So it's basically about when something good happens to you, like getting a new job. Do you believe in telling your friends or relatives in advance, before joining? Or do you prefer to share the news on the joining day through LinkedIn or some posts?

The fear I have in my mind is that if I tell them in advance, I might not get the offer or something bad may happen. In the past, my 8 LPA job offer was revoked, and then I landed a 6.5 LPA job, but the package changed to 4 LPA. So I've decided not to tell anyone in advance about what's happening in my life.

Does it happens with you or I'm overthinking much 🤔 

If you think I sound crazy then do let me know how to overcome

I took the best offer I could get in the job market 3 months ago when things were gloomy.. I'm arguably getting paid close to market salary.
But I see way better opportunities opening up recently and I badly want to apply. I'm afraid having such a short tenure in a company will not look good on my resume. Am I over thinking?

3 months into my new job and feeling FOMO because the job market is back.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I recently joined an early age startup but that place was nothing what they told it’d be. So I decided to quit in 2 weeks. 

I now have an offer from a listed organisation and I am joining on Thursday. However, I haven’t told them about the last 15 days I spent at this startup and have submitted relieving of the last 2 orgs I worked with for 2 yrs each. 

Can there be a problem later?

What to do? Pls suggest guys

Senior Product Manager

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

So, my boss is an absolutely lovely person, and is the best boss I've had so far. Not to brag, but I'm also the best performer in my team, by a mile. So, while I do get my pats on the back, I'm also rewarded with more and more work. I love, atleast so far, what I do, so I didn't mind taking up more work, because I learnt a lot in the process too, and it helped my hone my craft better.

Cut to now, I'm losing interest in work. Don't feel like taking up any new work, no matter how exciting the brief, or how great its potential.

I feel like I'm burnt out. And majorly demotivated.

What makes it worse is seeing this other member in my team chill the absolute fk out. He's hardly even given any important projects because of what a waste resource he is.

I've also just been promoted. So, I'm not sure if I should share what's on my mind with my boss.

My mind says I shouldn't, but my heart says it should be fine.

What should I do about:
1. Telling or not telling my boss what I'm going through (because I'm scared if it'll come back to bite my later)
2. Me feeling extremely burnt out and demotivated.

Drop in a joke or two, if you want, but please drop in a serious and genuine reply too.

Should I tell me boss I'm burnt out?

No, please dont in my opinion. Are you not taking leave’s? Please take leaves. 
  
 It might be contradictory on what i said but when it comes to bosses, it better not to talk about burning out and demotivated etc. 
  
 If you still want to do, sound as positive as you can be.  
 Boss sab ka bharosa nahi yaar.

Background,
I got laid off from an organisation and by god's grace I had a offer, which was not that good 10% decrement in salary, but me being a scared person joined the company.

Now 1 month after I realised I can do much better and market seems to open up.

What should I tell the HR in 2 scenarios.

1. I had already started Interviewing and haven't mentioned that I was layed off. What should I tell if I get selected? 

2. If a opportunity comes to start Interviewing for seperate company, should I mention about ty current company or no?

PS. The work in current organisation is not that good and it's a contractual role.

Need advice on what to say to HR of new company .

I am from EY.I cleared the interview at Deloitte. I got a hike of 30% from fixed. Now my manager is saying I am due for promotion for this cycle and I will get promoted with 25-30% hike. Associate consultant to Consultant. Continued down...

Consultant

I have been recently laidoff. month end is my last working day. Should I tell recruiters that I have been laid off? Or should I not . If not, how can I hide it?

Need help with job search strategy

I am a 2023 graduate, and after receiving a decent job offer, I threw a party for my friends. One of my friends invited his friend who is not my friend, and though I didn't refuse, it later stung me when that person landed a better package. What hurt even more was that he didn't throw a party at all. Now, after a year, I've received a job offer that's a thousand times better than the package he got. I want to post a WhatsApp status flaunting my success only to him, but I'm struggling to come up with a caption that indirectly stings him. Can you help me out?

Guys please suggest some caption that would burn my friend to the core

I got laid off in Jan. Took 4 months to land a job finally and joined a new company in May.
This new company seems to be silently laying off people now in the name of cost cutting and likely be trying to raise next round of funding although they previously raised previous round in Aug-2022.
Although right now it's more of they need me (my role, I'm the only person of this role) more than I need them, I'm 70% confident that I might not be impacted, but the 30% chance is keeping me sleepless. What do I do? Pretty traumatized from the first layoff.

What should I do?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Context: 10.5 YOE, Marketing lead. I've been looking for a switch since September last year. I'd seen signs of maybe my role or the company itself folding very early and knew 'twas time to bolt. But it's not that easy. Back then - 1 year in a startup meant hey not bad, people still spoke to you and considered your profile. These days, they treat you like Ebola if you've not had your ass stuck in the same place for 3-5 years. 

Anyway, so the majority of my time searching for jobs was the shitty Easy Apply or IIMJOBS premium account route. Suprise suprise. It doesn't work. But hey I was still employed and not nearly as motivated as someone who's unemployed. 

Cut to layoffs: Got laid off with my whole team and a huge chunk of other leaders. My first layoff, felt hilariously like the last day of school. To the org's credit they gave us 3 month severance, leave encashments and extra months for those who'd been there for 2 years+. In hindsight hearing the horror stories of 2k severance from Byju's. I'm grateful for the nice golden parachute I got. I'll be honest, it contributed heavily to my mental stability. I had time, I had leverage, I didn't have to run for the first shitty opportunity that came my way. 

The How I did it (why you struggled through the above stream of consciousness) 

- Wrote to 159 founders with one pagers to 35 of them with ideas on how i'd lead their marketing function. 5 replies. 3 interviews. 2 offers - didn't take em cuz they were super early stage or diff cities. This is immediately in month 1 so I've already started feeling icky about not getting great brands to have in my set. 
- Easy Applied to 768 (I ran a Gmail search, this is a real number) jobs. 99% no responses or you've been rejected. 
-Kept changing one letter on my Naukri.com profile, got me 6 calls, 3 interviews and 1 conversion 

I think theres a word limit to posts 🥲 following up as comments below.

Finally got a job (here's the do's and dont's)

Part 3 
  
 - Add HRs and hiring managers on LinkedIn, send them free ideas and strategies. Its ok if they steal them it meant they were great. One of them will refer you, remember you or hire you. 
 - Have a CV and a summary (half a page) that gets people excited about wanting to read the CV. Only areas of expertise and bullet points for results  
 - Don't put the OpentoWork filter on your LinkedIn DP. Its radioactive. I know people actively avoid those profiles. But make sure to keep open to work beacon on for recruiters. It pushes you ahead  
 - Dont post low effort i need a job because im laid off, i dont have money, copy pasted by millions on Linkedin. If you're gonna publically ask for a job, make sure that post has enuff of your skillset screaming for a potential hirer to want to explore more. Else you'll get velle gadhe typing CFBR 
 - Dont be anal or choosy about interviewing, i literally gave 35-50 in 3 months that culminated in 4 offers. Each one taught me something, heck ive spoken to startups with 7 peeps in it  
 - The only one that can negotiate CTC is the one that can walk away. When the offer i wanted finally came, my fixed went down a tad, but variable increased. The role was worth it so i didnt bother negotiating. Places i wasnt excited about - oh i quoted 30% hikes and got it at one place :p

Brand Marketing Manager

How many people here believe on this concept of "Nazar"...

I am currently serving my notice period (90 days). Had decided earlier to quit and then look for a role so that I can job hunt in relative peace without worrying about job performance (high impact and demanding role). Was interviewing with a bunch of startup’s and almost every hiring manager and HR asked about why are you quitting without an offer? Same people when I was interviewing while working were concerned about the 90 day notice. 

Is this considered as a concerning behaviour? Or just a negotiation tactic. 

Also, what is a correct response to this question in your opinion? The truth seems incredulous to these folks.

What’s the obsession with negative perception of quitting without an offer?

Head Of Marketing

My friend just got an offer for 32LPA + ESOPS. 
Which is great, i am really happy! 

But we both started at the same time in the same field, and i am at 18LPA no ESOPS, this difference feels a bit weird. 

Does that happen with everyone? Or am i the only one feeling this way? 

What should i do next? 🤒

Guys please suggest some caption that would burn my friend to the core.

So I’ve been with my firm for almost 8 years now and honestly it’s become more of a second home for me. I honestly want more exposure and experience different office culture but it’s difficult to leave a job that I got through when I was in college. Am I the only one feeling this way? Any suggestions/recommendations appreciated!
