It's been so difficult these days.

All I want to do is get out of the rut I'm in. 

Upskilling, working, interviewing, applying, cooking food, working out etc is sooo draining. Some days, I just want to sleep. 

I don't know how you all do it. 
The rejections and the hot weather don't make it easier. 

Any advice?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Same as title. These days due to low job security and having faced layoff last year, I always feel the need to continuously do interview prep like DSA, LLD, etc even when I am not actively looking for a job. Plus, due to new technologies coming up, I feel the need to keep upskilling too. If I don't upskill or do interview prep continuously, I feel guilty as if I am wasting time. I feel like at this point, I am just living life to upskill and interview prep. Is there a way to balance all this along with work as it gets very tiring after a while and I feel burnt out?

How's the Job Market 😔

Hello folks,

I am facing a time management hurdle. I am doing a full time job which takes 9 hrs of my time. Office days you can make it 10. I am also prepping for my GMAT and aiming for a good score (already cancelled my previous 700 in older format, aiming for a 715+ in new GMAT FE). I have gained a bit of weight and BMI is slid into overweight by a narrow margin (83.5 kgs and 181 cms). I am also learning a few things related to my current job to upgrade myself.

So I need to balance: job, prep, health and learning, all seeming mandatory at this point.

I work 2PM - 11PM, have househelp for cleaning and a cook for cooking.

People who have done this before, how did you manage? I am finding it extremely difficult. In theory, it looks easy as there are 24 hrs you know it's not the case. Between all the things I need to catch small breaks as well.

Need advise.

What is the morale of employees in company where layoff happens

Android Engineer

Hi folks,
It’s a very detrimental time for me. I have been working with an organisation I don’t want to name. My manager is beyond Toxic, each day there hasn’t been a single day he hasn’t yelled at me and few other new folks in the team regardless of us doing heavy sweeping.

He is so Toxic that even through I have leaves he does not approve them, recently someone in my family passed away even through I discussed I will be out of station and would be on leave to which he agreed. He has rejected it on the 2nd last day, when I have booked the flights and assured my family that I will be there at this grave time when they need me. 

I am at a point where he has pushed me to a point wherein I don’t have an option but to resign which he did around the financial year closing so the increment will be divided amongst less number of people. 

I have an education loan to look after and responsibilities of my parents, I am the single  breadwinner in the family at this point of time. Hanging in there is becoming really difficult. 

Any advice or help would really help.

I work in a well know product company but still I am unable to get any interview calls or even a email. Once I apply, all I am getting is rejection mail or no response. Is my resume bad? I have gotten promotion in my current job and also did some great achievements. What am I missing?

Hey Viners, how do we tackle Monotony in an Ops role where we have to do the same thing again and again and there is no real work and growth . I feel kinda numb by it and creativity takes a hit . How do we tackle the depression arising from a very boring and montonous work ? 

Please advise, 
Job market down so finding other job openings became very hard !! 

How do we escape from this Mind Numbing Ops work and transition to something better like Engineering, Analytics etc.

Monotony in job !!

I know most of us don't have a choice as we need to earn to make our livelihood, but what keeps you going day in and day out? Or do you just wait for the weekends. I think very few people get to do what they love doing. So how do you get through the week ? What do you tell yourself ?

How do you guys get through workdays ?

8 interviews, 2 case studies and over 25 hours of time spent for one role....Finally rejected. Give me some hope folks

The job market right now is just terrible

Finance Consultant

Currently I’m a software engineer in corporate. But now my company has full demotivated environment and I’m not able to work or deliver my tasks.
I’m applying for other companies also . But don’t even get interviews scheduled.

What should i do?
Should i go for govt jobs also?
Should i resign first then decide?
Should i continue working ?
Should i think about career switching?

My brain itself is not braining , and filled with such thoughts.

What to do?

Hello everyone, 
How is your interview preparation going on ? And do you also find it re starting it again while working in a company in parallel ? 
My story is I have 9-6 working hours but sometimes stretch it in night too. Whenever I plan on doing DSA either i find it too boring or my streak gets broken due to company work. 
Any plan on how to do both parallel? 
Thank you

As the title says, because I don't get time for that. I only study on weekends. I have heard many people upskill with their jobs. How do you guys do it? What am I missing?

Hi everyone, hope everyone is fine and doing good.

I got laid off in March and since then I have been actively applying but not able to even get interviews. I just don't understand what to do now and i am not in a good state of mind.

Any suggestions, anyone ?

I have 8 years of work ex. and have been looking for a job in strategic marketing/digital marketing for over a year now. It's mentally exhausting and demotivating. Is this how tough it generally is?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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?!

Product Manager

I’m currently in the thick of job hunting, and I have to say, it really feels like a full-time job. Anyone else feel the same way? I thought I’d share my experience and see if others can relate or offer some advice.

Every day, I wake up early, make my coffee, and sit down at my computer to start the job search. I spend hours scrolling through job boards, tweaking my resume, writing cover letters, and filling out applications. It’s incredibly time-consuming and can be pretty disheartening, especially when you don’t hear back at all for months. I’ve come to this conclusion that this whole job searching is more stressful than a full time job. This is a lonely flight and the worst part- there’s zero pay, only a hope for a better tomorrow. 

So, I’m curious, how do you all manage the job hunting process? How do you handle the emotional ups and downs on an almost daily basis?

Why does searching for a job feel like a full-time job?

Need a senior advice, I have recently graduated with a cs related degree and constantly applying for jobs but have no luck it's almost one month, and tbh I must get a job this month and I am stressed about it

I have the skills needed for the market still have no luck in finding a job, cold-emailed, and DM'ed to the employees working in the company I'm applying for. Didn't even get a single response from them Don't know what to do . 

I know many people got jobs even during this rough recession . I really wonder how they have passed this stage . It's really stressful and exhausting
