Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Tired of working disgustingly pressurising deadlines and work that's never ending. Any idea where the work life is better than tech startups?

How do I get a chill job in India?

Just get a product management job. You can simply mooch on after that. Not just chill

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Been in this company for about 8 months. Company is great but there’s just this team that works on all the important things that’s absolutely hard to keep up with. They don’t share anything with us till the last minute. 
I was asked to share some copy for something and when I asked was more information, I was told that it’s “confidential”. I just pointed out that I can’t do anything about it if I’m not given more info. I’ve been begging for more responsibilities the past couple of months. I’m okay with mediocrity and just warming the bench for a few weeks. But can’t let my career take a fall with that. 
I’ve jumped between jobs too many times, I last a year at best everywhere and I want to stay here for a while and build up. But the more I watch them, making plans with the founders, doing their thing and hiring new people, all the while I’m here asking to be seen, it feels like this is just how it’s going to be. 
I get paid well, I spend only about 2 to 3 hours working everyday. Might sound like the ideal job for some but I definitely feel like if a layoff comes, I’ll bite the dust because I was not given the opportunity to be part of this group and did nothing important.

The core team feels like a gang that everyone else can never infiltrate

Growth Manager

what are some projects or side hustles you have been working on besides your day job? 

I've been wanting to build some AI wrappers but can't find the time. 

is it possible to work on this on weekends/free time?

personal projects/side hustle

Product Manager

I am a BE graduate after college I tried govt exams but  couldn't clear it...after that i learned a software on my own i joined a small company which  trained me little nd projected me as a experienced to a client, i cleared interview and got placed to the client but that project is too complex and even fr small tasks i am taking weeks to complete....daily i feel bad nd humiliated fr not completing tasks and people are not friendly here... Should I see this as an opportunity or this is wrong...will other IT companies to do the same

My company placed me to the Client as Experienced

Software Engineer

As part of the PIP I have been given tasks to do alongside my regular project and they said that they evaluate me based on that.

I'm supposed to do these PIP related tasks outside work hours and weekends.

My TL expects me to give updates on this every single day. Expecting significant updates, knowing clearly I'm supposed to do it outside work hours.

He's the one who put me on PIP by creating a lot of noise, even included the India Head of the company, saying that I'm the person because of whom the project timelines got delayed. Now he's asking me to prioritise the PIP task over the project. He's upset that he's not getting regular updates from me on the PIP task.

This situation is super confusing. Idk what to do. How to manage my time with regular project + PIP task + job search + personal responsibilities + household chores?

I have been put on PIP

So just finished my graduation I thought I'll cry about not having a job but I got a freelancing contract as a technical trainer.

I want to become a software engineer, the current contract pays we somewhat 40-50k pm but work is hectic as I need to put a lot of physical labour,
But the reason I choose this 1. Current market 2. I didn't want to sit unemployed as personal situation is not that good.

So what should I do? Like continue the same and I'm sure they will pay more cuz I got to from the manager that I have a good explanation skills or try to go get another work even it's paying very less.

The reason I'm asking strangers on the net is bcz it's so complicated that I can't even tell my parents about it....

So guys please if you have a suggestion or personal opinion feel free to give.

Help!! I'm in a weird situation

Best time to switch to new company?

Relationship Manager

howdy!!


Folks I need your inputs please. I am a single parent to two kids and have a full time job which is basically the only financial source and now WFH is ending and my problem is:

1. With the role n responsibilities i am fully booked for office work and not able to take care of the kids or house like i want to

2. Even if i hire someone like nanny i still thinking of their safety and activities they r doing bcoz i want to engage them is teaching or making them learn spend time with them as they grow be there for them ( bcoz i know how lonely it is to have working parents) so i don’t want them left with nanny bcoz i believe money can be made again but their childhood will not return 

3. Even if i get a WFH role, my time, energy and thinking capabilities will be taken up by the job only again leaving me less energetic, time to care for my kids

4 Everyone is against me leaving the job bcoz that’s the only financial source I have but i want to shift my stream maybe join as a school admin or start a food business that i can handle without much of mental stress but the pay will be way less

So I am looking for something which gives me the time and mental peace to spend and raise my kids with a decent money to meet the needs. 

What can i do???  please tell me any other way out or a guaranteed income source along with being with my kids

Your thoughts plz

I feel like this is a general problem that people who join startups in really early stages face. They get hired to do a function, then once the startup picks up, someone more senior gets hired and they’re practically demoted. 

This is happening third time to me, but still haven’t figured how to deal with it. The first time, someone from Stanford got hired and I felt really insecure about it. We got along pretty well but I couldn’t take that we were of the same age and this person was managing me despite me being around in the company for longer. 

That person left, my function was changed as well and again after a year, I was layered by another person. 

I just joined a new company four months ago and feel like the same thing is about to happen. I know they’re hiring someone. Makes me feel anxious about how I’ll lose ownership of things I’ve been doing and I haven’t even gotten the chance to prove myself yet. 

Do I just wait it out? Or talk to the founders about it? I understand where they come from, they do what’s best for the company. But I feel like I should look out for myself as well.

Startup folks - How did you get ahead in your career after being layered?

What’s the dumbest thing you’ve heard your boss say ?

I’ll go first,

“I don’t care if you’re hospitalised you should have informed this earlier “

Also same boss 

I won’t be coming to work today as my wife’s mother’s dog needs to be taken to the vet

Dumb Things Your Bosses Say?

Assistant Manager

Currently an intern for a XYZ company, pretty good, compensation is pretty good, I'm an SDE intern, the team which im in is platform engineering, should I switch the role which has something more based on the heavy coding side?

I don't see myself beyond 5 years here, would this team matter when it comes while making a switch?

Advice needed for intern role

I just got a offer from one Indian Finance company for Pune location (I would have to relocate). They are giving 13.90 LPA, out of which 11 is fixed and 2.75 is performance pay. They have alternate Saturday working policy, WFO, strict office timings and lots of workload sometimes more than 9 hours of working.

What they have to offer is good appraisal cycle (> 10%), and a promotion in 18 months. 

Now my challenge is I joined a MNC X org in the second month of March with 12.55 LPA (10.5 is fixed and 1.26 is performance pay).

What they have to offer is Hybrid, chill environment, free lunch, good medical benefits, and WLB. What they don’t offer is good appraisal ( they have standard appraisal policy same for everyone around 4-7%) and promotion.

I’m confused on what to do!! 
I’m open to working on Saturday and with heavy workload, as the money is priority. But since I already joined company X and people here are so good. 

I’m looking for any suggestions or your personal experience. 

Note: I didn’t told to Indian finance company that I joined MNC X. And the profile is in Analytics one is BFSI and another one is HR.

I’m confused. Need help!!

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I have been assigned a task, and to be honest I have been procrastinating a lot. I don’t feel like delivering the task on time. My director product has followed up with me multiple times. 

What should I do? Give me some creative answers.

Received an offer from Microsoft

You should go for Microsoft even if it isn't optimal at the moment in terms of cash component. In the long run this will pay off by opening a lot more doors in tier1 and FAANG companies or you might get chance to also move onsite to US where you can earn a lot more. ESOPs have no value until the startups make an exit - where the odds are highly against you. Probability would be less than 1%. I've worked with multiple startups and learnt this the hard way. Also as you move up the levels, it gets increasingly more competitive to get into tier1 companies. So get into it while you can.. and think of long term than short term salary deficit. It will pay off..

Director Product

I am a PM at an edtech startup. The company is not doing well and my boss is not a good leader. Although company has a runway of 2 years. For the past 3 months I have been doing program management. No product management related work at all. No one appreciates you here. It's mentally challenging to work here. No road map for myself. No appraisal. I'm just going on the job for salary. For the past week, I have been thinking about quitting and taking a break. Then look for a job. I know the market is tough but I have runway for 4-5 months. I have a total of 3 years of Product experience. 

What should you guys suggest. I really need your help here.

Should I quit my job?!

I'm a 2022 graduate working in as an analyst in a service based analytics firm. For the past 1-1.5 we have been getting close to no work from our client (avg. actual work 2hr/day) but I have to fulfill 8 hours and stay late for meetings sometimes. I'm looking for suggestions on how to make better use of my time in office since switching right now is not easy.

No work coming to my team

Business Analyst

Hey guys, i'm planning to switch my company after 8 months in the company and there is a notice of 2 months so that would be 10 months in the company. I feel out of place here, though I have delivered so far (6 months) because i'm picking tasks which I know, I don't know how long it will last. I'm stuck in a client project and i'm scared that if I get something I don't know and I don't deliver, I'll be yelled at. I'm looking for companies with good work life balance and culture, non client work. Below are the companies I know which have good culture

1. SAP labs
2. NatWest Group
3. Fidelity International
4. American Express


Do you guys know any other good companies with good culture, work life balance and preferably non client work.
