Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

As someone who is in very early stages of his/her career( 2-3 years), what should one give preference to work from office or work from home?

WFO vs WFH

Software Engineer

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Hi guys, new to Grapevine and I have seen this as a common point here, on Reddit & Twitter than Indian software engineers actively hate in-office work on social media

Trying to understand why is that so. All of my college mates have joined in-office & most preferred that as well. I myself had a terrible learning experience in my remote intern & have had much more success in our startup when we are all together

I understand the pros of remote work, but why is the negative sentiment so strong suddenly? Is this a niche group echoing this

Why is work from office so hated?

heard from a TCS employee...👀

their company is holding the variable pay for not working from office

he mentioned that the 'travel expense to office is way more than variable pay - so, let them deduct...'😅

I normally use mouse ziggler and take sweet nap in afternoon whenever WFH. 😌 
Anyone else has some mindbowling tricks for such slacks ?!

Afternoon sleep in WFH

Eat lunch during work hours then put 1 hr lunch and doze away 😂

Now why everyone is talking about benefits of working from office?
I saw post from Sunil Shetty on linkedin.

My take is, when pandemic hit companies asked employees to WFH to keep wheel rolling.
Now we know WFH can give greater control over personal and professional life(at least for me) we don’t want to go back to office.

In my opinion corporate want us to work from office cause,

- they can control our time, 9hrs in ofc, you are getting paid for time not skills.
- they want to show who is the boss here.
- Learning is key reason for WFO, bullshit, we have a lot of learning portals and traffic time can be used to learn but it is never a intention.

What you guys think?

WFH vs WFO

WFO- if you’re at entry level/early days of your career 
 WFH- works for mid- senior folks

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I have got 2 offers, one for Hyderabad location (14.5, all fixed, as they have shared space office as of now, so initially it would be WFH & once they get a proper office after some months, 2-3days WFO hybrid), & one for Pune location (16 fixed, plus some variable and other benefits, hybrid from Starting, 2days WFO)

Is it worth to do WFO from starting for more money or settle for less now & go to office after some months? Are there any real pros of WFO? I haven't done WFO in my 3 year IT

career

Which offer to choose?

I know this is not what majority of people like to listen, but for people coming from other cities with no friends and poor social skills, working remote or hybrid starts taking a toll on your mental health. 

The isolation it brings is so overwhelming. You feel trapped and frustrated, when there's no one to talk to.

Sometimes, I feel the quality of life of our kind of lower than street vendors at least they have people they can talk to. I just hate the way we are wired to be social animals yet find it overly difficult to connect with people.

Unpopular Opinion: I prefer Work from Office

If you are early stage of your career if you don't have responsibility at home you should come to office it's a healthy approach but for people like me who has already spend more than a decade in office life and has a small child at home working for home is like a saviour for me and my wife

Folks ,Please correct me if i am wrong favouring Work from home , instead of WFO, as quite many are in strong favor of WFO and their narrative is office bring collaborative, conducive/ fostering environment to professional growth as we are in constant engagement with our peers , attending seminars , bootcamps , events , games or any volunteer activities .Overall this transform our cognitive ability towards higher versioning of ourself ...

What are you favouring for WFH or WFO ?

How many leet code problems have you solved (comment down )
Ps I'm just a beginner

How many leet code problems

I know a lot of people love working from home. But small rant here. 
Honestly, straight out of college I thought I would do too. But no, I absolutely do not.

Why? 
1. No personality development. It's honestly like an online college all over again (1/2 of my college "life" was online). I talk to a screen, waste a lot of time otherwise. 

2. I don't have a room to call my own. I know this is going to make me sound like a privileged brat but I need my privacy to feel my full confident self. My family members are always on top of my head and spy on me during work. No they really do.

3. I hate, absolutely LOATHE approaching people on teams. I'm more social, confident and comfortable working in an offline setting be it presenting something or talking to senior folks in general. 

4. I have NO life outside of the computer/home. My hobbies, interests everything are inside the tiny room I share with my parents. I still have 2 different desks (which are literally next to each other) for work and personal stuff respectively. When I had offline semesters, it was really awesome as I had balance.

I graduated in 2023 and of course I have a lot to learn, but I'm seriously thinking about searching for another job that's not WFH. I'm still early career and I think I should not be working remote. Am I stupid?

I cannot work remotely.

Work from home is hellish for extroverts. There is no alternative. I've tried co-working spaces. But nothing beats the actual office experience. 
  
 If you're young, go to office and build your network.

Pune vs Hyd, Which offer to choose

I am a fresher, and from non technical background. I am getting a internship, they are offering me remote with stipend but I am insisting with wfo, the stipend is 25K. But I badly want to move to bangalore, just so I can learn more and make connections. But seeing all posts of high cost of living. I’m now confused.

Badly want to move Bangalore

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I travel for 2:30 hours from home to ofc and again 2:30 hours back home, so 5 hours travel and only visit ofc for attendance purpose so I sit in ofc only for two hours.
Is it really worth visiting ofc ?
