The same was said about your generation and the generation before. 
  
 The same will be said about the next generation and the one after that.  
  
 So, avoid using a heinous crime to justify your closeted desire to chain younger generation because “morals”

Advice is the most irritating part a person can take if given so . My stand is take it or leave it. Don't want anyone to do introspection of the matter at various angles . Take it as a general viewpoint and move further

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

My 2 cents to future Richie Rich parents:

Kids are growing up in a fast paced and curiosity driven environment. the dopamine hit is crazy on kids these days. I would not simply blame social media for all of these uncultured activities which are taken up by kids these days. But the generation is growing up that way. We have to help out our next generation to take up a sport or an artform to learn discipline. Which leads them in the right way shows them life is not easy .

we are everywhere surrounded with full speed data connections and so many sites. And until some very next day we become partners, we watch it in a chill tone that it's ok so what and all of sudden someone comes and then we don't want this in the universe from him/her around her. In such   situations how behave or tickle the situations, because nowadays kids r so early so smart.

How to teach next generation that p*orn is bad thing.

Software Developer

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Been in Bangalore for 6+ years and love everything the city has given me. 
This city ( more like people here) taught me what software engineering and product sense is, how to entrepreneurs function, whats a 100X coder like. 
Made many memories, weekend trips to nearby places were so nice. Dated, moved in and then married my girlfriend, adopted a dog. So Bangalore has given me a lot. 
But in hindsight it takes a way a lot also - 
1. Everybody is in constant work mode, even in parties its just about who is doing what
2. Everybody is in loot mode here - i have seen locals pay less for veggies/fruits in front of me, then the veggies apparently have lead in them
3. Rents/builders/brokers/roads - we all know whats up with them 

Though it was nice initially, now i feel like even after earning so much ( ctc > 1cr) if i just spend it all here ( monthly expenses ~2lacs same is with all my married friends), what is the point even.

Hence making a move to slow life now, where you get a house with garden for 25k and fresh veggies and you can actually develop some relationship with community. 

This urge to always outperform in career is not really needed, we all eventually work towards savings and hence if i earn less but spend even lesser, its more or less the same thing for me.

But i dont want to live in a matchbox, travel 1 hour to meet a friend, eat a roti for 150bucks and be in constant anxiety about climbing the ladder. 

All i want is to focus on health, and sit in a garden in some sunshine with my wife and my dog and enjoy a cup of tea. 

So yes, I AM DONE. Moving to a tier 2 ( more like tier 2.5 town ) 

Happy to answer any questions if anybody has any.

So are you fed up with Bangalore or just the career rat race? 
  
 Both are different. 
  
 Also, costs can be low in Bangalore, spending 2L/mo in married life isn't a feature of the city, it's the feature of your circle. 
  
 Not all high earners have to be HENRYs

I blame parents for this. Not that coaching centres are saints, they suck the life out of students by making them study 24/7 but the reason that child is in coaching centre is because parents put him/her there.

And every suicide letter I have read from students mentions that they couldn't fulfil parents expectations.

They are the reason their child is in that condition, just because they want to brag and seek validation  from so called society that their child is a prodigy (and want to establish that they are the creator of this prodigy) who went to medical/IIT. And if the child doesn't act acc. to their expectations, they start gaslighting them "We gave you birth" "Maa baap bhagwan ka roop hote hai how dare you blame us Or don't listen to us" 
I once watched a movie (don't remember the name) where actress says "As parent we determine if our child needs tuition classes but at same time we fail to know if he/she needs therapy"

Who do you think is to be blamed? 

Also parents on GV don't push your child if he doesn't want to fly, thinking he has wings, he may fall to death.

The Court was hearing a PIL filed by a Mumbai-based doctor Aniruddha Narayan Malpani who blamed coaching institutes for driving students to death

SC blames parents for Kota suicides, refuses to rein in coaching centres

Who do think is responsible for stress? Parents or coaching mafia?

The root cause of all this is overpopulation and a shortage of jobs. Coaching centers and tough parenting only exist as a consequence of this

Why India lags behind in AI

We’ll be able to move mountains once we stop obsessing with IITians. They work their asses off to get into IITs to get high paying jobs, it’s as simple as that. Train tier-2,3 college students who have nothing to lose. You’ll achieve 100x more optimal results with 100x less investment.

- 2001: A majority of states had a TFR above the replacement level of 2.1, with several states in the northern and central regions showing significantly higher rates (e.g., Uttar Pradesh at 4.4, Bihar at 4.5).

- 2021: Most states have reduced their TFR to or below the replacement level. Notably, states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, which previously had high TFRs, now show reduced figures (2.4 and 3, respectively). The southern and western states exhibit some of the lowest TFRs, such as Kerala (1.8) and Maharashtra (1.7).

This shift indicates a transition towards stabilization in population growth, which can have significant implications for resource management, economic planning, and social policies in India.

Considering everything while may lead to better quality of life as resource per child will increase but on other hand in next 100 or 200 years, our country might face aging problem. Also, this will lead to change in traditional family structures. We might stop seeing joint family structures. 

What else do you think might be a positive or negative outcome of this?

Interesting comparison: Fertility rates 2001 vs 2021

Joint  Families are way over rated  - prople lead suffocating lives. Also..dont really care what happens 200 years down the line.

I myself am a Software dev with more than ten years of exp. 

I mentored a bunch of folks and was active in lot pf communities. I have been noticing this trend for more than couple of years about how freshers and developers with experience of less than two three years are aggressively looking to switch companies to target 30L or 50L or whatever they are currently looking for. 
But I feel this is really bad for future in terms of career growth. I am not against looking for the best offer, but I feel people recently don’t have any priority for career growth. 

I am trying to understand their perspective. I am not jealous of any of these. Heck I prefer that they get more, so that they have to increase my pay to keep up with current trends. It’s just when people ask me for career guidance I don’t want to sound like a jerk to prioritise good work over good pay. 

Can you guys share your inputs/perspectives?

Are juniors salary expectations even realistic?

Kids these days

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I am sharing a screen shot of a separate conversation on this platform started by a student. I found it be coming from a young fellow who was inspired by these words of wlb and best pay etc. But then there may be a mature (10+yr ex) chap who reverted to him to focus on learning. I was amazed by the confidence of the author of the post in reverting to that fellow while taking a shot at his pseudo name also ( which was quite funny actually).

Generation gap?

My nephew tells me about all these FAANG bhaiyya and didi thing and it makes me really wonder whether it is a good thing for the tech culture in India. 

Like providing content is fine but with every second kid launching a DSA boot camp or Product Topmate link is probably shilling to gullible students.

Any idea?
