I am earning lakh rupees a month(excluding my monthly expenses as a single). but  when I think about buying a house (2bhk around 7.5 to 8 hundred sqft) in a city like Pune/ Banglore. I feel I will not be able to afford it considering other expenses (along with 60 k emi). but when I see people with a salary of 50-60k per month buying the same houses. how are these people planning it out? and most of the people earn between 30-60k how you guys are planning it? how should I plan this for myself? and 20 years of repaying the loan. i feel it's a trap.

Hi,

End of last year I was ‘selected’ through campus placements at Accenture. I had recieved a confirmation letter and they got my location preference and documents.

Now it is going to be almost a year but I’m still yet to receive an offer letter.

Yesterday I was scrolling through Instagram reels when I came across another individual sharing a similar story. Many people in the comment section also voiced similar issues. 

Can anyone working at Accenture find out the reason behind this and help solve this issue for me personally?

Lately, I have been thinking very deeply about my college days when the Flipkart story had inspired the entire lot of my batch at IIT-D. We were starry eyed college kids who wanted to do something innovative in India and break away from the "three" most popular moves after IIT:

1. UPSC
2. MBA
3. MS/PhD abroad

I proceeded to then work in various Indian startups and noticed an alarming thing. I began to realise a pattern across all my stints:

The initial founding team does exceptional work innovating, they excel at what Thiel calls "Zero to One", the act of creation. I will concede that although most founders fail to innovate by often copying what worked in the west but the initial founding team usually excels in execution. It allows for initial traction as it breathes a fresh breath in the\ space that they are operating in.

Almost always, when Product Market Fit is "achieved"(whatever that means), the founders begin to deploy insane amounts of funds into growth. 

By definition, Growth is not a bad thing. But, I have been noticing that across all startups I have worked at( all raised funds from the largest global funds) that it comes at the expense of product building. And during this era of hypergrowth, the product starts to stagnate while focus becomes marketing and sales. 

I often felt that this was temporary. That once we reach enough scale, we would start to innovate again. 
But time and time again, the ability to innovate atrophies over time.
Rather than building something that has enduring value by executing faster than anyone, the focus becomes achieving growth at all costs. 

This ultimately leads to two outcomes:
1. The startup cannot sustain this growth and retention begins to look dire. The churn becomes unbearable and the startup goes out of business.

2. The startup gets acquired by someone bigger, allowing founders and investors to believe that they created value where none existed in the first place.

I am completely dejected at this.

I have been online on a lot of sites (shaadi.com, Bharatmatrimony etc) for 2 years now but it’s been really hard to get a guy.

There have not been many expectations, just a decently well educated guy who can talk with respect to ladies (I find it really hard to get guys of the latter, on these sites)

Those who were successful in arranged marriage, how did you do it? Any tips please. Should I pay some matchmakers? Suggestions are welcome.

I doubt your expectation is just a well educated guy. There are hidden parameters u arent sharing. Or when the guy presents itself you are making some reason to not proceed

Thanks to everyone who responded! I am super stressed cz of the situation and counting on the community because i’ve got nowhere else to turn to.

In my post, I mentioned that my relieving letter states the date as "Dec," as verbally communicated by my ex-employer. However, today when I requested the letter from HR, they went back on their words and they indicated it would show October to align with their records for audits which would otherwise create a discrepancy since my final settlement was in October.

Now, my resume states my experience until December, prompting questions during interviews about why I left in December. 
However, for background verification form that i had to urgently submit today, I listed my last working date as October because supporting docs will mention october only and i was out of time & options. 

1. Will this two-month discrepancy on my resume cause significant issues? Are the dates in resume and BGV form matched? If not, whats given more preference?

2. How do I explain the advance payment reflected in my payslip? If the new org comes to label it as severance pay, I lack evidence to prove otherwise, especially since my resignation was verbal.

3. Will my new manager come to know of the disparity between my resume and BGV data?

4. ⁠I need to provide last 3 months payslips and i told new HR I'm seeking payslips for November and December. Now, My ex-employer can't provide them as well since payment was earlier. How do I cover up and offer payslips to HR for Aug-Sep-Oct instead? How do I explain the Oct payslip discrepancy mentioned in point 3?

Thank you again everyone, and i advance. Looking forward to a way out from this mess🙏🏻

High likelihood that google india will see a large layoff this week. It could be as soon as today.

This is the unfortunate week for Google India employees :(

I know 5 people who got reached out by Google recruiters and are currently in the process. Why sudden spike in hiring at Google just after layoff?

Why is Google hiring extensively?

Layoffs started in April which are still continuing. CEO says in all hands that reason for many people leaving Yubi is not because of cost cutting, also says they are going ahead with hikes & bonuses.  On last day of June payout when hikes/bonuses were expected HR announces that hike/bonuses will come in July payout. Diplomatically they just told that some people will get 0 hikes/bonuses. They want project to Go-live in 2 months but can't complete hike/bonus process in 2 months ?

Very high chance that they will give zero hikes/bonus to all employees this year.  HR recently started this shoot out thing where names of good performing employees is called out. What for ? Are they giving any benefits to employees? Vacation leaves are reduced. CEO lies openly.

 They just  seem to be making fool of employees.

Yubi fooling employees ?

For the past two years, I have been working as a software engineer at a service-based company. In this type of organization, employees are often assigned to different projects over time.

Currently, my manager, who also serves as the team lead, has been engaging in excessive micromanagement. They seem to be nitpicking and closely scrutinizing nearly every aspect of my work, which I find to be a very frustrating and stifling experience.

This level of micromanagement has made me feel uncomfortable and hindered my ability to work effectively. I am now considering changing jobs, as I believe this working environment is not conducive to my professional growth and development.

Given the challenges I'm facing with my manager's approach, I am wondering if it would be a good decision to seek employment elsewhere. I am contemplating this move in order to find a work environment that is better aligned with my needs and allows me to thrive as a software engineer.

My manager is overly focused on minor details and nitpicking my work.

At least they are being paid well enough regardless of the WLB

Hope that this is true

Hey guys, 
   Wanted to know your opinions and if someone has walked similar path before. 
   I am in infrastructure engineering domain, want to transition into core backend with full stack. 
   I have roamed around abroad and found really great quality of life -
   1. Food quality is damn good!
   2. Spending power when you travel with that currency to other parts of the world
   3. Disciplined
   4. Power of people, where the rules are same for all. You are just as powerful or weak as a politician in regards to upholding the law. 

I like these concepts and want to explore living abroad, learning cultures, traditions and people. 

I was thinking of getting into a Europe based company(understand the pay would be less but I get to roam EU countries with better work life balance) for my backend role and leave my current job to prepare for it as my entire day is sucked off by this current high paying job and it's not fun anymore

Thoughts?

Tldr -
Not happy with my current life sucking role at startup. Have experienced better life abroad as a tourist. Want to switch to a job abroad and experience customs, traditions, people, culture, languages!

My work doesn't excite me. Thinking of quitting to focus on backend and take up job in Europe

Personal learning. Places that seem great as a tourist may not be epic to actually live in

Any chances that the job market recovers anytime soon? Currently HRs are super-lowballing.
