I have done that, and embarrassed tbh.
Some years back, an uncle was laid off from work and he had a hard time finding a job.
And in all my (over)smartness I said, he really needs to find just ONE job. Just ONE! How difficult can it be anyway!

Now when I am in market, I know the value of that ONE and how different factors play a role in landing it.

Biryani you are in the founder's office role? I thought you were in marketing

Software Engineer

I have a degree in marketing but experience actually fit for Founder's office role

Consultant

Computer operator

This fellow's post adds insult to injury wtf !!!

Product Manager

"get fail in first few interviews" 
  
 Cringe

These bhaiya and didis are getting out of control soon LinkedIn will become like quora

There are two ways to look at it. In an crowded tech space, it may be easier to find a job but have to sweat it out for hikes. While in a booming space, it may be difficult to find a job but once you do command premium

Being optimistic is one thing but this almost feels like saying "If you're homeless, just get a home".

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Is there someone (companies/startup) out there who actually give chance to people who switch their careers entirely or is it just that they settle for a minimal job and kill their aspirations?

Feeling drained

When I look outside my room I feel sad. I can see grey skies of Delhi. It is so cold. No one to hug or embrace.

My heart Is hurting a lot. I dont know why.

I worked so hard. I spend 10-12 hours at work and I have no time for friends and family. I also make good money (86LPA/6YOE). I have no time to spend this money. 

My family is happy with me because I am successful. My gf is happy with me because I can afford her lifestyle and give her nice gifts and experiences.

I am borderline depressed. All my friends are from work. I feel like Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.

What is one of basic things you realised too late?

Founder

1. Build a home earlier. Be it rural home or urban home. Building a house at 50 is not an achievement. Don't get used to government houses. This comfort is so dangerous. Let all your family have good time in your house.
 
2. Go home. Don't stick at work all the year.  You are not the pillar of your department.  If you drop dead today, you will be replaced immediately and operations will continue.  Make your family a priority.

3. Don't chase promotions.  Master your skills and be excellent at what you do. If they want to promote you, that's fine if they don't,  stay positive to your personal.
development.

4. Avoid office or work gossip. Avoid things that tarnish your name or reputation. Don't join the bandwagon that backbites  your bosses and colleagues. Stay away from negative gatherings that have only people as their agenda.

5. Don't ever compete with your bosses.  You will burn your fingers.  Don't compete with your colleagues, you will fry your brain.

6. Ensure you have a side business.  Your salary will not sustain your needs in the long run.

7. Save some money. Let it be deducted automatically from your payslip. 

8. Borrow a loan to invest in a business or to change a situation not to buy luxury. Buy luxury from your profit.

9. Keep your life,marriage and family private. Let them stay away from your work. This is very important.  

10. Be loyal to yourself  and believe in your work. Hanging around your boss will alienate you from your colleagues and  your boss may finally dump you when he leaves. 

11. Retire early.  The best way to plan for your exit was when you received the employment letter. The other best time is today.  By 40 to 50 be out. 

12. Join work welfare and be an active member always. It will help you a lot when  any eventuality occurs.

13.Take leave days utilize them by developing yr future home or projects..usually what you do during yr leave days is a reflection of how you'll live after retirement.

Was thinking about our lives. Ever since you are in school, you have something to look forward to. When you’re in 1st grade, you know next year it’s 2nd grade and so on till you finish your undergrad.

Suddenly, you could be everything or nothing at the same time.

Those who are good at this game of eternal growth end up grinding their lives away in the PCM -> Engg -> B-School -> Consulting hell loop.

Weirdly, the determinism in growth fades away suddenly and you see people finally pursuing diverse fields.

Then, the realisation kicks in. You’ve been conditioned to chase eternal growth. That is what brings meaning to you in every part of your life. Today has to be better than your yesterday, or else it feels like you’ve failed.

I wonder how sustainable that is but till then we will continue to throw our youth away. 

My 2 cents: You have a brief moment in history. Don’t spend your 10 years of prime in doing things that don’t bring you any joy. Don’t make the same mistakes all of us make chasing joys because others are chasing them.

Find your own meaning to this eternal growth.

Is life a race for eternal growth?

Not every time your life is according to what you think it'll be. There were times when everything was good, you can say I was walking uphill but now everything seems cracking down. Why can't life be just plain ?

Walking downhill in life

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I'm already 7 months in & I'm slowly starting to give up now. The positive affirmations, the "your time will come" crap is just not working anymore.

Financially, I'm a mess. Living in constant stress & anxiety, parents don't believe in me, can't go out & have a drink with my friends since i have deliberately been out of contact with them.

What has helped you go through such situations?

What's the highest duration you've been unemployed?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi all, 
I am a software engineer in a * company. But here the point is about myself, i don't like to code at all, infect i hate it now, but still i am doing it , because i have no choice, i can't leave it nor my family will be  supportive about it. I know its the best work in today's time but not for me. I also got promoted and been on a good pay (acc to exp). But i just don't want to do this job at all. My brain is affecting to a large extent , i have been hiding it from my family. I have a lot of headaches and tension of work like how am i going to do this. Because of having no interest in this, i am not improving my knowledge in this field, which have created fear about switching jobs. I forgets concepts , but i am able to work , don't know how, but i am afraid how long will i survive. My life is ahead me, many responsibilities lying ahead, but also i dont want to do this. What should i do ? Please help me , i can see only one option and that the very last option.

Coding...

I posted a rant about how useless this time logging feature is in my current company and while scrolling LinkedIn I saw a guy asking for job as he’s jobless since past 12 months, “full stack dev” “primary bread earner in the family”. 
And then there’s numerous people working countless hours for a legit looped job, every single day. 
I understand this statement is highly debatable and you can always work harder and get a position to be a little free from the race, but don’t forget to be grateful for what you have today.

Life is simple!
