Thoughts?- Grapevine

For some, talking in a meeting can be very easy and natural, but for some, this might look like a big task. A team that creates an open environment and seniors who are welcoming and not bossy are extremely important. I have seen people with good ideas and sensible POVs keeping quiet in a meeting because they were cautious of being judged by their colleagues and seniors who wouldn't stop making jokes on juniors to be the funny ones in the room.

On good days we speak, on not so good days we go invisible

Founder

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hey folks,

I'm currently working for a US client and I am 100% billable to them if that information matters. According to the offer letter, the notice period is of 90 days but there's a buyback option where one can choose to pay and not serve the notice period. But from what I've heard, it's up to Capgemini to accept that buyback offer or not.

So I've recently received an offer from a Singapore based startup and I told them that I can join in 30 days cuz if I hadn't, they wouldn't have even interviewed me in the first place. 
They're okay with buying back my 1 month and let me serve 30 days but I'm concerned what if Capgemini refuses to let me leave.

What are my options here? Can I tell them that I'm leaving company due to some personal/health issues so I can get an early release. Do I need to involve a lawyer? 

Thoughts please.

Thanks.

Some of my friends are working and mid-scale startups that have been delaying salaries since late last year. Is this becoming a norm now or was it always like this?

Hello Bs & Gs, 

Thanks for a positive response to the last post: https://share.gvine.app/EDm3me9JnJSnD3d17

A quick note for today. Over the years, being a generalist, I've realized that it's very tough to know when we're bringing the right impact or not. 

In the case of Devs/Designers/Other specialists: The output is quicker and tells the story - an amazing UI/UX, or building well working products. 

For generalists, the feedback loop is much longer, it's very unclear what it will amount to (especially at startups), it's the reason why being a generalist is looked down upon, by some people. 

My realization has been this: over a 1-2 year period, when you look back at your work, it's the picking that determines how you feel about what you did. And also how others feel about how you did.

PICKING: Knowing what to work on. What to A/B test. What 0 to 1s to pursue. Should you prioritize product idea A or product idea B. Should you experiment with growth channel A or growth channel B. 
EXECUTION: Taking what you pick from 0 to 1. Knowing when to take it from 1-10. Working to make it happen. 

Eventually, most days are execution days. Whether you do good work depends on how well researched & well thought out the 'picking' was. 

So pick well, don't under-invest in that stage. Take out time every now and then to course correct. 

Know what to pick.

So i started working with zee5 as a Smart TV developer right out of college. After about 2 years , in March 2024 , layoffs happened due the merger between Sony and Zee was called off.

So i was looking  for Software developer opportunities , after multiple rejections , hundreds of application, got a decent offer from To The New for the same position of Smart TV developer . I am also getting some raise on the previous CTC , which i am glad considering the current market situation.

So i just wanted to ask about the org To The New , how its work culture is ? Also like what are the growth prospects there ? Also since technically it provides service to other big techs.So will it be an issue if i want to switch to a better product based company.

Give your thoughts , just asking for some insights.

A fun article for finance enthusiasts that want an insight into how the RBI regulates the banking industry

How to annoy fund managers with bank investors

RBI wants banks to ditch some funds

RBI releases a circular that restricts banks and NBFCs from investing in certain funds. Primary reason: to stop the "evergreening" of loans. But there's more than meets the eye..

Product Manager

There's lot of hate that goes around on social media

Shaming actors, influencers, and people in the limelight generally 

While you may believe it, there's a hint of 'I can't be like them, I don't have that much money to waste on stuff'

Example- Remember the hate Sunil Sheity's daughter got on her first movie or marriage to KL Rahul. She faded from the limelight but would still have a networth far greater than most of us.

howdy!!


Folks I need your inputs please. I am a single parent to two kids and have a full time job which is basically the only financial source and now WFH is ending and my problem is:

1. With the role n responsibilities i am fully booked for office work and not able to take care of the kids or house like i want to

2. Even if i hire someone like nanny i still thinking of their safety and activities they r doing bcoz i want to engage them is teaching or making them learn spend time with them as they grow be there for them ( bcoz i know how lonely it is to have working parents) so i don’t want them left with nanny bcoz i believe money can be made again but their childhood will not return 

3. Even if i get a WFH role, my time, energy and thinking capabilities will be taken up by the job only again leaving me less energetic, time to care for my kids

4 Everyone is against me leaving the job bcoz that’s the only financial source I have but i want to shift my stream maybe join as a school admin or start a food business that i can handle without much of mental stress but the pay will be way less

So I am looking for something which gives me the time and mental peace to spend and raise my kids with a decent money to meet the needs. 

What can i do???  please tell me any other way out or a guaranteed income source along with being with my kids
