Stages of Life:
1. You’re at School and Grades are everything.
2. You get to college and your GPA is everything.
3. You get to your first job and your pay is everything.
4. You get to the end of the year and Performance Review is everything.

So, essentially at every moment in your life, you’re judged by a number. 

My heart goes out to all those who failed at being better at this. But, I really cry for my brethren who succeeded at this hustle, for the person you’ve become.

Drop your experiences down below. I’m just in a very mellow mood after work, contemplating about life’s weird quirks.

Guys, its just a joke

I am fed up here as I don't see accountability anywhere. 
There was a Telugu Movie starring Mahesh Babu where he being CM says, in foreign, people are responsible and accountable and they made their lives beautiful. How amazing, right? I truly resonate with that thought

We lack accountability in everything we do.
- if something goes right, it's us, if wrong, it's them!
- We don't hold our govt politicians on their promises, on delivering things of value
- Companies go on screwing us, we don't give a damn. Refunds are processed without timelines, cases in country are backlogged for years and years
- We cannot even keep our cities clean, our air pure and our water drinkable and we are least bothered by it
- We cannot maintain our own infrastructure like Buses, railways, trains. We fucking are stealing mugs from railway toilets due to which it's chained (wtf!)

We don't want responsibility and no one should question us.
How are we really supposed to grow?  
Stringent laws in place helps with accountability of companies who at all times think how can I squeeze more money from people and screw them
Accountability keeps everyone in check.

Change my view!

[Rant] We lack accountability in almost everything

I was recently laid off. I am applying for jobs. One question that has been a bother for me is on my unfortunate past short stints. 
Need help from folks on how to tackle these Q's.
I am applying for product / strategy roles.
2015 - tier 1 engg
2019 - tier 1 MBA
1.5 yrs - did my own startup...fairly successful but later failed due to covid
11 months - worked in a fairly well known fast growing startup - left coz wanted to move to a product centric startup
14 months - worked in product based big unicorn startup - got laid off
10 months - joined an early stage startup - startup failed and laid off again

What should be my interview strategy? How do I portray my story in a positive light?

How to tackle interview Q's on my short stints?

Have worked in edtech, crypto and fintech, been through layoff (as an intern 😀), got multiple offers within 10 days of being laid off, got the PPO denied from one while got the PPO from the other.  Have seen founders with half a billion of funding boast about their culture and seen them layoff 120 folks the very next month.

Yes, its nothing compared to what the very well experienced folks on this platform have seen and experienced and gone through, but it's honest work :)

So ask me anything 😀
