Need some solid advice

Hello good folks of grapevine, I am very confused with my situation right now. I am currently working at a consumer tech unicorn in a strategy role but really burnt out with the working environment. I have no clarity on my roles and responsibilities which keeps changing every week. I am not learning much either. I am planning to quit without any offer in hand (notice period is 2 months, I have enough to survive 5-6 months). I am an IIT-IIM graduate (old ones). Total YOE ~ 4.5 years across strategy consulting, project management and strategy at current startup. Please suggest. Folks who have quit without any offer in hand, how did it work out for you?

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?

Hi, I am a software developer have been in IT for last 8 years. I have seen a lot of post here saying they are confused to choose between a Very high ctc and pretty much good ctc + permanent WFH. If it was me i would be happily choosing the latter, but its not me and i always get WFO offers. I don't want such High ctc's, just 9 hour weekdays and weekends holidays.Which skills are you guys having to land such offers,which industry are you working for. I would like to know about your skills ,domain and industry you are working for.

I have been stuck in a bad project for an year now. Manager recently said that they would pull me in to another project with better tech which would take I think a 3-4 weeks to start and has told that I would be working on shared capacity between my old and new project till the old one completes which may take 3 months at least. I could secure another offer when I was earlier stuck with my old project but the offer isn’t lucrative in terms of money and close to no difference with my current package but the work and tech is good and offers wfh option as well. Any advice?

I recently graduated from a Tier-1 MBA college and got placed in a well-known digital firm as an Assistant Project Manager. I underwent compliance training etc for the first month and then got aligned to a tight deadline project as a developer, as there were no openings related to my expertise available. Note that I have no formal experience as a developer. The project is off the rails as no one here knows how to do their job properly. I am really exhausted and my health is getting affected. What can I do regarding this? What options do I have? Any guidance would be very helpful!

I have been working with Infosys for past 5years(total exp) and my current salary is 20LPA CTC. I work on Apple projects and the work has become repetitive over the last three years, primarily focusing on Java, Spring, Microservices, and Elasticsearch. I really want to join a product company now, for better compensation and more engaging work, but I’m uncertain how to proceed. I’ve just been writing APIs and scheduled jobs, and at this point I think I know nothing beyond it. The thought of facing the interview processes of tech giants for senior roles is daunting. Where should I start from? How do I regain my competence?

My last job ended in Dec 2023 as amazon contract employee , i am trying to get another for dec to till date, in jan nothing converted to offer letter. Last week i got 3 offers from different companies one is contract role that came first , another is a crm company , i don’t like this company as there would not be any growth here & another is a services based company , all companies are paying the around the same compensation around 15 lpa , I don’t think it the right amount for me has to join one company for bread & butter , any advice would be appreciated

I made a series of bad decisions, and for the last one year, I've been working as a data analyst, on third party payroll, and with 4 LPA package. I have 4 years of experience with gaps. The work is super hectic, and I am mostly working 9 to 11 just because the team is cheap to hire an extra resource and I am doing the work for multiple teams. I have to add that I have anxiety, and I have a difficult time saying no or asking questions. I was managing my life with this pay, but recently, I'm finding it a bit tough. I've been applying for different jobs, and i can't even seem to get an interview. I know unlike SDEs, analysts doesn't get paid on the same scale, but 4LPA seem to be a bit low. I don't know what else to add here, so please ask if any specific details are needed. I need to get my life sorted.

Hi everyone, I'm looking to switch jobs for a better pay as my current CTC is 4.06 LPA which doesn't suffice me at all. Also, I have got many calls for interviews but out of them only 6 interviews got arranged and in those interviews as well I am unable to ace them at all. I'm trying to apply for a Java Full Stack developer. I need suggestions as to where I should concentrate and how I should prepare myself. In the last few interviews that I gave, the interviewers asked questions about creating small programs and they didn't ask anything about my current and previous projects that I worked on. I need some suggestions as to what I can do here in this case. Also, how much salary can I expect for a switch if I have to answer for an expected salary. Thanks.

Hey guys, i'm looking for a job switch from my stressful job, the work that is given to me is very complicated and it stresses me out. I have survived for 9 months in my current role but my mental health is not good hence I wish to leave ASAP. I can't ask him to not give me complicated work as it won't look good, I think i was unlucky and landed in the wrong place. I want to tell my manager that i'm job hunting due to my mental health I think if I do this then he'll get off my back and stop pressing me to deliver quickly as he knows i'll be leaving. But with the current IT market and how the global economy has gone to shit, i'm not sure how long my job hunting will take. If it takes longer than 2 months then he'll think what this guy is still doing here. How would you guys handle it if you were in my shoes. Asking for a team change wont work as most teams are crap, they'll have to change my department, which I don't think they'll do.
