Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

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?

Thoughts?

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.

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.

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.

The Generalist - #2: Execution is 99%, Picking is 1%. Know what to pick.

Hii Community, 

Two months ago, I was let go from a retail company where I was hired on a fixed-term contract for a supply chain operation role with SAP support, specifically for a project that has now concluded. As I look for new opportunities, my previous CTC appears high, which is preventing me from getting shortlisted. How should I address this issue?

Unrelated/pseudo-related info:

She is really fond of caffeine (Frontend developer rituals). She is like one of those coffee geeks. She has a spam account specially dedicated to various kinds of coffees around the globe. She also has a scrap book about various coffee beans.  Kinda absurd (creeped me out initially when I saw it in her bag, she keeps them in those CID waale little  specimen zip bags) but its her thing and I value her quirks. 

I am not really a fan, but I do enjoy cold coffee once in a blue moon when the mood strikes.

But for her, I would. 

Thankfully, she isnt into tea, because I just HATE chai (might trigger a lot of people, but it tastes like cardboard to me for some reason).

Every time I get stumbled by coffee aroma around me, it immediately reminds me of her voice. 

Ok enough about my weaknesses. Now give me solutions.

Can I ask my crush to "casually" join me for a cup of coffee after 6-7 interactions? Will it sound too despo? What if it gets too late if I wait?
