People that teach without being condescending >>>- Grapevine

Hi Grapevine, 

I'm Arnav, Director of Engg at Jio Cinema. I previously exited my startup to Scaler. Some of you may know me from ScalerPod. I've also led engineering teams at Zomato & Target. 

Here to chat with you about my journey in startups, leading engineering teams, and products at scale, among other things.

Ask me your question. I'll be back at 8 pm and begin answering!

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Disclaimer this is not a rant or this has nothing to put in bad way someones hard work.

With so many ppl making tutorials and selling courses online, I had my few observations. I welcome ppl to join on this discussion with their point of views as well.

The most important things is you need a solid company name on your resume, doesn’t matter what work you might have done there. Everyone knows the meatiest work in google is done at west coast office(just an example).

This gives you the starting point, I would not disagree to the fact that these guys put on the hard work to crack the interviews, but that doesn’t mean you start selling a dream to everyone. It will be like what harshad mehta did to his clients during the days.

If a person is working in some unknown company and even though the person teaches really well, I bet there will be hardly any takers for his/her course. 

Teaching is an art as per me, not everyone can be a great teacher. There are some good ones out there but majority of them don’t fall under above category. I would say they are social media influencers with a bit of tech knowledge. 

We have already lost a generation with rot learning and now with the rise of these ppl, the day is not far way when a person aceing the interview knows jack shit when given an actual problem to solve at workplace.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Today on Saturday I got a call from office grandma ( 20 years in same company) , she started arguing that I didn't sent her the update and showed me her what's app screenshot. I noticed that there is no net sign on top near battery indicator. 
What the hell, why companies keep such people , they have 0% technology knowledge, can't use decent tools , don't know gmail interface . Why the hell ?

Are boomers really needed if they don't have skills ?

Content Strategist

somebody who likes to teach people things, especially because they think they know more than other people.
I ll do my best.

My nephew tells me about all these FAANG bhaiyya and didi thing and it makes me really wonder whether it is a good thing for the tech culture in India. 

Like providing content is fine but with every second kid launching a DSA boot camp or Product Topmate link is probably shilling to gullible students.

Any idea?

What’s up with FAANG bhaiyya didi culture?

Product Manager

What do these people really value as benefits?

It can range from anything such as discounts on Uber to a free IPL Cricket match.

What are some things that would make them go "Bro I want this" or  make them "tweet" or talk about it to their friends/ work colleagues?

Finding benefits that GenZ, metro cities, startup/ tech/ finance company folks people value.

Marketing Creative

I see a lot of folks opening their calendar and offering resume review and career guidance and other things via Topmate.
Some are charging like 6000 per hour. 
And posting that as if they are making some contribution to the community.
They are keeping posts as that is their way of giving back to the community as if it's some sort of charity. 

How the hell is giving back to the community when you are charging 6000 per hour ?? 

I dont have a problem with people who keep it openly as its a way to earn some money. You are giving your time so asking money for it is not at all wrong in my book 

But please dont label it as charity for god sake 🙏🙏

I’ve muted/ blocked most of the Linkedin/ Twitter influencers. But sometimes in my feed I do get some people putting shorts of Tanay’s content.

I’ve gone through his youtube content, it’s full of cringe to me. I know he has done something good with neog camp, but again nowadays I don’t understand their point.

Learning to code takes some efforts from individual not spoon feeding or making students feel that they can learn anything. These influencers mostly over hype easy concepts and skip the hard sections.

It takes efforts to learn something new, no one can make you learn unless you try to learn on your own.

Is it only me or you also think Tanay Pratap’s content is full of cringe

India’s Best Startups In Terms Of Tech And Future Product Growth

Was interviewing a lady for augmenting specific skills I need at a project I am currently running.

I asked her for details on where she was working at, and her answer verbatim:

"Waise to ye coaching class hai but owner isko Ed Tech bulaate hai."

So I just exited my first venture, raised some money from pedigree foreign players, almost died 3 times and finally exited decently. Discounting 2 years of covid it was a good 4 year journey. I am thinking to create like a 0 to 1 course having everything from idea validation, basics of branding, how to file TDS and GST yourself, getting first clients and scaling to 1. 

What does the junta think of it? And what would be a good price one would be willing to pay?

0 to 1 course for aspiring entrepreneurs

Why Indian Engineers after getting job share only how did they get job.. how to prepare for that.. and opening the youbtube channel now becomes compulsory? Is it real engineering? I am student but I don't think it is good for real engineers

Hey guys,
So I'm a senior BTech CSE engineering student from a Tier 2 college in Karnataka and I will be interning at a Top MNC in Bangalore over the summer for 2 months. 

Any advice for me? As I will be entering the infamous corporate world as a new chapter in my life, I wanna know how the dynamics in corporate works and what I should prepare for. 

Thank you lads.

Any advice for a student who will be joining his first company?

Unpopular Opinion: People with Generational wealth shouldn't teach others about struggle

For me age is genuinely just a number. And work is worship. Yet, having people who are often my age or sometimes 10-20 years older than me reporting to me - becomes a discussion. Why is “age” even a discussion if one has proved their merit and mettle?

In a country with a growing young population, we have some randomly contrasting values. 

Of course, basic respect for all is just a fundamental in the team’s culture. 

Do you think an employee should “respect” another employee just by the virtue of age?

Ageism at workplace?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I am sharing a screen shot of a separate conversation on this platform started by a student. I found it be coming from a young fellow who was inspired by these words of wlb and best pay etc. But then there may be a mature (10+yr ex) chap who reverted to him to focus on learning. I was amazed by the confidence of the author of the post in reverting to that fellow while taking a shot at his pseudo name also ( which was quite funny actually).
