Train me to get a job at FB. I'll pay you a good amount if got selected.

There are no jobs at FB. Now or in near future.

Create a YT channel & start selling courses.

Try freelancing if your skillets allow so

Freelancing is not meaningful work for me at this point!

No motivation to find new job- Grapevine

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

I am 31 M and am married with no kids as of yet. 

I have been to the US for my master's and also did a job there for some time. I came back to India in 2020 due to visa issues. 

Ever since then I have been thinking of going out of India, maybe to Canada (or nowadays Nordic countries are also accepting immigrants). But I am confused and unsure of what to do. 

I feel stuck here at my current job and feel like I haven't grown much. There are a lot of opportunities in other countries and the biggest motivation is lifestyle upgradation.

On the other hand, going to other countries would also mean a lot of struggle at this stage of my life, which I did the first time around when I went to the US. Plus there is this war situation happening in multiple countries. No one knows what will happen of that.

One more factor is - India is also doing fairly well and is seen as having the maximum growth potential in the next 5-10 years

What do you suggest? What are the points that I should consider? 

Also if I were to try to move out, which countries would you recommend I look at? What are the benefits? 

Help please!!!

Should I move out of India?

Product Manager

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Left previous job due to severe toxicity in the entire co. Only 2 senior level people would boss around the entire co. and then put the blame on junior roles if things didn't move as expected. 

Been on the lookout for a new role for almost 2 months now but to no avail. I'm exhausted. Don't know how to go about it. Lost all motivation.

But I know for a fact I'm fucking great at what I do. 

In case you're aware of companies that are hiring for a PM role, please share.

Program Manager

I am seeing lots of startups are firing these days even previous year it was happening.

Would like to know the mindset of employees who got saved. Like to know what goes inside your head. How do you deal with this situation as it can happen with who got saved somehow, etc etc

What is the morale of employees in company where layoff happens

Android Engineer

Been over a month I have been laid off. For the first time in almost 4 years I have had no work at all for over a month. Feels a bit good, a bit relaxed from the immense work pressure and toxicity but at the same time lot of pressure with regard to finances, as and more days are passing. Have been taking time out to upskill myself, applied to over 300+ jobs maybe by now. Got call backs from 10-12, interviewed with 5. None of them turned out to be positive yet. Lot of sympathy and empathised content goes on LinkedIn but reaching out to people, 1/15 may respond, putting a status, people just write CFBR mostly (hence I totally avoided that).

Any advice, tips, help would be appreciated.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am preparing for the Staff engineer role. Have put my resignation without any offer in hand due to being highly underpaid, no recognition towards my high-value work, poor management, toxic work culture and work-life balance.

I lose all my motivation to study gauzing at the things I am yet to study for the interviews.

I don't want to settle with another mediocre company and stay under paid just like today.
At the same time I don't have any monetory reserve to feel safe on financial side.

Please help me with your words and past experiences of being in a similar situation.

Motivate me pls

Its been 3 months since I left my last company after completing 8 months of internship, I rejected the full time offer because I was exploited and work culture was very toxic, since then I applied to more than 100+ jobs online and hardly converted 5 interviews and got 1 offer for part time which is soon going to be revoked, assuming from the company's behaviour. At this point I have lost all the motivation to work, improve and apply for jobs I am tired and drowing in self doubt. It even kills me to see the people who are not skilled as I am are getting good jobs and salary. With all this my family is not so supportive and not a single day has passed where I didn't get into arguments with my parents.

Struggling with Job Search and Self-Doubt

All the people working in startup in stealth mode how much confidence do you have in your company products? And what is the motivation to join stealth startups ?

Frontend Engineer

Hi,
I am not finding any motivation to do anything. I have free time in office but not wanting to do anything. :(

Lack of motivation

Guys, i am in final year B.Tech, currently preparing for placements. 

My Parents advice is to prepare for Govt Jobs. They are fearing about the layoffs, but my aim is to get job in anyone of the MAANG.

I just want to know why layoffs happening. Is it because of the over hiring or because of the poor performance of the employees.

Please share your experience in your company too.

PS: Please upvote to get more reach.

Why still layoffs in MAANG?

3 yoe but have lost the will to hustle and mehnat

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Rant alert: 

Have you felt the same way? How many years of work ex after which you started feeling this way? 

Stability and money I’m grateful for. But I hate the constant comparison and competitiveness among peers/colleagues. Makes me want to quit and do a Teach for India fellowship. A little corporate detox. 

Wish I had become an athlete instead. I know it’s not an easy life, but It’s the kind of competitiveness I’m inclined towards. Not inclined towards the kind where you compete with people to please a company that will never care for you as a human. But people fail to recognise that, lose perspective, and lose themselves too. People have no class in this shitty world. If I have kids, they’re definitely becoming athletes and not entering this hellhole. 

Most ironically, I’m borderline considering an MBA to escape the corporate life for 2 years, but obviously I’m aware I will only get entrenched further in it due to the degree.

Corporate is not for me

Oh man. Just hoping for the day i can quit it all. Right now on the blue pill, but ek din ayega. I'm convinced only sociopaths and people with no personalities can enjoy being in this rut. Lavda build something - it's just about keeping the hamster wheel rolling.

Brand Marketing Manager

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.

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 ?

I had a dream to buy a gaming console since my college days or even before from the time I had seen console online on YouTube etc.
That time I used to dream about it how I am going to buy one and play all of the games and enjoy
After my job in 2021 I had enough money to buy one and I did bought PS5 at that time I was excited about that for about a month or two.But after that it's only downhill.
Not able to play any games because motivation is not there or I am over worked in my IT company.
Did anyone faced similar issue or games these days are not that good or maybe expensive?.

Gaming dilemma🎮

Salesforce Developer

So last year March i got laid off. Was there with the company for more than 5 years. Was told they are restructuring the org. I was devastated, though i wanted to move much before, but company did not cut pay or jobs during the peak pandemic, so i thought ill stick around for some more time. Next thing i know boom gone. I have taken a break since then almost did nothing.it's more than a year but anxiety of shitty boss, long hours work is hitting me even harder as i apply for jobs. Don't know how the market is going treat me.

Anxiety of joining work again

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I am a fresher doing b.tech in cse, I don't have a job right now, my previous company declined thr joining due to which I was not able to apply for other jobs coming on campus. My friends got job somewhere, I feel very disappointed in myself and I can't see my family lower their expectations in me. Mentally I am not in the state to do anything, I think my life is falling apart although it didn't even start. I am lacking motivation, I cry all the times thinking what will happen now. My father is retired, he's getting old, I want to give him that luxury and things but I can't get success thay easily. I am struck at the lowest point in my life. Even my friends are not helping me. I don't share my feelings with anyone. I don't know what to do should I look for a job or start preparing for MBA or MS in USA. I know this point came in life of many people, please help out I can't see myself going anywhere.

Don't have a job and going to graduate in 1 month
