Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Been in Bangalore for 6+ years and love everything the city has given me. 
This city ( more like people here) taught me what software engineering and product sense is, how to entrepreneurs function, whats a 100X coder like. 
Made many memories, weekend trips to nearby places were so nice. Dated, moved in and then married my girlfriend, adopted a dog. So Bangalore has given me a lot. 
But in hindsight it takes a way a lot also - 
1. Everybody is in constant work mode, even in parties its just about who is doing what
2. Everybody is in loot mode here - i have seen locals pay less for veggies/fruits in front of me, then the veggies apparently have lead in them
3. Rents/builders/brokers/roads - we all know whats up with them 

Though it was nice initially, now i feel like even after earning so much ( ctc > 1cr) if i just spend it all here ( monthly expenses ~2lacs same is with all my married friends), what is the point even.

Hence making a move to slow life now, where you get a house with garden for 25k and fresh veggies and you can actually develop some relationship with community. 

This urge to always outperform in career is not really needed, we all eventually work towards savings and hence if i earn less but spend even lesser, its more or less the same thing for me.

But i dont want to live in a matchbox, travel 1 hour to meet a friend, eat a roti for 150bucks and be in constant anxiety about climbing the ladder. 

All i want is to focus on health, and sit in a garden in some sunshine with my wife and my dog and enjoy a cup of tea. 

So yes, I AM DONE. Moving to a tier 2 ( more like tier 2.5 town ) 

Happy to answer any questions if anybody has any.

Done with Tier1 cities, moving to tier 2 town with family - A rant

So are you fed up with Bangalore or just the career rat race? 
  
 Both are different. 
  
 Also, costs can be low in Bangalore, spending 2L/mo in married life isn't a feature of the city, it's the feature of your circle. 
  
 Not all high earners have to be HENRYs

Few weeks ago I checked Workday and saw that I was not promoted, while other people here were promoted apparently. Apparently, you could check in your workday whether you were promoted or nah.

Anyway, I was disappointed that I was not promoted from C11 to C10 even after working so hard. In my moment of weakness, I confided in my girlfriend. We have been dating for 3 months now. I was in a horrible mood and wanted to let it all out.

She decided to break up with me by the end of that week and said that it wouldn't work out between us. It was a very sad moment for me, after not being promoted and then the break up.

But FINALLLLYYYYYY!!!! I got promoted from C10 to C11. Apparently, workday method was not true for me. I am very happy that I got promoted. I told my family and friends. Since, me and my girl had recently broken up not many people had known about it so someone must've asked about my promo to her.

Now, she's saying that why did I lie to her that I did not get a promo(I did not lie at all) and she wants to get back together and said that she is sorry.

What should I do now? I can't resist her anymore. 

Please help me

C11 to C10 story: My girlfriend left me and now she wants to come back in my life...

Have a wild time with her and then say sorry it won't work out between us! Give her a taste of her own medicine.

What will I do now 🥵

Program Manager

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Alright I’m ready to go all in 🫡

The obsession I regret the most in my life is the all or nothing behavior.

Where, 
- I'll apply for a job only after knowing everything there is to know for a role.  This is why I used to see people with half my knowledge applying and getting jobs and moving ahead in life. I used think it's so unfair that they achieve in all aspects of their life and I in none...
- I'll date someone only when I know I am the perfect version that I envision for myself 
- I'll only take photos when I am in my perfect shape. If I don't have 8 abs, I don't deserve photos!
- I'll stop questioning whether I am good enough only when I achieve everything else I am a loser

I just was very cruel to myself for my own imperfections!
This instilled a fear in me that shattered my spirit, self confidence and self worth.  I ended up being afraid to pick anything up. 

If I couldn't stay course in something and for some reason I wasn't able to do something for a day or 2, my perfectionism mindset said, that's it, I am a failure and I thought, nothing can be done now and gave up

This resulted in I procrastinating in things. 
Why to work hard, I am never gonna make it...
I have 100 things to do in life else I am failure but I don't have time to do all that in this lifetime. Perfectionism results in not doing anything!

After meeting people, self introspection and podcasts from people, I realised its okay to mess up, its okay to fall down. I should dust myself off and continue! 
It is so hard now to change yourself after years of disappointment. You need so much positivity and letting go of perfectionism. You need self love and kindness... 

TLDR -
Don't be like an OCD person obsessing over things to go exactly the way they want!
Don't reject yourself due to failures/setbacks. Dust yourself off and move ahead!
It's okay to be imperfect as long as you promise to be consistent!

[Controversial Opinion] Don't chase perfectionism chase consistency. Period!

Has anyone received their Infosys interview results yet? How long did it usually take for you to hear back? Anxiously waiting here!

Waiting for Infosys Interview Result

Software Developer

A lot of times I have seen people who want to make the big bucks make no effort be it interviewing, up skulking finding the right team, and most importantly finding the right manager. People just want to land any job and assume that they will magically by hook or crook be progressing in their career with significant high fixed salary. But you gotta remember one toxic co worker one bad manager one bad designer one bad stakeholder one bad peer review can decide whether you are getting a refresh grant a bump in base and eventually a promotion. 

First you need to figure this shit out, then comes the next step. Obviously, we can’t function with the same amount of energy all the time like in our 20s in our 30s and in our 40s like 30s, so you must prioritise learning how financial independence works and how to make wealth, I am not saying an unrealistic goal. But realistically how much do you want to grow your net worth considering inflation in order to say this is it and I can stop working for someone else. 

And I have heard many many times about people saying I will wait for this raise, I will wait for this project to finish, I will wait for this 6 months in order to take a break or a vacation. But remember the reality is that time will never come you have to make the time which means planning early not busting your wallet. 

And considering the layoffs and the correction in salaries, it’s high time you must learn and plan these things better in order to provide a better life for you and your family both parents and dependents. 

Stop chasing 100 different things focus on 5, do a few things really good, eventually get to what you’re looking for. 

Wanted to share this as I have heard some random discussions about making 25-50 crore in 10 years easily without any of this. Unfortunately it is not possible unless you luck out.

Today, I received a warning email from the HR stating my performance is slow and they are going to decide on my employment.

I have joined this company very recently, as SDE 2. They are expecting me to complete a 30 day task within 10 days. I got excited and took it. I have been working my ass off, beyond the clock to achieve it. Most of it was new to me, since i don't have professional experience on this particular stack. It took me 6 days to achieve stability and structure of the application. Literally I haven't been sleeping a bit.

Now after 10 days they just shared this email. I really wanted to let this out.

Feeling shitty about performance feedback

Performance appraisal is just a yearly reminder that the employment is at their mercy. Beyond that it's has no meaning full value.  
 As a rule of thumb, one must always crib and complain at their jobs. If it takes 30days , one must say 50 days. If they ask us to complete in 10 days we must cry in front of them and shown tham that we are suffering. That's the only way to survive. Have you seen any ceo come on TV and say "life is good we are going to make a ton of money" no they always say " tough times ahead, recession time" , "perform or perish".. all the usual BS. We should follow our leaders.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Well, I see no point in continuing my current job - it’s off no value add. There are few opportunities for BD or anything else. While it has been <6 months in the org, I will have to continue this for the foreseeable future. I am planning to go for my Master’s in FY25. Ideally, I wanted to work my current job for a year at least - but it’s pointless (have sought manager’s opinion and other colleagues thoughts too). So, in the short term, I have concluded it doesn’t make sense to wait further (given the timeline). 

Plus managing GRE prep with a demanding job while possible seems very tricky especially from a quality standpoint.

Problem: If I quit after working for just 6 months, justifying that on my profile seems tricky (while possible). 

Question; What bearing will this move have if I make it? And what kind  of implications if any could it have on my Masters application? 

Any advice on navigating this would be much appreciated.

..unless either of the two mess up insanely bad

We'll probably get to the #3 spot if things go well. But it seems impossible that we'll ever go beyond that.

Internal reasons that are very hard to fix:-

(1) Our population TFR fell below standard replacement rate in 2023. This means we will not be able to follow the same economic growth trajectory required to reach developed status before population stagnation or declination. This is not a death knell but definitely very VERY bad news.

(2) Our blue-collar workforce skill levels are not only subpar but are slowly falling behind the world standards every year. Much of our youth aim to join government orgs like the Army or the Railways which train for the job later, not before. Despite a national shortage of skilled plumbers, electricians etc, our vocational training orgs have been unsuccessful in attracting people towards these careers as well as churning out skilled workers.

(3) Our bureaucratic environment is extremely slow with pathetic turnaround times on initiatives. This is not government specific and has always been the case so it seems like this will always be. This is not even a problem unique to India as many other countries have been facing this too but it is still a factor that negatively impacts our growth massively.

I wish it was just internal reasons but a large part of it also comes down to both China and US being aggressively great at ensuring their successes:-

(1) Chinese manufacturing seems nearly impossible to overcome - not just for India but also for the US. Yes, we might win over some industries and companies like the US, Vietnam, Thailand etc. have been doing but the amount of autocratic control in China allows them to crush competition easily. Case in point - the recent tussle between India and China on solar manufacturing which China won by autocratically lowering their prices.

(2) If de-dollarisation succeeds, it will benefit China the most because (contd. in comments)

Controversial: India will never overtake China or US

Let's do our part, instead FOMO, have an abundance mindset,keep building and shipping.
