People who don't need one, getting the calls 👀- Grapevine

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I applied for a standard charted credit card via a phone call agent. (sir you are eligible for a card call wale). I wanted a platinum LTF card but she said after submitting the details I am eligible for another card with fixed yearly charges of 350. She told me she would pay me 350 after I received the card. She called back-to-back during office hours. So I blocked her. In the last two days, she has called me from 7 different numbers, at least 20-25 times. Finally, I picked up her call, and she told me that she would have to pay 3000 rupees fine If I won't process my card. She will G-pay me 350. 


Should I do the v-KYC?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hello everyone! I have 8 years of experience as a software QA and am currently looking for job opportunities outside my company. I’ve been applying to jobs regularly on platforms like Naukri and LinkedIn, but unfortunately, I haven’t received any responses yet. I believe this might be due to my 90-day notice period. 🤔

I’m considering resigning without having another offer in hand. What are your thoughts on this? Is it a good idea? 

Looking forward to your valuable insights!

Resignation without offer - good idea ?

In the hospital with my dad, during meetings, on a date with GF, and when I'm in the toilet. The one thing that all of this has in common are Ketto calls. 

They are abusive, sick, and downright infuriating. I bought YT Premium because of these assholes. Please for the love of God, please tell me how to block their calls. I have blocked 30+ numbers but they go down to the level of calling from personal numbers and trying to guilt trip me to donate. 

Charity and ed-tech level sales thundercunts.

How do I stop Ketto harassment

Hi all smart folks out there, I have been wondering for so long as to why did Indmoney's growth stagnate?  They were the first one to launch a comprehensive financial tool and had a freemium model for Advisory. 


What all have been the reasons? And if you used to be a user of the app, what made you stop using it?

Why INDmoney stagnated?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

As much as we blame tele callers or sales people from XYZ companies for constantly calling us , Upon close observation I’ve started to notice that it’s not 100% their fault. It’s often the fault of the people who get the calls. They fill up forms either on purpose and by accident and then they don’t answer said calls either to inform the person on the other end that they are no longer interested. Instead they act all high and pricey thinking they’re better than the ones calling them. Some people just do it as a way to blow steam as I’ve noticed. They just want someone to abuse and who better than a poor tele caller. 

People should wake up and understand that when you fill a form with your details or give your information somewhere to have the courtesy to either :

1) Inform them it was a mistake or they’re no longer interested.
2) Schedule an alternate date and time. 
3) If they’re genuinely interested to actually listen to them rather than ask them to send it via mail as even their KRA’s of the include these dials or talk times. 

Nobody wakes up excited thinking they get to call 1000 uninterested people who might abuse them. It’s their job so treat them with the same dignity they treat you. 

No I am not talking about cold calling but about calls that you get after you fill out your information and know you would be getting a call regarding the same.

We are the problem ‼️

Just want's to know, are you guy's getting any call from recrutiers/HR.

Hiring

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi Everyone,
I hope you all are making crazy money. I am actually a 3rd year engineering student. I've made over 28 products and released them, having over 650,000 users worldwide. But most of my products are free to use and thus I don't make any money at all even after having so many users, I made some paid apps too but didn't get significant users. I can confidently say that I am one of the best frontend developers available in the market, have a good portfolio, good linkedin profile, good achievements yet I don't get approached by companies or clients.
This is a complete breakdown moment for me as I don't understand how much I have to do to start making money. Don't judge me for mentioning money here as I come from a lower middle class family and I need to make money for my life.
I would love to get your opinion or suggestions or secrets whatever can help me in any ways.

Thanks!

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

PM with 2 years as PM and total 6 years experience, MBA. Let me know what I am doing wrong.

Not getting calls through linkedin applies

Currently I am trying to switch from service based company to better environment hopefully product based companies. Thing here is I am not getting any interview calls (I may blame 90days notice) but how product based companies hire… like i am checking naukari. It’s full of consulting companies mostly or service based companies. LinkedIn I could see some job posts but not actually hearing back  from them(maybe skill issue) . So like from where these product companies hire ??? Anyone know any leads.

Where to get referrals or interview calls

There are plenty of expense manager app in the market, but most people find it very much boring to add entries, check expenses on regular basis. Eventually it unable to solve the problem of keeping user in his/her budget.

I was just thinking of a possible solution let me know your feedback.

1. You will get a phone call on daily basis. It will ask you “bhaiya aj kitna kharcha hua” , you can reply “ aj 200 ka bus main, 500 ka zomato main lag gaye”

2. A physical statement will be delivered on your address on month end.

3. There will be an app also if anyone wants to track expenses in realtime or add manual entries, configuring call timing etc.

Expense manager.. but for lazy people

I was forced to resign hence Serving NP(10 days left),not yet received any offer in hand.

My details:
YOE: ~3
Skill: JavaScript, React/Angular,Node, Express, MongoDB, c#,java-spring, DSA , system design
Availability: 27th may LWD

Ik, I have posted before! But the situation is hard for me, not getting calls, scheduled interviews are also going sluggish and not fruitful. I am not collecting multiple offers, just looking for getting one offer RN, so don't fight with me in the comments section.

Kindly help me out with referral/opening/leads. Any of your actions will have a huge impact! TIA

God bless you - if you refer me; no offers yet

I have got an offer from Oracle, but in their service based domain, hike is fair but its all fixed comp and no ther benefits.
I am applying to so many jobs but getting rejected. Not a single call from a product based company.
I don’t want to work in service based as my experience in Infosys is pathetic.
Till now I applied for about 200+ jobs but the problem is-
Getting calls only from some unknown startups and their budget is low if they compare to my offer.
Not getting shortlisted in any product based even with referrals.

There is only one thing to be happy, that I have an offer and even if its service domain in Oracle, in experience I can show comapny name as Oracle and it won’t be mentioned whether its service based or product. But internally I know it won’t help in long run. It will only be showing in my linkedin that I work at Oracle.

Frustrated with applying jobs and getting rejected everywhere. 2 month of notice remaining, not sure what shoudl I change in my strategy or what should I do. Overthinking is also cherry on the cake.

Frustrated!!! 🤯

Just read somewhere the demand for devs increasing. Was just wondering how do u determine that the demand for devs and jobs is getting high?

Whats the.. stock market for jobs. How exactly do u know that yeah, this is the time the demand is high.

Is it you see lots of job posts on LinkedIn?

Or is there a secret community which everyone is in except me 😢

2024 high demand for devs

I can’t be be the only one, but I am surrounded by multiple people that just do not believe in async communication. They first send a “hi”, wait for me to acknowledge and then only proceed to tell me what they want. Even if it is something ridiculous like “What is the URL to access this portal?”. 

I generally am very quick with messages and from the last few months, this “hi” business is ticking me off. I decided to do some social experiment and delayed my responses to hi. 

If someone just sends me a “hi”, I schedule a “hi” to 3 hours from then. Result? People would rather sit on blockers than tell me what they want. 

I then tried a decreasing backoff. If you texted me a “hi” once, I’d respond in 3 hours. Repeat it a second time, I’d respond in 4 hours. 5 hours the third time, 6 hours the fourth and so on. 

Results? People would still rather I acknowledge their “hi” than tell me what they want.  

Some anecdotes of how “efficient” communication is:

1. A guy wanted access to a portal that I managed. He pinged me a “hi” every morning for 7 straight days before actually asking me what he wants. 
2. Another person wanted to understand git commands that can be used to solve merge conflicts. But not before pinging “hi” for 4 days, then just pulling me into a call with their manager and their manager pinging me a “hi” when I declined the call. 
3. Another person wanted an update on a ticket I closed 2 years ago. All he wanted was a change request number, which he could find using control + F on the Jira portal. He chose to send “hi”s to multiple team mates of mine when I didn’t respond. 

Ultimately, I started telling people to not just ping and disappear and that they can reach out to me. But I guess old habits die hard and I still receive multiple “hi”s. 

Merko unkin”hi” lag gayi. 

Also, before you scream at me for ranting about such a piddi problem. https://nohello.net/en/ is the thing.

Folks that ping “hi” and disappear

You guys are getting texts?

I saw a friend tweet about how Bangalore is full of connected but lonely people jumping in to join every Meetup/WhatsApp group that becomes available. This is my problem with the meetup / conference culture. Meetup culture is all about optionality. You think you'll meet someone new who's cool. Someone who can help you build your network. 

You would rather join a meetup with 100 other strangers than build stronger connections with your friends. In life there are only a few people who really matter. 

People who you can call at 11 PM to rant about your workday. People who you know will be genuinely happy about your promotion. People you share screenshots from work with. It is not probably the 100 strangers in that Whatsapp group that you think of when you are having a health issue and want to share your fears. It also means lowering your ego, which I'm happy to do with my old friends. I'm always happy to ping them when I get the chance, and I'm the one asking them to call me. 

I'm the one who asks them to hang out with me. I used to think, "Why bother?" but then I realised that it doesn't matter who reaches out first. It is not about keeping a count. 

I realised it's for me! If I have a chat with a friend of mine who I have known for over 10 years, my mood improves immediately. Everyone is very busy. Everyone is stressed with their jobs and their personal lives. Some of them are married now. Some have children. But that's where you've got to work to keep connecting with the people who matter to you. Friendship is also about being vulnerable. True friendship is built on vulnerability. 

Being able to share your dreams, your failures and your demons with each other. While the meetup culture is all about bumping into people for 5 minutes to judge their worth and whether they are worth your time, my preference is for long 1-1s. Either on the phone or face to face. I am happy to meet just one person over the weekend and have hours of conversation about work, life or wha
