Tired- Grapevine

Tired of every fucking thing in this city. Born and brought up in this city. Life was good. However its not the same now. Fucking overpopulation, overcrowding, over expensive rent, food, where are we heading. Public transport is good, lol, try traveling for your 9-5 job. Roads are broken. Traffic is terrible. Monsoon about to worsen things more. A pm wants to conduct a rally in this city, and my 1.5 hours of travel turns out to be of 4.5 fucking hours. Have just watched 2people fall off the local train. Someone has to step in and please do something. Please stop the population from increasing. Please do something.

I made the mistake of graduating into a recession and managed to get a middle management job that I'm overqualified and underpaid for. I've had several recruiters and senior team members in the roles I'm applying for tell me that my profile is good, give me hope for an interview, and then stop responding after sending a rejection mail. I'm sure I need to upskill myself and I am, but I guess I'm going to be spending the better part of my 20s playing catch up because of this.

I have it a lot better than most people, so I try not to complain, but it feels demeaning to be setting up meetings and writing word docs when I have several finance and statistics projects and internships. I thought I was signing up for a quant role, and got switched ("restructured") to a different team on my second day. I tried being incredibly insecure about my skillset, but I think I'll give up on job applications for a while. I've seen the amount of favouritism that happens in recruiting at my job, and I've heard from two recruiters now that the decision to hire me was "out of their hands". Just focusing on other things I've been neglecting and doing my CFA silently until the tide changes in hiring. At least I have a job, I can't imagine what it's like not to in this economy.

Just... Really Tired.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I have a total of about 7 years of work experience, 2 years before MBA and 5 years after. The chunk of my experience is with an ecommerce startup. I've had at least three different role changes here and 10+ manager changes. I've worked my ass off in every role but with a constant feeling that it wasn't enough. I suspect a part of this is the imposters syndrome and the other part is the hustle culture that the company promotes. You're expected to be always on the go and irrespective of the pace you're at, it's never enough. 

I have been with this company for over 4 years and my ESOPs are 100% vested. I have been sitting on this very strong need of wanting to move on from here. The constant uncertainty + the layoffs I've seen is an added motivation. The company is changing its strategy every quarter and no one seems to know what they're doing. At this point people are only working for the optics and because losing a job in this market could mean months of unemployment. I want to move out but feel confused about what my skill set is. In a startup you end up doing just about everything. You become a generalist and that's making me feel like I lack depth. I'm low on confidence, the job market is unforgiving and I feel absolutely stuck right now. I'm unrepaid compared to my peers and that's a constant thought in my head. I'm currently unmarried with no dependents so the money is not an issue from sufficiency pov, it's more about being paid per the market standards. 

I'm not sure how to get out of this limbo and it's eating at me every second.

Just sick of this shit

That last brain cell is exhausted

My end semester exams are ongoing for nearly a month. And now, I'm mentally drained. Lab exams along with the endsem exams have left me mentally tired. I'm unable to remember how much I try. Tomorrow is the last exam and I think I'm out. I'm done. What to do? can't remember a thing. Even an easy subject seems like Mt. Everest to me now.

So I've never been in a relationship. During my college days, I was really attached to someone and liked him a lot. We were together for about a year. Not relationship together - but it's like when you're close to someone but not given a relationship tag yet. But after one year, I got to know that he was talking to his ex girlfriend and then he left me giving some reasons. I was devastated.
Since then, I used to keep pushing men away.
Whenever someone tried to come close to me, I kept on pushing them.
And that's how I've never been in a relationship.
And now that I wish to be in a relationship, every guy around me is either already married or about to get married.
I'm 25
Not sure what needs to be done now.

Hi, I have an offer from Company A and my joining date is in next 2 weeks. But just last friday i got another offer from Company B with much higher salary than A. 

But I have interest to work on Company A. Do you think I could negotiate with Company A so close to the joining? Has anyone done it before and what was your result?
I'm worried if they may rescind the offer if I asked. Appreciate if anyone could shed some light on how to approach this. 

Thanks.

Anyone negotiated salary few days before joining?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Left previous job due to severe toxicity in the entire co. Only 2 senior level people would boss around the entire co. and then put the blame on junior roles if things didn't move as expected. 

Been on the lookout for a new role for almost 2 months now but to no avail. I'm exhausted. Don't know how to go about it. Lost all motivation.

But I know for a fact I'm fucking great at what I do. 

In case you're aware of companies that are hiring for a PM role, please share.

I feel perpetually burnt out these days. A few weeks in office and  crave a holiday. Is it just me?  

Earlier, used to feel so fresh at work. 

I’m lacking motivation now. What’s wrong with me?

Feel perpetually burnt out!

Risk Analytics

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey Hey People. I've been in PM-ship for 4 years, and I have been jumping (unfortunately) from one sinking ship to another. Since Startups started going belly up, I've been switching but not able to keep up with the absolute abuse of 14-16 hour workdays including weekends.

I am looking for some guidance or advice on how to switch to a "safer" company in which I can stay and build my career for the next 3-4 years. I've almost run through the gauntlet of 3 companies in the last two years and feel absolutely burnt to a crisp.  Whether it be policies, workplace politics ( main reason for quitting the last 2 orgs) or culture, I am simply not able to go through the wringer. 

I want to switch to a place where I can do Product + Analytics but have a safer moat of a learning curve. Most startups lack any documentation or training and it's very disastrous when shit hits the fans because no one has any idea or documentation on what works. Pile up abusive micromanagement and valour thievery into the equation as well. 

I'm simply burnt out to death and I feel this shit hitting me in my skull every living second. I want to be in a place where I am able to perform and learn more (not breakneck) stable pace.

How to switch from Startup Hells to MNCs.

Product Manager

I've been working for the last 5.5 years in sales and projects. I kinda don't feel like doing anything anymore. Why do you think it could be? 
Things on the personal front are okay. I just find it hard to be consistently driven. 
This is my 4th company now. Got laid off from 2, and left 1 due to the pandemic. 30 y.o. now, single with an MBA with a niche specialisation from a decent college, which isn't being used anywhere. 
Had to take a pay cut while joining this one. Big chunk. Talk about ESI level salary. Feel lack of growth in professional tools, and completely demotivated to even learn despite buying a million courses online, can't join FT cos obviously I can't stop working rn. (Sigh)

Fatigue or???

Project manager

I have been in this industry for 4 years now and there is not a single day that i hated this place any less. Today 9th August 2023 i am all alone in my room thinking to myself about what’s the point of this? 

I have no life i am all alone and tbh i have no real friends. A few of them that i do have are so far away from me busy in their life. No love life no social life. At 27 i feel wasted, done, finished let me clarify not in a suicidal way. I just feel exhausted my body is breaking down by the day i feel. I am just broken at this point and feel like quitting this profession altogether. I just don’t feel happy. The more i work the more irritated and frustrated i get.
To top all that i have no one to share my emotions with here. Call it whatever you may wanna call a cry for help, a rant or nonsense. I am at that point where every morning feels like punishment. Every night that i go to bed i try to stay positive but i am not able to. I just hate everything. 
I am not a lazy man i work for 10-12 hours everyday and i think now that has finally got to me as i feel finished.
I don’t know if anyone will read it or not i just wanted to reach out to people or anyone who feels like me. Broken tired and just done with everything.
