This doesn't look believable. If situation is that dire, it would have reflected in job losses. Except startups, there isn't any  big layoffs happening in any profitable company.

Today, I had an interview for a job as a software developer. The person interviewing me started by asking if I could speak Hindi. I told him I could understand it but wasn't good at talking because I'm from South India. He gave me a mean smile, which made me feel really unsure of myself right away. 😔 We went on with the interview. He asked a question that was kind of a design question, and when I tried to answer, he didn't really listen. Even when I asked him some questions, he didn't give a good answer. He was busy with his phone, and it seemed like he wanted to say no to me. I'm feeling pretty down about it. 😞 I don't get why he acted like that, but now I feel dumb after doing the interview.

A bad interview experience 🤕

Hello design folks of grapevine! 
A friend of mine has some visual design experience and is looking to transition to product design. She was considering joining the Ownpath product design fellowship (https://www.ownpath.com/product-design-fellowship) Any reviews of this program or have any of you been through this fellowship?

It is actually bad?!

When I was doing my masters in economics last year, I met a girl. I was instantly attracted to her, however never got a chance to ask her out. Eventually I did, and we went out a couple of times. I really liked her but I think she considered me a good friend. I got mixed messages from her. Once, she sends me text messages in the middle of the night asking me to take her to lunch tomorrow and another she doesn't reply back to me. Anyway I persisted but eventually she kinda distanced herself from the relationship after we hooked up. I had fallen for her but she wanted no part of anything. Didn't return my calls or texts, or when she did made up excuses to avoid hanging out. 

So I told her how I felt. She was angry at me for ruining our friendship even though we hooked up, which she instigated. I never saw her again for the 3 months( she went to Delhi for some work) but she called me occasionally if she needed to talk or something.

So she left and we remained in touch via Whatsapp. On one occasion, I made a passing joke as to how she spent time with every dude there but me. She became very offended and we stopped communication. She started it up again but didn't apologise.

Finally, I actually visited Delhi because another friend of mine was getting married and invited me. I didn't visit her because of time constraints and she became pissed, and wouldn't talk to me, accusing me of doing it on purpose. That was 6 months ago.

I'm going to a friends birthday soon and she's gonna be there. 

Would it be bad for me to hold the grudge? Or should I just let it go.

Bear in mind, she avoided me whilst hanging out with others and then accuses me of avoiding her.
I don't wanna be a douche but I don't wanna be a pushover, someone who can call me whenever and I'll come running.

Please help Grapevine! 🙏🏻

She's a big red flag. She's either manipulative or moody. We don't need these teasing and chasing games in 2024.

Product Manager

It was a pretty tense situation at the office. 

Nearly all engineering managers were laid off, most of the SDE-2s who were not the core engineering team and a lot of SDE-1s who had just joined this year. Even the interns were let go today.

Pretty scary scenario today. Just putting out an update. Apparently it was done to please the investors for the next series of funding. Can't say for sure though.

CityMall conducted layoffs today.

Is it advisable to give feedback to your manager ?

Feedback to your manager in 1:1?

Why people are preferring to be DINKs? Or are they feeling forced to?

Got to know through my network that Brainly india has asked the entire team from their MD to all junior folks to go. Reason - sudden change in strategy.. they didn’t let the product even launch.. the team was in full swing prepping.. impacted folks 30+ or around that number.. within 6 months of hiring everyone.. while in the interviews they promised 5 years runway.. long term strategy for india.. ceo didn’t even apologise.. they come hire Indians and let go at the drop of a hat.. the employment contract said that either party have to give 3 months notice to resign.. so that’s what they did they are giving 3 months pay not in one go but month on month and after that nothing. No severance pay, no bonus paid to eligible employees, no help in finding jobs , no mental health support, medical finishes in 3 months.. in this time when hiring is on global freeze they have treated Indians like puppets come hire and fire when you want, they have money in bank account a runway for 18-24 months.. still they couldn’t hold on to india team.. heartless way of dealing with junior folks how will we find jobs

Brainly India - entire team laid off

I was working with Dun and Bradstreet here in Hyderabad. Called yesterday to my workplace, and was told that I was being let go due to some restructuring. In plain terms you are fired. Once again handled really poorly, no advance notice nothing. Was not even prepared for it. Layoffs are inevitable but the least companies can do is to handle it better. They just don't understand that this only gives em negative image or maybe they don't care.

So I worked in a really shitty company called Metaforms earlier Work Hack.

They hired 4people and fired 3 within a week's time. 

The founder is very toxic and expecting a lot from the very first day.Dude let people understand what the company is and then let them adjust accordingly and say later on. 

Wouldn't recommend anyone joining.

They don't have Notice Period. It's hire and fire and they'll say u are not suited for the fast paced environment here. They'll pay u full month salary but go out on the very same day.

Fkn left my job for this company.Struggled 2 months later on

Got fired in 5 days.Toxic Startup

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I was persuing cse from a decent college in pune . In my last year i.e.2023 , I was placed in a startup in pune with CTC 5 lpa but it had bond of 2 years ,so I rejected that offer .I ended up getting my college placement account banned because according to them I was already placed ,so I started looking for jobs off campus,but I never thought it's going to be this hard to look for jobs off campus. Applying to multiple companies in a day ,resume getting rejected and then applying again .for some where I get shortlisted, they keep on asking questions from things which are not even mentioned in my resume although their jd don't even mentioned those skills .In some companies where my interview was 10 on 10 (according to me), still they rejected me and when asked they used to say ,they found more suitable candidates.
I graduated in September 2023 , and I am still looking for job , trying to upgrading myself everyday to get better.
I never regret my decision of not accepting that job. I don't know if I am getting any job or not but I am gonna be more strong and better with each passing day .
Regards .
