of the options besides besides text, image

Software Engineer

Maybe because they have similar offers or know peers who make more.

Maybe they just seek validation like most folks on instagram. Sadly this supersedes any other motive most of the time

18L isn't outrageous in the right context. What's the role? What's the YOE? 
  
 But since the OP did not share all these details, it does seem like bragging.

Software Developer

Braggers se zyaada unke baare mein rone waale zyaada hai. 18 base is not too wild if you're smart and make the right moves. One of the right moves is figuring out what's the market like by asking questions on a platform like this. Khud to kuch karna hai nahi aur dusre kare to rona hai.

Bragging on an anonymous platform is pointless. It's entirely possible it is true. But also possible that it isn't 🤷🏻‍♂️

Generalist

"Joining a YC AI infra company.  Fully remote+home office stipend.  Base comp: 18L  Worth taking?"   A lot of random folks write such shitty posts. Hit like to slap such people and show them the way.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I want to understand if you are also satisfied with your compensation?

How much do you really earn? Honest Answers Please 🙏

2.4 lakhs/month. 
      
 Not a developer. 
 Not in Tier 1 city.  
 Not in FAANG or whatever it’s called now. 
 No loans or EMIs for now. 
  
 Married to my GF of six years. She earns 1.3 lakhs/month. 
  
 Guess, I could say I am extremely satisfied.

UX/UI Designer

Product Manager

Hiring for a bunch of roles for an early stage startup. Salaries of people who have been laid off is through the roof

2-3 years experience asking for 30-40l and while we chose not to judge the experience and spoke to a few of them, most of them are not even worth half of the pay. 

Many are jobless since last 2-3 months and none of them are willing to take a paycut of even 5-6L and are willing to stay jobless ( probably have a ton of savings )

Market correction is necessary.

Roles : PM, software engineers, generalists

What's wrong with salaries

If you are paid less, don’t extrapolate it on others. If they are willing to wait, let them. You should keep praying for “corrections”.

I got to know a senior leadership member at a popular startup suggested to deliberately do poor appraisal for an employee so that she resigns herself.

Bad times ahead with companies forcing employees to join back offices and planning silent layoffs.

PS: By "forcing" I mean not leaving employees with much of an option other than to quit.

Silent layoffs upcoming 😔

Graphvine is my real comfort zone. No one is trying to show off. Reminds me that normal people like me exist too. On Twitter, every college student is super deep into AI research or every professional has 3+ income streams

Twitter and Linkedin are full of overachievers

Are you new here?   
  
 Haven't you come across this yet -  
  
 I'm 29 year old SDE-3 with a 7 figure monthly take home and 10 figure net-worth, should I become a data scientist next?

Sales Manager

Is it a good offer?

60 LPA and WFH. Startup

Data Scientist

I'm a Product Manager at a SaaS firm drawing in a CTC of about 18-20 LPA. I'm 22 years old. Is this the standard in the industry?

CTC Check

Hey Folks, 

Many kind people in and outside Grapevine have expressed interest to work with our small team. 

We don’t have any open roles just yet but may have a couple coming up in a few weeks/months. 

Just wanted to see if some people here were ‘really’ interested to work at Grapevine.

Rest assured if a role opens up you’ll be the first people we consider. Please fill in the form only if ‘actually’ interested. Cheers!

Interested in joining Grapevine?

Yeah bro, Stanford and MIT grads dream of working for shitty Bangalore startups 🤡🤦‍♂️

Least delusional Indian startup

Share your employer toxic trait/policy.

I'll go first 👇🏻

- My employer hired me when it was Fully WFH, now they force me to join office after 8 months of joining.
- Attend 5 days/week
- No hybrid
- Biometric system to track attendance 
- Complete 180 hours in a month or pay cut
- No relocation support
- Less appraisal (~5%) citing market conditions.
- Removed unlimited leaves just a few days below announcing WFO.

FYI: I was named best employee for 2023 Q1

Toxic company traits

Is it fine to use company laptop for leetcode?

Now why everyone is talking about benefits of working from office?
I saw post from Sunil Shetty on linkedin.

My take is, when pandemic hit companies asked employees to WFH to keep wheel rolling.
Now we know WFH can give greater control over personal and professional life(at least for me) we don’t want to go back to office.

In my opinion corporate want us to work from office cause,

- they can control our time, 9hrs in ofc, you are getting paid for time not skills.
- they want to show who is the boss here.
- Learning is key reason for WFO, bullshit, we have a lot of learning portals and traffic time can be used to learn but it is never a intention.

What you guys think?

WFH vs WFO

WFO- if you’re at entry level/early days of your career 
 WFH- works for mid- senior folks

Network Administrator

When will Dunzo employees get their salary?

Hey Folks, I thought I should do an AMA specially after yesterday’s rumours that I have been laid off from Grapevine - this isn’t true 😂. It is however true that I have been PIPed and have a much reduced role now xD 

To be serious: Happy to answer any Grapevine questions that you may have. Features, ideas, questions on why we do what we do welcome - I’ll answer what I can! 

Cheers!
