Possibly, yes 
 I'd say it will likely give you a lot of exposure but depending on the nature of the company it can be unlike anything you've ever experienced before 
  
 I'd also advise you to steer clear of the startup world if instability can affect your life. The new age tech industry is very very volatile, and none more so than startups.

Welcome to Fintech India's Private Community

Full disclosure:
I'm currently in a service based company, but want to venture into the fintech world and eventually join a fintech product company in the lines of Razorpay, PayU, etc. But being from the service industry, that too from a small non-popular startup, has been a main blocker.
Recently I got an opportunity to join a not-so-popular but well-thriving crypto exchange. Will joining this company help me to eventually transition to fintech domain in future ?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have an offer from an early stage company in crypto space and i need help in making a decision if is it worth or not. As the sector is highly under the regulatory radar so business is at risk whenever new regulations comes is as in case with the most fintech companies as well. Also do you think crypto does hold some real value and is here to stay for long?

Need advice. Is it worth joining a crypto based startup at an early stage, keeping in view that the sector is too much under the financial regulatory authorities radar and business semantics can turn overnight?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Seeing lots of web 3 startups by Indian founders. And they are getting VC attention as well. What are your views on web/ crypto/ blockchain startups? Are these the future or just a fad that will go away soon?

Views on Indian Web 3 startups

Can I switch to FAANG (or any product based company)? Currently working at service based on tech stack mostly used by service based only.

So, I am an analytics guy with almost 5.5 YoE under my belt. My latest transition was to Phonepe that I made this year (feeling shitty here already, given the kind of work creating almost no impact)
I saw a post on LinkedIn where the CEO of this startup recently raised some pre-seed funding (~1.5mn). Since I was following them for almost 6-7 months before this, I reached out to the founder on LinkedIn. 
We first had a virtual call where we got to know each other and after that discussion, he called me over to his place where we further talked about the idea, the scope and the future while also discussing what I could bring to the table. Post that, we met again, and this time with the other co-founder who deep-dived a slight bit into the tech stack that I had worked on.
It seems that all is going well, but the founder, in the first face to face meeting told me that for the time being (for almost the next 3-4 months), he'll be able to pay me a monthly amount which is less than half of my current in hand pay, post which it'll be reviewed and adjusted accordingly. How do I negotiate this now? Also, since the team size is super small (only 5 full time folks and one customer support part timer), how do I negotiate on what equity I take (looking for a benchmark number here)?

Hey i am trying to find some freelancing/consulting opportunities for UPI/Payments space while keeping my anonymity. How should i start since I can’t just post it on twitter/linkedIn. I have lead tech for 2 startup’s specially in UPI space, made their application go live from 0 to 100k users but now pivoting to another space but don’t wanna lose the touch. Would be happy to help :)

How to get freelancing/consulting opportunities for Fintech Space - UPI/Payments etc?

I want to find seed stage startups to join as a founding engineer. I want to take some risk while I can and try if I can get a good return.

How should I go about this? 

I have 7 years of experience. Building distributed systems, backend services with Go, Clojure, etc. I have some frontend experience as well with SvelteKit, Tailwind, etc. I also made a SaaS product recently and got around 10 small businesses as customers on subscription. The product itself got acquired for 5 figures USD after I ran it for 2 months

How to find seed stage startups?

Take a free subscription of crunchbase. Find startups funded in the last 2 years by good funds and cancel subscription. The founders are generally easy to cold call

Please share honest reviews about Meesho. I have seen extremely mixed reviews on Grapevine and Glassdoor so not sure if I should join there or not.

Role is in their product team

Also, can anyone shed some light on how they have become profitable with 0 commission while other companies which charge commission as well as a platform fees are not

Reviews about Meesho

Hi.

I'm a 9yr exp full stack engineer. Have done webdev mostly.
Currently earning around 30lpa
I want a job change because:
1. More money
2. Bored of webdev

I was looking around and HFT seemed interesting to me. I haven't done my full research on it, but from what little I have done, it seems like it is a very niche vertical requiring highly skilled folks and also we don't have HFT companies in India?

Anyways, I'm not fixated on HFT, that's just one avenue I explored.

I just want some better paying programming job where I can feel livelier. For eg., when I do complex DB queries for debugging and reports, or digging and parsing logs to find patterns and debugging, or optimizing some piece of code to squeeze more performance out of it.

I am fine with writing basic routine to make bucks but it's not fulfilling.

Please advise how to go about my career progression in a fulfilling way.

Seeking change. Looking at FinTech etc

I interned at a fintech unicorn as a PM Intern in my 3rd year and wasn't able to get a return offer because of hiring freeze. I joined a relatively stable MNC as an analyst thru campus but don't really enjoy the job and there's no intellectual stimulation as well. Doing work here feels like a chore whereas I really enjoyed working at the unicorn. 

Now, the previous company had reached out to me and offering me a position. How should I proceed, really scared of layoffs as I have an education loan.

Confused, please help

Is crypto still has a future after too many regulations in different countries. Is still worth joining one ?? The starup has got some funding and is into building some kind of bitcoin wallet

Should I join a crypto startup ??

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

All professionals go thru this dilemma when they are nearing 50 . They are actually wiser and more experienced but it has become a taboo that if you are touching 50 and aren’t already a business leader then you have lost the plot . Your current organisation does not value you and feels age is a barrier to growth . And external companies who are hiring want younger leaders . So experienced people who have seen various ups and downs , weathered so many storms and have the deep rooted knowledge and experience … what do they do ahead ? Everybody does not have money to open their own startup . People say do a course , enhance your skill sets . After that what ? Can somebody share sites or forums or groups where such high experience guys can try for jobs . Because for many many of them “ picture abhi baaki hai dost “

For working professionals nearing age 50 …. Kya picture abhi baaki hai dost ?

I’m looking to switch to B2C FinTech startups in India with good product and team! Do suggest if you know which one are those

I am looking to attend the Raqorpay FTX event (https://razorpay.com/ftx). As someone who wishes to start a start-up in the fintech domain, can you suggest the best ways I can make use of the event? Also, hit me up if you're attending too!

Advice before attending Razorpay-FTX

I'll go first.

1. even healthcare
2. Hike/Rush
3. Spartan Poker
4. Ultrahuman
5. Invideo

Mention the reason too if possible.
Let's discover some hidden ones. Brownie points if you mention startups that only a few have heard of.

If you know a less-known Indian startup that is doing some crazy shit (not so obvious ones), do mention.

Your turn.

What are some cool startups (Indian) you would love to work with?

As an ex-Ultrahuman employee, I can confirm that you don’t want to work there. 
  
 The culture is cut throat. I was there for an year and I got a total of 3 weekends where I didn’t touch my laptop. 
  
 Credit where its due, founders and people are amazing, it’s just that the expectations are so high that you are constantly overworked.
