I joined Recko and quit in 30 days. Just 4mo before it got acquired by Stripe 🥲

Haha oh no that must’ve been painful. But why did you quit so soon? Out of curiosity.

Product Manager

It wasn't going so well with my manager and I was still interviewing.
Might've stayed but the new offer was a good 20% more.

Software Developer

Yes - very clear that figuring out multiple things early on in career is leading to better outcomes in my peer set. 
As long as you don't get addicted to quitting :D

Corporate Strategist

I’ve done that… does it impact the resume? As in, does it leave a bad impression when interviewing at companies, or say in the MBA application process?

Analyst

Experiment and find a good company. You can grow so much better in one that you truly fit into.

The market is looking too risky to take risk right now. Would become easier again to take risks once tech gets out of this environment

I'm new to the job market so I wanted to understand how frequently should I switch companies when I get a better offer.

I've heard that sometimes your employer themselves will match a competing offer.

But how frequently should I do this? Every 2 years? 3?

Doing this too frequently can make me an objectively worse candidate so if anyone can tell me what's the ideal duration, that would be great.

Thanks in advance!

How frequent should we be switching jobs?

As many a times we encounter situation where HR interrogate about multiple career advice. HOWEVER IT IS MANDATORY TO SWITCH JOB FOR FINANCIAL GROWTH.

Frequency of Switching Job ?

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?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hi all, 
I have around 1.5 years of experience as an SDE 1. I am looking for a job switch primarily because I want to relocate to Gurgaon (personal reasons, essentially I want to settle there.)
Now I came across some openings and because of some recent policies here I am thinking of switching. 
My concern is, would switching at this early  negatively affect me?

How to climb the success ladder fastest? Advice for 20 yr olds

I just need a little break. Want to introspect on what I want in life. Have not travelled a lot, want to do that. 

I have a good enough run way to sustain for 4-5 months. 

Do you think it's a good idea? 
Has anyone taken a break for a quarter or more?

Is it a good idea to resign without an offer?

So I’ve been with my firm for almost 8 years now and honestly it’s become more of a second home for me. I honestly want more exposure and experience different office culture but it’s difficult to leave a job that I got through when I was in college. Am I the only one feeling this way? Any suggestions/recommendations appreciated!

How to Quit your first job?

Operation manager

I’ve been working in an early-age startup as a frontend developer and am about to complete 2 years in 1 month. This is my first job. I want to quit immediately and then look for a job by doing some good preparation but I am so confused about what to do. I am actively applying. I am leaving this company coz there’s no increment this year also I have to switch projects frequently. I’ve worked on an MVP alone but the work is not organized like mid-level startups, big startups or MNCs.

My question is simple. Should I leave and then start looking for jobs actively or I should stay here until the job market recovers?

PS - Let me know if someone is hiring for frontend roles.It’ll be a great help

Should I quit my job?

I wanted to know from fellow grapeviners, how are you guys looking to switch jobs or have done so already in recent few weeks/months. What is your go to strategy that you follow to get your next job offer, also how do you verify if the role would be a good fit for you?

Since the market is inclined towards folks with 5years or more experience for jobs in West/remote. Even in Bangalore many are looking mostly for 3+yrs experience.

If you are early in career(<3 years exp) then do tell. Experienced folks can also suggest.

How are you switching jobs?

Under what circumstances should you quit your job without another offer in hand?

Frontend Engineer

I want to quit my job and take a break. 

I Have been contemplating to do the same for almost an year but decided not to do it. So many things have happened since then

1. Layoff wave started in india
2. Got married
3. Had to move back to bangalore from hometown

Reason I want to quit is I don't feel like working , feeling bored and work doesn't interest me that much. 

I want to take a break chill for a bit but don't have guts to do the same considering market conditions ( what if I don't get a job when I am back in the market😅) 

Please give any advice on how to tackle this situation or if someone has gone through the same, would love to hear your experience. 

Also how is the product hiring currently in India? 

PS:  I do have a good runway for 4-5 months considering all expenses but I am scared to take the step

How is the market currently for product managers?

I've been working in Accenture over 1.8 , I'm facing lots of toxicity, politics in my daily work now these days. I've been through a mental trauma as I was under the process of PIP ( Performance Improvement Program) , the clear reason behind it is boot licking, me & one of my colleagues both were into this process, I performed well enough & got 3.5/4 in tasks so they retain me , but she got 0/4 ...for that reason they terminate her. But after PIP in the office they're completely cornering me , they're not treating me as before.... I don't know what to do ,  I'm thinking to switch, but some says it's too early. I'm still under so much confusion.

If anyone help me in any way , it'll be thankful :)

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I have been on this journey for a long time now. Lots of failure comes with loads of learning. Each step or initiative I took has helped me grow as a person, the business guy (ed-tech, media space), and also in terms of technicalities (full-stack product management, hardcore hands-on into technology and I love user experience)

Ps: currently running an edtech startup in pre-seed/seed stage

Feel free to ask anything, would be happy to help even personally

If you could give one piece of advice to someone just starting their career, what would it be?

Hello good folks of grapevine, I am very confused with my situation right now. I am currently working at a consumer tech unicorn in a strategy role but really burnt out with the working environment. I have no clarity on my roles and responsibilities which keeps changing every week. I am not learning much either. I am planning to quit without any offer in hand (notice period is 2 months, I have enough to survive 5-6 months). I am an IIT-IIM graduate (old ones). Total YOE ~ 4.5 years across strategy consulting, project management and strategy at current startup. Please suggest. Folks who have quit without any offer in hand, how did it work out for you?

I am very confused and lost. Planning to quit my job without an offer in hand. Need suggestions.

Strategy & operations

I come from a good college (tier 2) with very good placements but because of mental health reasons ( I was severely struggling) i had to skip placements. After being unemployed for 4 months after graduation my family forced me into taking a job I never wanted. Very low pay, extremely toxic work culture and insane work hours. I don't even have energy or time left to prepare for interviews or even apply to other jobs. This job is slowly pushing me back into depression. And it even hurts to see that all my friends are earning 17+LPA base + stocks and other benefits, while I can't even get a 15CTC job. I feel my career is over and see no hopes for my future. Should I quit so I can atleast prepare for a better job? Any advice is appreciated.
