Wake up Babe, facebook released their own version control

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?

> Get into FAANG > Open a YT channel and talk how you got in > Make you feel worthless and you don’t know anything at all. > Quit FAANG > Sell Courses ( Discount in the name of charity ) > Beg to buy the 999/- ultimate course > Die

I don't know if I'm right or not but I feel that software engineering in India is becoming more of "How to get into FAANG" rather than actually learning skills. Whenever I open LinkedIn all I see is "What I did to get into FAANG" "My life in FAANG" "But this course to get into FAANG" And the most fucked up scene is people are quitting there jobs at FAANG to create content to get into FAANG. I'm so sick of it now. Whom is to blame here?

Let me spill the tea on what's buzzing over at Grapevine in last 24 hours. You're in for a treat with these top posts, so let's dive in ASAP: 1. ServiceNow Interview Disaster - https://share.gvine.app/yPfdLxoKeMojQ6tF6 Honey, let me spill the tea. This candidate's experience with a ServiceNow interview is messier than my auntie's spice drawer. A fresher interviewing a senior? That's like a toddler teaching a chef how to cook biryani. ServiceNow, sweetie, it's time to get your act together before you become the joke of the IT industry. 2. Poker Math for the Geeks - https://share.gvine.app/puCYn1PLfHPspDKh9 Oh, lordy, poker and math combined? This is giving very much "I peaked in high school math club" vibes. I mean, if you enjoy calculating more than actually playing the game, maybe it's time to reconsider your hobbies. But who am I to judge? Maybe that's your idea of a wild Friday night. 3. A Call for Startup Ideas - https://share.gvine.app/vckFRV2ukci1RNtq7 Babe, resigning without a plan is like going to a wedding and hoping you'll catch the bouquet – optimistic but unrealistic. But I admire the hustle; shooting your shot on Grapevine for startup ideas is like Tinder for entrepreneurs. Just don't be surprised if you end up with a partner who thinks reinventing the chai is revolutionary. 4. Delhi Travel Precautions - https://share.gvine.app/MpSzohMM64wn3F1HA This is giving very much "my mom's WhatsApp forward" energy. But in all fairness, safety in Delhi is like finding a good samosa in Bangalore – nearly impossible. While I appreciate the caution, let's not normalize sending a full dossier every time we step out. Maybe just stick to the basics, or better yet, let's make our cities safer, shall we? 5. Sugarcane Juice > Alcohol Parties - https://share.gvine.app/9mtKHW8kBqt6Mpg5A Finally, someone said it! Why are we glorifying alcohol when we can party healthily? I'm all for replacing beer with sugarcane juice, but let's not pretend like we'll stick to this plan once "Gallan Goodiyaan" starts playing. Still, cheers to the idea – it's sweet, both literally and figuratively. 6. Rahul Gandhi's Employment Plan - https://share.gvine.app/c5JbZA9j3JFckzAG8 Oh, Rahul, always the dreamer with plans as realistic as my chances of marrying Ranveer Singh. Promising money for watching reels? That's not a job strategy; that's called being a Gen Z with too much time. How about focusing on real employment solutions, or is that too mainstream? 7. Max Salary for 20-Year IT Experience - https://share.gvine.app/7mEb8DnZB3LNYn9N6 Asking for the max salary in IT is like asking how spicy is too spicy – it's subjective, darling. But let's be real, the IT market is more unpredictable than my mood on a diet. So, aim high but maybe don't start planning your mansion just yet. 8. Arrogant IITs Not Getting Jobs - https://share.gvine.app/xBHQYM5AxDxE6JHS Saying IIT grads are arrogant is like saying water is wet – we've all met that one guy who won't shut up about JEE ranks. But let's not generalize; not all IITians are boastful, and not all non-IITians are humble. It's about skill, not the label on your degree. 9. The Beauty of Tech Projects - https://share.gvine.app/62rBG77cHN9xF1r38 This is the tech equivalent of finding your tribe. Working with a dream team on projects you love is rarer than a peaceful family WhatsApp group. It's beautiful, it's pure, and it's about as common as understanding your privacy settings on the first try. 10. The Indian FAANG Roadmap - https://share.gvine.app/5gBHzBjHrBDGoR7v8 Oh, the classic FAANG cycle – from aspirational YouTuber to disillusioned course creator. It's like the startup version of a Bollywood movie: predictable, dramatic, and with an inevitable downfall. But hey, if you can't join 'em, teach 'em (for a small fee, of course).' Oh, the drama on Grapevine never fails to entertain. Whether it’s the hilariously out-of-touch interview processes, the nerdfest of math-heavy poker strategies, or ambitious claims in politics and business, Grapevine serves it up fresh and hot daily. It’s the perfect blend of reality check and escapism. Always insightful, often hilarious, and occasionally face-palm worthy – keep the posts coming! What’s next, Grapevine? We're all ears!

What are the salaries offered by FAANG companies (broad range) to Indian MBA grads with 15 yrs of work experience (strategy/management consulting work ex)?

Google has today announced layoff in India as part of their global layoffs

Indian SDEs on LinkedIn & Twitter are some of the worst engineers you will ever find across the real world. Their typical value lies around: - Cracking a FAANG/MAANG or Product company. - Make an announcement on LinkedIn & Twitter and accumulating followers. - Starting YouTube channel, Topmate links, affiliate marketing channels, and more. - Rant DSA, System Design, Interview resources all day long. - Post daily of their office, their colleagues, candid shots, and barely getting any work done. While this is expected out of early career professionals, it pains to see senior SDEs doing the same shit over and over again. Things don't end here — Everyone talks about creating a revolution. And the revolution is teaching DSA. If you are an experienced SDE and still ranting DSA, it just means that you have barely learnt anything that is of worth any value. You are atmost a "Ticket Engineer". You get assigned a Jira ticket, you bust your ass solving it, and that's it. That's your entire value. Its high time that these "Bhaiya", "Didis", "Bhabhis" stop ranting DSA and System Design over and over, and build something of real value. You would barely see any credible open-source projects coming out of India (but hey, we have some many contributors!), barely any Indie dev project, or anything that captures the attention of the world. Literally every popular SDE you might follow or see over your social media is the same. Their entire community game is a farce and designed to capture gullible college students and shill thousands of rupees out of them. You might be featured on Times Square ($40 ka showoff), but no one would remember you for anything that you built. <Rant Over. Peace>

What are the perks , how's job experience ?
