Harsh reality

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Met a PM from IIT / IIM with 4 years of experience. He is working at a  well know soonicorn at a salary of 17  lakhs per year . He used to draw 30 lakhs per year in his last role before we was laid off . Interesting Times ahead

PM Salaries Have Crashed.

A minute of silence to all the grapevine polls where salary expectations are so high 😁

This causes a serious meltdown in an instant. Just sharing here so that if anyone reads this.. reach out to your folks and love them with all. 🙂

Sometimes late at night I'm hit with the thought that my parents won't be there with me forever.

What is one of basic things you realised too late?

People don't talk to you when you are alone, they only talk to you when they are alone.

Founder

Do all late 20s (28-29 years) men face the same issues mentioned below? 


1. Parents getting old- you don't want to see your loved ones getting old 
2. Single earning member 
3. Staying away from parents sucks as they need us more now.
4. Paying rent 30-40% of total in-hand salary in metro cities. 
5. Less friends, even if you have more friends you don't want to express what you are going through. 
6. No emergency fund- Agar koi emergency ayi to dosto ko paise mangne padenge.
7. Job switch - As the market is unstable, so you're afraid to switch and get laid off.
8. You want everyone around you to be happy, as your happiness depends on their happiness. 
9. Unable to express what you are going through to people around you (wife, parents, friends, relatives etc)
10. Happy Wife Happy Life - You try to do things out of the box (which is beyond your reach) because it makes her happy. 
11. What about our happiness?
12. Many more....

I'm going through this now. Sometimes I feel like I should talk to a person (who is anonymous to me and I'm anonymous to him/her) and express everything that is depressing me.

Late 20s Issues

This is reality in India too

You don't need to spoil kids with the best possible education, day care and shit they don't even need. 
  
 Today's parents are too much. Our generation didn't even have half the stuff that today's kids do, we still did alright.  
  
 Homeschooling is a great and realistic option that most people don't even consider. They just want to justify breaking their backs without even asking their own family if they need all that extra money and privileges.

I recently laid off, sometime ago. I was privileged enough so didn't really complained about it. But what i realised is:

"Everyone should get laid off once in a lifetime." Reason being you stop being emotional about your job. Some people have a habit to treat job as a the only purpose their life has. Basically job gives them the validation which they never received from anyone.  
Also you realize the hard truth that you are just a number. "Resource" as they aptly call you.

You realize your life has many dimensions than just serving someone. 

Quite an experience i would say, Kuch din to guzariyen lay offs mein!

Pls don't tell anyone.

How do I, as an incoming 7th semester BTech CSE engineering student, get into this sexy ass company? 

GS engineers/analysts/PMs/Managers PLEASE share your gyaan. 

Thanks.
