Start writing better posts across social media channels

yes agree, especially Twitter posts as space constraints drive you to a better structure. read a lot about consulting and frameworks and then practice it 

If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter- Mark Twain (still not clear who wrote it)

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have good grip on grammar but when I try to speak I lose control and I am always lack of words while speaking but this is not the case while writing. 
How to improve this thing?
One thing worths mentioning here that I become nervous pretty quickly. It may be the potential cause behind this issue.

Communication Issue

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

Can you list down the companies you have interviewed at for Data Scientist/ML roles and tell us whether DSA was asked?

I'll start:

Paypal, Visa, Truecaller, Navi - No DSA (had multiple rounds)
Paytm, Coinbase - No DSA(Rejected after one round)
Walmart- Asked DSA, but it didn't carry much weight
Zeta, Microsoft - Asked DSA

Which top product companies ask DSA in their data scientist interviews and which ones don't?

just like we need physical workouts to keep our bodies healthy, we need to do mental exercises to keep our brain sharp

do you do any brain exercises intentionally?

I've always been someone who's had to think well before I spoke. Unless it's something I'm very well aware of (ex: my day to day work), I take time, first to make up the words in my head and then deliver. This delay, is something I want to work on.
If you've been in my place at some point, what made you change; and improve on your communication? 
I don't think this is hindering my abilities at work, but it certainly does - in connecting with new people and in all the non-work comms.

Think before you speak

I was recently scrolling through linkedin as a regular day to find 
my daily dose of  depression

And Suddenly I saw a profile of x Person who started his engineering in July 2023 has 500+ LC Problems solved a CI/CD pipeline set up project and What not

I was so shocked to see at what level the competition has raised a first year guy who has just entered the stream has started all this 
I am a graduate and barely knew all this back then 

This X person has 4 starts in CodeChef and Some ratings in CF

If this person and I are competing for the same job 
I felt I will be trashed to bins 

And I see the Leetcode guys 500 Solved Rating this that just in 1st and 2nd year of college

I was terrified and impressed at the same time 

Are these next generation too impulsive to over skill them for a job ?

Hill's philosophy is that thoughts shape reality. Key to this are desire, belief, and persistence. By cultivating a positive mindset and taking action, anyone can achieve their goals.

Thirteen Steps to Riches
1. Desire: Start with a burning desire. Clearly state what you want, when you want it, and what you will give in return. Visualize and affirm this goal consistently.

2. Faith: Believe in your ability to achieve your goals. Use auto-suggestion—repeating positive affirmations to build confidence.

3. Autosuggestion: Influence your subconscious mind by affirming your goals and positive thoughts repeatedly.

4. Specialized Knowledge: General knowledge isn’t enough. Acquire specific knowledge relevant to your goals through continuous learning.

5. Imagination: Use imagination for innovation and problem-solving. Hill distinguishes between synthetic (recombining existing ideas) and creative (generating new ideas) imagination.

6. Organized Planning: Create actionable plans. Form a "Master Mind" group of supportive individuals. Regularly refine your plans.

7. Decision: Be decisive. Successful people make decisions quickly and firmly.

8. Persistence: Persistence is crucial for overcoming obstacles. Maintain a positive attitude and keep pushing forward.

9. The Master Mind: Collaborate with like-minded individuals. A Master Mind group combines knowledge and effort, amplifying success.

10. The Mystery of Sex Transmutation: Redirect sexual energy into productive activities to enhance creativity and drive.

11. The Subconscious Mind: Feed your subconscious with positive emotions and goals. Protect it from negative influences.

12. The Brain: The brain broadcasts and receives thoughts. Focus your thoughts to connect with other minds and gain insights.

13. The Sixth Sense: Develop intuition through meditation and mindfulness. This provides inspiration and guidance.

"Burn all the bridges" is a central theme of this book

Help! How did you reduce over thinking or rumination?

So I might get some hate for this. I know this is weakness and the feedback I've gotten is toughen up. But I've never known how.
 Is there anyone else whose body and mind had accepted that they're not going to amount to anything but fought their way through it? Can you tell me your story? Or give me any book suggestions?

I shut down under pressure

My advice is simple. Spite. Hate the situation so much that you come out of that, or conquer it with pure spite. The Hatred of ever being found in such a situation will propel you towards success.

I’m going to join an MBA college this year. I’ve 2-3 months of available time before the session begins in either June or July 2024. Currently, I’m learning Excel and PowerPoint as recommended by almost everyone I’ve asked for advice. Besides this what skills, certifications etc. should I learn in order to enhance my CV(My major specialisation is going to be in marketing). I’ve also got to know that certifications don’t have much value since you cannot mention those in your CV. So is there anything I can do as of now which will help me to strengthen my CV. Please don’t tell me to relax and chill because my academics are below average and I’m going to face issues during my MBA journey so I want to utilise these 2 - 3 months in a productive way so that it gives me headstarts for my MBA journey. 

Also any advice on how to make the most of my MBA journey, including specific actions to be taken during the program with a focus on achieving a successful placement would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks in Advance!!!

What skills should I learn before starting my MBA journey?

Thanks for loving Part 1 of my RLE.
https://share.gvine.app/1phkz5E232ikFMwH8

I am loving this phase of my life. Wlb is good.

Eating organic food, drinking clean water 💦 and breathing clean air 🫁.

More time for family and society.
Getting good sleep with deep sleep more than 2h consistently. No regional holiganism. Life ain't kinda hullabaloo which used to be case in metro.

Saving+investing 100% of my salary (thanks to my investments in last 7-8y)

I want to sustain this and live like this for rest of my life.

I am in late 20s and sitting on total 93L savings.

It will cross 8d soon but am confused on how to go through sustainability. 

Please help me navigate.

1. I don't want to do job. 
Startup or Meaningful work is my calling. In Covid i worked for multiple startups and helped them in many ways. MVP to PMF, am good at marketing, sales, HR and tech. Planning to join a remote startup or start my own. But it should be meaningful startup not just a bigger fool game.

2. I Can do agriculture side by side as I have around 15acres of land. It can give output = Median package of tier 1 mba. Have ideas like growing stevia, alovera and other useful stuff instead of wheat n rice like my old generation. Then it will be huge but again have to convince father. Startups like dehaat are helping in this as well.

3. Get a good franchise in nearby city like sleepwell, Pizza Hut, kfc or tamo and get regular returns.

4. Put all money in FD and get 50k/m return and live a happy life. (50k is more than enough for family of 5 where I live currently)

5. I love reading, blogging, debating, quizzing on economics, geopolitics, spirituality, semiconductor, politics and tech. Can build an online business around this on YouTube and internet.


Please guide me how to reach to correct idea and navigate properly with minimal risk.

Thanks in advance and only serious people reply.

If someone is on same boat ⛵ then do DM.

I am a 26/M/60+LPA/IITian Software Engineer at a FAANG. I have spent most of my time travelling places with my friends/solo and have dedicated a significant portion of my small life to my career, and I am quite happy with it. I am confused about one thing tho, should I get married? given I am happy living like this, I just want to hear what men have to say on this, I want to know given a chance would you guys get married? If yes how to check if a woman is a fine fit for you? I made a rule to only date a woman who makes at least 70% of my salary OR has an excellent academic background AND should be humble. With these set of rules the chances of finding a girl is almost slim to none given ratio at good colleges and at high paying tech jobs are like that 🤧, I am sure people won't find these rules good, but I want to know if I am being stupid pls correct me it will help me reshape my thinking.

Help me guys 🫡.

Are you happy with your marriage?

> at least 70% of my salary OR has an excellent academic background 
  
 I'm glad you didn't say "Only candidates from IIT/IIM can apply for this position".

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Hi Guys, I'm an SDE and I have this weird problem where I stress too much when some work is given to me which I don't understand.

Basically I'm not scared of high workload, as long as I know how to do it. Because then I know IT WILL BE DONE, I just have to work to finish it.

But when I get stuck on a problem, I DONT KNOW IF IT WILL BE DONE, I just keep thinking about it even if I close my laptop. The more I think, the more scary the problem becomes and then I start thinking if it continues and I'm not able to deliver more work, I might get fired and then during background verification for the next company, they will see I was fired and then no one will hire me. Basically my thoughts spiral out of control and make my life miserable to the point where I don't feel hungry.

If I'm confident I'm very confident, I feel like i can do any problem but when I see myself failing multiple times, i lose my mental strength

I need help and I want to improve this nature, not get stressed when things go south. Do you guys feel the same or know how to handle it

Any books or words of wisdom or thought process that you follow which helps you deal with job related work stress will be extremely helpful.

Strange work anxiety

Brainstorming is all about building on existing knowledge! What techniques do you use to transform familiar information into fresh, innovative ideas?

Brainstorming!

I am a consultant with around 2 years of work experience. I find myself spending a lot of time perfecting documents, and ultimately compromising on its overall quality in the stipulated time. Upon evaluation - I personally see myself spending a lot of time researching and getting the perfect statistic or argument that will make my case. Sometimes, I do it even for sections that are not as important as the main analysis. 
In such a case, what would you advise one to do? 
How do I become more structured with my research and final output?

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

I always think of studying or building that one project over the weekend or complete that one chore which is pending from past 2 years!
But fail everytime, I don't even move on weekends i don't like going anywhere I don't even like house full of people I just want quite time in weekends but unfortunately don't get it so I feel like I have not relaxed properly and this makes me think I deserve to be lazy all because of this have not studied from a long time so much so that I am almost back to being a noob on my skills its so freakin heart breaking where I have landed myself and I repeatedly do this every week! I can't even focus on one thing. Even if I quit social media and get serious it's just for 2-3 days max after that I am back to the procrastination den.

Please guide, seriously need advice and steps that can be helpful to overcome this.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hi PM's

I have been a PM for the last 1.5 years before that I had marketing experience after which I took a career change and landed here

The work I did in PM till now has been quite focused on execution part but not product/strategy neither I developed any kind of product roadmap or was involved.

In job 1 (small company less than 20 workforce) - I spent around 11 months in which I created 3 apps 2 web and one mobile as per business direction and their approach towards customer and market then I changed my job because I was more interested to change my domain since I had spent around 5 years approx in a single domain and also wanting to manage a bit mature product along with to learn product strategy and roadmap and also monetary upgrade

I was the only Pm here spearheading everything below me were QA and project co-ordinator and outsourced developers

In job 2 (A company with around 400-500 employees) - I have spent around 4 months as a PM here it's a new domain their product is a bit mature has thousands of users but again I feel the same as I felt earlier I have been doing more execution work rather than strategy and roadmap or learn any new skills neither I feel the boss is very helpful and he's is the co-founder of the company.

Here also I am the only PM here but tech is inhouse and we have a great bonding in terms of work but everyone feels dissatisfied nor they have learnt anything new since arriving.

There are also concerns at company level which I feel are scary that their goal is to optimize costs from everywhere possible and they have not been paying salary on time plus the upper management is also implementing extreme micromanagement on tech and product function as we all feel like we have been just striking list from sheet in terms of development which we are supposed to complete.

I am again thinking to switch job but the market is not well as it was few months back I am in a bit of dilemma here on what is right and what is not?

Clarity Required

What did it take to get to that point? I'm reasonably comfortable with mediums but hard problems feel like a few notches above in difficulty. Should I find the equivalent rating of mediums on codeforces and work from there? Or is it better to keep reading LC hard solutions until something clicks?

To folks who can solve LC Hards

I have 1 YOE and I often miss my deadlines which causes spillover. The tasks assigned to me get completed by me, and I face very little difficulty in it.

Also, when someone asks me about a different part of the codebase, I am unable to answer confidently. I tried reading documentation, but couldn't figure out much. But still I do read the documentation sometimes.

I identified distractions and removed them, mostly my phone. But recently I noticed that I still miss deadlines, but the reason for that is I take a long time to figure out the issue/feature that I am going to develop.

So far I have tried
- Removing distractions, by uninstalling SM apps 
- White boarding the issue beforehand
- Communicating better and early.

Things I am going to try
- Use debugger instead of logs(I know, should have done before)
- Document before implementing (Didn't know, that this was a standard practice before)
