Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Too much negativity everywhere. I just want to find ppl who genuinely like what they are doing. If you are one, what do you do and what makes you happy?

is there someone who actually...LOVES their job?

Am too old to love my job. Relaized am just  a cog in the wheel. I work for money. When i hear the mgmt team talk nonsense about purpose and adding value, i happily smile to his face and laugh in my mind.  
 Am here for the money.  The company can fuck itself.

Let people guess what it is that you really do.

Press buttons in front of a medium screen, just so I can relax in front of a large screen while looking at a small screen.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I just want to vent out! Many businesses are earning double than me and paying less than 50% of tax and yet here I am as a professional bound to pay tax. And that’s not enough, I still can get audited!

Paying 29L as tax this year!!

I paid 43L last year. 😤😖 
 It feels like I own every inch of new BLR airport. 😅

I'll go first: I would love to teach kids and write books in my free time :")

What is your Salary and YOE ? Are you satisfied with the progress you have achieved so far ?

Satisfied with TC ?

Hey fellow grapevine friends, let me share a hilarious tale of my recent job interview rollercoaster ride! So, picture this: I chanced upon interviewing for one those new age alternative fintech firms, feeling like a boss, acing every interview level with flying colors. The interviewers were practically showering me with positive vibes about the role and the company. I was on cloud nine!

But hold on to your seats, folks, because things took an unexpected turn. After the initial warm reception, it suddenly went colder than an iceberg. I waited eagerly for responses from the TA team, but all I got was radio silence. Not even a peep. It was like they vanished into thin air!

Now, I wasn't keen on pestering the hiring manager, but desperation got the best of me. I decided to shoot them a message, hoping for some answers. And guess what? They hit me with the most mind-boggling news ever – a hiring freeze! Can you believe it? Talk about bad timing, right? I must have brought some serious jinx along with me.

As if that wasn't enough, I then discovered something straight out of a conspiracy movie. I noticed that the TA team's LinkedIn profiles had that same little green circle, indicating they were open to work.. But wait, there's more! A bunch of ex-employees and other members of the team also had that eerie green circle. What on earth was happening here? Are they secretly communicating in some LinkedIn language that mere mortals like us don't understand?

Oh well, my friends, the job hunt can be a wild and wacky adventure, full of unexpected twists and turns. But fear not, for I am armed with resilience and a great sense of humor! So, with popcorn in one hand and my resume in the other, I shall continue my quest to conquer the job market. While also finding the anomalies of the start up world. Here's to embracing the unpredictability and staying positive on this crazy journey! Cheers to the next chapter of my job hunt! 🍿🚀

From fintech hopes to deep freeze: My epic interview saga

Operations Manager

Just curious, I would like to know what are some of the most uncommon ways people have made money.

Please don't say internships, jobs etc 

Let me go first : made a playlist of some niche focused videos on YouTube ( can't disclose the niche as of now )
Added the playlist link to a doc and 💥
Sold it on gumroad for some good $$ to a good no. of people. 

Your turn now

What's the craziest way you've made money ?

At start of 2020 was transitioning to a new job. Got FnF of 1.3L from prev. job in March of that year.  
  
 Unwittingly YOLOed all of it into crypto (ETH, MATIC, UNI). Over the next year it grew to ~85L. Withdrew all, paid taxes and put the lumpsum ~50L in mutual funds and FDs on dad's advice. Not gonna get lucky like that ever again.

Analyst

I come from a poor background, but somehow I worked extremely hard and now I earn decently well (above 60 LPA cash). 

My problem is- 
I don’t mind spending on others. In fact I don’t even think twice before taking my card out and buying things for family or friends. I have also lent money to multiple people when they are in need of help (total close to about 2-3 lakhs). But it doesn’t bother me even a bit. I don’t even care about whether I’ll get it back or not. 

But, when it comes to me, I find myself struggling so much and questioning my decision to buy things even as cheap as INR 200-300. And most of the times I find myself going extra miles to save a few bucks. In fact, I also recently downgraded from a bigger to smaller apartment, because I have been doing so much maths around saving 7-8K a month. 

Maybe there is some part of me that feels that I don’t deserve any of this. 

Anyone has any idea how to fix this?

I find it so hard to spend on myself

Product Owner

Yourself ? 
Your family ? 
Just because, no reason ? 

P.S. I am drunk rn, and I am working for so I can provide my family everything they wish for : a cool gadget, a fancy trip, a great concert experience, peace of mind….

Sometimes it means handling toxic work environments, but their smiles make it worth all the effort.

Guess what I do for a living, huehue
