spend a lot of time for yourself.  
  
 and as for your job, it is a big switch, make sure to have good projects,

Cybersecurity

You are unable to mentally switch off from your work. Having FOMO and a toxic work-life balance. My humble advise; take a 2 day break maybe have a slumber party with food and drinks. And than decide what you want to do next.

Currently I'm working in autosar(application layer), but I feel like switching my career into full stack development.I find no balance in work neither in learning.My social circle is messed up , I hardly interact with people around me.

Mental instability at work- Grapevine

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

Currently working in a startup and contributing in data science projects. Learning is good but a lot of time goes down in meetings and discussions and I have to do late night work. Everyday starts to feel like the same and I am not able to get time for extra learning to enhance my knowledge and tech stack.
Also thinking of company change but most of them need 3-4 years exp to the data science team. 😭

Feeling losted

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Recently joined a company.We majorly work in c and c++ . It has been a few months since I joined the company but it feels like I haven't really learnt anything new nor am I contributing majorly in any way . In this time span I have rarely coded and it feels like it is affecting my career deeply, especially being a fresher in this domain.I want to know the possible ways to tackle this situation and what else that you guys recommend.

Lost at work

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I recently left a good company to join a startup. Now after joining I come to know they have working Saturdays and in 2 weeks I'm already burnt out. There is literally no process to do things and in my first feature their psycho tech lead had mood swings and asked me to refractor the code 3 times based on his mood swings. 
The signs are really bad and I don't want to stay here anymore. 
Is the tech hiring picking up? I'm prepared to sit for a couple of months without a job as well tbh. But if the market is too bad then that may be a worse step than staying here.
Regretting the switch.

Messed up my career

Software Engineer

I work as a SDE3 at a medium sized company. I have been working here for about 4 years and have been performing well enough to get top appraisals here every year consistently.

From few months I have been fucking up A LOT. From NPEs in every release to getting whole company down for sometime. Every release of mine has been disastrous from quite a few months. I have not been performing well at all, missing on edge cases in grooming meeting and in testing as well.

I'm not sure what has happened to me. I have not been like this at all in my 7 years of total career, and this has been very embarrassing for me in front of whole company.

I'm actually thinking of naked resigning and just take a break of 1 month and then find a new job, but I'm too scared because of the current market conditions.

What would you guys do in this situation?

Lost in career

I am a Software Engineer with 6 years of work experience. Currently working for a US based startup. Previously I have worked for Amazon and a couple of Indian startups.

My current org is remote and I am working from my hometown. It's super chill in this company and work is only to build CRUD and APIs. I feel too stagnant here, my manager is also super chill and is in retirement mode. I feel this will message my future.

I joined this company so I can work on my start up but haven't been very active there too.

Recently a Google recruiter contacted me for a L4 role and had the recruiter screen and he scheduled the interview for the next month.
Google base monthly salary for L4 is way below my current since it's a US based startup. But with RSUs Google annual CTC his higher.

I am confused whether to continue in my org and focus back on startup or start preparing for Google interview. In the long term I want to start my company. At the same time Google will offer an AI ecosystem and resources that will help my startup.

Please share your views.

Please help. Too much confusion.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I am working as a senior product manager in a fintech startup. I am under a lot of stress due to work pressure, continuous badgering from business and tech stakeholders and loneliness. I always think of going home but staying in stressful job mainly because I don't want to be jobless. I can only post my views here anonymously because I don't want to be seen as loser. Request members if they can provide their suggestions.

PS : As far as my profile is concerned it's B tech + MBA from tier 1 college and 3 years of tech experience followed by 7 yrs into Product Management and living alone in Bangalore.

Deteriorating mental health

Product Manager

There is this new PM who is making my life living hell. Sets up his own timeline without consulting me how much effort it will take me to execute. The requirements are fuzzy and changes while executing. I am having to delete a ton of my code because they can't keep the requirements frozen.

The problem is that, I am being pulled into meetings all day and I am having to code at night just to keep up with my tasks. My life has become work and I have no time for my self-care.

Haven't gone home in 6 months now. I don't know what to do now.

Save me. Please. I beg of you. What should I do?

PM treats me like a slave

PM se pressure Kaun leta hai? Aukaat mein rakho bhai usko

What should i do.!? Also the performance review week is near i.e next month.!?

Zero Work Life Balance..!!

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

I'm a software engineer with 2 years of experience. I feel like I don't have programming acumen and can't understand things like others. I really struggle at my job and has to give extra time even weekend to perform at my job. 
I don't understand big codebase, integration services.
I feel like quitting this job and do something else but can't gather enough courage as job is paying well and paying my education loan also.

Please suggest what should I do?
How can I become better at my job and do well without feeling humiliation daily

Not able to perform

Huh! So i resigned from my job without any job offer. I am not sure if this is right/wrong, dumb decision maybe but i was at my saturation point. I joined this organisation as APM in April 2024 and resigned in September end, almost a 6 months of journey. This was a fast faced startup with a lot of micromanagement and toxicity. My manager was an asshole. There was a time when i was filling time sheets which was just to justify my manager. Imagine a product manager filling time sheet who is already involved in multiple small and large discussion with tech,qa, marketing, operations etc. The shift was of 9 hours and he asks me to stretch to 10 hrs sometimes as he as a bad habbit of same. There is much more. One day due to an instance i decided to resign without any job offer. My family did supported me which also gave me the confidence to do so. I don’t know what to say to next companies. When will I get a new job. Just wanted to share this somewhere and thought of putting it up here. Open for all your thoughts and comments. Also,Let me know if anybody could help me in any referrals😅preferably in Delhi ncr- Hybrid/wfh.

Resigned without job offer

Associate Product Manager

I cracked an internship 7months ago and currently working as part-time employee as frontend developer in that company.
I want to get into fullstack or backend but can't leave a company because they are paying well and their backend stack way different + they are in need of frontend developer.

I'm at the early stage of my career & I believe I should to explore, but I think no company will pay me well as this does, so I prioritize money or explore backend? would like know your views on this. thanks

Kinda stuck at 1 place!!

(Trigger warnings ) I had a mental Breakdown two days where I actually contemplated to off myself. I feel I am completely stuck in my current job and mental health has taken a free fall. There has been nothing to look forward to in my job career is absolutely stagnant I remember days i stayed up in night just ensure smooth deliverables but none of that translated to promotions or hike well I know you all will say why didn't you switch this is where the problem is I cannot bring myself to actually concentrate and prepare it seemingly a huge effort for me. I just not able to have that energy i feel absolutely negative. I could use some tough love. All I know is I cannot continue its literally do or die for me .PS : 2 days ago I "celebrated" 5 yrs work anniversary.

Mental Breakdown

If you mess up on a client engagement and can't finish a task properly? What happens ? What are the repercussions? I'm a fresher and I don't know what to do anymore ? Is this normal ? It's only been 7 months here , I'm a campus hire and I feel out of my depth? Seniors don't help that much as they're too busy? My anxiety is really high and I don't know really know what to do anymore.
Any tips advice would be helpful?

I made some wrong career choices and have ended up in a career that makes me really miserable. Have anyone of you changed your fields late in the game?

Intern

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I have been on a permanent wfh role since covid. Yes, been 2+ years since I stepped into an office. I stay alone and have little expenses but also 0 social life. Friends are all spread out. Not on any dating app because its exhausting. Can someone just talk about any impacts on their personal life from work life? Does anyone here feel a void too? I’d love to connect.

WFH = 0 Social Life

I have been working remotely and honestly, I don't want to go to office ever (at least that's what I feel right now) 
  
 I don't want to become besties with my coworkers, and I stay with family so I'm very happy spending all my time with my favourite people in the world! I also have the option of traveling and have decided to take an out of Delhi trip every 2 months at least 
  
 I might be biased, because my parents and immediate family are professionals as well and have home offices, so all my life, I've had the kind of atmosphere where offices don't play a huge role, so I'm happy! 
  
 But yes, I suppose I do get the socialising aspect, it becomes harder to make friends as one grows older, especially when all your school/college friends have office jobs 🙃🙃

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hello folks! I come with 4 years of work experience out of which I worked in very small but great agencies for 2 years. In the past 2 years, I’ve been on the growth generalist side but I’ve taken up some great amount of responsibilities. 

- I’ve driven user adoption for a feature from 0 to 1 million 
- I’ve worked with giants like Disney on their product strategy
- I’ve handled budgets of $1 million for a year long campaign and successfully reached the target metrics 
- I’ve also closely worked with the leadership on several new initiatives, acting as a program manager 

I come from a non-tech undergrad background but honestly, I’ve worked on entire product cycle ranging from finding the right solution for different features, identifying third party providers to creating user flows and wireframes.

I’m on the lookout for a new opportunity, already quit my job. Work has gotten rather crazy with so much time out but considerable change in leadership affecting me negatively, having to build credibility every time. I’ve had my manager change 4 times in a year. 

If you know any startups that would be happy to have me, I’d love an intro. 

Thank you!

Opportunity hunting - Growth/Strategy roles

Growth Manager

Hi folks, I am a fronted developer with  5+ years of experience in TCS. I am doing well in my previous project but that is complete then I joined another project where I am struggling to do a smaller job as well. I am not sure what's going to happen to me every time I am the only person who always points out even if I make that mistake or not. Even though nothing motivated me, day by day my performance was going down I am feeling tired from this same time I am thinking about leaving the project and searching for something new but they are not releasing me. Due to this I visit the doctor and he says you are in depression and suggest some pills. Nothing motivates me here. Can anyone suggest to me what I do now.
