Stop Seeking Validation- Grapevine

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I recently posted a CTC check and a lot of people commented that I was overpaid. Why are boomers so jealous and annoyed of Zoomers earning more? 🤡

Boomers shitting on Zoomers

Its not a boomers vs zoomers thing. Its a common sense thing. 
 You are way overpaid, just accept the fact and move on.

Is it normal or okay to seek for validation from other women after being married to the love of your life?
*Married for few months now 
*Love marriage
*Good looking wife

Recently being seen a bunch of people here taking a dig on people with high salaries. This is so counter productive. Rather than trying to learn from people who’ve been able to get a head start and getting it for yourself why are you resorting to hating on them? 

This is what is the difference between India and the west. The west is so fu##in capitalistic that people just understand and respect those that have money and everyone else is working hard to make it too. 

Don’t hate the race. Don’t hate the winners. We can all win. Help each other. 

My salary is also high so whatever…

Stop hating people who succeed

Well , you couldn't resist. Could you? 
 Congratulations for the highest package on earth. 
  
 It's stupid race. Let me give you a broader perspective on why a decently paid individual can make it up with consistency within 10 years. 
  
 The inflated package you got will also result in 
   
 Increased risk of layoff 
 Increased rent based on location 
 Increased additional expenses 
 Increased health problems because of stress 
 Decreased family time 
 Confusion in priorities 
  
  
 Since you got money early in life, congrats but what on earth will you buy once you have it all? 
 By 50 you'll be left with minimum wishes you can wish for. 
  
 These are just a few of the common things...  
  
 No hate but everyone should work on their pace once they get a decent salary.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi everyone,

I am an employee at a Big Tech Firm, and doing quite well at my job. I have few friends of mine, who are active on LinkedIn and Twitter, and use the company's name extensively and make posts and gain followers. I sometimes feel jealous of these colleagues and feel worthless due to them. Even though I am doing well than them in the job, sometimes I just can't stop feeling jealous. Any suggestions on what I can do?

Feeling worthless

Software Engineer

It’s clear to me that this isn’t good for me. My interaction with the outside world and being in the present is inversely proportional to how much I use IG/smartphone.

IG is obv the strongest drug, but in general want to be more conscious about what I do on my phone, when Inuse it.

Looking for genuine advice. Please help 🙏🏻

People who reduced IG/Smartphone usage, how did you do it?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Too much negativity everywhere. I just want to find ppl who genuinely like what they are doing. If you are one, what do you do and what makes you happy?

is there someone who actually...LOVES their job?

Am too old to love my job. Relaized am just  a cog in the wheel. I work for money. When i hear the mgmt team talk nonsense about purpose and adding value, i happily smile to his face and laugh in my mind.  
 Am here for the money.  The company can fuck itself.

Account Manager

I am a 26/M/60+LPA/IITian Software Engineer at a FAANG. I have spent most of my time travelling places with my friends/solo and have dedicated a significant portion of my small life to my career, and I am quite happy with it. I am confused about one thing tho, should I get married? given I am happy living like this, I just want to hear what men have to say on this, I want to know given a chance would you guys get married? If yes how to check if a woman is a fine fit for you? I made a rule to only date a woman who makes at least 70% of my salary OR has an excellent academic background AND should be humble. With these set of rules the chances of finding a girl is almost slim to none given ratio at good colleges and at high paying tech jobs are like that 🤧, I am sure people won't find these rules good, but I want to know if I am being stupid pls correct me it will help me reshape my thinking.

Help me guys 🫡.

Are you happy with your marriage?

> at least 70% of my salary OR has an excellent academic background 
  
 I'm glad you didn't say "Only candidates from IIT/IIM can apply for this position".

Software Developer

I often wonder if as a software developer, I'm not making much of a difference in the society. Sure, our company as a whole makes an impact, but individually, it feels like we don't have any visual effect in society.

When I see doctors getting so much respect and making such a big impact, or when I notice the good deeds of IAS/IPS/ Army Officers, I can't help but question what I'm contributing to society except paying taxes which too are eaten up by corrupt politicians. 🥲

I do agree with him though. Can't build great things without putting in great amounts of work

Tech Lead

Grapeviners, can you, with all honesty convince a non-believer like me into getting married and having children. If you do, my parents will send a million blessings your way. 

About me: 
- Female, 28
- mostly introverted, very selectively extroverted
- single and normally attractive
- Jinxed when it comes to relationships
- Financially independent, Net worth: 1 cr
- not bragging, but I'm decently intellectual and I can have smart conversations

My reason to resist marriage is: I'm scared it won't work out and will cause bigger problems than being single. Have seen too many unhappy marriages in family and friends. Dating scenes in recent times have only made things even more unimpressive.

Convince me to get married

After a few failed relationships, I had an arranged marriage (at that time, it was just to fulfill what my parents wanted). She was a very conventional girl,, never had any relationship before. I was scared going into the marriage too. 
  
 5 years later, she is the best thing that has happened to me. She helped me explore things I never would have. She gave my life a different perspective. 
  
 I'm not saying just because it happened to me, it could happen to you too. I'm saying unless you take the leap you'll never know what you're missing out on.

You meet new people - on some you cringe, some are boring, some intrigue you, some you respect, and some are intimidating

It is the intimidating lot that makes me jhzdgfhfghsjj (how do I explain this)
I feel small infront of them, even though I am not in the same room or face to face
There's an unknown fear, it feels you have to prove yourself to them (for no reason)
Somehow our brains put them on a higher pedestal for various reasons - it is different reasons for different people

Why why do I have to feel like this? 
How do I get rid of it?

Help me make sense of this

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

I can clearly sense I'm totally off track when it comes to my working style but maybe I'm looking for validation out here. 

I work on a skill in demand from offshore, have worked for a long term project onsite before, I do my work with 100% honesty, conduct proper KTs and in the end I'm nowhere - 12 LPA with 10+ YOE with no great prospects in future. I'm sure if you're following this route of honesty, all you get is your replacement. I have no idea how to proceed further in my career as I have been like this since always- it remains the same everywhere, if you can't be good at playing mind games and establishing your dependency, all you end up with is more work, average raise and your replacement. Some days I feel like quitting altogether but I don't have any plan B and it's like I'm good technically but I can't survive and do all this office politics. I'm a loser, isn't it?

Self introspection on working style

It can be anything related to not doing something you always wanted to but never did, a mistake you realize you shouldn’t have made, or feelings of not being successful enough. Feel free to share your thoughts.

Do you have any regrets?

Failed to spend enough time with my parents. Life moves really fast. If you're around your parents take care of them, spend time with them and if you're away then make sure you visit them often ☮️

Hi! I am a 2019 CS passout and after engineering worked in my family business in mechanical sector as a sales executive. 
I am no longer interested in this field and thinking to shift to IT by relearning MERN. 

1)Currently i am 27 YO so is it too late to join IT as most people of my age are senior devs/tech leads? 
2)Will IT industry(startups/MNCs) accept me with no prior experience in dev as compared to recent passouts? 

If you’ll could advise me it would be of great help.
