So much hustle inspiration in one photo

I graduated last year with no job offer from college. And started job hunting, I had 3 internship experiences, still not getting any job. But last December 2022 i got a call from the founder of the early stage startup( bootstrapped), gave a live coding round, and got selected within a day, even in this horrible job market with 7 lpa. Now the amazing part is that the technical co-founder was working as a consultant themself for a company and paying me and 2 other peeps from his own salary and still no expectations of overtime and good flexibility, unlimited paid leave,and then after working there for 9 months, finally the founders got funding but now they decided to move to wfo from wfh(with a considerate increment to employees), with which I was not comfortable because I have to relocate (and I have a medication going on from a very specialized doctor from my city), so decided to part ways. And from the past 3 months, i am job hunting, but not even getting an equal opportunity, those 7 lpa feels like 24 lpa coming from a founder who was working a day job to give me and other that opportunity. This post is an appreciation for all those founders who are working a job or hustling and running a startup in their spare time. Best wishes to you peeps, you may succeed in all pursuits of life. P.s- The founder gave me 6 days salary also which was equal to my first internship stipend.

Folks, I have been into Software engineering for a year now and the situation currently is depressing. Layoffs happening, hiring freezes and slow increments are talk of the town. I just want to ask is this even worth learning all of this? I know I am very new to this industry but I just want to listen to others'take on this.

After struggling for achieving my monthly Target we've finally at the finish line. Tomorrow according to my plan we'll be achieving the monthly target! It's gonna be fun day Tomorrow #NeverStop

I'm surprised to see on the comment section that people actually support this load of crap. To any newbies or freshers entering tech this year, don't follow this advice. These CEOs exploit your time to gain revenue and when the time is not good they wouldn't think twice before considering layoffs. Just do your job and go home to your life and family. This advice only applies to entrepreneurs who have huge stakes in the company. Because if the company do well they get millions in returns as dividends. As an employee, even if you work for 25 hours you only get the same salary. Don't follow any so called self procalimed entrepreneurs advocating for the hustle culture. You hustle for your life, not for your boss or your job.

Recently, the founder of Apna appeared on Rajshamani's podcast, boasting about his entrepreneurial journey and the success of his startup. However, his portrayal of Apna as a revolutionary product is misleading. https://themorningcontext.com/internet/all-is-not-well-at-apna Here's a brutal takedown of him https://x.com/ravihanda/status/1730453950485401872 Despite his claims, the company is currently laying off employees, experiencing stagnant revenue growth, and facing significant financial losses. The founder, who has spent most of his life in the US, now presents himself as a champion for Bharat (India), but the reality is starkly different from the image he tries to project. His attempts to appear as if he has everything figured out contrast sharply with the company's troubling financial situation and operational challenges. The podcast feels fully paid but is not revealed which is illegal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cq-Ajgs2oec&t=1s&ab_channel=RajShamani
