What do you do when people around you are smoking and suddenly you’ve cravings for it? 

I’ve tried quitting multiple times. But I fall in trap again and again. Especially when people around me are smoking.

Let me start by listing mine
1. Get into shape 💪 - I’ve set a target weight for myself, and a target muscle mass and body fat percentage 
2. One book a month 📕 - This is something I’ve tried over and over but never seemed to achieve.
3. Delve deeper into devops 🔄
4. Complete a few side projects I’ve had in my backlog for months
5. Quit smoking 🚭

Anyone who has quit smoking 100 pc.  Please share the ways - how.

Smoking quit.

Operations Manager

Just putting it out there. 
If you quiet quit and decide to focus on finding another job.
If you have other priorities like fitness, family or other things that are more important to you than advancing in your career.

Whatever your situation is, breathe. But do not procrastinate or lose hope if some interview or anything doesn't go well.

Consistency compounds. Remember that.

Note to self: Even doing the bare minimum takes effort.

Hello Grapeviners

So I guess I hit the mid-life career crisis and finally resigned from Microsoft abruptly yesterday. 

Reasons for resignation:
1. I am saturated with my work and feel out of fuel now.
2. No Pay Raise or Stocks since 2 years.
3. No Promo in last 2 years even after being a top performer and winning multiple awards and accolades.
4. Was promised by my manager that I will be promoted in Feb but now he/she quotes budget.

What my manager says:
1. You have a valid L1B, don't resign.
2. Says you will get the promo in September but now it is not possible.

Please Note: I resigned abruptly without any offers in hand. I guess managers think that folks who have L1B won't resign so their promo can be delayed.

Just wanted to share with the the community. Thanks 🙏

Resigned from Microsoft

Product Manager

Sober for 2 years, and my lifestyle hasn't been compromised one bit. I still go to bars with my friends, I even make cocktails for them when they come home. My family drinks, and I just have some random non alcoholic drink to say cheers with. I have no urges for alcohol whatsoever. 

Best decision I've ever made.

After 27 years of an alcohol soaked lifestyle, I quit. Ask my anything!

I want to quit my job and take a break. 

I Have been contemplating to do the same for almost an year but decided not to do it. So many things have happened since then

1. Layoff wave started in india
2. Got married
3. Had to move back to bangalore from hometown

Reason I want to quit is I don't feel like working , feeling bored and work doesn't interest me that much. 

I want to take a break chill for a bit but don't have guts to do the same considering market conditions ( what if I don't get a job when I am back in the market😅) 

Please give any advice on how to tackle this situation or if someone has gone through the same, would love to hear your experience. 

Also how is the product hiring currently in India? 

PS:  I do have a good runway for 4-5 months considering all expenses but I am scared to take the step

How is the market currently for product managers?

I have the worst luck anyone could imagine. Recently joined new org, the project for which I was hired got shut down and now I am being moved to a role which is not at all what I signed up for. Currently working in Supply Chain Management specifically Warehouse Management. 

I am so fed up with this on floor roles. Want to work in role where I get to use my brain. Going to learn programming. No idea how to start. Can someone help me in finding a path to a better job.
For me a better job is anything that pays more than 7LPA which is remote and the skills required are in demand and can be learnt in few months.

Thanks in Advance.
