May 2024 bring all the happiness you ask for and may all you fulfill all your resolutions! 🥳

Happy new year everyone!

Same time last year, an early version of Grapevine was ready. We still didn’t know if it will ever work, if anyone will use it and even if they do, will they return to use it a second time? 

If there’s anything we did well this year, it was in creating a space where smart, talented, high-potential people like to spend time and communicate with each other on topics ranging from work, salaries, personal finances, life, philosophy, technology and so much more

Rest everything: Product, Marketing, Engineering, Design, we want to get better on, and we will

Thank you for your patience as we slowly build this product and mess up, many many times. 

In 2024 we promise to work 2X harder to deliver you the most helpful platform for professionals 

But more important than what the Grapevine team achieved in 2023, is what y’all did: 

- You created 24K posts 
- You created ~200K comments 
- Shared 10s of thousands of salaries to help each other 
- Shared 1000s of open job opportunities 
- Referred 100s of people 
- Helped 100s of Grapeviners find new jobs 
- Helped 1000s of Grapeviners negotiatiate an offer
- Helped 100s of people not move to Bangalore by complaining enough xD 
- Endless awesome conversations
- Infinite good vibes 

This is truly wholesome and thank you for all your countless high-quality contributions - not to forget the epic memes and laughs along the way! 

Onwards and Upwards!
Happy 2024

A year end Thank you note

Last Post of this year

"It's that time of the year again—counting accomplishments. I came across a Twitter trend about such posts, and it's heartening to read about people achieving so much, including celebrating those seemingly small victories. As the year ends, I acknowledge those who may not have such so-called accomplishments; I hear you. This year felt monotonous for me, with neither highs nor lows, but looking back, I'm content. The year is over, and I'm optimistic about doing better and executing my plans in the coming year.

Life is good, even when it feels stagnant. Don't be disheartened; it gets better. I've had some of my worst years, but they were followed by great ones. This especially goes out to young individuals entering the workforce—your favorite company or desired CTC might be just around the corner. Keep at it.

Survival is the biggest achievement.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

If I can do it anyone can. being a women and reaching this seems an accomplishment started with 5000 rs salary no one had faith I could do this.

Reached a milestone today! started with 5000rs salary

Wow 🎉🎉 
 Just curious what was the period and what do you do ?

Software Developer

I have been working for the past 8 years and have had a good career so far with a degree from a great college. However i have been feeling very burnt out recently and I'm losing the motivation to do things on my own.

I am considering taking a break for a few months (3-6). I have good savings and minimal debt. My spouse has a stable job so i may be able to afford it. 

I want to use this time to just do nothing for a while, take a few courses and pursue some hobbies. Maybe travel a little bit. 

I want to also use this time to figure out how to break the loop of getting to a burnout stage.

Has anyone ever done something like this? What has your experience been like?

Considering a career break

Product Manager

Real hustlers always hustle 💪🏻

I graduated last year with no job offer from college. And started job hunting, I had 3 internship experiences, still not getting any job. But last December 2022 i got a call from the founder of the early stage startup( bootstrapped), gave a live coding round, and got selected within a day, even in this horrible job market with 7 lpa. 
Now the amazing part is that the technical co-founder was working as a consultant themself for a company and paying me and 2 other peeps from his own salary and still no expectations of overtime and good flexibility, unlimited paid leave,and then after working there for 9 months, finally the founders got funding but now they decided to move to wfo from wfh(with a considerate increment to employees), with which I was not comfortable because I have to relocate (and I have a medication going on from a very specialized doctor from my city), so decided to part ways. And from the past 3 months, i am job hunting, but not even getting an equal opportunity, those 7 lpa feels like 24 lpa coming from a founder who was working a day job to give me and other that opportunity.

This post is an appreciation for all those founders who are working a job or hustling and running a startup in their spare time. Best wishes to you peeps, you may succeed in all pursuits of life.

P.s- The founder gave me 6 days salary also which was equal to my first internship stipend.

Being grateful to my first employer
