Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I got into a startup (informal) and invested my savings and also took loan from friends and family.

It would take a couple of years to clear up but I am happy thwt I didn't let go.of the opportunity and the learnings also realised the following.
1.I enjoyed the thrill 
2.When something has to go wrong,It will
3.My priorities changed (family,health,mental peace)
4.I am enjoying what I have more than ever and not cribbing about what I don't have.

I am about to touch 40 and lose all savings(instead loans on the head) but I have never felt so calm ;)

Anyone with a similar life altering experience 😉

My hustle mindset backfired and Lost all,but am happy

Is that reason only in your mind or there are legit  issues stopping you ?

What's stopping you from achieving that thing ?

Senior Software Engineer

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I see jobs being there, but even the entry level jobs are requiring experience. I saw a associate level job posting on linkedin for a startup asking for 4-6 years experience. This is in line with the recent article at The KEN.

Are people really ready to work for low salary for high skills? 
What does this mean for the freshers, job switchers/career switchers? Are we all doomed for now?

What's your take on the market?

What's happening with the job market?

Consultant

It can be anything related to not doing something you always wanted to but never did, a mistake you realize you shouldn’t have made, or feelings of not being successful enough. Feel free to share your thoughts.

Do you have any regrets?

Failed to spend enough time with my parents. Life moves really fast. If you're around your parents take care of them, spend time with them and if you're away then make sure you visit them often ☮️

Software Engineer

If I would summarize success or failure in my life it has always been about being at the right time at the right place or being at the wrong place at the wrong time. I have seen people possessing the same skills yet failing to succeed just because they weren't there the moment they were needed. Even guys with below average skill succeed because they said the right thing at the right time. If one can analyse the situation and make the right call then they have already succeeded.

Right or Wrong?

Is it all about timing?

Frontend Engineer

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.

Product Manager

10 years of schooling, studying hard during festivals, sacrificing my playtime, my childhood for marks..
2 years of high school - Completely cut-off from the world for a good college.
4 years of hard work for a job for a below average salary!!!

On the other hand:
Some random chai wala earns in lakhs.
Some MLM meme girl, living a luxurious lifestyle.
Insensible people are valued in society.
Even a 12th fail selling beer in his family shop lives a better life.

All the hard work I did is in vain? Whatever I did till this point of time was useless? What's the point of an endless struggle, if my destination has more struggle? Something is really wrong..

I have lost all my motivation 😞

What am I doing wrong?

Would you be happy, satisfied and fulfilled by scamming people with MLM schemes? Would you respect yourself? 
  
 Would you be happy, satisfied and fulfilled by running a tea stall? Would you respect yourself? 
  
 Would you be happy, satisfied and fulfilled by dancing on reels? Would you respect yourself? 
  
 Scamming people is illegal, immoral and unethical. 
 Running a Tea Stall is nothing to be looked down upon. It is honorable hard work, regardless of perceived status. 
  
  
 Dancing on Reels -> gaining followers -> being valued by society is nothing to be looked down upon. Creative pursuits, regardless of platform, are honourable hard work and deserve appreciation and respect. 
  
  
 There are people earning millions of dollars doing OF. It depends on the individual whether they are happy doing it or not. 
 So please don't get demotivated. 
 If you see yourself entertaining people by all means work hard on social media. 
 If you see yourself in the food and beverage industry by all means work hard to get there. 
  
 But if you don't see yourself doing all of that and you see yourself doing what you're doing now or something similar but just earning much better, with a prestigious title tied to your name, and being valued and appreciated more by people, then just accept the fact that you've just begun to climb the mountain. Though it's a long and hard climb, it's worth the view. 
  
 Hard work never goes to waste. Work harder and smarter. You'll get where you want to. But decide where you want to go. Stop looking at people who are not even in the same race as you.  
 It's like cursing your destiny why am I not born at Ambani's place, it's if no use. Think and take action only about controllables and leave rest to God.

Someone tell this guy the bitter truth that success have very less to do with your talent and hard work. 

Clarity of career path > Contacts > randomness of life > hard work > talent

She was pretty which is an inherent gene just like your IQ. 
 Why should we glorify intelligent ugly ladies over hot dumb ladies? 
 Both are playing the cards dealt to them.

What did you do to get out of your comfort zone?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Recently being seen a bunch of people here taking a dig on people with high salaries. This is so counter productive. Rather than trying to learn from people who’ve been able to get a head start and getting it for yourself why are you resorting to hating on them? 

This is what is the difference between India and the west. The west is so fu##in capitalistic that people just understand and respect those that have money and everyone else is working hard to make it too. 

Don’t hate the race. Don’t hate the winners. We can all win. Help each other. 

My salary is also high so whatever…

Stop hating people who succeed

Well , you couldn't resist. Could you? 
 Congratulations for the highest package on earth. 
  
 It's stupid race. Let me give you a broader perspective on why a decently paid individual can make it up with consistency within 10 years. 
  
 The inflated package you got will also result in 
   
 Increased risk of layoff 
 Increased rent based on location 
 Increased additional expenses 
 Increased health problems because of stress 
 Decreased family time 
 Confusion in priorities 
  
  
 Since you got money early in life, congrats but what on earth will you buy once you have it all? 
 By 50 you'll be left with minimum wishes you can wish for. 
  
 These are just a few of the common things...  
  
 No hate but everyone should work on their pace once they get a decent salary.

Business Development Manager

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Over the past couple of weeks that I have been on GV, seeing far too many career advice asks, especially from recent or near future graduates. Decisions seem to be at the crossroads all the time.

My view on career shaping, after wading through the career waters for as long as I have:

A Career is Lived Forward but Understood Backwards.

Don't overthink your current situation(s), be a consistent learner and grab the breaks & opportunities that you get. 

Almost all successes that you see around you are "Right place, Right time".  Luck plays an inordinate role in your successes, but you need create your luck - create the environment and momentum for things to come your way.

Career Shaping & Roadmaps

Sales Manager

I want to see how different people perceive success. When will they feel successful, after achieving what? Like x amount of money, a house, a car, a partner, and what else could it be?

Define Success

Grapevine team, we have had great AMAs before. Who's next? Can we suggest some?

A few of my peers in my team talk tech jargons throughout the day in the workplace and do no work at all. They are the ones that are eventually promoted and I feel left out despite doing so much smart work and hard work both.

Teach me some ways to defeat these imposters and grow in my career.
