Sitting unemployed at home, whats your suggestion that I can do?- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Done with my end-sem, and started building projects and learning new concepts for like 15hr+/day, but now it's getting boring for me(I like working on projects) no physical interactions with friends just sitting in a room and coding😩. bruh sometimes I like watching series, movies, and animes but now that's also getting me bored.

Any suggestion what you all do in such time? I wanted to be productive, spend time where boredom can be escaped but also get some productive output.🫂

Hi everyone, need your suggestions on something.

I was recently talking to my mom, who's currently a housewife. She's been a working woman till her late 20s and then left her job because of my birth.

Later, when I reached my teens, she tried resuming her career but couldn't succeed becaus companies won't take someone with such a huge career break. She also tried starting something of her own but didn't work out because of the nature of the business. So she's been at home for a very long time.

Now, I am a working man myself and usually not at home because of tight work schedules. My mother gets a lot of time at home and has  been wanting to do something but is unable to get a direction. What are some of the things she can do to keep herself busy/ restart her career?

Some things that I could think of were:
1) can do some short term educational courses online
2) join some NGO, or some communities (pls note, she is not the type to go to kitty parties😅)
3) open a small at-home business (will appreciate ideas for this)

Also, is anyone aware of any part-time job portals for women with career breaks?

Please drop your suggestions below.

It's more than 1 month now without a job and I waste a lot of time watching YT and stuff. I don't have any other thing to do (than preparing for interviews). How do you guys spend your time?

Age - 22
Previous TC (in hand) - 16 LPA

How do you (jobless) guys spend your time?

I was recently impacted by layoff and having 20yrs of exp into application support and service management with last 10yrs grown into a middle management role(limited tech hands-on and no dev experience nor CS background)

While I am financially ok atm and can manage staying at home for next 12-24 months, I am not financially independent yet. its getting too boring and I want to get back into some sort of work routine as I am keen on retirement yet.

Challenges I am seeing with finding a new opportunity:

- The job market seems to be quite restricted for senior roles with that experience
- Few that came across were at a substantial low salary.  
- Some others required significant hands-on experience 

Thought process::

- While salary is not a major concern, I am not sure if I makes sense to take a pay cut.
- Given the speed of tech changes, not sure what kind of learning/certification would be helpful
- Even if I do tech self-learning, lack of practical hands-on seems to be a drawback
- At 40+ while I am open to work hard and learn, i view is to find a job and learn into it , rather than other wat round

Any guidance/pointers would be appreciated. As would any leads/introductions on suitable opportunities you know of.

What next at 40+

I'm on bench for last 1.5 months and there is still no hope for any project allocation. Now I'm bored as well as scared for being idle. Someone please suggest something. I'm already learning new things in my spare time but is there any way of getting a project by connecting someone.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Rejected BPO offer from TCS and TechM back in 2017. Sitting for six years at home. Prepared for CAT, XAT , IIFT, SNAP, TISS, XGMT, SRCC, NMAT, CMAT. Didn't secure a good percentile. Stopped preparing for MBA entrances and started preparing for govt exams.  Still not able to clear any.  B.com grad with accounting hon. No int in CA/CS. Zero experience at anything.  Currently depressed to a point that I have no energy doing anything. Need help.

No idea about career.

I am with an organisation where I have to work for 4-6 hours only. Sitting idle is somehow like a punishment for me. I want to do something in my free time which can give me some extra income. Is there any option for that? Suggestions are welcome.

PS: legally cannot apply for a job somewhere else, make videos etc.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Curious to know what to do folks here do in their working hours when they are having a chill workload week/day in a WFH setup.

I just hopelessly wait for some ping or adhoc task to come up and end up wasting the whole time scrolling the phone.

What to do when bored during working hours

DevOps Engineer

I am an engineer and have been working remotely since the pandemic started. Initially, it was great as I could save time by not commuting to office but now I feel like I am missing out on something.

I don't know what it is but I just feel like I need to be in an office environment to thrive. Maybe it's the social aspect or the structure of having set hours, but whatever it is, I can't seem to find the same level of motivation when working from home.

Anyone else feeling this way? Any tips on how to make remote work more productive and enjoyable?

100% remote work is not working for me

I personally feel that it is much better if we work from home because I don’t fucking care about work at all.

I am a middle class guy working as a senior engineer in one of the product companies. I belong from the north-east, and I am the only child in my family. 

Since covid, I was working in a wfh setup. Recently, my company has ended work from home for everyone, and I am supposed to move to Bangalore very soon or quit. 

I am an active user on all social media groups on Reddit, Fb, etc. For the past couple of months after seeing so much of negative news about Bangalore, Especially the high population, skyrocketing rents, the auto unions, corruption, cut-throat competition, discriminative news, traffic issues, etc. It makes me nervous to be honest. My wfh here was pretty chill, and I had a very limited social circle here, but was satisfied since I could spend most time with my mom and dad. 

Im very afraid now about what should I do next, shall I quit the job and search for wfh, or shall I make my move. I don’t have any acquaintances there, no friends, no idea about what I’ll be doing next, how to start house hunting, or job hunting. At this point I am miserable and overwhelmed to think about all of this. 

Anyone who has gone through all of these, If you can share your 2cents, experiences or thoughts, about how you dealt this phase. It will be really helpful for me at this point in my journey. Thanks in advance! 🙏🏻

Afraid about moving to Blr

Get a wfh job ... period.

Product Manager

21M working from home as a SDE. I do live with my parents in a tier 3 city. Most of my time is just spent working on my desk. This is just depressing as I don't have many friends to hangout and even those I have are busy in their own life. I make good and can easily afford to go and live in a tier 1 city but will that be a good option leaving my parents and knowing most of my time would be spent indoors. What would you do if you were in my shoes.

How can I get out of my loneliness?

Fed up with wfh situation. Feeling depressed whole day, any suggestion on resolving this?

I would like to discuss the coping strategies people use when suffering from prolonged unemployment.

Please share your stories as a guide for others 

I left my job in December in a pre seed startup and unable to find a new one. Got few interviews but end up being ghosted. 

I have 3 years of experience as a product manager in fintech Startups but currently no leads in pipeline 

I am distressed due to prolonged unemployment I am facing with uncertainty about the future. 

How would you recommend someone to cope with this situation
