Neither. Stay away from them. Either will get acquired for peanuts or will shut shop

True, 
 Jar doesn't have a biz model. Makes peanuts for revenue on the core product. Can't find a way to monetize the user base. They know it, their investors know it. Time's running out. Vaoued at 2000 cr. + for like 7 cr. revenue. 
 Khatabook has poor retention. Can't justify CAC/LTV. Same story as the rest of kirana tech space. Kiranas are tough to onboard and once onboarded keep dropping out 
 Both will shut shop most likely in the next 1-2 years or get acquired for peanuts.

Product Manager

I also don't understand the business model of jar, how can they sustain, they started finance model to give out loans, apart from that it makes no sense to invest in digital gold via them. Pls englighten if I am missing anything

Associate Product Manager

Both are trash. Jar’s current products aren’t good enough to make revenue- and they’re way behind from other superapp consumer fintechs-, khatabook hasn’t made money in the past- but their loan book has gotten slightly better in the past few months. Khatabook saas is pointless, also their cpo is dumb  
  
 Also if it’s a marketing role, Jar might still be worth a shot

Hi I have a interview with Jar for SDE-2 backend role tomorrow, would appreciate if you could share some resource or tips for the interview

Jar interview for SDE 2

Why would any company require this information? I understand they might want to do basic background check, but asking for phone number of manger during application is sneaky.

FYI, the company is Jar.

Round 1 : Online assessment with 1 DSA question for ~45 min. Variation of valid anagrams LC question. There were no test cases for the code. We had to run the code and make sure that we have covered all the test cases. Round 2: Interview was mostly resume based. Went over my projects in resume and asked the DB schema of my project. Asked some basic questions of javascript. Round 3 : People and culture round. Asked about college ending and what my dream role was. Asked if I was open to product roles to which I straight away said NO (This is probably the reason I was rejected)"

Data analyst

This was my pathetic interview experience with Acceldata india with a very unprofessional and lying recruiter. This story has a satisfying ending.

I attended 6 rounds of interviews in 1 month and completed a take home assignment. I cleared all the rounds and even had a manager discussion about my onboarding. All good so far. 

Few days later the recruiter called back and said we need one more round (8th round) with the director who sits in US office. I said Ok and he scheduled this call on a Friday 10pm at night. 

At 9:55pm I tried to join the meeting link he sent but the link was not working. I tried in different browsers, different laptop, different internet connection. No luck. 

So I reached out to recruiter on mobile and he doesn't pick up. I know he's available because he was on call with someone else. I even tried reaching him via a different phone number but still no luck. Imagine the anxiety and panic I had to go through since I felt that it was my fault. 

On, next day he casually calls me in the morning to say that "Sorry I tried calling you 2 days ago but your mobile was unreachable (which is a plain lie). He says he cancelled the meeting because he found another candidate with lower salary.

That's fine, and I don't give a damn at this point. But I asked why didn't he send meeting cancelled email so I didn't have to panic on a friday late night. He casually says "Sorry about that". That's the last I hear of him. No response after that. 

All this after going through 8 rounds of interviews and a take home assignment. All because this a--hole recruiter lied to my face and couldn't send a simple email. 

Funny thing is: Another recruiter reached out to me 3 months later for the same role. Apparently the candidate they hired instead of me backed out at the last miniute. 🤣

If you get a chance to interview at AccelData, trust me, please don't waste your time. The company and the recruiting practises are not worth your time, even if you are jobless.

Don't bother interview with AccelData

I am seeing a lot of interview platforms to streamline tech hiring. Are the claims of reducing the stress of hiring (time and money wise) true? Why are there so many people in solving for tech hiring?

Folks getting job offers/ interview calls

Has anyone interviewed with Jar recently? The company has been hiring for the SPM role for the last 6 months (afaik). Are they not able to hire one or are they hiring more than one person for the same position?

Interview experience with Jar

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 have upcoming interviews for the position of SDE 2 at 6sense, Twilio, Clumio. Can you give me sometips and interview experience if you have given their interviews. 
You can also share information about the company.

Upcoming interview

SDE 2 interviews vary quite a lot from company to company and so it confuses me on what to focus on, can senior folks please guide?
What should be prior order between these and what are helpful resources you came across:
- HLD
- LLD
- DSA
- WEB DEV OR CORE ENGINEERING SKILLS

And will my personal projects matter for sde 2 roles?

How was your experience

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I'll be joining Dailybrief (online news app) in a month, I need to know about the company if it's good to work or not, I'm a fresher and also have another offer from Khatabook in the same profile but as an intern in growth marketing.

The conundrum being I cannot have another internship after a job but can have a job after another internship.

Product Marketing Manager

Hi Grapeviners, I have ten years of work ex in performance marketing and CRM. I started job search actively from Feb 15 this year and landed first interview today. 

How bad is the market out there. I usually get hired with in 30 job applications, also I apply to the role only if 70% and above role match with my previous experience also use referrals when available.

Also please roast my resume https://stonedmind.tiiny.site/ have redacted wherever necessary to stay anonymous as possible. For the first time in my career I have a doubt that my resume might not be upto the mark

Please let me know your views in the comments. Any help is appreciated.
