Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

So I interviewed for a SaaS company serving US clients. I got selected after three rounds (basic email chat, built a project, technical coding round at last) and got selected. 

Finally, it was time to discuss salary and joining date with the CEO. He was impressed by the about section on my portfolio, where I mentioned that I like to go on treks, hikes, read books, lift weights, go on a run, etc. During our call he mentioned that everyone at the startup works 6-7days a week, 12hrs a day and asked if I'd be fine with it as I have a "happening life".

I said that I'm not used to it but I'll manage and work in appropriate working hours. He seemed to agree on it.

But he ghosted me after that, and when I pinged him in the email thread; he said he's not moving ahead with me because my other properties won't allow me to "work as much as other employees".

How am I supposed to react to this lol

I didn't get selected because... I have a happening life?

Glad, that CEO let you live for a better opportunity

The power of compounding really works! 
Started with a meagre salary of 4L/annum in 2018. But made sure to SIP 5K every month in Mutual Funds, and kept on increasing with career progression. This could’ve been more but I wasn’t able to regularly SIP during the two years of my masters I did after my first job. 

This may not be as much as the other tech dude bros out here sitting in CRs but this is a big milestone for me and all I’d like to say is SIP really does work and it’s all about being in the long run. Onwards and upwards only now 💪🏼💪🏼

I grew up in a family which used to be just above poverty line. My mom had worked a lot to provide making 7K a month. I now have a job that pays 15lpa. Other than good food on table I'm not sure what i should do with the money. I save everything left after removing house expenses Which is 75% of my income. I know saving is good but i don't want endup saving a huge pile and dying without using any of it.i want to exprfi6good things. How did you guys spend when you tried to raise from almost poor to a decent standard of living

Not sure how to spend the money that i make

Similar background, always dreamt of a decent gaming pc or console. 
 First thing i did after setting up sip was buying ps4. 
  
 Travel, travelling is expensive but the experiences you have a worth it. 
  
 Spend on parents, buy em phones, clothes or sponsor there religious trips. 
  
 Charity, dont forget your roots. 
  
 Definitely dont become a horder, but dont go ballistic as well. 
  
 Also well done for beating the system.  
 Cheers

Got an offer from one of the top 5 FMCG brands with way better pay. I learned a very important lesson of being patient. I was about to resign that day but you guys talked some sense into me to not quit without offer. Happily put in my papers today

Thanks GV community for talking some sense into me

More people should take lessons from this. Random people can sometimes hype you up about quitting, it's how it happens in movies.

Sometimes being sane and patient is all it takes. Marathon, not a sprint.

First time seeing this coordination of employees in any big company in India. Corporate slaves are realizing that they need to come together for their rights.

Well done!

Hey guys, i am going to be a manager for the first time in a company that i have been working at for 3 years and I have people joining me from monday.. any tips for being a good manager?

Going to be a manager for the first time

- Just be receptive to their thoughts, understand their povs. 
  
 - Help them understand their role and your expectations from them clearly. 
  
 - Direct manager plays a huge role in someone’s POV about the organisation, set some biweekly or monthly one on ones to understand/tackle problems they are facing. use the same meeting to communicate your expectations from them. 
  
 - One thing that is often neglected is, making sure your team members have a visibility outside your team as well. Promote a culture where in your manager also knows about your subordinates and what they are good at.  
  
 - Provide them your support towards their career goals. 
  
 - Finding a good balance between becoming too strict (getting work done) vs too supportive ( some lemons take advantage of this). 
  
 If you end up doing half of the above they will remember you throughout their career. I was fortunate enough to have two manager in my career like that. Both of them I still reach out for career guidance.

Less than 50 days left to end 2023, What did you achieve this year?

1. Still alive! 
 2. Didn't get laid off! 
  
 Win Win. Little things matter people!

Founder

So We've done it! Few Days of Hardwork and we've caught up with the Backlogs! 

Felt happy that I'm able to achieve this! 

Now lets #EnjoyWeekends

Good Day again at the Office

Associate

"It's that time of the year again—counting accomplishments. I came across a Twitter trend about such posts, and it's heartening to read about people achieving so much, including celebrating those seemingly small victories. As the year ends, I acknowledge those who may not have such so-called accomplishments; I hear you. This year felt monotonous for me, with neither highs nor lows, but looking back, I'm content. The year is over, and I'm optimistic about doing better and executing my plans in the coming year.

Life is good, even when it feels stagnant. Don't be disheartened; it gets better. I've had some of my worst years, but they were followed by great ones. This especially goes out to young individuals entering the workforce—your favorite company or desired CTC might be just around the corner. Keep at it.

Survival is the biggest achievement.

Accomplishment of the year

Finally we did it. 🏆

Engineering Manager

I know it's not a big amount, but felt like announcing this. Here's my nw breakdown-

FD/Emergency fund: 5L
MF/stocks: 1L
Sitting around: 4L (can't get myself to invest it, the market seems very overvalued. Will try to invest this in small chunks over a duration)

Next target is 50L, it'll take much longer than this 😭

Well done 👏
