So what? Sharmaji ki beti has earned 10k grapes. I've heard she's getting marriage proposals from filthy rich (unlike you) NRIs.

Let's go! 

What is your favourite part about your time here?
What is your worst? :p

Haha thanks  
 I guess fav part would obviously be the anonymity, more than reddit. Initially I installed to get career insights but turned out the community here is pretty good.  
 There is no worst part as such, yet :3  
  
 Wbu?

After countless sleepless nights, I’ve finally done it! Yes, my friends, I’ve reached a milestone that most people only dream of. *drumroll please* 🥁 ...

I just hit 1000 pointless points!!! 🎉🎉

Honestly, I’m just humbled 😌. I couldn't have done it without all the anonymous people I’ll never know or meet. Your upvotes really made this possible. 💯
And of course, I couldn’t have done it without... well, ME! ☝️🤓 

Anyway, I’ll keep grinding for that next totally insignificant milestone. 
Thank you all for your support. Here’s to the next *amazing* chapter of my life. 💅

Milestone Alert ✨ AMA

Milestone Alert ✨ AMA- Grapevine

Posting here not for bragging but to just let people like me know who look at extraordinary salaries and feel sad - it is possible just believe in yourself. I never thought I’d reach even this.

4.5 years of workex in a non-tech role, started with 35,000 monthly salary.

I know this number might not mean anything to the FAANG tech bros out there but for the rest here is a bit of context -

- I come from a middle class background 
- Not from Tier 1 college
- Not a software developer 
- No MBA as of now
- This doesn’t contain any inheritance 
- Send some money home every month for parents

Dont get overwhelmed, just keep your head down and don’t compare to anyone. I try to keep a strict budget, track every transactions, limit my needs but once a while splurge slightly when I feel like. 

See you all at the next milestone! 🍻

First Milestone - Hope many more to go

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey Folks, I thought I should do an AMA specially after yesterday’s rumours that I have been laid off from Grapevine - this isn’t true 😂. It is however true that I have been PIPed and have a much reduced role now xD 

To be serious: Happy to answer any Grapevine questions that you may have. Features, ideas, questions on why we do what we do welcome - I’ll answer what I can! 

Cheers!

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Here is the break-up - 
Residential Plot we Just bought from our Indian Stock Selling - 90L
Equity - 40L
Crypto - 6L
US Stocks - 26L
Mutual Funds - 10L
NPS and EPF - 22L 
Cash - 6L 

I have not factored in inheritance of about 1CR which will be passed on to us in a long time but I don't want to count that as mine I want to pass that to my son... As that will be his not mine! 

3.5 year back I had a educational loan of 17L and my Wife had Equity of 17L so basically we were at 0 at that time... 

Nothing has changed at all for me... And I do not think even 10-20CR would change me too 😉 I am still a confused stupid... And will be forever ♾️

I have resigned from my current job as I was not satisfied.. I am looking out for more opportunities outside so that I can build the house with that money! 

Even with 2 CR I don't think I have achieved anything ... I have a long way to go from here ☺️

Reached about 2CR! Still Feel Poor! WTH is Wrong!

Not 2Cr even 20Cr you won't be satisfied. 
  
 First, think about what you want out of life, money is not (the only) goal.

If I can do it anyone can. being a women and reaching this seems an accomplishment started with 5000 rs salary no one had faith I could do this.

Reached a milestone today! started with 5000rs salary

Wow 🎉🎉 
 Just curious what was the period and what do you do ?

Seeing @micheal_scott welcoming 3 peeps into the 10K club while I’m actually not that far 🥲🥲

What's your "waited my whole life for this" moment?

Reached 2000 🍇 😌

The power of compounding really works! 
Started with a meagre salary of 4L/annum in 2018. But made sure to SIP 5K every month in Mutual Funds, and kept on increasing with career progression. This could’ve been more but I wasn’t able to regularly SIP during the two years of my masters I did after my first job. 

This may not be as much as the other tech dude bros out here sitting in CRs but this is a big milestone for me and all I’d like to say is SIP really does work and it’s all about being in the long run. Onwards and upwards only now 💪🏼💪🏼

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am originally from a small town and did my BSc in Computer Science. My relatives and neighbours used to say that I am a good for nothing freeloader who is a "nikamma" - unemployed. It was very hard to find a job back then and I used to have deep anxiety about it. My only dream was to get my fathers appreciation. He is my biggest hero. 

So I started preparing very hard and practiced my skills. The only one who supported me was my mother who used to give me tea even at 3 in the morning while I used to study. Even my own father gave up on me and from time to time he used to say that if you are living under my roof then you have to follow my rules. He also used to say that look at the neighbour's ladka who got a government job and he asked me to prepare for Bank PO.

So I moved out from my town and shifted to Gurgaon where I got a small PG with some money that my mother had given me. I also started freelancing on Fiverr and which led me to improve my communication skills. Finally, when I got my Google offer letter I felt like I made it. It was the best response to all the taunts by people around me. 

I suddenly became a superstar in my town with people congratulating my parents. I bought my mother gold bangles and dad a new watch with my first salary. I was looking at my offer letter today and it reminded me of all the hardwork I did to achieve this moment.

This is the story of my life. In case anyone needs help. I am ready to provide support to aspirants here as a way to give back.

Family said I am good for nothing but I finally I got an offer from Google

This is what 100% of Indian men want to achieve since their childhood. Jewellery for Mom and Watch/Car for Dad. It is an appreciation for all the hard work they put in to help us succeed in life.
