Looking for non tech friends out here

Looking for non tech friends out here- Grapevine

I am a fresher 2023 graduate and have been doing this (applying for jobs) for almost a year, everyone said you have to do internships as it is necessary so did 2 internships one for a year and another for 6 months but apparently no one counts internships as experience even jobs that had 1-3 yoe as requirement and now everyone's hiring 2024 grads as freshers (I tried to look for another internship but there were none during the time of placements).

I am now tired of this field, many full stack devs don't know shit outside Javascript world and many of them can't even use tools like git properly and are so cocky of themselves. 

Saw an SDE on twitter who apparently has 6 years of experience, doesn't even know how to configure multiple SSH and says managing multiple ssh is a downside. A women dev (cause in India you have engineers and female engineers apparently) doesn't know about sidebar cache and calls it a bug and she's in google. and If I try to roast these people with my real name there's a whole cabal of Banglorians who will grab their macbooks inside third wave coffee and start tweeting against me after aggressively drinking their Chocolate mocha frappe.

Just go into any random tech twitter space no one seems to be talking about tech it's always about DSA, interviews, LIFE IN BANGLORE, which cafe they visited.

I let myself believe tech was my passion and worked hard  for but Indian techies and companies are worst, this generation thinks they are better than their predecessor but follow the same politics everywhere even when it comes to Tech communities (who tf does politics in a community that produces open source code wtf).

They talk about networking and creating a community all the time but can't even respond to linkedin cold dm and blame the sender by nitpicking about the format 👏👏 and then they'll go on post the screenshot and rant how it's the sender fault to even try to network with them with a message that isn't written from their own blood.

Tech rant

Bangalore tech scene is weird man. I feel even the auto driver knows how to code and the third wave barista is definitely doing leetcode because that coffee & sandwich clearly don't take 15 minutes to make

Hey non tech community!
Checking how many of us exist , just non tech and its presence on the corporate ,

Non tech folks let's connect

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi,
I am a 2023 passout btech graduate. Currently I am working as a full time SDE (Full Stack) in a well established startup (8 years old , Series A funded). It's been nearly half year here.

My compensation is 10.5 lakh base + 4.5 lakh performance bonus + free lunch and snacks + Insurance (Including parents) benefits 

I am pretty good at DSA (around 2000 rating on leetcode, 4 Star at codechef in 2nd year itself, 2000+ dsa problems)

I have worked in 2 startups as an SDE intern during college days and completed 5 internships overall out of which one was a US based startup. Also, I have many publications under my name over the internet.

I had many offers when I was graduating from college.

Most of the time people say, "Hey, you have done so much so Why are you not working in a big tech". Well I always wanted to work for big tech during college days but after I started working in startups my thought process changed  as here I got the ownership of the product.

Now it has been nearly 1 year since I started working in startups. Should I give it a try for big tech now?

Would like to hear your views guys

Am I doing something wrong?

The only thing i have is money, Working remotely from the start of my career, lost all college connections, stating in a tier 3 city where vibe don’t match.

Tried restarting but confused where to start 
Looking for answers i am ready to move new city but what are the next steps 

Thanks

Lost person

Maybe you have outgrown your friends. Maybe you want to talk to people who get what you do for a living. Maybe you just need people to play cricket with.

Is there something you need that you don't get from your current social circle?

What is one subject you can talk on for hours?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hello peeps. I need genuine advise. 

I am a Talent Acquisition professional in startup with  2 yrs of experience. However, I want to switch in the tech field. I am skilled in Python   DSA and SQL. How are chances for me to get hired in tech?? What roles should I apply for?? My location is Pune.

Career Transition from non-tech to tech

Can someone point me to a group/page for non-tech professionals?

I’m new here but this seems like a space for engineers/techies

Investment Associate

I am IITB /M7 business school grad living in California. Looking to build healthcare SaaS tool for doctors in the US. Please DM if anyone is interested in the hustle. I have been in this market for 4 years so understand the customer, GTM, pricing etc.

Looking for tech cofounder

Have been an entrepreneur since college days. Went full time on same idea and worked on it for a good 4 years full time before starting something new, raising some money, later pivoting (fucked up here) and eventually shutting shop last year. 

Life has been tough since then since there is no clarity on what to spend next 2-5 years on - acquisition offer falling apart, tried looking for jobs but didn't finalise and later did a bit of consulting (good pay but didn't really work out).

I now have a few good conversations going on right now - leading product & EIR/Founders Office. What do you suggest would be an ideal thing to do? 

Profile - Solid Generalist. Non tech. Money ain't really an issue right now but can't stay dependent on savings for so long - its stupid.

PS - If you or someone you know is hiring, please reach out. Happy exploring ideas as well.

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

Welcome to NEW LinkedIn, where professionals go to get distracted
- Because nothing says "professional networking" like knowing that out of my 30K connections, 48 have played Queens in the last hour. Exactly the vital information I needed today. And it's so comforting to know my boss not only sucks at setting my KPIs but also sucks at LUDO (oh wait.. they dont have LUDO, but you get the point). Say Yes to LinkedIn Games : because what better way to showcase your professional skills than competing in virtual board games. Maybe next we’ll have a LinkedIn Queens Champion title to boost your profile visibility and job hunt next?
- AI Post Ideas – Original thoughts? Nah, let the algorithm tell me what to think. Can’t wait for the ‘Inspirational Monday Motivation’ template. Because originality is overrated, right?
- LinkedIn Shorts – because TikTok isn’t enough. Now I can document getting laid off in 30-second clips. ‘Watch me scream at my boss in high definition!’ And the best part? When the boss yells at an employee, we can record that too! Coming soon: "Live from the pantry" and "Breakout room drama" LiEmploymentTV is the new reality TV 

What are the new features in pipe: Kundli and Tarot? 
- LinkedIn Horoscopes: Today’s forecast: Your connection requests will be ignored. Better luck tomorrow!
- LinkedIn Tarot Readings: The cards say stop pretending to enjoy team-building exercises
- LinkedIn Karaoke: Here's a hip hop base track to sing your resignation letter
- LinkedIn Pet Profiles: Cause your cat deserves a professional network too
- LinkedIn Cooking Shows: Cause you are more than your current role
- LinkedIn Meditation Sessions: Your mind needs it own Calm
- LinkedIn Matchmaking: We solved for the jobs, now lets help you find love with someone equally networked

Meta shutting down workplace really dint teach you anything???
To the PMs at LinkedIn – Thanks for teaching us - What not to do when and how.

Remember when LinkedIn was the place to get work done?

LinkedIn is not the same what it was an year ago, these days it's mostly filled with useless crap and so called influencers sharing their fake interview experiences just to sponsor someone who paid good amount of money

Data engineer

Human Resource

I am an EE Final year undergrad from a Tier 2 College. I have worked with production apps and am still working with a startup (mostly PPOed). I never did DSA/CP and got hooked to dev only. Now having worked for over 20 months I get sad when I see people who did 2 months DSA getting 30LPA and Where I am not rejected from the shortlisting itself (Oncampus). Recently saw a guy with no experience, literally getting a 60LPA job with a 33L base. And now I doubt my life choices, why did my efforts of managing college and work at once end up in such a disgusting manner. My PPO won't be even half of his CTC. And a guy with just 5-6 months DSA cracks a 60LPA job. Life is tough but shouldn't be up to this extent. 

How should I tackle this crisis?

Hurts to see undeserving people get highly paid

Generalist

I have 2 offers. One from a tech company and another from a non-tech company for SDE1 backend. 

The non-tech company is offering me more pay. Significantly more. 

Does working in a tech company offer you any sort of edge over working with a non-tech company? The non-tech company has good WLB. Not sure of the tech company though.

Tech vs non-tech company

I am a fresher doing b.tech in cse, I don't have a job right now, my previous company declined thr joining due to which I was not able to apply for other jobs coming on campus. My friends got job somewhere, I feel very disappointed in myself and I can't see my family lower their expectations in me. Mentally I am not in the state to do anything, I think my life is falling apart although it didn't even start. I am lacking motivation, I cry all the times thinking what will happen now. My father is retired, he's getting old, I want to give him that luxury and things but I can't get success thay easily. I am struck at the lowest point in my life. Even my friends are not helping me. I don't share my feelings with anyone. I don't know what to do should I look for a job or start preparing for MBA or MS in USA. I know this point came in life of many people, please help out I can't see myself going anywhere.

Don't have a job and going to graduate in 1 month

Rant. Chappri Interns and mid af SDEs on LinkedIn have destroyed the entire point of the platform. Every Tier 1 graduate working at Microsoft or Walmart posts their own pic in some Manali hillstation and give 400 lines of unsolicited gyaan, which virgin btech 2nd year students cant help but drool at.

I get it bro/sis, you mugged up 800 LC mediums and Microsoft came to your BITS campus and picked you up because you solved a system design question in the interview which scales infinitely for infinite users. No, i dont want to enroll is PrepCracker's System Design Cohort for just Rs 69,999 and replace Hotstar's CTO.

Folks like Arpit Bhayani and Addy Osmani are the only reason I open linkedin to actually get some ground level reality of how to be a better SWE, but all i see is bhaiyya didi telling me why my resume is not getting selected because i didnt pay Rs. 1,999 for their Topmate Resume Review session.

Due to them Twitter is full of 2nd year dimwits who think swe is the only path to liberation and their bhaiyya didi will be their guiding angel. They won't. They'll turn out just like your average 3.5lpa employee at WITCH. The only way to become a good swe is figure shit out yourself and do what you love. Its that simple. Im from a shit tier 3 college. I've cracked FAANG and that too with 42 lc solved. What DSA bro?

Thankyou to the Grapevine team for building a good platform where genuine watercooler discussions take place. Deleted LinkedIn for good until i get my sanity back.

LinkedIn Gyaanis should be banned

Middle class people are not wrong in thinking that swe is a path to their liberation. I could only afford to travel to these exotic places, take up (unnecessary) hobbies, pursue gym and eat good after earning those fat paychecks because of these overvalued startups paying me

Is it okay for a tech enthusiast to not be interested in hands on coding full fledged or maybe not be an expert at it.

I feel that if I give more time and effort in learning new stuffs and tech, I can excel at my job as a software engineer and even upskil myself but after 4-5 years, I still love to learn things and be updated about latest tech and do projects of my own but at a lesuirely pace without the anxiety about job or any interview..

But since I was in school I had too much interest towards business, ideas, startups and now that I am 28, i feel i really want to take that leap of faith with my entrepreneurial journey.

I have couple of ideas I am quite passionate in the FMCG domain and couple ideas for tech based as well.

From my heart, i always am into tech whether with job or jobless. But I don't like hardcore coding and stuff now.. Kind of done with it..

So my question is, has anyone else felt the same?
Has anyone from tech sector plunged into FMCG sector with zero knowldge about that sector?

Has anyone with average knowledge in tech industry tried to build a hardcore startup around tech by hiring someone else?

Please share your experiences and advice and not from success stories of Rags to Riches that even I can find on Google😂

Need a reality check/advice.

This time even I am out on the job market after a stint at Dunzo.
It appears that the market is slowly starting to get better.

Please provide the names of companies along with the specific job roles or functions they currently have open for hiring.

Hopefully, some links and referrals for all of us.
