Some recruiter from this company reached out to me. I replied. Never heard back.

What role were they offering? What interested you? It is very unclear on what they actually do

Product Manager

Didn't mention much. Some startups begin in stealth mode, so maybe they are option for that route.

How many developers went on to write code for it.
How many days it took to complete each of their works.
Make it a story thread starting from who did architecture and lead. Please share your story!

Maybe we all need, given all fights and cringes continuously blabbering and fighting. let's change weather for some time and let me earn 🍇.

AMA GrapeVine, tech stack, and all

Solution Architect

I have 3 years of experience in frontend. I usually look for jobs by creating profile on Naukri and expecting calls from recruiters. Also, I apply directly on company portals.

My question to the grapevine community is how should I find good companies?

What I usually do is search up great places to work list or top tech companies on G2. I also apply based on LinkedIn jobs / posts about openings and from Instahyre and Wellfound. Sometimes I do ask for referrals.

Is there any other ways to look up on good tech companies? What do other grapeviners do?

Rounding up 2023, all of us learnt a ton. I'm sharing this one website which I found extremely interesting. It covers some fundamental mental models which would be helpful to many here.

Looking forward to what other Grapeviners 🍇 were upto this year.

I saw the founders' posts about hiring for Grapevine. Did you guys raise funds? If not, how is this being funded? How do you plan to monetize? What's next for Grapevine?

How is Grapevine doing?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I’ll go first.

To me, it’s all about access. 
Access to authentic ideas.

The best search result you get on Google is high SEO but low authenticity. On LinkedIn, there are so many people but everyone is shilling a course or 1:1 resume reviews. 

Mostly it has become a place which started as vanity signalling 

Like
( I have started a new role…, I have been accepted at …, I have received offers from F, A, N and G and I’m joining G.)  

And now people pushing mindless content with “Agree?” or “Comment Interested”.

Somehow, everyone is truly inauthentic to please a wider audience and say the exact same generic gyaan to maximise engagement.

For now, Grapevine is where people are genuinely themselves and I get to hear interesting things that you get to hear near the coffee machine.

Kinda feels like we’re all a big community where we all contribute and learn new things about the professional landscape around us.

Godspeed Grapevine. 🚀

Hola Grapeviners! I would love to know why are you on the platform?

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

It announced fundrise from peakXV (previously Sequoia).

From what I can deduce, they diluted a bit too much. But, I hope that the founding team makes a good one from this!

Cheers Michael bhai!

Badhai ho grapevine!

Product Owner

As reports suggest that grapevine is raising money from Peak Fifteen (previously Sequoia), will they allow negative posts about their portfolio companies on the platform?

Peak Fifteen has a record of controlling the media narratives for their portfolio companies before, hope they don't kill this platform!

A thought on grapevine 💭

Did sequoia have an ownership target? How does your team and you feel post the funding? What can we expect as a next step? How soon will the monetisation bug kick in?

Grapevine funding analysis

Hope you all are doing great.

So I have a question in my mind regarding this company called Jobsurance.

What do you guys think of the business model and overall use case of this company which is betting on an insurance on a job?
