Need advice!

I am a 2023 graduate and I have joined the company in 2022 as Software Development Intern. I have completed my internship and working as a full time. The environment of the company is very toxic and there is too much politics (even in getting user stories). I want to switch company so badly, but i don't know why I am not getting interview calls and revert back from any company. I daily apply for atleast 2-3 companies, I have good profile on leetcode, good projects. Can someone please guide me what should I do to make a switch.

So i joined this mature startup 10 months back, and my role as per JD was team leader. Till date I am doing the IC role and doing all day sales calls. I have highlighted the same to my manager and skip level, but always getting answer like it is new product, market situation is no good, we believe in lean structure etc. I am tired of doing same shit everyday. What’s your suggestion?

Hey peeps! Currently working in a Fintech company in Mumbai as a Frontend Engineer with over a year of experience. The current CTC is 7 LPA. I feel like the growth here is limited and from the past few months there's been a lot of micro-management. Even the CTC is not up to Mumbai's expense standard. I live in a soapbox and pay like 1/5 th of monthly salary. Standard of living has been decreasing while it should be opposite. + I've 6 days work week with 9 hours /day shift. Although I've decided to drop in papers soon, I'd like to hear your opinions. Brownie points if you refer me to some good early stage startup probably in BLR or Pune or Remote.

Toxic partner, toxic manager, toxic senior. BUT I LOVE MY COMPANY AND WORK PROFILE. What should be done?

I'll set the context here. I was suppose to join a new organisation in the start of the year but it went on a hiring freeze immediately after my notice ended with my then employer. I ended up accepting the first offer that came my way. It was not of my desired profile but it was better than being jobless. Now, couple of months into the new job, I realize this is a very toxic place to be. Dormant founders only caring about money, rampant nepotism, no clear path for career growth. It is becoming difficult to sustain at this place. I've been trying but now I can feel my mental health dwindling because of it. I dread going to office everyday. But again, in this job market, atleast I have a job. The product role I mentioned is still on pipeline but no one knows when the freeze will end. My hiring manager and HR are pushing for my candidature (according to them) but management isn't allowing them to move ahead with new hires. Now my question is, should I quit my job and try finding my desire role (which seem like a humongous task) or stay put and wait for a offer to come and then leave my current employer? I'm torn. I dread going to office everyday. I don't know how much do I have it in me to keep continuing but I'm pushing my limits. Want some advice from fellow grapeviners here. TIA!

I am an APM with 1 YOE, I am fed up with this toxic culture & couldn’t feel any progress post college. I am thinking of quitting in the coming month & go home & figure out for a next gig, also move to Bangalore. Questions: Should I quit or not? Would I get a better comp? My current comp. is 12.35L What are the things I should note before I make a move & what would you advice personally.

I am SDE and I joined a company 2.5 months back. I don't like the work that I am doing and the company is far from being profitable+ a huge cash burn + management is not good. I interviewed with some other company and they have offered me a role. On paper it's an upgraded role but they are offering the exact salary as the current one + some esops. Would you accept the offer if you were in my place? Some general info: 1. Hate the work I am doing currently, the knowledge I get here can't be used in other companies. 2. Work is slow, not learning anything new 3. New company seems good from outside till now, have to validate with ex-employees 4. New company has Hybrid work, current is WFO 5. Have another offer which is paying a bit more than the 'new company' but don't want to join it, These guys are not matching the offer sadly

1. Never compromise on ds/algo practice and design. You should get time every week for this. 2. Never trust any company and don't settle 3. Company can replace you anytime. HR just need to float job and hundreds of applicant will apply whereas if you need to find a job you first have to grind LC and design and then you will get ready. This makes a uneven situation. 4. You are not replaceable for your family, friends and loved ones Benefits of working in toxic or too much work environment 1. Learning 2. A little better payscale 3. Close peer group of colleague Cons 1. You won't get time for practice your interview skills so you would have hard time cracking interviews 2. High pressure can leads to high stress that can lead to less growth in long run and burn out. Once you burn out, your Employer attitude may change 3. You would not have time for your friends and family. You may even lose your social circle. Whereas the colleague group that you would form would start to fade away once you leave that place. 4. It would form a unbalanced relationship where you are more dependent on your Employer and won't be able to do much even if you get less increment or other issues 5. You would not have time for investment or growing your wealth. Your long term wealth is not how much you earn it is how much you have(savings + growth on saving) What to do if you feel you join such company - find opportunities and get out in initial days or probation period. You can wipe out that experience from your resume - Contact the companies you had offer from and ask them to reconsider if they can What to do if you are stuck in such company - do a little less work and start preparing. Once you are little confidence start doing lesser work and look for opportunities. At this point in time you don't have to fear them much. Firing is pretty common now - Be aware of your rights in worst case as per employment agreement
