It is hard to work as if it’s all rosy. Better to invest more time in urself than company as nobody is loyal

Take a home lone. Jk. But on serious note upskill. Knowing that you can get any job you apply for will give you the kind of confidence and peace of mind that nothing else can match.

Ya I consider myself lucky that I don't have any such financial obligations. Yup, working on upskilling and some personal projects on the side.

What is the morale of employees in company where layoff happens

In the recent performance review, shitty manager gave bad review.  Though worked very hard the last whole year. Brought this to skips  notice, but he's not ready to hear what I have to say, just speaks what  manager has to say ( probably not to hamper his relationship with the  manager). This manager is very careless and has no idea what's going on  in the team.. Other colleagues who did less than equal to work as mine  got better rating than me due to their manager being good.   

Lost all hope and motivation to work. What should I do?? If I quit  now the market conditions are too bad. Did not learn anything much in  this shit company..   

Looking for advice..

Bad rating inspite of doing good work. Next steps?

Can anyone suggest some good strategies to stay motivated and focused on your job search despite the challenges.

How do you find motivation to switch?

Cry too hard

Hey folks, I have been working in startups for my entire experience and was wondering if it would be worth it to switch to a bigger org for better growth/learning in this market?

My reasons to switch

1. Low learning potential: I am a senior SDE here and WLB here is really good, too good in fact (I barely work a couple of hours if even that), this is leading to a lower learning potential, the work I get assigned, I complete in a couple of hours and while I have been given bigger projects, the learning is not there, I can easily complete them, and since I am the senior SDE here, I cant ask anyone to review my code/performance

2. Startup is in early seed stage, and there is definitely an uncertainty here about surviving till next year

3. I wasnt given much of a hike despite a level promotion (just 10%).

My manager is really awesome and one of the best guys I have ever worked under and honestly I wouldnt even think of switching if I had 5-6 YOE but at this point, I think i need to learn more and get some more guidance/review from experienced folks to grow. My salary is decent, but having my friends work in FANG/FANG-equivalent is definitely not helping my FOMO, specially when I hear about their projects in their orgs and compare it to mine which are nowhere near theirs in score or complexity.

and the reason why I am hesitating to switch is seeing the layoffs news coming in everyday, I can prep for interviews in the next couple of months and probably apply then but seeing all of these layoffs and folks finding it hard to land jobs is making me fear that I will lose this job with nothing to show for it in the end.

So, should I switch in this market or stick it out in my current org until market situation improves (considering it wont improve until next financial year)?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Im a Product Manager 1yoe in a SaaS startup.
I had a good experience in the first year. I got to build a product 0-1, competitor analysis, work on creating prioritization frameworks, UAT, content marketing, wireframing.

However, since January the compamy started their stabilization phase, and PM's are now taking care of Sales and lead generation(Content, Ads etc.). The nail in the coffin is we are getting dragged to follow up renewals( Customer Success) 🤢

Im currently motivated to building something new, and it feels like we are being dragged into everything as the company does not want to hire. With no pay hike or any adfitional benefit.

Please advice. Should I look for a new job?

Any suggestions how to get back to previous  salary?

Due to financial situation and sudden layoff, I had to join in some company for 25Lpa to support my family, my previous is 37.5Lpa

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, I've been experiencing a challenging situation at my company. Over the past month, we've seen a series of weekly terminations among my team members. The rationale provided is a lack of funds and available projects. This ongoing scenario has taken a toll on my mental well-being, leaving me feeling quite unsettled. If anyone is aware of companies with current job openings, or if you could potentially refer me to such opportunities, I would greatly appreciate it. I come with two years of experience in React and React Native, and I'm actively seeking new opportunities. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

"Seeking New Opportunities in React and React Native: Open to Referrals and Job Openings"

I have survived this round of layoff in PayPal b it I am pretty sure we are gonna be having another round by year end.
In this current scenario I am hearing a lot about google and some specific companies opening positions for software engineering.
What should be your recommendation in the current scenario 
Try to switch companies 
Or just stay back and be ready for interview prep

Switching jobs in the current market

Working as an SDE2 right now. Got promoted recently. Motivation to work is at an all-time low. Feels like I am stuck in a rat race. Is this normal? I see senior engineers in my team and frankly, I don't want to end up like them in the next few years. Immense respect for their skills and what they bring to the table, but I don't see myself doing that. I have a few options to consider:

Bucket 1
Keep grinding at my current role
Decent growth (career and money)
Stable life, certainity
Low Risk, Moderate Reward

Bucket 2
Coast at current role
Look for a switch (preferably outside India)
Make a lot of money
Basically, follow this and keep climbing the ladder
Boring AF

Bucket 1 and Bucket 2 can probably be merged, keeping them separate as it is very different in reality.

Bucket 3 (The Interesting Bucket)
Coast at current role
Build micro-SaaS solutions, contribute to open source, build problem solving attitude
Startup someday
Could result in slow growth, might end up wasting a few years.

The real constraint? I have to support a family. All expenses. We have no other income source at this point. Taking any risk with income is a big deal for me.

Just ranting here. I am not expecting a clear pick. Just looking for more opinions on what I am thinking, and maybe understand if I am overthinking.

What should I do next?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I was being paid less by the company. But I continued as it allowed some personal time and I was expecting senior positions. However, the company has appointed someone(was close to top.mgmt) as my head and my chances of senior roles are bleak now. 
Should I keep playing the chess/politics or just lookout for something else? 
ps- my seniors have left the company and I am not finding any sponsor/godfather who can put forward my case.

I am working atleast 12 hours daily for the past couple of months and now i feel this is taking a toll on my mental health. Increment was pathetic variable is slashed and I don’t see any light at the end of this tunnel. What should i do in such a situation.

Any suggestions please. The fact that things have gotten so bad that i am now contemplating a change in career. IT sector seems good from outside with all the money and stuff but from inside its a dark dark place.

I need some suggestions what should i do? Should i leave or continue to work hoping that things might get better after a certain point of time?

I am feeling burnt out

Someone in ur team or someone u had good relationship (work wise) with gets laid off? Do u discontinue working as hard? Does ur team velocity decrease or increase as everyone does better for survival?
Just wanna hear from folks who have gone through this and does employer not see any affect in work? (E.g. Twitter case)

With all the layoffs news, how do u cope when…

Hi folks, 

I have been part of one company for 9 years. I feel like bored and mundane.  I am trying to switch jobs for past one and half year and unable to crack any interviews. Each interview slips because of some reason. Now my current company based on my performance asked me to find job somewhere else within in few months.. I am still unable to clear interviews.. Sometimes feel very downward because of this but deep inside I feel like I am more worth than this.. Market is also so uncertain now.. My salary is 32L.. I feel like I am stuck in my career. Any advice or recommendation?
