Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hello all,
I'm a software engineer at one of the service based companies and I graduated last yr.

 Though I always knew software engineering isn't for me, I still gave it a try hoping my perspective would change when I enter the industry. Bummer! I hate it even more

What I have realised is I don't like to code or spend all day finding a solution to an error. Not to say I don't like problem solving but I simply don't like the problem solving that is required for a great software engineer.

I have been a content writer in the past and enjoyed it. I also helped a small digital marketing agency launch a campaign for a product. I thoroughly enjoyed the process of coming up with ideas that suit the tone of the brand, writing copies and much more.

I'm thinking of switching to a marketing role or anything that aligns with what I have mentioned above.  

My question to you are:

1) Is it even possible to switch without an MBA?
2) If so, What should be my approach to applying to jobs? (Kindly tell me the specific and not just -' Make a stellar resume and apply ' kind of a vague answer)
3) What other roles can I look into?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I'm interested in getting freelance gigs in generalist roles.

What can make or do to add to my proof of work portfolio?

I have tried blog writing on business and management topics, but they aren't getting me anything 

Background: 6YOE with MBA, business roles across large Companies and startups. India based

Generalist Proof of Work

To me? "Congratulations! We are giving you a one-time cash bonus of 1L." This was for a deliverable I ideated and executed end to end.

Unfortunately, it was recognition too late because I was already planning to resign, which I did in the next week. 😂🤡

[Thread] What is the best thing your manager ever told you?

I joined a company after getting some bad performance comments from prev company. In my older the reason behind poor outcome was - manager. During my exit, he confessed the same that he wasn’t able to put required time/efforts. Most probably he was one who threw me in front of the bus.  
  
 Joining a new company with that baggage scares the shit out of anyone. I worked hard and delivered something big in first 6 months. The comment from VP levels was - “This is such a turnaround (of a prev lagging product)”. The mail was cascaded to CXOs and org re-initiated focus on the product.  
  
 That day, I gained my lost confidence and decided not to let anyone else control my career.

[Thread] What is your favourite thing about yourself?

doesn't matter how much it is, just share how are you earning it, anything which is not your main/daily job.

also feel free to share if that side hustle has potential to make money in the future if not now.

[side hustle] what's your side/extra income source ?

Left previous job due to severe toxicity in the entire co. Only 2 senior level people would boss around the entire co. and then put the blame on junior roles if things didn't move as expected. 

Been on the lookout for a new role for almost 2 months now but to no avail. I'm exhausted. Don't know how to go about it. Lost all motivation.

But I know for a fact I'm fucking great at what I do. 

In case you're aware of companies that are hiring for a PM role, please share.

I see jobs being there, but even the entry level jobs are requiring experience. I saw a associate level job posting on linkedin for a startup asking for 4-6 years experience. This is in line with the recent article at The KEN.

Are people really ready to work for low salary for high skills? 
What does this mean for the freshers, job switchers/career switchers? Are we all doomed for now?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Whenever I receive a recruiter call, the first question they ask is why did you leave your previous job.
How do I answer this effectively.
I'm pretty new to the IT industry and would like to know about how to handle these kinds of questions.

How do I answer "Why did you leave your previous job" effectively?

I guess a rant as well as seeking advice. I started my first company at the age of 22 right out of college. It was semi successful. Scaled it to a few crore in revenue but because of some issues had to close it down. Worked on a few products again which again did alright but not enough to giving me savings. This experience ranged from software to e-commerce. Building different products. I’m now 31, and started a biotech company about a year back. However stuff has been slow. I’ve barely any savings and funding in my space is scare. So it’s been small government grants. I’ve realised that if this doesn’t take off, after 10 years of struggle I probably need to look for a job atleast for a few years. (Won’t ever give up on starting up. I’m a fighter that way.)

My resume is eclectic. I’ve done all sorts of stuff with mediocre success. But don’t have a defined skillset. (Like being a programmer for example).  I guess one skillset I can say I have is identify and opportunity. Also I have tremendous stress tolerance and ability to work. 

What should I do? Should I eventually look for a job? If yes, honestly I don’t even know what job profile I’ll go for. Because I’ve never done a job ever. 

I’m confused. I’m not married and don’t plan to. For me me, running a company is everything and I’m willing to sacrifice everything else for it. (Includes not being married so that I don’t have pressure to maintain the lifestyle married life entails.)

Sorry for the long post. 

Also great respect to you guys who’ve made it :) and also to the once struggling. It’s us who keep the economy ticking at great personal cost of health and finance. Fighters.
