Thanks for sharing with the rest of us who can't DM yet! Useful!

If you refer someone then you can DM easily. That is what I did tbh.

Thank you for sharing. How to DM someone?

Tap on someone’s username and then tap on message.

Product Manager

I was to about to DM @salt, but he/she is a celebrity here at grapevine. Happy to hear you guys had a great conversation.

They usually reply sooner than later. Some good things to say about them.  
  
 I think they are a very senior Product Leader who despise the worst of LinkedIn.  
  
 Harsh truth but in another post they had mentioned why that is the reason that they never aimed to become an Influencer.

Software Engineer

Connected with @salt for the Daily Learning DMs and we had a nice chat on Steven Wolfram’s explanation of LLMs.

Stephen Wolfram explores the broader picture of what's going on inside ChatGPT and why it produces meaningful text. Discusses models, training neural nets, embeddings, tokens, transformers, language syntax.

What Is ChatGPT Doing … and Why Does It Work?

Thank you for DMs on Grapevine

Thank you for DMs on Grapevine- Grapevine

Will share good reading material for the day to make you smarter everyday.

If anyone is interested, reach out to me via DMs. I can only reach out to 5 people this month so, first 5 people to comment, I’ll send them a DM.

Topics I’ll discuss:
Everything under the Sun. From Econ to STEM and everything in between.

We can even have chill conversations about them.

Bored at work today, starting a Daily Knowledge DMs on Grapevine.

When grapevine launches DMs
Who would be the first person you text?

I’ll definitely have a intellectual session with @salt or @barbaadeshwar 😂

How about you?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I joined AmEx Gurgaon in 2015 in PoS Fraud Strategy as a Business Analyst. I was having a rough time at AmEx as I really wanted to pursue my passion of Mathematics in the US. I had secured an admit at Univeristy of Illinois - Urbana Champaign and UT-Austin in their MS programme and was totally checked out at work.

During my tenure at AmEx, I was mostly bored. Looking at internal tools and spreadsheets was the worst. This coupled with the fact that I was travelling to and fro between Noida and Gurgaon meant that I was commuting a solid 4 hours everyday.

In this time of mental agony, I met this charismatic young woman, she was an Analyst in the Credit Underwriting Team. I don't know what got into me and I asked her out to coffee. We went to the Starbucks in CyberHub the next morning and she was the most delightful personality ever. Sweet and elegant, she talked of her passion with vigour, from her ideals to writing poems. I left that conversation feeling uneasy though. 

She reminded me of what I wanted but also of what I was scared to lose in her. 

We continued to date for the next 6 months in a hush-hush manner to avoid any suspicion at AmEx. I had to start the process of getting my F1-visa for the US and when I told her about it she was extremely disheartened.

In my heart, I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my days with her and life without her was nothing but an empty void. She came with me to the US Consulate Office, and I don't know what got into me but I kissed her.

I knew that I wanted her more than anything else. 

Decided not to give the Visa Interview and applied to ISB with my GRE score. Got into it and ended up becoming a Management Consultant in MBB. 

We got married in 2019 and welcomed our daughter into this world in 2021. 

I wonder what life would've been living in the US. But whatever it would be, it couldn't be better than being in her arms when we come back from work. 

Have faith. Everything will turn out to be okay. Trust the process

Nifty again at ATH, 5% up since I last posted the update. 1000 point move in 11 days, already. How high will it go?

NIFTY50 at All Time High again! How's your portfolio looking?

Nothing but a gratitude post for the amazing community of people i got introduced to thanks to this app.

I'm just a 22 yo kid new to all the corporate jargon of savings and investments and taxes and wlb and all of that stuff, and i believe this platform has helped me tremendously to gain knowledge of

- why we should have an emergency fund and how to build it. Really needed a perspective of how it should look like and GV gave me exactly that
- how to manage investments, I've started to earn a bit well recently so definitely a huge ups on the knowledge I got on investments here.
- how to become a better swe. Some amazing folks occasionally drop in some very rare tips, love to learn more and get an insight into how exp folks think and work.

and lots of other stuff such as which startups to be aware of having shite culture, good places to join, occasional memes and everything else.

Terrific product in the making, would love to see it scale even more in coming times.

Now that i have your attention, DMs rolling out when 😀

Thankyou, team Grapevine

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I have been getting great response on my posts lately so decided to share one of the most important books on Optimization algorithms that helped me crack my interview at Goldman. Mykel J. Kochenderfer and Tim A. Wheeler have done a greta job explaining some of the toughest concepts in Mathematical optimization and they have implemented the code in Julia which is super fun to code along.

Next post on AI will come when this post gets 50 likes.

Sharing the link to the book here, it covers some of the most foundational topics in optimization.

This book provides a broad introduction to optimization with a focus on practical algorithms for the design of engineering systems. We cover a wide variety ...

I am a senior Data engineer(9YOE) and have worked on a large scale Data warehousing, Spark, Orchestration(Airflow) and visualization on AWS and Azure. I currently don't have scope for tech stack improvement in my current org and would like to learn and implement my personal projects. So far, I have been advised to learn golang and kubernetes so that I could deploy ML models in the future or even move into observability space. Any suggestions on what tech stack I should learn? I want to jump to startups in a couple of months and eventually move into a pure software engineering role. 
Already working on leetcode and practicing system design for the same.

Senior Data Engineer-Which Tech stack to upskill?

Data engineer

I’ll go first.

To me, it’s all about access. 
Access to authentic ideas.

The best search result you get on Google is high SEO but low authenticity. On LinkedIn, there are so many people but everyone is shilling a course or 1:1 resume reviews. 

Mostly it has become a place which started as vanity signalling 

Like
( I have started a new role…, I have been accepted at …, I have received offers from F, A, N and G and I’m joining G.)  

And now people pushing mindless content with “Agree?” or “Comment Interested”.

Somehow, everyone is truly inauthentic to please a wider audience and say the exact same generic gyaan to maximise engagement.

For now, Grapevine is where people are genuinely themselves and I get to hear interesting things that you get to hear near the coffee machine.

Kinda feels like we’re all a big community where we all contribute and learn new things about the professional landscape around us.

Godspeed Grapevine. 🚀

Hola Grapeviners! I would love to know why are you on the platform?

Last week, I was wondering how long has it been for me since I joined Grapevine. Scrolling through OTPs, I realized that the first time I "may" have joined the app is exactly one year ago since today.

It has been a hell of a ride. I have had insane conversations with some of the best minds in this country. It also made me appreciate how the same people who will be discussing Finance in one post also end up talking about Nietzsche in another post. 

I have always felt that we all have great stories to share in our lives. Grapevine has always been a place where smart people in this country have contributed to the collective knowledge here. 

Lastly, there are always a ton of gloomy folks around you, they are doomsayers. That is always because people in general are more optimistic about their future and that remains a mainstream emotion. Which means that the cost of being wrong is low and the praise for being right is high when you are negative all the time as it is a contrarian take.

But let me tell you the most important thing, India is becoming big. No matter what may come our way. People will crib about things as they should, but don't let that deter you from building in India and staying in India. There is a ton of money to be made and you should aim to be on the right side of history.
