Location specific activities for a few days or mos?

From what I understood they'll be conducting activities for the whole team in the name of well being, so it could be that every 2-3 weeks there might be an activity

Hello,

My company is calling the employees for some location specific activities since we were working from home till now. Is there any way I can get out of it or atleast delay it so I don't have to relocate ?

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently working from home .
My office is also very near to where I stay.
I have got an offer from another company , which is very far from my home and the recruiter is saying that you may have to come once in a while .

My concern is that , how do I convince them to give me permanent work from home .
Should I talk to the recruiter (HR) or should I directly talk to the senior most person (Director-who took the interview).

Although once in a while is ok with me , but if the company tomorrow says that you have to come once in a week , then that will be a challenge for me .

I want to grow in life but also can't leave my family .

What should I do ?

Switch my location from south (Hyd) to Gurugram or Delhi NCR. 

Any suggestions ??

Most companies I give interview are determined to keep me in Hyderabad Bangalore or Chennai.  



I’m a Data Engineer / Devops with 2 yoe.

Looking for a Location Change

Been in corporate for 18+ years. It's been a good run by God's grace. 

Situation currently is I have been WFH for last 3 years and office is requesting return to head office in a metro for at least 2d a week for senior folks. 

Unfortunately as you can understand, I am 40 and got an ailing parent with me being primary caregiver. Moving is not practical. 

Anyone else in same boat? What did you do?

Difficult Life Situation

I work for a consultancy and currently I’m working on building an enterprise conversational workflow using LLMs. It’s a pretty useful solution for a pharma company in the US. The only issue is my boss is horrible. He is an Indian and he surrounds himself with Indians who are afraid of speaking back due to the fear of getting fired and the ongoing hiring weather. He doesn’t understand LLMs, uncertainty that comes with using LLMs. Now, I completely understand that LLMs are pretty new and to be honest, even I am learning with the job. He is old school, asks to do meaninglessly experiments, tries to satisfies his ego, not open minded at all and has this weird Indian dad energy of just saying to do what he says. Worst part is, since this client is the highest paying one by miles for the consultancy, they want me to tolerate all this bullshit. Since they offer remote work and I have absolutely zero intention of going back to working from office, I feel clueless most of the days and just take my paycheck at the end of the month and try to forget that it’s shitty. 

What is the best way to deal with such situations ? 

PS: easiest solution would be to switch but given the current hiring scenes, I’m finding it hard to find remote jobs so any kind of solutions are welcome 🙏🏻

Working with enterprises is a pain

Senior Engineer

Previously I worked in Persistent Systems for 2 years. Recently my hr called me to share the screen and resign. They have given me 7 days time to submit laptop and all the assets, leave the company. I just want to understand can't we do anything if they asked to do force resign. Because I have been in this company for 2 years, past 6 months they started doing this for atleast 40 employees per month only from my branch Hyderabad . Now it has become per week because they don't have projects and lot of projects are going to end in few months and already few projects moved out because when I spoked with senior in the company they are saying projects signed for 5 year's contract has now not interested to move. I asked  why because of internal company politics, favouritism, fake and backdoor employees, over commitment due to these projects are not delivered in given deadline. How employees Will look for another oppurtunity in 7 days, also in my case when said to my recruiter that I am laid off they didn't schedule interview call then I changed my plan started saying them that I am having offer of A from x company going to join in next 15 days, then they shared scheduling interview. 
Won't there be any legal action we can take on employer as an employee in this cases.

Guys who are staying in metro cities like Delhi NCR, Pune, Bangalore or Hyderabad.. Can anyone tell me how much in hand salary is sufficient to live above mentioned metro cities with the family who has parents and 2 children dependents?
Currently I am working remotely (work from home) but due to no hikes or promotion I think I need to switch and now a days very less or none companies offering work from home..Evey company either 5 days a week or following hybrid model...
So, please give ur valuable suggestions so that I can get idea whether should I switch and come to any metro cities or should I stay back in my hometown with same salary?

How much in-hand salary is sufficient

Currently in talks with the CEO of a small international startup (less than 10 total members spread across 4 countries). My existing profile is an exact match for what they are looking for in a candidate (they are implementation partners of my existing company's software). 
I am pretty close to closing it but now he wishes to know my existing salary. I tried to avoid sharing it but he wants to know it before quoting anything to me. 
I wish to get a huge raise (80-100%) since i will be moving from a known brand to an unknown startup with all the skills they need and more from Day 1. 
Any tips on how I can handle this situation?

Hi all i have recently resigned from my company but my manager is not approving my resignation and is forcing me to stay more what to do?

Cars24 not approving resignation

Is it a good time for early in career(1.5 YoE) to join Google India. I am curious about their current culture like WFH policies, management outlook, direction of company, growth opportunity etc in Bangalore offices only.

What can you tell as an insider to someone on the outside looking at Google for possible next switch.

Also, are there opportunities to shift from Bangalore to other location outside India?

Folks at GoogleIndia, what can you share?

I have been doing WFH for the last 3 years from my hometown. Before that i was in Bangalore(YOE:5). Now i am kind of bored, doing the same activity daily, visiting the same places on weekends. 

Thinking of relocating for short-term(1-2 months) somewhere, budget 20-25k monthly, not so lonely place. Suggest some places, internet is a top priority. If i liked the place, I can extend my stay.

~50LPA, Remote, Where should i relocate?

I have received offer letter from Accenture but with Bangalore location. I need Pune location. Will they change location in my offer? Can I change my location after joining? Please help as this is urgent.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey everyone,
I am currently working as a security analyst working for a company that provides pentesting as a service to its clients. I am getting paid 17lpa fixed salary. I earn 80-90k from freelancing every month pre taxes.

So should I switch or not. It's been 3 years I am in this company and I can't see much growth now. I will be doing the same work. 

The work is full remote and the culture of company s also nice and workload is fine. 

What should I do?

Should I look for a product based company but most of them call onsite. I want remote work only that is mandatory.

How do I put an option of notice period buyout in front of my manager? 

I have recently resigned and have a 2 months notice period. I want to get it reduced to 1 month. My manager is not willing to do it and is acting weird after I have resigned. 

Any suggestions on how to get this done??

Recently i got a offer from Accenture but in offer letter Hyderabad location is mentioned, also raised a concern with Hr regarding location but she said will change after you accept the offer, i’ve accepted the offer now she is not responding my phone call what should i do in this case any suggestions?

Need to change the location from Hyderabad to Noida.

Hi all,

Recently, my father passed away. I have been working at TCS Kolkata Gitanjali park since 2021, and my salary is around 25k. Now, I have to take care of my home. I live in a PG in Kolkata, for which I pay 7k per month. It will be very difficult for me to manage my home and live in Kolkata on a 25k salary.

I asked my manager and HR to grant me WFH, but they refused. They said they would release me from the project. I am trying to apply to other companies, but I am not getting any offers. 

If any of you have suggestions or can help, please let me know.

Thank you.

Test engineer

There is a senior colleague from another team who calls me on my mobile or on whatsapp whenever I do not reply to him on Slack. Sometimes post 9pm. Even when I have set OOO status on my slack and teams. 

The reason I do not reply to him is because he wants favours for his work. It's purely a lack of skillset. He doesn't google but expects me to spoon feed him. I initially helped him, but he has taken me for granted. Eventually, I stopped replying to his messages whenever such requests came. I do not ignore the important requests. 

What do I need to do? Any suggestions?

Would you guys consider joining a startup with only 3-4 people in the office? I’m a recent graduate and got an opportunity to work with a team of 4 

however i’m not sure if i should join because i’ve always wanted to work at bigger organisations and get that corporate feeling and i im also an introvert and hate being “seen/perceived” (iykwim) and that’s the case with smaller teams 

but again looking at the job market rn im scared id end up employed 

what to do?

Marketing Associate

Hello folks

I got an offer from a product based startup and they want me to join immediately up to 2 weeks.

Currently I'm in a service based company with a 2 month notice period. 

Experienced folks please give me an idea on how to negotiate it down to two weeks.

The last idea that i can think of is to use a fake medical emergency at home.

Thanks!!!
