Why not switch the company instead, see how it goes

Software Engineer

Sometimes I want to leave my Job,

But then I realised, Sometimes I also want to jump from the 6th floor, but I don't.

So keep patience and trust the process.

How does my mind change?- Grapevine

I have been working in MNC for 1.5 years now and most people who joined with me are switching to different companies. I have plans to go for higher studies so not focussing so much on switching. Not sure whether I am doing the correct thing or not. 
People in my company are like "Bro tum kab jayega aur kitna din idhar".

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I interned at a company for more than 10 months.
Gave my heart and soul to it
They made me work late nights, gave me so much work
I completed them all
And now they denied a full time offer citing budget reasons
I feel like a loser now. This is so not fair. Now placements at college are also over so theres no hope left
Completely loss of words.
I don't know what to do
Can someone please guide me

Feeling dejected, demotivated, loser

Two days back I had a call with Walmart Hr regarding offer. I gave my previous compensation 22 l fixed 2 bonus 5 per year esops. 
I said 29 L fix as expectation. (Though I am okay with better than 22 l ) as I know I have very less skills and I need to learn a lot to get a good salary tbh.
I joined as SDE last company but exited as sde 2. My increment would have happened in October but got laid off in Sept. 
So she said no for this salary and didn't give a good feeling that a good salary she will propose and said we can't give this definitely be ready for negotiation kind off.

So. Are there any points that I can use for negotiation?
I am an immediate joiner. 
If I join Walmart then it would be my 3rd company in 3.5 years of my career and j don't want to make job hops.

I have nobody who can give me some advice.


So, in my head I think I can take whatever my salary is and after working on my weak areas are and then after 1.5 years change to a better company but another job hop will happen.
I am not working since the past 5 months. 
Don't know how to handle thoughts in my head.
Please guide.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I would like to discuss the coping strategies people use when suffering from prolonged unemployment.

Please share your stories as a guide for others 

I left my job in December in a pre seed startup and unable to find a new one. Got few interviews but end up being ghosted. 

I have 3 years of experience as a product manager in fintech Startups but currently no leads in pipeline 

I am distressed due to prolonged unemployment I am facing with uncertainty about the future. 

How would you recommend someone to cope with this situation

Unemployment, how to manage it?

I woke up with a notification that started with “Hope you had a great weekend. Unfortunately…”

I didn’t have the courage to open the entire mail. I knew what it was. 

A little context here, i have been unemployed for the last 5 months. I got laid off from my first job with not even an year of work experience. We all know how bad the market condition is, and how harsh it is for freshers. Me being the optimistic person that i am, ignored all these setbacks and began my hunt for my next dream job. With the help of my friends, I started preparing for interviews. I was lucky enough to get shortlisted for few good companies. But somehow or the other things always went south and i ended up without an offer. I made sure to not get disheartened and keep trying my best with a positive attitude. And then i interviewed with this one company, that perfectly aligned with me. All my interviews went well and made it till the final round. Now it was a call from the leadership. I strongly believed that this is my shot. After months of feeling stuck, I thought this is going to be my moment of relief. Even though this journey was hard i made sure to enjoy every bit of it. 

But now here i am with another rejection mail. I am now questioning my entire belief system. And not sure what to do next.

Any advice/suggestions are welcome :)

How hurt are you today?

Being anonymous gives me a safe space. But life is getting tougher than ever each day.  
I wish I had a better paying job. I wish I had time to have slow mornings. 
I wish I could provide for my family and give them the things they much deserve. 

I wish I had a chance to rewire rewind and restart. 

I wish I could do more than I wish to do. 

It's all wishes guys . It's all hopes. .
Nothing seems fulfilling. Nothing seems to make me happy. 

I have forgotten what carefree days were like. 

Adulting is kinda hitting hard. I am not able to cope up. 
Can someone relate?

It's hard to manage work and life

Consultant

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

Growth and strategy

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I started with a job of 8k/month as a data entry operator after my B.Tech from an expensive tier 4 college which I paid for using an education loan.  
Had major inferiority complex. Probably still do.
Took some 5 years years after b.tech to pay that off. Didn't have a job in 2 of those years. 
Worked as a milkman for those two years.
Anyway..somehow I got a meaningful job in 2017 and today I am a tech lead with 70L base and some equity.
Reached this giant(atleast in my mind) milestone of 1 Cr this month.
Could not have even dreamt of this much money some 5 years back.
Yet, now some family members and family tell me "tukka lag gya tera" (you got lucky).

But I keep feeling that I did kinda work hard for this in a way but it hurts when a first uncle or first cousin says "Tukka lag gya tera".
Ofcourse now I feel financially confident(somewhat) and I try enjoy whatever pressures I can.

Just wanted to share my little story.

Reached 1Cr Net Worth yesterday

I am a fresher doing b.tech in cse, I don't have a job right now, my previous company declined thr joining due to which I was not able to apply for other jobs coming on campus. My friends got job somewhere, I feel very disappointed in myself and I can't see my family lower their expectations in me. Mentally I am not in the state to do anything, I think my life is falling apart although it didn't even start. I am lacking motivation, I cry all the times thinking what will happen now. My father is retired, he's getting old, I want to give him that luxury and things but I can't get success thay easily. I am struck at the lowest point in my life. Even my friends are not helping me. I don't share my feelings with anyone. I don't know what to do should I look for a job or start preparing for MBA or MS in USA. I know this point came in life of many people, please help out I can't see myself going anywhere.

Don't have a job and going to graduate in 1 month

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I am a middle class guy working as a senior engineer in one of the product companies. I belong from the north-east, and I am the only child in my family. 

Since covid, I was working in a wfh setup. Recently, my company has ended work from home for everyone, and I am supposed to move to Bangalore very soon or quit. 

I am an active user on all social media groups on Reddit, Fb, etc. For the past couple of months after seeing so much of negative news about Bangalore, Especially the high population, skyrocketing rents, the auto unions, corruption, cut-throat competition, discriminative news, traffic issues, etc. It makes me nervous to be honest. My wfh here was pretty chill, and I had a very limited social circle here, but was satisfied since I could spend most time with my mom and dad. 

Im very afraid now about what should I do next, shall I quit the job and search for wfh, or shall I make my move. I don’t have any acquaintances there, no friends, no idea about what I’ll be doing next, how to start house hunting, or job hunting. At this point I am miserable and overwhelmed to think about all of this. 

Anyone who has gone through all of these, If you can share your 2cents, experiences or thoughts, about how you dealt this phase. It will be really helpful for me at this point in my journey. Thanks in advance! 🙏🏻
