Someone was cheating in pre-final hear exam of college near me ,he threw Chits near my desk when got caught, framed ne in cheating along with him even though I didn't,got a backlog in it before placements, felt suicidal as had to study for the ooad exam and not DSA for placements ,cleared the backlog with an s grade ,got placed at 12l(7.44base) as a data scientist, switched after 6months at 16.35l base ,now looking for another switch to 30lpa,also have appraisal lined up at current company  
 If I look back 2yrs back when I was framed in this shit,I thought I'll be unemployed just like my father(mother is single earner),maybe commit suicide as it was a hopeless situation but I just have 1yoe rn and making 1lpm+ ,ik a lot of PPL are earning wayy more but the shit that I have gone through...

Would appreciate if someone can tell their story of failure and how they came out of it to succeed.

Success after Failure

Success after Failure- Grapevine

I have failed my statistics exam in the first trimester.

The reason I failed is because I took the subject very lightly and didn't focus much, also the Placecomm used to trouble us a lot and kept the CV verification around this time itself.

Now I am determined to pass and restart again.

I am guilty and I own it.

Grapevine team, we have had great AMAs before. Who's next? Can we suggest some?

Came across this beautiful Failure list on LinkedIn

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?

It is fun sometimes but I feel that's 20% off it. There are 99 reasons wherein you feel like giving up daily but somehow you stick along & keep going. The stories we read online or anywhere else of riches are quite few but you feel a complete let down wherein somebody made insane money in 3 years & you are struggling for 5 years+ making some money but not what you imagined.

I run a profitable bootstrapped business for 5+ years & some days are hard coz everybody is hopping on new tech (eg: Crypto, AI) & you might be doing the same old stuff & don't know how to pick yourselves up to learn something new. People are getting funded & making insane money in secondaries, etc. 

Then dealing with bullshit on the internet. Everyone on LinkedIn is successful, putting numbers & gyaan. Some days are overwhelming & you feel being super rich comes with a lot of factors in your favor & tradeoffs as well. Bas, tumhara number aaya nahi hai ya shayad hi aayega. Rant over.

Rant: Entrepreneurship is lonely & exhuasting

How hard is it for a founder to get a new job if their startup fails? Hard as in working a 9-5 job as compared to leading a popular company previously. Do you think the interviews judge them or their ego lets them work?

Business analyst

Are there any examples of early startup founders who failed in their startup idea and then went back to regular jobs?

The point of this question is not to insult rather than to understand a different perspective of a founder’s mindset. We hear all sorts of success stories but we never get to hear the failed stories and what happened to the people who built those companies.

Kinda like in “Silicon Valley” TV show how the younger generation quickly forgot about Pied Piper.

Any founders who went back to 9-5 jobs?

Hi, as the title says, i would really like to hear about success stories about individuals, who despite their lack of formal technical education managed to make a career in tech with sheer perseverance and grit.

Success stories about individuals from a Non tech background as well as no degree.

Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well. I find myself in a challenging situation and could really use your advice and support.

**Context:**
I graduated in 2021 with a degree in electrical engineering from a decent college, but unfortunately, I didn't secure a placement. Since then, I've been struggling to find my path and ended up taking random jobs, leading to a significant gap in my career of almost 2 to 3 years. Alongside my career struggles, I've been battling with depression and anxiety, which have been exacerbated by the lack of support from family and friends. Despite seeking help from therapists and doctors, I haven't seen much improvement. Additionally, I attempted the GATE exam without success, as I lack passion and feel limited options are available.

**Request:**
I'm feeling lost and fearful about my future, especially considering my physical and mental health issues. My confidence has taken a hit due to repeated failures, and I find myself fearing everything. I'm reaching out to this community in the hope of finding guidance, support, and perhaps some practical advice on how to regain my confidence and overcome these fears.

**Additional Request:**
If anyone has faced similar challenges or has insights on how to rebuild confidence after setbacks, I would greatly appreciate your input.

Any insights, personal experiences, or suggestions you can offer would be immensely appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for any help you can provide.

Warm regards

Hi , Please share your stories about your project ,what are some challenges you have faced.

Any Indie app developers, share your success/ failure story.

Today I learnt that personal advice (such as morning routines of billionaires/5 books that Bill Gates recommends) from successful people is not as valuable as systems they use (such as code of ethics in business/ customer service/ work ethic)

Systems or consistent SOPs that successful people follow, have resulted in a good personal brand which fuels business growth as a byproduct..

Seeking Guidance on Career and Health Crisis

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Despite hiring being really shitty in general, I've found PM interviews to be quite random, particularly SMB segment, which is kind of expected as well but sometimes the lack of self-awareness and about the candidate is surprising. Some of them want to keep questions deliberately ambiguous and if you ask for clarity they'll judge you as someone who can't handle ambiguity. And the others will judge you if you don't ask the right questions. As someone with experience in PM I can't believe how bookish the hiring managers are sometimes. Everything is a "pain point " , "problem statement " or a " persona " . So pigeonholed in frameworks and data that they've lost the ability to think without those.

Random PM Interviews

I have been on this journey for a long time now. Lots of failure comes with loads of learning. Each step or initiative I took has helped me grow as a person, the business guy (ed-tech, media space), and also in terms of technicalities (full-stack product management, hardcore hands-on into technology and I love user experience)

Ps: currently running an edtech startup in pre-seed/seed stage

Feel free to ask anything, would be happy to help even personally

5 years of failure (Entrepreneurship) AMA

If I would summarize success or failure in my life it has always been about being at the right time at the right place or being at the wrong place at the wrong time. I have seen people possessing the same skills yet failing to succeed just because they weren't there the moment they were needed. Even guys with below average skill succeed because they said the right thing at the right time. If one can analyse the situation and make the right call then they have already succeeded.

Right or Wrong?
