1. Fancy talks from founders such as ownership, independence, building for next generation, speed etc
2. Learn new tech
3. Glofiying working at odd hours
4. Don't talk about stress and anxiety 

Start ups are not for weak heart and normal humans who have life after work. It's only for people who will give up their life to build somone else dream. Prove me wrong.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I remember making 7000/month and spending all of it on travelling by Uber everyday because my dad didn't let me use the car and the Summer heat was making me melt. I needed an AC so I instantly blew almost 4000 rupees/month on just Ubers. With the rest I went to a nice restaurant with my mom+dad for lunch and it is my most memorable moment in life. I felt like I had grown up.

The internship was also nice and I learnt a lot of things about building systems for a startup. It was one of the best 8 weeks I had spent learning something new and cool. 

I bet I used to look like Shinchan in this picture when I was in the office and seeing 40 year olds talking to 20 year olds like they were their buddies.

I was about to call them uncle hahaha.

What was your story from your First Job/ Internship?

Thread: Share a Story from your First Job/ Internship...

Hi all, 
I am a recent BCA graduate , from tier 3 college. I was hoping that i would get a chance to work on amazing techstack when i joined Deloitte but unfortunately they onboarded me pretty late and i had already rejected offers for few organisations for the role of SDE, junior AI/ML associate and so on in the respective field. I did this because i was hoping that Big4 is a better place to learn and grow. When i joined in Feb 23 i was given training on Software Testing where i don’t have interest and i tried reaching higher ups but they told i might get a chance to work on tech i am interested in when i get projects. So i pursued this and got project on Testing as well, there also people said if you want to work on other areas there is no guarantee but you can help the developers as well and learn. Maybe you will get the chance to shift from QA but no guarantee. 
I am so frustrated with my current position, wherever i am applying they are not hiring me for the reason of having irrelevant experience and i can’t do internships as my family condition is not good and i have to constantly support them. I am stuck between quitting and taking a break due to financial problems but if i continue this how will i build relevant experience and switch to a different organisation. 

I request everyone to kindly help me getting a clarity, what should i do ? 
Can anyone help me get a different job role somewhere else? 
I am open to work in the field of Data and AI , Analytics as well.

Thinking of quitting the firm, need Help!

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I was hiring for a web designer in last role.
We had an internal referral, and I checked her portfolio before reaching out.
She had multiple projects, worked with many customers across countries, the designs were fresh and inviting, no clutter.

She was the one (for the role)!
Exactly what we were looking for. 

I had a budget of 25-30LPA, had quoted 19-24 LPA (because well)
Her expectations were 30-33 LPA

Cut to, she was the only one till final round and they were processing her offer letter at 31LPA

I am even working today. Like what the fuck?

How is anyone okay with it? My seniors are chilling at home while me and my colleagues are busting our ass working 10+ hours everyday for peanuts. We have been straight up told that it will impact our record and appraisal if we don't put in the hours. I mean it is my first job and I don't want to mess it up.

Is this the same everywhere else in Big4?

Does it ever get easy in Big Four? Because I feel that my entire life is becoming just work...

Hi all, I have noticed that the experienced senior people around me [ ICs, EMs, etc ] have too much work and they are always in a work mode. 

Seeing them makes me wonder whether I would want to be like them in the future.

All the senior experienced people here, how stressful / hectic / difficult is your work life as you move up the corporate ladder? 

Is it even worth it to chase meaningless numbers, and promotions, and grow up the career ladder?

Work life at senior positions

I was laid off last year, the CTC was reasonably high there (110k USD base, not practical in India ik... Maybe that's why they had to cut us off). That of course was quite a down time but I was happy that I had a lot of side projects in hand, and was up to date with the tech stack. It's something I learned, "A company is a company, nothing less or more than that.

Curious to know, what are your lessons from these times? That one thing you wish you told/reminded yourself before these lay offs?

To me, it would be:

1. Stay humble. Your salary or your company shouldn't define your attitude.
2. Keep learning. Find time for your personal growth.
3. Stay active in the community, be aware of what's happening. Be it good or bad, it can come to you as well.
4. Save while you can! Savings have helped me a lot.

P.S: I mentioned my base pay from prev salary not to boast about it, there is nothing to boast about tbh
... It's just to mention more context.

Lessons from the layoffs?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Switch the job to get a better salary
Wait for a better increment or switch again, reason? Money, Money, Money (most of the time).... 
Society pressure is so high that no matter how much you earn, it will not be enough at some point.. You always try to fit into the surroundings..

Why the hell Money is so important, can't we go back to Jungle Life 😁?? Eat fruits, fresh meat , breathe fresh air, wear less clothes, don't shave...

Life Sucks.....

Hi all

I have 2 years of experience in full stack mobile application development and I planned to take 6 month break to improve my mental health and tech skills.

how it will impact my career 

can I get job after that gap

career gap impact

My back is completely messed up because of the long hours I have to work here. 

I have started consulting a massage therapist for the intense upper back pain I have from slouching so much at work. This is proving to be extremely challenging on my physical health because I am unable to pursue fitness goals around gymming and running.

How do you guys manage it?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

like what do you want to achieve, what is your goal?

Why do you want to earn so much money(be rich)?

I just want to be debt-free, and feel like I can take a holiday once in a while, without worrying too much about how it could cripple me financially. 
  
 No tall ambitions, just want to have a happy life where money is not something I worry about on an ongoing basis.

Senior Product Manager

I've been in the job market for about 4 months now.
It's disheartening to go through the process and companies not valuing your time or the word they gave.
I've been in offer stages for 3 companies now and it's just frustrating for one reason or other things just don't end up working out. Either it's low balling the offers or just plain "internal misalignment". 

I've 7 years of 0-1 sales experience and it's getting tough to see the light at the end of the tunnel. 

Not sure why I'm ranting here, maybe there are folks in the similar boat and would love to hear how your experience has been looking for a job in this climate

Job Market is scary/frustrating

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Hi Grapeviners,

**Question for those at higher level (SM+)**

How do you perceive your job?
Isn't that too demanding, boring and depressing (corporate politics) at the same time considering you're stuck doing it for years/decades on end(that too will intensify more you climb up)?

Essentially, I want to know what motivates you apart from you big checks?
Is it about the power that you enjoy over people? (i mean, does it really make you feel powerful?)
Or is it you can't go reverse because of the status and other factors that are attached with you?

Cuz my underlying assumption is that if you're doing a job and earning quite well then it's unlikely that you would get significant time to enjoy that money with your family/ friends or even alone. (pls correct me if I am wrong)

Like yesterday I was talking to a client AVP  who's been toiling day n night over the weekends from last 2 month just like an unpaid intern.

If that's the path to carrer growth, then man, I am already done!😂

--------
Your answers/ perspective would help me understand the point of chasing carrer growth from your lens and decide for myself!!

Thanks 🙏

Is it even worth climbing up?

Product Owner

Recently, every friend or colleague of mine have been on rant mode and very dissatisfied with jobs despite being paid bomb money and crazy esops.

Is everyone in every organisation in all functions so unhappy or is this just GenZ problem of setting wrong expectations from the Job?

Does anyone exists who actually loves their job?

even though I may hate my low paying, high stress, no value job, atleast it keeps my brain occupied for 8-9 hours a day.
If not for it, I would have gone mad (and broke)

Just realised

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?

I'm in the same boat, on the verge of quitting, and will most probably take the leap next month.  
 Thanks for the thread. A lot of insights. It has made me confident that I'm not doing anything stupid.

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.

What is it that you like and dislike about them in general?

What are some of your interesting takes on your GenZ co-workers?

They talk about restuarants alot. I think 60% of their conversation is around which restaurant or pub is "cute" or "vibes".  
 But that might be a Bangalore thing. 
 Also they watch alot of Indian OTT and nothing else. 
 Saare chutiya indian shows dekh liye but Oppenheimer nhe dekhi abhi tak, which is shameful.

Analyst

Adulthood!

I'm unable to understand what sort of entitlement does the leadership hold to ask their employees to work their ass off without any compensation for their efforts.

Like literally bro just said that it's a 7 day work week for the next quarter and fuck your personal life and doesn't even bother to highlight that there would be any gratification for the same.

The mid-senior leadership just acts as pawns and complies with this and in case you highlight this shit show you're fired.

Fuckall Leadership

Make a fake profile on LinkedIn, post this mail there, tag a bunch of people and make this asshole famous. 
  
 Fuck this shit, seriously!
