So I’ve only been at my job for 3 months & don’t get me wrong, I love a lot of it, but even before I started, I knew it wasn’t something I wanted to do long term. The position is EXTREMELY underpaid for all of the work you have to do & stress you deal with. 

Do I continue to work here so it looks good on a resume or do I begin to seek happiness in a new job that is long term & better paying?

I took the best offer I could get in the job market 3 months ago when things were gloomy.. I'm arguably getting paid close to market salary.
But I see way better opportunities opening up recently and I badly want to apply. I'm afraid having such a short tenure in a company will not look good on my resume. Am I over thinking?

3 months into my new job and feeling FOMO because the job market is back.

Staff Engineer

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

So, my current job is something I don't like. I don't enjoy it as it is almost stagnant. There's no work, but there's still this anxiety of work. The company doesn't know what it is doing, so even I have no work that I can do.

This doesn't align with my career goals and I feel like every day I spend in this company, I'm literally destroying my career in long term.

I want to resign, but the market is bad, specially for product roles. But I can't work here anymore. What should I do?

Should I leave my job?

Why switch? Why not switch? What were the motivations that you had when you thought of switching and whether the result was favourable to you or not?

Switch or no switch, that is the question

Consultant

Context: I am 22 years old with a BBA degree from a tier 1 college. After college, worked as intern with a few online marketing startups for around 4-5 months, Post that joined a fintech company as an intern setting up a new vertical that they're building( part of first few hires). I've worked here for around 6 months as an intern and now that my internship is coming to an end I've been told that full time conversion is off the table but they'll gladly extend my internship period. 
Reason: performace not good enough.

I feel purely from an opportunity standpoint continuing here would be great for me as there's a lot of scope for learning and growth however what makes me anxious is the fact that this wouldn't reflect well in my CV and hence would probably be a potential bottleneck in the future wrt higher education or switching companies for that matter.

Growth Manager

So this past month has been a hell of roller coaster ride.

I was desparately looking for job in March and found a great org and joined it on May end. Now here I am realising most of my work is very clerical/commercial in nature.

Now a great opportunity opened up in my prev org and my ex manager referred me there and its a great IT implementation role. This will help me in pivoting to IT and if I learn some coding I can even get into development.

Meanwhile I have also received a MS admit from Europe and Loan is also sanctioned for the same.

I intend to join the prev role as it would help me boost my career prospects but I am not able to decide which reason to give to my current employer for leaving?

Should I tell the truth or lie about going for MS?

Btw PF account is yet to be generated for new employer.

Need your help and opinions guys

Supply Chain Manager

If frequent job switch does matter then how frequent? Every 6 months is frequent or every 1 year is frequent?

What other criteria do you also see?

While hiring, do you really care about a candidate’s frequent job switch or just skill set?

When I was job hunting a few months back, I told the head hunter that a couple of companies she proposed was not something I believed in, in the nicest way possible. Maybe a dick move, idk. She told me it’ll be impossible for me to find a job in this market if this was my attitude. 

After that, a month later, she ghosted me when I asked her if she has any leads. I spoke to a few friends and they said it’s a good thing to want to truly believe in what the company does and few told me it didn’t matter. 

To me it does, because I have always worked in very early startups and I see my time also as an investment. And not to mention, early stage startups are tedious to work in. You lose your motivation if you don’t feel like you’re contributing to a great extent in multiple areas. 

What’s your take on it? Is it alright as long as you get the money in your account?

How many of you truly believe in what you do at work?

Was laid off, took a pay cut to join this (maybe desperation took better of me)
Now the workload is too much, the founder cracks disrespectful jokes, and vibes are just too off

I am not enjoying the work
I was detesting going to work the first Monday itself 😔 

This is also not aligned to how I imagined my life, off the track really

Should I resign?

Less than a month in new job, I feel stuck. Should I resign?

Corporate Strategist

Should I take up a job offer which offers me a peace of mind but not much of a hike or stay within the current organisation get the appraisal which is somewhat similar to the new offer. 

Early in my career the main reason I’m even considering the job offer is that the current organisation the work culture has gone to $#! . It’s basically working on favouritism, unrealistic targets and no work life balance at all.

I am in a company where people are increasingly becoming less cooperative and ego has increased with stiff competition around. I have been in this company for 1 year they have been promising for IPO but its all in loss since 2019.  Tech is not latest Monolith with Java-Sping-boot and Angular.

How long should I keep working at toxic environment where I'm being scolded even when I'm doing best. 
It's affecting my productivity now.

I love my job but I'm at very toxic environment

UX/UI Designer

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I think about seriously quitting my job atleast once every few months but I've stuck it out here for almost 3 years now.

I don't know if it's just me but the idea of putting myself out there and starting afresh at a new company is just terrifying -  the struggle to find something exciting but stable, being evaluated at interviews all over again, the uncertainty of fitting into a new team and having to prove myself all over again at a new work place - all of this just puts me off from taking any real action

I see everyone around me talking about career growth and taking up new opportunities. And rationally, I get it.  I get that there are tons of benefits to changing jobs - better salary, escaping a toxic workplace, etc. etc. I truly admire people who make these frequent shifts - seriously, how do people navigate this?

Job Switching is not for me

U guys are lucky to have job in product based companies: 
  
 We, in service based have to give interviews every now and then as the project changes. So as a byproduct we are kind of used to interviews 😂 (cry aa rha)

Growth And Strategy

Alright I’ll keep my rant short. After working insane hours for an year or so (and learning A LOT), I started exploring other jobs with better pay and work life balance. I came across model risk management (validation/governance whatever you call it) and it seemed interesting to me. I took it, and it turned out to be a big mistake. Although the pay is good, but I don’t think I’m learning even a fraction of what my previous job offered. 

I’ve been interviewing for the past 3 months and the extent of brain decay caused by a laid back job is getting more and more apparent.
The industry expects me to have certain skills which I clearly lack now. I wish to quit my job and do something that helps me build hard skills relevant in the industry.

If there is anyone who has worked in model risk management, I’d love to connect and understand their perspective.

I want to quit my job

Risk Analytics

Currently I’m working with a finance company as a operations manager for an year now. It is my first full time job after graduating. I only have one year of experience as of now. 
The thing is altho my role is completely remote and I’m getting around 80k per month, and work life balance is good. I don’t get much work load but I’m not getting any new skills and also I don’t enjoy the role or the company. 

I want to pursue a career as a Security analyst or similar domain but it’s hard to get into this department. 

Should I continue in this company or switch to another with my preferred role.

Systems Analyst

So I’ve been with my firm for almost 8 years now and honestly it’s become more of a second home for me. I honestly want more exposure and experience different office culture but it’s difficult to leave a job that I got through when I was in college. Am I the only one feeling this way? Any suggestions/recommendations appreciated!

How to Quit your first job?

Operation Manager

I am thinking of leaving my current job and focus on myself, getting to know myself better etc. Currently I have enough money saved for my expenses for next 6-8 months. 
   Everyone I have asked about this say don't leave your job if you don't have another lined up, in this tech winter. I understand their view point. It aligns with what my parents think as well.

Is there anyone who has had done this in the past? Do you recommend this route? Are the consequences far too severe? Does anyone have a different opinion from one stated above?

Anyone ever left job without having another job lying around for their mental peace?

I'm in the same boat, on the verge of quitting, and will most probably take the leap next month.  
 Thanks for the thread. A lot of insights. It has made me confident that I'm not doing anything stupid.

Software Engineer

Right now I am looking for a new job because of a layoff in my own company. I have recently applied for a new job. I didn't get a hike and they even decreased the basic pay in their shared CTC Structure. The in-hand is the same as my previous company but my basic salary is impacted. Should I accept the offer or let it go?

Should I accept the offer or let it go?

Data Analyst

I'll set the context here.

I was suppose to join a new organisation in the start of the year but it went on a hiring freeze immediately after my notice ended with my then employer.

I ended up accepting the first offer that came my way. It was not of my desired profile but it was better than being jobless.

Now, couple of months into the new job, I realize this is a very toxic place to be. Dormant founders only caring about money, rampant nepotism, no clear path for career growth.

It is becoming difficult to sustain at this place. I've been trying but now I can feel my mental health dwindling because of it. I dread going to office everyday. But again, in this job market, atleast I have a job.

The product role I mentioned is still on pipeline but no one knows when the freeze will end. My hiring manager and HR are pushing for my candidature (according to them) but management isn't allowing them to move ahead with new hires.

Now my question is, should I quit my job and try finding my desire role (which seem like a humongous task) or stay put and wait for a offer to come and then leave my current employer?

I'm torn. I dread going to office everyday. I don't know how much do I have it in me to keep continuing but I'm pushing my limits.

Want some advice from fellow grapeviners here. TIA!

Should I leave my toxic work environment with no backup in a job market like this?

Analyst

In August, I joined a new organization following the closure of my previous one. Things are going exceptionally well – my manager is pleased with my performance, and I'm learning a great deal. Workload is manageable, and during a casual web browse, I discovered high-paying job openings in my field. Now, I'm contemplating whether pursuing interviews is the right move, given the rare opportunities. I've had one-year stints at two previous companies; I'm curious about the potential impact on my career. Appreciate your insights.
