Book a room in your office and mark the event as private. Ensure you pick a after lunch slot so the chance of someone coming to find you for a urgent task are less.

Ofc laptop has sometimes restrictions on personal usage and then also sometimes screen sharing is needed to code in online IDEs which might be blocked/inaccessible in system.So need to plan these beforehand.Basically these issue are there in WITCH companies don't know about others.

Take personal laptop to office, if it is not allowed in, deposit it at reception, post lunch time, take the laptop and go to any nearby coffee shop (3rd wave guys have some great spacious places!) or any quieter area. Only problem I see with this is, the network speed, may be arrange some fast speed 5G dongle somehow?🤔

Leave managing. Take my interview pls 🤣🤣

Interviews + WFO - How?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I have been on a permanent wfh role since covid. Yes, been 2+ years since I stepped into an office. I stay alone and have little expenses but also 0 social life. Friends are all spread out. Not on any dating app because its exhausting. Can someone just talk about any impacts on their personal life from work life? Does anyone here feel a void too? I’d love to connect.

WFH = 0 Social Life

I have been working remotely and honestly, I don't want to go to office ever (at least that's what I feel right now) 
  
 I don't want to become besties with my coworkers, and I stay with family so I'm very happy spending all my time with my favourite people in the world! I also have the option of traveling and have decided to take an out of Delhi trip every 2 months at least 
  
 I might be biased, because my parents and immediate family are professionals as well and have home offices, so all my life, I've had the kind of atmosphere where offices don't play a huge role, so I'm happy! 
  
 But yes, I suppose I do get the socialising aspect, it becomes harder to make friends as one grows older, especially when all your school/college friends have office jobs 🙃🙃

Operations Manager

Hi guys, I'm thinking of starting interview prep but not able to get motivation for doing so. My current company has slowly started becoming toxic and the pay disparity among the employees of same level is huge. 

Although the pay thing was not a major issue few months back, the toxicity has started affecting me.

Now coming back to the point, being in bangalore, doing daily WFO, I'm not able to find time during weekdays and on weekends either I'm exhausted or occupied with some household work.

Can you guys please drop in your tips on how guys pull off preparing while working?

PS: I'm currently working as an SDE 2 and looking for senior SDE 2 roles.

Motivation for Interview prep

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 💀

Mandatory WFO - Should I look out for new roles?

How do you give interviews for different orgs if you are working on a totally on-site role.

Do you take multiple leaves in between?
Suggest some tips?

Give interviews while working in-site

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

developers in my team are giving 1 hr interviews so swiftly while being on office. As most of my experiences are from home, how do you guys manage giving interviews from office?
Spell out some tricks and process 😬

Giving interviews in office like a PRO

I have got 2 offers, one for Hyderabad location (14.5, all fixed, as they have shared space office as of now, so initially it would be WFH & once they get a proper office after some months, 2-3days WFO hybrid), & one for Pune location (16 fixed, plus some variable and other benefits, hybrid from Starting, 2days WFO)

Is it worth to do WFO from starting for more money or settle for less now & go to office after some months? Are there any real pros of WFO? I haven't done WFO in my 3 year IT career

Pune vs Hyd, Which offer to choose

Folks ,Please correct me if i am wrong favouring Work from home , instead of WFO, as quite many are in strong favor of WFO and their narrative is office bring collaborative, conducive/ fostering environment to professional growth as we are in constant engagement with our peers , attending seminars , bootcamps , events , games or any volunteer activities .Overall this transform our cognitive ability towards higher versioning of ourself ...

What are you favouring for WFH or WFO ?

Your Stand on WFO or WFH

Product Marketing Manager

Hi folks,

I'm looking forward to an engg role where the team is distributed in 2 to 3 countries. Both my Reporting Manager and Sr. EM sit in the US and are of Chinese origin. Rest 3 to 4 Devs are in Bangalore and rest in other South East Asian country. 

Work and tech wise it's pretty good. Interesting product with great tech to work with. WLB is good. WFO is 3 days a week. Comp is also good.

I'm supposed to have standup/product meetings starting mostly from 9 or 10 am for timezone overlap with manager 1:1 scheduled once every week and wrap up the day by 5 or 6 pm. Should I accept the role or reject it?
