Can someone explain how this will affect India in short and long term

Business analyst

Oil prices will go up, since Iran is a major supplier of oil(unofficially). No effect in long term as of now. But things could escalate if war spreads to rest of middle east.

The need for Trump is greater than ever before. I hope common sense will prevail in the US.

Software Developer

Trump will ensure more equitable wars. So, India will have a war with China. Israel with Iran. And US with Common Sense

Machine Learning Engineer

This one's not gonna end soon. Could we expect not only increase in crude oil prices but falling of Indian stock markets as well?

Data scientist

Question is more towards understanding of a developer. May be at SDK or developer tools. 

Would love to understand on what can be built around SDK or developer tools.

Developers, How do you think PM’s can make your life easier technicall?

Hi, Just wanted to appreciate this channel. With the anonymity, people are really open on their perspectives of news and hence leads to a better debate. Also, since people are kind of educated and sincere, you see a better debate rather than the ones happening on twitter with all nonsense and abusive terms. I am a person who loves to discuss and debate current happenings with others and this channel actually has become a good platform for me.
So, thanks man!!

I have been looking for flats for about 2 months now, finally found a decent, affordable place. . 
In my search for a place in my preferred area, I could not find one place with a per person rent of 15k-20k, esp in a gated society and what is not shady. And then began the search for flatmates
These new people get back to me saying they are interested and have been looking for a place for months but are expecting a rent so low that they back off. 
How do you explain to these people that real estate prices HAVE shot up and are not coming back down? HOW?

There's some real frustration I have developed here, not only because of the high real estate prices, but also because of how people here keep waiting, passing up good places in the hope for cheap but good places when clearly that's not going to happen.

I am thinking of leaving my current job and focus on myself, getting to know myself better etc. Currently I have enough money saved for my expenses for next 6-8 months. 
   Everyone I have asked about this say don't leave your job if you don't have another lined up, in this tech winter. I understand their view point. It aligns with what my parents think as well.

Is there anyone who has had done this in the past? Do you recommend this route? Are the consequences far too severe? Does anyone have a different opinion from one stated above?

Anyone ever left job without having another job lying around for their mental peace?

It was a pretty tense situation at the office. 

Nearly all engineering managers were laid off, most of the SDE-2s who were not the core engineering team and a lot of SDE-1s who had just joined this year. Even the interns were let go today.

Pretty scary scenario today. Just putting out an update. Apparently it was done to please the investors for the next series of funding. Can't say for sure though.

Hello design folks of grapevine! 
A friend of mine has some visual design experience and is looking to transition to product design. She was considering joining the Ownpath product design fellowship (https://www.ownpath.com/product-design-fellowship) Any reviews of this program or have any of you been through this fellowship?

I just found out today I’ve been cheated on by my long term girlfriend who I lived with. Turns out she’s been cheating for a few months but she’s only just told me now because she’s fallen out of love for me and she’s fallen in love with him, so she’s leaving me for him.

She says I neglected giving her the attention she needed because I was so focused on work I forgot to do the nice things for her like bring her flowers, or take her out for dinner or to just show her how much I loved her.

Even though I’m so heart broken and haven’t stopped crying, I do forgive her because it’s true my work hours were bad and because we lived together I kept thinking in my head “it’s fine, ill make it up to her next time”. 

Plus, I was planning to quit my job once bonus comes at the end of this year to find a more chilled job so I could spend more time with her, I truly am ready to leave my job and that was my plan so I was just holding out until then. But now I won’t have the chance because she said its too late she has already lost interest in me and loves him.

But this guy is a software engineer at a FAANG company earning 60-70L a year whilst only having to work 9-5 so he’s richer and has more free time to give her attention. Actually she said he only works around 3 hours per day, he does around 1 hour in morning then 2 hours after lunch and for the rest of the day he’s free to spend time with her, and his company doesn’t notice or mind. So this guy earns almost 3x my compensation for only 3 hours a day meanwhile I’m working 12 hours a day 

She would sneak out whilst I was at work to go on dates with him or round his house and then she would come back to my home in my bed in time for when I arrived from work so I wouldn’t notice. 

Now I feel really broken, I’m in no mental state to be working I can’t think about anything else I have deadline for work today and I’m just sat here crying writing this post. I know men are meant to be strong and hold our emotions together but I really am sad.

I want to ask for 3 days sick leave at work but I don’t know if this normal and acceptable to do? Given most sick leave would be for grievances like the death of a loved one etc.

or am I being a cry baby and I should man up and continue to work?

Product Manager

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

The past week hasn't been good. Not sure why but I am doing blunders at my work. Confidence is at its lowest, imposter syndrome is kicking in as hard as never. 

Thought of switching from PMing also came in, but again not sure what is happening. 

For some reason, I am not feeling good about myself and I am not able to figure out why. 

Mind is totally fucked up, and it's hampering my work now. 

Need help, what should I do to feel calm.😞

God I hope I don't jinx it, but he is definitely winning the bronze ❤️

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Not sure how many anime fans are here, but I was recently watching this new anime called “Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead”, which basically shows how a corporate employee is so fed up with his messed up job, that the first thought he has, when zombie apocalypse hits is, “I don’t have to go to work anymore!”, and he’s out to do things that he always wanted to.

Anyways, in the new episode, its shown how a toxic leader/boss/senior behaves. And man, was that so accurate!! 

It shows how these leaders make you work like hell, belittle you, and misbehave with you. Even if you think of leaving the job, they make you believe how hard it is to survive without your current job, and how the work you’re doing is nothing, and that you can be easily replaced. 

And in the end, after fucking up your mental peace, they will come and show a little bit of sympathy, telling they how they just push you for your own sake. Acting like some wise old “mentor you never had”.

And you know, what the worst part is, since all your colleagues are living in the same environment, since everyday you go through the same toxicity over n over, it becomes normal for u. Your brain adjusts, and it seems to think that this is how the world is. 

Moreover, if you are a fresher, and you don’t have any prior experience of work culture, you seem to believe thats how work life is, and will always be. 

I’m ranting this out, since i wasted around 1-1.5 years of my life in such startup, and it wasn’t just the time that was wasted, it also took my passion, my energy, my motivation and my goal with it. 

To all the folks who might be in a similar situation, I just want to say, I know it’s hard and I know you probably can’t leave due to some financial situations or other issues. But BELIEVE ME when i say that nothing in this entire world comes above your mental health. Save that first folks. Be selfish, saving others can wait!

Traits of a toxic workplace

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hey all, I’m 29, Marketing and Growth Guy. Making 2.5L/Month (In Hand). And some side income of 50k-1L. 

I’m an expert in taking the startups in their journey of 0-1. 

However, every night it haunts me that in some years, I’ll be irrelevant because of younger generations taking up the positions or if not irrelevant, I’ll be costly for 0-1 startups.

In fact, even now, most of the high growth startups don’t hire me saying I don’t have experience of handling massive budgets. 

Can’t go into corporate after working for 8 years in startups. 

I’m investing and saving a lot. But that won’t be enough. Not looking to start my own business. Been there done that. Didn’t work out. 

So what are your plans? Or if you have any suggestions for me?

How does the future look like for 0-1 Guy.

I am working as SDE 1 in a good Indian startup. It's getting toxic day by day. Late night workings like 3AM and working on weekends is normalised like anything. Since I am new to IT ( no sort of politics never) and have almost 2.5 Years of experience, I am facing issues in getting credits. Last appraisal cycle in January, I was nominated for promotion but wasn't given to me, reason: you have not worked with architect and he was making decisions. In that case, architect should have been distributed tasks to us. 

one SDE3 is leading one of the projects ( not a big one ) and manager/architect is not much interested and never join any standup or retro, I have contributed immensely to that. Now since it is completely driven by sde 3 , he takes updates from us and show his work infront of seniors and director + announces like his work and seldom we get thank you in threads. Like if you did one function or wrote complete flow, for both thank you. Because of all these reasons, my work is not getting recognised. There is no one in team to help in this. 

Whenever a manager or Architect show cases some features or release, it's pretty evident that his team has done it but when a sde 3 does it, it is not the same. It conveys the message all or 90% work is done by him. 

I would like to take some suggestions from my seniors and fellow mates here. 

Hierarchy - sde 1-2-3-4-EM
I can't leave or switch right now due to some critical persona reasons.

Need help !! Toxicity at workplace

Here’s what I have been feeling nowadays, 
I suffer alone every night, smile during the day & tell friends only half and parents nothing so they don't worry about them.

I finally end up becoming a big ball of bottled up emotions.

I was trying to talk to my colleagues about this and no one seems to care. All they care about is their own life and that is fair. 

Is life all about suffering and pain?

Another heartbreaking incident! Didn't even know about this

Project manager

Okay so this was some time back, I was near the watercooler when I got an email from my colleague about a potential match. 

So, I hurried to the cafeteria to find her. She was just sitting there with a clock set at 10 minutes.

I got a little nervous because it had been a while since I had done this before, but still I mustered some courage to go through with it. Not gonna lie I was a little excited. 

By the end of those 10 minutes, it was her who was victorious. I was a little disappointed but anyway we shook hands and begin to wrap up, when I suddenly noticed something.

She was using a chess engine all this while to win at chess. I was so disappointed that I decided to not play chess anymore. She won but at what cost, my innocence was lost forever.

Oh man :(
