Looks like it was worth the wait!- Grapevine

I took some days to go through the News feature on GV and it's an intriguing twist to how we read news.

I've been using inshorts, Google News and was even the early adopter of Artifact (AI news aggregator made by Instagram founders). The USP built by GV is quite fitting to the user personas and kudos to the team for creating a seamless feature. Even changing content type is quick and seamless.

Goes to show that interesting products can be built just by understanding the user persona and TG well, by making something "boring" and turning it into something interesting while making sure the context is not lost.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Saw this post today & although i appreciate the guys' perseverance, is it really worth it to spend THIS long for another job? I mean i am unemployed for 7 months now & I'm thinking about expanding my search for similar opportunities(PMM, DA, BA).

Does this mean something is wrong with his approach or his skillsets aren't good enough?

Is it worth it to wait a long period for a new job?

Welcome to Fintech India's Private Community

Age 30, married, expecting to be alive till 80
50 L in cash
Own house & car (no plan to sell any of them)
No kids, no loans, no expectations, just basic life
Nothing from family

Excel calculation is hinting yes :)
But need practical advice

Can someone retire with just 50 Lakh in hand at 30.

You can't have the same car for 50 more years. 
  
 Your house will need pieces of renovation in the next 50 years. 
  
 Your body parts will start crumbling in the next 50 years.  
  
 Inflation will continue to eat your money in the next 50 years. 
  
  
 So no way you can survive with 1L per year for the two of you.

Take this moment to thank my first manager. She changed my entire career and helped my realise true potential. 

I come from a tier 2 college. Come from a very lower middle class family, thanks to my parents who ensured I got everything for my education without worrying about anything. Topped my 10th board and then fumbled in 12th. Joined a tier 2 private college. Did engineering got placed somehow and then found the manager who changed my life and realised how much importance a manager has. She scolded me but helped me with my mistakes learned everything from her. Started at a salary of 5 lpa then in just 6 years of my journey I have reached a base salary of 80lpa as a director of product management. Although I left the first company after 3.5 years but whatever I learned from her has shaped me to what I am. I truly believe and hard work in initial part of my career and I believe without hardwork one cannot achieve top 1% things... My mantra is to give my 100% and even more in the initial part of career then enjoy everything. Today I am able to provide everything to my family. I have enough time, money and health to support myself and my family.

Just a gratitude post. Hard work always pays off. 

My work ex will be 6 years in April btw...

How good managers are important...

5 to 80 in 6 years! 
  
 Mind sharing the YoY hikes?

Software Developer

I was laid off on 7th Sep and my garden leave was till 29th Sep. I got average severance package and I was in panic situation for almost 2 weeks. 

I gave interviews for 12 targeted position (luckily got till last rounds for all positions and got total 5 offers.
2 offers felt like being exploited, employers were milking my layoff situation and offered 10%-15%. I took a call to reject them and explore further.
Got 3 offers in first week of Jan, these were worth considering.
Yes I did wait for 4 months to see such favourable offers.
One with 15% hile and relocation, second with 60k Euro and move to Europe and third offer with 100% hike with remote.
It was a no brainer and I closed on the one with Remote and 100% hike.

Dont just rush to close on anything which comes first, assess the future and close on the decent or best one according to ur needs. 

For those who were laid-off recently and looking for opportunities I would say keep faith market is opening and positions are getting listed.
You will get something good soon.

Worth waiting for right offer (100% hike with remote)

Damn you man! Something I am manifesting 🤞 

Congratulations on new role! Do share your learnings through the journey

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

How long does it take from the 2-3 rounds of interview, HR round to get the offer letter in your hand?

 It's been a month since this process is going on; I got the final call, and HR told me that they are sending the offer letter to a higher recruiter for approval salary, but it's been 4-5 days, and they haven't updated me.

I called for an update, and they said they would send it soon, but they haven't. This process is just increasing my anxiety; I don't know what to do, as it's my first switch. Also, since I'm an overthinker, this thing is eating me up ☠️

Konse mandir jaau kya khaau ...alag hi chull mach rahi hai .... Clear hogaya toh offer letter dedo or Shanti se jeevan viyateet karne do nanhi si jaan ko

How long does it take

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

- It's hard being the only woman in the leadership, in a room full of older men. If you don't hang out with them, you are excluded. If you do hang out with them, you got to get you act right with nods and smiles along the small talk. If If If If.. thats the loop you are caught in.
- Imagine being the only female developer in the team. BRO code is the default setting. DEV code took a sabbatical. All of you go hang out with beer, smoke and whatever and what if I am not into that? I am not a so called BRO then. And dont even get me started on the casual jokes and me not being into gaming and TT. Go ahead ask me.. How does she even fit in then.. Right??
- Declare I’m taking a "Wellness" Day. Might as well hold a flag and say "Guess who's on her period?! ME ME ME!" So much for your policies
- I can’t even begin to count the number of times I’ve been interrupted, spoken over.. 
- Dress too casually, you're not taken seriously. Dress too nicely, you're trying too hard. I've been judged for my clothes more times than I can count - too much, too little, too fashionable - yep been called that too. It’s exhausting
- I think my presence is acknowledged only when it’s convenient for them. My opinions and insights are ignored until they need a female face to tick a diversity box
- I’ve stayed late and worked weekends just to prove I’m just as dedicated as the others (even when I was doing next weeks work)
- Finding a mentor who truly understands the challenges I face as a woman in tech is nearly impossible. Male mentors often don’t get it, and female mentors are spread too thin
- I was told to speak up but when I did, I was labeled aggressive. I'm expected to be assertive but not too assertive, confident but not too confident. Also if I am progressing too fast, I have someone special rooting for me for something special in return - that the peoples verdict. And then the gossip starts.

A large majority of Orgs, Founders, Leaders, HR are getting by doing the bare minimum.

Bought my Mom a Titan Raga watch and my Dad a wallet. Had noticed for a while that my mom's old watch wasnt working anymore and in those days we didn't have the money to afford one. One of the proudest moments of my life...

Looking forward to some nice stories from the community. Some positive, some not so positive - what made you take a pay cut?

Have you ever taken a pay cut for a job? Share your reasons 💵

I take a pay cut every year due to inflation. Involuntarily, of course.

Growth And Strategy

Security Analyst

It’s hard time for the community with these kind of asshole founders enjoying limelight with articles and media sitting quiet on this. 
They have fired almost everyone with their crooked and cruel strategy. 
Lame founders who micro manage and build strategies to fire people. They have a layer of puppets under them and make the whole plan to fire the employees- bhai itna mehnat kyu karte ho yaar, seedha muh pe bol do. 
They’re burning investor money and despite being productive laying these foundations for firing. Layoff everyone then, those puppets desite taking tons of bad decisions are being protected just because they lick their ass and pound them to be rockstars. 
They’ve hired hot girls under them for timepass and so called secret parties. Complete BS. 

I’m still surprised itna karne ke bad they are being celebrated what a country we live in.

Classplus firing and fraud

This came out of nowhere. Poor investments? Executive troubles? Both?

Honestly the investing team lacked grit and commitment towards a founder or an investment. In late 2019 they finalised terms with us while an international investor was leading the round, they pulled out last minute because some random fuck company raised 2X the amount of our round from tier 1 vc. Now that company doesn’t exist anymore but I guess neither the fund…me too can never be an investment strategy but sadly this is pretty much how Indian vcs think. We’re still alive and growing 😁

Looks like it was worth the wait!
