What to do with free time in life

Hello. I've been facing Saturday blues over the past few weekends as I feel I've too much time left still after chilling for a considerable amount of time, attending a language class and doing my household chores. So, just reaching out to the community asking in case if you need a hand with any of the projects that you're building, I'll be glad to help in some way within my ability. 

Just for context, I'm a Frontend developer with 2.5 YOE and only doing this to kill time. In case if any of you have better ideas, do share as well. 

Thanks : )

Does any of you need help on any of your projects? I've too much free time left during my weekends

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

The title is pretty self explanatory but I'd like to give some additional context.

I work at one of the stable, good biz unicorns of India. Good WLB, chill manager and work recently started to get interesting ( I joined ~10 months back). I have been getting bigger tasks and asked to look at the overall processes and monitoring.

The reason I'm looking for new roles is not because I'm a prick and too good for WFO but I've come from working for a seed stage startup for ~1.5 years. So, whatever work I get here I do it in 1/2 or sometimes 1/3rd the discussed timeline and mostly the rest of the time goes in playing office politics (design, product clarifications, minor updates and QA signoffs) which I strongly believe can be done from home. 

Tl;dr - I get bored in the office and feel like I can use this time to learn something, build something or you know just some zazza 💀

TC - 22 + 3 (I believe decent for 2 yoe?)

Mandatory WFO - Should I look out for new roles?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

This was the job I so badly wanted. It's WFH. The actual work hasn't begun. Training phase is going on. It's not even training. They've sent me some material to read and learn. That's it. I don't know any of my colleagues well. I just hear their voices on teams meet. I feel like quitting already.

Is it normal to feel like quitting your new job within a month?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

So thing is  In last 1 week my manager/project lead has been threating that you will have to work on weekend if you dont complete your task by friday and put the the task to testing.

And this boils my blood soo damnn much . But as a person who is on lowest level i cant do/say shit. I just disagree with him and dont argue.
What would you have done .[ practical advice only]

And thing is i do all my dev work on time even earlier almost everytime and he just goes around and threatens everyone with this. Soo annoying thay dumbfk needs to get rekt .

Work on weekend?!! Advice needed

Data engineer

It's been raining on and off where I live and that translates to no going out. Thinking of completing a course to learn while passing time. What about all of you?

What are you folks up to tonight in Christmas?

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?

Who doesnt have off today?

What's your most embarrassing moment in your office

Ever since 9th grade, I watch a football compilation video every time I am about to step on the field to play football. ⚽️🏟️

While I’m tying my shoe laces, the music thumping in my ears with cinematic visuals of the most insane football skills ever. 🤯

All throughout my college days as well, before every football game. I used to carry my headphones with me and watch a video. Emulate some flairs and new skills on the field, score long range goals and Shush the crowd. 🤫

Even today, when that time has long gone by, anytime there is a friendly Sunday match between friends. I’m sure to blast some music and just watch football before playing.

And yes, even today I get the same goosebumps as I step on the field and touch the ball. It’s the best feeling ever.

What about you? What’s the one unexpected habit that has stuck with you ever since you were a kid? 🤔💭

I’m finally in Bengaluru and this city seems glitzy yet underdeveloped. What a weird dichotomy. 🫨

Grapevine folks: What are your weekend scenes?

As I'm entering a new stage of life, I'm starting to reevaluate my career priorities. In my 20s, I was all about climbing the ladder and chasing prestige. Now, I'm more focused on finding work that aligns with my values and allows for a balanced lifestyle. 

Have any of you gone through a similar shift? How did it change your career trajectory? And how do you define success for yourself now versus when you first started out?

Redefining success: How have your career priorities shifted as you've grown older?

Curious to know what to do folks here do in their working hours when they are having a chill workload week/day in a WFH setup.

I just hopelessly wait for some ping or adhoc task to come up and end up wasting the whole time scrolling the phone.

What to do when bored during working hours

DevOps Engineer

Anyone in the scene building some exciting stuff? I am a growth marketer by profession but curious-er than George in general and want to explore new domains with some fun problems to solve. 

If you just need an extra brain in the room or a few extra hands to get things done, let’s talk? Would be more than happy to explore how I can assist you in your growth journey😄

P.S. Money’s not a motivator. I’m just looking for a means to test my skills and knowledge in a real-world scenario. If I like what you’re building, I am open to working for free🤷‍♂️

Got some spare time nowadays. Folks looking for an extra hand?

Growth Marketer

I spend a sad amount of time mindlessly going through Instagram. Want to cut down, and replace with better apps, that actually make my time better spent. Curious which apps you all use that make you feel better after you use them?

Which app/website do you regularly go to, that makes you feel your time was well spent?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

So I'm a Marketing & Growth Guy with 7 years of experience (Expertise - Performance Marketing) and currently working for Company abroad as a Growth Lead for one of their projects. I get 2.5 Lacs (In Hand) every month as a salary.

Now the problem is, they hired me last year April. And product isn't ready till now. Whenever it is about to be ready, there's a new pivot that comes across and I go completely free. I've done only 2-3 mini campaigns. 

Also, its WFH so I've plenty of free time. And I'm wasting it by sleeping in the afternoon. It's like I'm getting free salary without doing anything. Recently I've started actively swing trading in Stock Market and have got 2 small freelancing projects - Just to keep myself busy.

With this, I'm obviously not learning anything at work and also, there's a sense of insecurity that I'll be laid off anytime. 

What should I do? Leave it? Or continue my guilty pleasure? My age is 29 and I would want to move towards stability.

Had some free time on my hands today 😂😂
