Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

I have many friends who are into IT and Tech(read again Tech not IT). Whenever I am speaking to the IT folks and understand their aspirations I always find that they have this strange thing mentioned every now and then i.e. Going to the Clients location(all overseas) for a couple of months and coming back or extending for a longer duration say a few years and purchasing a house/flat back in India. 

I don't understand how going to the client's location(even if it's on Mars) and earning $$$ can be life's ultimate goal. 

What am I missing here? 

I am not able to understand since I have always believed that life's ultimate goal would be always bigger for people(achievable/non achievable are different things). 
Does working in IT make people so myopic that they are destined to think in  the straight line process and wait for that token(at least what I have heard is that it's some weird selection they do to select and send you abroad on the projects). May be this thought process makes most of the crowd stick to the systems for years and decades at work. Is it considered that bigger of an achievement OR Is it a way to make people stick around for longer duration ?

What am I missing here ?

How can life goals be so small ?

Why do IT folks consider going at Clients location(foreign location) at their ultimate goal in their life?

Hi, guys

I'm just wondering about the general practice of referrals followed by everyone here.

Do you only refer people you've worked with and no to be good, or do you forward referrals of unknown people as well?

A couple of my former colleagues periodically hit me up, I mostly ignore their messages (cause all they'll message is "Hi" or "Hey" and ain't no one's got the time for that) but I know it's about getting them a job (because of all the times in the past I've been polite and responded to their "Hi"s). While I do not currently have enough clout in the industry to push around referrals, the thing is, they're simply not good at their jobs, or at least upto my standards and I'd feel uncomfortable referring someone their name knowing they won't do a good job! I don't want my referrals to reflect badly on me... So, just wondering about people's opinions here!

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I am joining an e-commerce startup next week. They sent an old used laptop. Old laptop is OK, companies do it all the time but this laptop was dirty. They didn't even try to refurbish it. I feel pissed off. What should I do?

I am just speechless. Can't believe that this can happen.

Got fired for using betting apps and trading on company laptop...

Everyone knows you are not supposed to use company laptop for anything personal. This startup I used to work part-time for during college had some monitoring software on their laptops.

Somehow intimate moments were leaked of someone on the team, she slammed such a case on these fuckers that the entire startup almost got wiped out in legal fees.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

As a software engineer with over 1000 connections, including hiring managers, I've reached out to 500+ individuals for a job, but to no avail. It feels like I'm begging for a chance while facing silence or inappropriate advances. The reality is stark: despite qualifications, opportunities are scarce. It's a grim truth for IT newcomers, where hope is fleeting.

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

Guys it's a very clinched topic now but I need to vent out my frustration. I am in SAP technology space with 14 years of work experience and working as an architect. 

Nowadays there is a severe issue with the expertise of SAP resources, a lot of them with 8-9 years of experience can't even explain to customers while discussing or brainstorming issues. These guys need a lot of spoon feeding to continue work. The majority of projects have hardly 10% resources who are good and managing the work. 

Is it the same across all companies and projects. Please share.

Share some jobs or function names which are highly overvalued and overpayed?

Mine. I am a DevOps engineer at a fintech startup, I write server configurations for 45L/y and I work about 10 - 20 hours a week, remotely. I keep thinking they’ve figured out how easy my job is and decided to fire me and then instead they tell me I’m doing a great job and promote me 🤌🏻

Hi,
I am looking for a shared room near Gachibowli.

Any gender is fine
I am male working for an IT company.
References are appreciated.
Thank you

Room Requirement

I have seen so many posts, on Grapevine alone, of how people are being harrassed and traumatized in their companies. And honestly, reading all those posts and comments scare the hell out of me because I haven't been subjected to or witnessed anything like this.

Let me share the experience I have had till now:

I have ~2 YOE, and Capgemini is my first company. I know the pay isn't great, but that's the only thing I don't like about the company. 

The people I have met or worked with in the entirety of my time here, they are supportive, kind, and considerate. Every single one of them, including the managers/directors. They don't expect you to work late hours or on weekends, unless there are critical escalations/important deadlines.

My manager gives out words of thanks and appreciation, even on the smallest of things (yes he talks strictly too, and usually I am at the wrong when this happens, nothing major though). I get all the support that I need. I don't have to worry about the work life balance.

I have never had a single issue with a teammate, and most of them are seniors whom I work with. No big egos, no attitude, nothing. They help out whenever I reach out to them.

And it is the same story on my client side as well. 

I have worked/interacted with both male and female leaders, and all I have ever seen among everyone is empathy, respect for everyone's work, and always ready to help nature.

I understand that this is all just my experience, but my reason for writing this post is to share a positive experience and that there are still good people around here.

Maybe I am the odd one out (on the happier side)

Here is something I can tell you about bias. It is human nature to be very emotional and complain when things are bad and not talk about it too much when things are good.  
  
 Forums like Grapevine and Blind are filled with unhappy posts because of this reason. Most people complain when things are bad. Hardly anyone praises when things are good. For every bad post you see here, I am sure people are out there having a good time at work.  
  
 Treat this with a pinch of salt and live out your career, you only have one. Don’t be bogged down and settle because you are scared of the unknown.

Is everyone on this app from Bangalore/ doing IT engineering stuff?

There has been a huge influx of posts dissing roles like Product, Marketing, HR etc. by Techies.

Every other post, or comment is made by them undermining the value of other depts and these cuties think business runs just by their sub-par code.

I understand that their delusion stems from the fact they get paid huge salaries by loss making companies. Which is bound to crash sooner or later. 

Rant over.

Why are Techies so delusional?

Interesting POV. 
  
 Nassim Nicholas Taleb mentions an interesting advice. If you don’t know what to do, follow what the smartest people in your generation are doing. 
  
 These are almost exclusively fulfilling and financially attractive opportunities 
  
 According to him, in the 1990s Lebanon, the smartest kids in undergrad went and became Economists. In the 2010s, the smartest kids became Software Engineers. 
  
 Perhaps, their ego does not stem from the money but from competence.  
  
 However, true charisma is merging that competence with warmth. And for that, you must eliminate the ego.
