Selling continues with all those cringe narratives. GS ED are better financial planners :-/- Grapevine

This post shudnt be under LinkedIn cringe but I felt no other category fits. Just to spread the awareness about another EdTech scam.

Kids save your money from GS suckers!

People on LinkedIn posting their off campus experiences, then selling a course in the end, while WILLINGLY not mentioning the date of interview. Some of them even mention on campus experiences without full disclosure. Feels like a major slap in the face for people like us who are struggling in recession.

Entirely possible that many of them lie about these experiences too. I respect them for navigating off campus positions and applying and getting jobs, but things were way, way easier back then. To go through bloodbath right now and see those posts, just feels like major tone-deafness on their part.

Or maybe I'm salty af (I am).

Pre-recession SDEs giving gyaan boils my blood

Continuing the series for wider reach! Please share out this for maximum reach. More & more victims are speaking now and their voices should reach to authorities. These scammers should go to the jail.

Wonderful, wonderful people of Grapevine. 
Hope you're having a great day. 
I'm writing this post to share a secret with you. 
Pls don't tell anyone. 

I have wet dreams of Goldman Sachs. 

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.

Beautiful people, how do I get into Goldman Sachs

The bank tried selling me the plan.
1L investment for first 12 years
₹40k return every year for 40 years. 

Also some death benefit starting from 10L upto 24L depending on maturity.
I don’t understand the math behind it, but if we include inflation, this is not all that useful, right?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

IMO educational, insurance, investment products can drastically change one’s life for better or for worse, so much mis-selling, scamming and shitty sales tactics being done 😐

Someone ain’t scaling the right way 💁🏼‍♂️

Sales

Hello everyone reading this, quick intro, I am a 2023 graduate from deshbandhu college holding a Bachelor's degree in Science with a major in Mathematics.

Started my CAT Prep in august 2023, Left my previous job in november end due to tedious work which was not catering to my long-term goals and now, unfortunately, victim of the current job market.....since the opportunities are not very fulfilling from some time, I moved ahead with continuing my rigorous CAT Prep from january & its going really great....but due to increasing financial problems, i'm now compelled to take up a sales role in a bank's branch....I am not much interested in sales work & it was one of the reasons why I left my previous job.....but, now i'm not much concerned about it.... because i'm being advised to go with the flow for some time & take up any job on the side to manage the household.

The thing which concerns me the most is "will working in a sales role or a branch office affect my application in tier-1 b-schools?" Since i'm preparing for tier-1 b-schools only....i see no benefit in doing an mba from tier-2/3 school...neither monetarily nor network-wise. I'm really scared & concerned about taking up this job & my application in b-schools.....kindly help me out....i'm stressed out and this is causing me sleep deprivation.....

Thank you everyone for reading this!

Suggestions are highly appreciated.

My thesis has been that finance has been made complex deliberately and it isn't rocket science.

Would love to hear some madeup complexities.

What's the most unnecessarily complex finance Gyan you ever got? By whom?

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.

What is the package of Unit Manager + what is the job like + stress level + kind of work + will it be good to switch from a reputed MNC to this position with current package of 6+ LPA?

ICICI people, please fill the gap between my doubts and the real fact backed with the truth.

How is Unit Manager job at ICICI ?

Edtech layoffs still continuing?

Teams were asked to strictly work from home for today because of plumbing work going on in the office. Roughly 300 people were laid off in a townhall hosted by the founders.

Scaler lays off 20-25% of their workforce

How will they tell people that their courses will help get a job in a product company now?

Software Developer

Fresher, work at an edTech startup (seed). Had 3L as ESOPS, standard vesting. Resigning after one year, have two options:

a) Surrender the ESOPS and add 75k to my F&F
b) Retain ESOPS and wait for liquidity events

Startup is in EdTech and creator domain, raised seed fund(again) recently.

Very confused. What to do? Which things to consider?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I have always felt that people in Business actually earn much lesser than most people in tech. 
I consider Business roles to be:

1. Consulting
2. Marketing
3. Sales
4. Finance
5. HR
6. Operations

Going first, 
16L // 1 YOE // Equity Research Analyst

Ask those influncers whats will you do with your life after FIRE. Assuming target completed at 35yrs of age then what? And even after that what will you do with the money. Keep in bank or stocks to be passed on to "no one" after you or just maybe taken up by banks and govt and home taken up by land encrochers. Life is not at end after FIRE. FI is good so you can protect your family but when you "killed" your family tree itself to achieve FIRE what did you acheive ,for whom, for what? Good for show offs maybe but internet fame is limited till there only no one is there for you on ground. Empty  4 walled rooms being cat/dog "moms" all have been already experimented in west and now being tried to replicate here. 
They want us to stay poor by selling us the lifestyle they are living though the money they got by selling the courses. The logic they applied maybe worked at that time but does it guarantee the same logic will work in next 10 yrs and if thats true why not they themself buy all those assets with all that money  will get 100 bagger in next 10 yrs themselves.
I can continue the same with their rent vs buying home logic but maybe keep it up for another day.

Selling continues with all those cringe narratives. GS ED are better financial planners :-/
