At HCL you need to work the weekend too , No excel only chemical powder

Ha ha and somebody shared a post on how good HCL is on GV yesterday I guess 🤣🤣

You will get scared, if you know about HCL. But survive we need to do a job or else I am going to smash all companies. Every corporate company is the worst, but HCL is no. 1 worst in that list.

Wait till you start comparing different types of washing liquids and fabric conditioners, feel like you’re an expert engineer as you know all the modes of washing. Then you’ll find joy in the weekends 🥲

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have been in this industry for 4 years now and there is not a single day that i hated this place any less. Today 9th August 2023 i am all alone in my room thinking to myself about what’s the point of this? 

I have no life i am all alone and tbh i have no real friends. A few of them that i do have are so far away from me busy in their life. No love life no social life. At 27 i feel wasted, done, finished let me clarify not in a suicidal way. I just feel exhausted my body is breaking down by the day i feel. I am just broken at this point and feel like quitting this profession altogether. I just don’t feel happy. The more i work the more irritated and frustrated i get.
To top all that i have no one to share my emotions with here. Call it whatever you may wanna call a cry for help, a rant or nonsense. I am at that point where every morning feels like punishment. Every night that i go to bed i try to stay positive but i am not able to. I just hate everything. 
I am not a lazy man i work for 10-12 hours everyday and i think now that has finally got to me as i feel finished.
I don’t know if anyone will read it or not i just wanted to reach out to people or anyone who feels like me. Broken tired and just done with everything.

Can anyone explain me what’s the point

Backend engineer

The star of college who feared nothing. Always in the middle of girls. Ready to take anyone for friends. The late night party star. The fake promises to stop smoking. Currently no Frns by side. Always logging into the mobile banking app. Kind of confused everytime. Worried about finances. Stuck between wife’s and mothers fights. Worried about future. But yes the is also a phase of life. Many things to come. Staying strong 💪

Hello, how's your life going lately my friend?

I used to be a creative guy in my mid 20s. I learned to play a guitar, could sketch pretty well and also used to work out pretty regularly.
Lift has changed drastically in the last 2 years and I now find myself no time to spend on my hobbies. I tuned 30 recently and have been under slight shock that my responsibilities are bound to increase due to family and work.
I had no responsibility till now and had lived a care free life.
Now that I am engaged, I've realized that I need to dedicate my time for my family, my well being, my upskilling and also some to to evaluate my finances. This has also made me realize that I won't have enough time for my hobbies/interests. I badly want to learn to play an electric guitar and the fact that I won't have much time terrifies me as I need to make a choice of doing something that I love (learn to play a guitar) or doing something that helps me to live a life and pay off my bills which basically is my full time job.
I might have a child in another 4-5 years and the responsibility of having a child terrifies me even more. 
I don't want to make a choice between being there for my child and being there for my work.
I'm not sure if I'm over thinking or just being realistic but not having enough time for yourself due to work and family has been bothering me lately. 
I'm 30 and the fact that responsibilities are bound to increase in my life terrifies me.
Is this a common and a normal feeling or is this unnatural?

Folks who are working in your 30s, do you still find time to work on your hobbies? If yes, how are you able to manage your family life, work life, upskilling, working out and making time for your hobbies?

Welcome to Retail Therapy's Private Community

I am 23M working in a well renowned Fintech startup. Have got what I have dreamed of in college like high ownership, good pay and other similar things. But lately realized that I can't do these things for my majority of life. Although I enjoy my work but still feeling lonely and aimless.

Previous to September it was remote but now they have made it hybrid and I have to reallocate to Gurgaon and now I am feeling more lonely and aimless in life.

Have tried travelling and other stuffs inorder to find interest in life but nothing excites me.

What to do in life? Feeling aimless

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Some days going to office just feels like I am just existing to show up. 

Anybody feeling the same way?

Just Showing Up

Yeah Same Bro, My Office lacks a culture of keeping folks motivated, it fails to give a reason for people to come to office. No office parties or informal catch-ups for over a year makes it worse.

It's been 4 years since covid started and all of us went into the first lockdown (24 March 2020). I just thought of this while making another post, and this has actually taken me aback. It was such a crazy time, and now it's just long gone. 

- We got a lot of time to be home, to be around loved ones, most of us are privileged and hence Covid wasn't bad at all. We were mostly making Dalgona Coffee, sourdough bread, playing PUBG, watching movies, etc. 

- A lot of us also lost loved ones. It was really brutal for those who did. And it was always scary for the rest of us. 

- Most of us who have been in tech saw our salaries climb the fastest. The absolute peak job market, best hikes, the world was very positive in that sense - not as much work and enough pay to enjoy 

- The biggest thing I've noticed: Covid got me hooked to Instagram/YT Shorts/and other social media. I feel like I used to be more aware and awake before covid. Somehow, a lot of exposure to social media/content etc. has made me just very zoned out in life. I think a lot of us have a much shorter attention span. 

IDK if this is true, but certainly feels like it is true. 

Just penning this down because I'm genuinely tripping how long it's been.

4 years since Covid started. What are your memories from that time? How have you evolved since?

Pre & Post Covid me are different person.  
 I don't know that guy now. And for some reason it looks like a decade has passed by yet the lockdown announcement on news just rings like as if it was yesterday. "bhaiyo beheno ..." 
    
 What I miss was empty roads. Blue skies of Delhi and pin-drop silence 24/7. Only rustling leaves and birds. For a moment the world looked at peace.  The sun was fantastic back then.  
  
 I am fortunate to be at this end of spectrum as others have disastrous circumstances. One thing I'm noticing since then. The time seems to be running abnormally fast now.  
 Like zipp! 3 months of 2024 gone.

Finance and personal : 
DINK, but planning. No major savings or investments. Will be only a few lacs (10-15 lacs) before the baby is here. Wife will be off the job for a couple of years. 
Will be living pay-check to pay-check on my income, with a family to support. 


Struggling with health. Gained 20 kgs in 3 years. 
Putting efforts to undo this, but struggling. 

Professional: 
8 yoe+ in Product management. 
Current employer not aligned with long term personal goals ( post 5 years type goals - tier 2 settle in, remote etc ) 
No increment since quite a while…company is growing but slowly. 

Mentally: 
Nothing is making sense. In the larger scheme of things, nothing really matters.
Inertia is there to change job. No motivation to work at all. What will I even do after a job change ?
There is no excitement of the same. 
No excitement of starting up myself either. 
Something doesnt feel right. 

I used to be the powerhouse of energy and motivation, a while back. 
Now I’m just the opposite. Is it fatigue speaking ?

Feeling unmotivated at 32 already, in various aspects of live. Framework to solve it ?

[Thread] What's something that didn't workout and NOW you are glad it didn't

Looking back I am glad that the plan of stopping with a single child didn’t workout as expected. I didn’t know that it would just double the happiness, both for us and our elder child.
