Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I have worked in 2 Indian-born startups, one of which has its branch in US and Europe. Almost everyday I have to reach out to folks both in India and in US to ask questions and get details regarding technical features. 

Now, whenever I reach out to people in India, they all have this rude attitude while replying back. For example: if I ask a very detailed question they often don't respond back. Sometimes it takes 2 days, 2 followups to respond. 

Example: As a new joiner I asked a dev "is there is any docs regarding certain product feature. If not could you point me to the PM or EM who worked on it?"
He took 2 days to respond and his response was "NO". Just No. He didn't even read the full text. 🤷🏻 In my 10 year experience, almost 5 in 10 indian employees behave this way. 

Whenever I reach out to US folks, ofcourse they take time to respond but when they do they provide most of the info on slack; whom to reach, how to get access. They seem to have the courtesy to actually help. 

I get it, we all are busy with stuff. But shouldn't we have a basic courtesy to atleast respond respectfully? Why is this need to act superior to others?

The attitude among Indian tech employees

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I am 4 months into my first job as a product manager. I have never coded in my life except for a basic coding course in college. While I am always eager to understand technical concepts and tend to ask a lot of questions around the same I still feel there's a huge gap in communication. 

This leads to poorly estimated timelines, and often difficulty in assessing feasibility of ideas.

I wish to learn more about software architecture, data management systems and the development processes in general. 

While I know I lack technical expertise, I don't want to discount the possibility of this just being a communication issue within the team. This is a series B startup just entering the growth phase, so no proper processes are set up as of now - again something I will have to streamline.

My question is to all the product managers especially who don't come from a technical background - how did you bridge this gap?

Resources for Non-Tech PMs

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?

I’ve been noticing a trend lately and wanted to see if anyone else feels the same. After about 10 years in the tech industry, it seems like a lot of us are shifting towards people or product management roles instead of continuing deep technical work. I get that management roles often come with perks, but it feels like we’re losing out on technical growth.

With how fast the tech space is changing and AI taking over a lot of things, it feels even more crucial to stay updated technically. Is anyone else struggling with this? Is it any different in startups versus big tech companies? How are you dealing with it? Are there ways to stay technically sharp while still advancing your career? Any decision making framework/parameter to evaluate career growth?

The Dilemma of Mid-Career Engineers

Director of engineer

This is something that helped me a lot during my Engineering days and some of it I even used during my job. It is great to work through these problems out of curiosity as it builds great intuition around computing and algorithms.

This course provides an introduction to mathematical modeling of computational problems.

In a very chaotic place right now, moving to a new city, away from home for the first time, starting a LDR, nervously excited about the whole thing. 

Want to pick up new things. 
1. News: Shit at knowing what's happening around me. I know it's important but there's so much content everywhere. What few platforms will cover most of it? (PS: GV notifs sometimes do help with GK and starts good conversations :P) 

2. Books: Used to love them, trying to find my way back. Psychology, non fiction recommendations welcome  

3. Fitness: Gym jaana hai! Can show up consistently, just want a good environment, diet also needs work :/ 

4. Upskill: Marketer here. Don't feel like doing this most days, but aise nahi chalega, kaafi zyada hi chill kar lia 🥲

How to be better as a software developer

Hey everyone! I've been pondering something and I'd love to hear your thoughts. Could those of you in IT companies share an estimate of the time allocated by your company for an individual to learn a new technology or subject? As we all know, in computer science, technology is constantly evolving, making it challenging to claim expertise in any one area. Instead, I believe the skill of 'learning to learn' is paramount.

Could you please share your experience using this framework:
1. Your level of experience in the field (e.g., beginner, intermediate, advanced).
2. The time frame you were given to learn a new technology or subject.
3. The resources provided (e.g., PDFs, online courses, mentorship).
4. Your comfort level in completing the learning within the given time frame.

For instance, if you were given 15 days to learn and execute a project in Go language from scratch using only PDF resources, and you felt comfortable with the timeline, please share your experience. 

Sharing such insights could help beginners gauge the expectations of continuous learning in the field of computer science. Looking forward to your input!

Ask me anything except my company name, or things that can reveal my identity. I may respectfully choose not to respond to your question based on my own judgement.

Here’s a brief intro about me: I’ve worked as both software engineering manager & software technical architect over the last 18+ years on various tech stacks managing backend, frontend and a little bit of cloud. I have seen ups and downs in the software industry. Currently I’m working as a senior architect in one of the product based companies in India.

I’ve been an Engineering Manager before. Ask me anything.

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

Guys, 
To be honest, I initially didn't have any intention of leaving India, but due to certain ongoing issues, I'm now considering pursuing an MBA or MS abroad. Here's my background:

I completed my engineering degree with average academic performance, not being a top achiever.

I have four years of work experience in Finance and as a Growth Manager at Fintech companies.

Now, I'm contemplating gaining more skills through a degree and job abroad. What steps should I follow, and do you have any recommendations? Additionally, which exams do I need to clear for this?

Suggestion to move abroad

Why indian it

To be very honest I feel very frustrated looking at the situation right now. Companies are laying off without worrying about the employees. It's just corporate profits everywhere.

I am scared to death that my career won't last long than 20 years because the moment these folks think you are becoming a financial burden on them, they'll lay you off.

I don't want to live my life in a constant war mode. The Indian education system has bruised my personality for a long time. I want to relax but looking at this battlefield I can never.

My weekends are spent worrying about planning for finances in case I get laid off. I am worried I won't be able to buy a house.

This shit is depressing me very much. Other folks please tell me how are you navigating this mess?
