Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

Hey folks,
 
 Just came to know about this platform called techgig having multiple challenges, skill-test , hackathons . I just wanted to check if the certifications i get after completion of above will be relevant in industry or not

Techgig platform feedback

Data engineer

I know hiring tech is nothing new, but still many issues persist. 

We are planning to build a platform which will focus on solving many issues with the current interview system in an innovative/futuristic manner. 

We'll utilise AI/LLM based solutions wherever possible, although the focus is on solving the core problem.

Mostly it will be a B2B SaSS type, focusing on hiring designers/developers etc.

What are the various issues you have faced during your interview process which you feel should have been solved by now? doesn't matter how big/small it is, if it has bothered you ever, please comment about it.

[Startup Idea Validation] Hiring Tech

Senior Software Engineer

Hey fam,

I want to know, if some of you were able to crack the code of Global Remote jobs?  If yes, how did you found out about the job and approached? 

I have seen people pretty hesitant about saying how they found out the job. Don’t understand this. But will rant about this someday. 

*Wanted to ask here especially because this a pretty niche community of techies out there.

Has anyone come across people losing job because of chatgpt? 
I think many people foresee that happening but i am more curious to know how do you feel about that in Indian tech sector.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

If you are in the product management domain,u must have seen people post their product teardowns on linkedin,such as "ordering food on zomato", "playing a song on spotify" or writing a review on myntra etc.

These just seem plainass dumb to me and involve zero thinking and seems to be just ppt making exercises.I get it if you are exploring a new product or not one used before,but making teardowns on such common products??Do these even help in any way??

I get it that trying and testing a product is the first step to understand any problems in it but what is the need to make a ppt out of *just trying it*,that is like a 10 15 minute work for most of the consumer facing products.

Is there any sound to this madness or do you agree with me?

Rant about product tear downs on linkedin

Product Manager

A friend of me, did his btech from one of the top and oldest iit, in core branch, average with  tech skillset and profile. Howver, despite he not looking for a job right now, is still getting approached by recruiters. Whereas, my other friend, with great skillset and profile, is hardly getting noticed. The same is applicable to salary as well. Iitian gets more pay for same role and yoe. So yeah, college tag matters

College tag MATTERS!!!!

Software Developer

Somebody I know is joining GeekyAnts. They want to know more about it. If you have any idea, what do you think about it?

What do you think of GeekyAnts in Bangalore?

Founder

Found these 2 unique websites to try and practice coding.

Project Euler- Mostly mathematical questions but mind blowing.

Rosalind - Bioinformatics based but helpful for all engineers.

Please share your views and other alternate platforms if aware.

amazing portal for coding problems

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?

Job Search

I am a fresher 2023 graduate and have been doing this (applying for jobs) for almost a year, everyone said you have to do internships as it is necessary so did 2 internships one for a year and another for 6 months but apparently no one counts internships as experience even jobs that had 1-3 yoe as requirement and now everyone's hiring 2024 grads as freshers (I tried to look for another internship but there were none during the time of placements).

I am now tired of this field, many full stack devs don't know shit outside Javascript world and many of them can't even use tools like git properly and are so cocky of themselves. 

Saw an SDE on twitter who apparently has 6 years of experience, doesn't even know how to configure multiple SSH and says managing multiple ssh is a downside. A women dev (cause in India you have engineers and female engineers apparently) doesn't know about sidebar cache and calls it a bug and she's in google. and If I try to roast these people with my real name there's a whole cabal of Banglorians who will grab their macbooks inside third wave coffee and start tweeting against me after aggressively drinking their Chocolate mocha frappe.

Just go into any random tech twitter space no one seems to be talking about tech it's always about DSA, interviews, LIFE IN BANGLORE, which cafe they visited.

I let myself believe tech was my passion and worked hard  for but Indian techies and companies are worst, this generation thinks they are better than their predecessor but follow the same politics everywhere even when it comes to Tech communities (who tf does politics in a community that produces open source code wtf).

They talk about networking and creating a community all the time but can't even respond to linkedin cold dm and blame the sender by nitpicking about the format 👏👏 and then they'll go on post the screenshot and rant how it's the sender fault to even try to network with them with a message that isn't written from their own blood.

Tech rant

Bangalore tech scene is weird man. I feel even the auto driver knows how to code and the third wave barista is definitely doing leetcode because that coffee & sandwich clearly don't take 15 minutes to make

I was thinking that many people while searching for  the first job got placed while in college if you folks are from Tier 1/Tier 2 college or have done some great internships and apply to job portals like linkedin/naukri.com but nowadays even applying via LinkedIn or having a good profile doesn't seem
 to work given the current market and saturation specially for entry level product management roles.

Have you ever went to Bengaluru/gurugram explored different domains and tried to meet in person with the people in startups rather than applying through online portals and thought that it's a better way to get a job .

Have you done this for getting your first job??

Hi guys, this thread is basically for the help. Please post if your team is hiring for Software Engineers. It will help people who are looking for a job change.

Ask me your question. I'll be back at 8 pm and begin answering!

I'm Arnav Gupta, Director of Engineering at Jio Cinema. Ask me anything!

Intern

Daily I see some posts on some senior engineering people joining rippling. It may be some Senior engineer or Senior Manager.

I heard they are paying almost US level salaries to people. 

Can some people from rippling confirm these ? 
- Is there really that much requirement ? 
- Are they really paying 1Cr above for staff and Em levels ? 
- Is the company generating good revenue? 
- Are they moving teams from US to india ? 
- Howiz the work culture in the company? 

Am just really curious about this organisation.

Why is Rippling hiring Rapidly?

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

From the last few days there were talks going on about layoffs in Morgan Stanley. Some 7% of the global staff will be handed over the pink slip in this week. 
Well... It started happening from today ... Few colleagues from my department were laid, and the reason being "company is trying to survive in the market, company is planning the road ahead by taking such bold steps".
When this was announced, my anxiety shot up the next level and I couldn't wait for the meeting to finish.
The past few years have not been great for the business worldwide due to which many companies are forced to take such steps. These companies just have been doing a hiring spree from the last 1-2 years that now they are regretting their decisions and letting off their employees.
My question is - "If a company hires excessively during the bull market and is forced to lay off few of the employees during the downturn, has the company made an error by not evaluating the headcount or it was just simply the need of the hour" 
 
Please note - I know many people out there who have faced job cuts due to many factors, sincerely requesting people to take this matter very seriously

Layoffs - A complete mess made by the companies

Analyst

Hi, I have been working in Infosys for past 3.5yrs. my starting salary wad 5lpa and now it's 8lpa. I feel I should be compensated more based on work that I put into my projects for which the most feasible option would be to switch. Hence, I need some advice related to job-switching from fellow software engineers who have already been able to do that. 
My skills are Java-spring boot , react , sql, github copilot, kubernetes, What other skills do I need to know to be able switch comfortably? Kindly suggest some websites where I should be applying from. In the coming days maybe after March would be good time to apply, don't you think?

What scope do I have in product based companies? TIA

Job Switching Advice

Yo devs, would you mind giving me the first month of your salary (in installments) if I help you to get a high paying remote job!? Probably 2X-3X or your current salary!

You just have to sit on the interviews and do the assignments, I'll take care of the rest!

Let me know your thoughts in the comments..
