I feel I have mentally declined since college. Not able to maintain my attention. And seems everyone is moving on and progressing in life

Do you best. That’s all. Don’t compare. Work on improving. That’s it. Don’t look at other people, someone will always be ahead. My college senior is working with Elon. So what?

Do you all take preparation for job switch interview seriously? Or you just go to meeting to have casual conversation. I feel it's a big task to prepare for interview like we did in MBA colleges, doing cases back to back. I feel I have dumbed down and any preparation feels a big effort

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

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

U guys are lucky to have job in product based companies: 
  
 We, in service based have to give interviews every now and then as the project changes. So as a byproduct we are kind of used to interviews 😂 (cry aa rha)

Growth And Strategy

I have been terminate in Jan. Its almost end of March now. I have been applying since Feb. But still i can see application in progress status in the careers page of the companies. Usually how long it takes to get another job after being terminated/laid off?

How long does it take?

Software Engineer

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi,

I have almost 10 months of experience as software developer in 3 companies one internship, 2 full-time. First 2 was absolutely initial-stage startups, this one is a seed-funded startup. In my current company the culture and the manager is really nice. I work as a backend developer, node, MongoDB, express, genai, auth, etc. tech stack. But the work does not excite me at all, I was enjoying at my previous company a lot more. That was young team, so everyone was new to tech and trying to figure out things and was helpful and collaborative. Here everyone is in their 30s and 40s and I am 23, no one even cares of what I work and how difficulty I am facing in work/team. That's why I fear of losing my job every day and I am still on my probation. So I thought of applying in case I get laid off. I got an interview opportunity at company. I want to ask what should I answer if the interviewer asks me about the frequent switches.

In first company I switched because the company is like 3 people and no funding was received so only 3 more months of money remaining( btw now only the founder left and he is still trying to raise money, my other colleague left too). So what should I give a reason for this potential switch? 

Current perks: 6LPA base. Nothing else.

Have an interview coming up, how to prepare for frequent switching question?

Software Developer

Everyone dreads job interviews, no matter how experienced they are (I do till date). What are your biggest struggles when it comes to preparing for job interviews? Context of your role would also be helpful.

PS. This is for a tool I’m building in the interview space.

Hey folks, I've cleared my interview to join a VC fund as an analyst in Bangalore ($150-200 Million AUM). Happy to answer any questions about the process or doubts the community might have.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I work in a fintech company. Revenue and growth wise we are good, we just got acquired by a large internet platform too. Also, last year has been a tremendous learning for me as well. I like being PM but looking to move out of my current industry (lending) as I want to explore other domains and I feel like my CTC here is somewhat low (18.5 + 1.5 bonus) considering my experience (around 4.5 years). My boss said that I will get ESOPS (around 10 lacs) which I can liquidate around 50% this year. Should I wait for my appraisal to complete (will happen around April) and look to switch or should I start preparing for interviews now itself?

Company is good but CTC pinches

I decided to start applying and taking interviews after a 6-7 months break. Didn’t crack a good offer last time and dropped the idea of switching then.
 I find myself struggling with making my responses deep and well rounded specifically product sense and design questions. While I try to follow a framework and manage to effectively take the interview along that, I realise the content is shallow be it user segmentation, needs, pain points and solutions where I really run out of thoughts. I have close to 5 years of experience in PMing and have done decent in the products I owned but somehow just not able to get through certain interview expectations. Should I take a break from applying for preparation or continue taking interviews and learn alongside? Any specific recommendations to make the content rich?

PM interviewing..

Product Owner

I have 2.5 yoe in total, 1.5 in product. Was looking for a switch since Jan '24. Finally, an interview has been scheduled next week.

Now, I have no clue what they are gonna ask in interview. I can explain what have I done and all, but no clue about case studies or framework etc.

Would be great if someone could share their interview preparation strategy for product roles.

If you have given an interview,
Kindly tell the firm name and the questions they asked.

Thanks in Advance 😃

Swiggy has become a toxic Ex for me now and there is no time to think about it at this point (for me atleast)
I need to get back on my feet soon (sole earner in my family) and need some help. 

It has been a really long time since I prepared and stepped out there, so need some help in knowing what's going on out there. It would be great if someone can help with these:
1. Any interview resources I can start with
2. What all things I need/should prepare for
3. Any tips and tricks for the interview preparation

I think it will be a lot of help for me and others too who are in the same boat.
I was an SDE2 here and thinking of stepping up to SDE3 as well but right now even an SDE2 role would suffice. So will prepare accordingly

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I joined TCS 3yrs ago and since then I couldn't switch. I am planning since last year March but actually not able to work on it. Even I couldn't apply actively. Currently I am involved in a role which has nothing to do with development and I feel bit less confident. So I want to know why it is so hard to leave? Does everyone feel same? Is this ecosystem somewhat responsible for this?

Why is it so hard to leave first company?

  Never let a retard shame you for job hopping.  
  Job hopping is one of the fewest ways to attain some economic mobility in this shithole country.   
  For a corporation understand that you're a fungible resource. They'll throw you under the bus once you've outlived their utility. Always lookout for your own personal interest first.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I'm a chem engineer with MBA in Finance (Tier 2 cllg). While pursuing my MBA I had two priorities clear - 1. Dont want a sales role & 2. Don't want to join a tech company (not exactly good with tech stack). As luck would have it, I joined IBM few months ago in a sales role 🥲
Since then I have been thinking a lot about my future. I need some external advice as I am already biased against the sales role -
1. In a situation like mine, should one immediately switch profile if possible or get some experience in sales before trying to switch?
2. Is it even possible to make the switch if I spend a couple of years here?
3. How difficult it is to make the switch to finance roles (financial analyst or similar) without a CFA and solely on MBA finance? I'm prepping for CFA but will appear next year post April. 

TIA

Management Consulting

My contract was terminated last month citing restructuring.
Honestly, I saw it coming but wasn't expecting it would hit like this

I tried keeping my mind distracted, but now it has started to sink

I live with parents and they aren't saying anything (they were feeding me before and still are, no change for them)

I have had thoughts of ending all this, but do not have the courage. What if it ends halfway and I am redundant my whole life?

Credit card bills are coming through now and being 42% of my ex-salary wasn't something I was prepared for. I thought I was a sane spender.

How did you tackle being laid off?

Keep looking around, apply and eventually you're bound to get a good job I promise you. Just treat it as a numbers game. Ask your parents help with the credit card bills if you don't have enough corpus, there is no shame in that. You can give the money back to them when you're in a better position. 
  
 You're a nice person from what I know of you in this platform, you got this sis! Ending it all is not a good option for the people who care about you, and you're probably gonna look back later and smile and be glad for making it through
