BTW, the guy who posted the requirement has a people management experience of 5 years.

Software Engineer

Product Designer

It’s a badly written JD and a lot of red flags in it. May be worth applying to understand the role but I wouldn’t go near it

I don’t qualify as I only have 8.5 years of total experience and ~3 yrs. of managerial exp.

I feel it’s a bit of a stretch. It made me feel incompetent and waste of space.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

My current salary is 42LPA. I am from IIT, have 7 years of experience and work in product. Honestly, my value in the market is higher than what I’m being paid but I am very demotivated to optimise for that. When I do see less deserving people minting more money, I feel that I am doing injustice to myself and playing the wrong hand.

More and more though, the thought of earning more money chokes me a bit. I have dreams of building something of my own - that gives me control to build something my way and freedom to live my life as per my terms. But the mindset of “zyada paisa pareshaani hai” doesn’t leave me.

My family also is not dependent on me and whatever is needed from my side, I actively contribute to. I also lack any motivation to focus on my investments and see my money grow. I just have money sitting around in my bank account purely for nothing

I also look at my lifestyle choices from time to time and go into existential debate of why we need the things that we do. This has come to a point where I really do not understand my relationship with money and why we earn and spend it. 

For me at this point, it’s just a show for the world. There’s very little that you need, and really no limit to what you want to show. And I just don’t see a point in it anymore.

I am demotivated to work to earn more money

Hey @Hungryninja  
 Extremely relatable and very beautiful write up 
  
 I get the trouble you face. When you’ve almost figured out what you like and what you don’t like (that money isn’t thaaat needle moving, I have basic needs) but at the same time, the opportunity cost of relaxing is too high - everybody from your batch will remind you of how far you can go, and the middle class boy in you will find it difficult to stomach letting go of all the money, even though you can make it  
  
 Went through this at one point. I have ultimately sided with money. I cannot sit back and relax. Money will only unlock a lot of foreign travel and good lifestyle for me. But more than that, I am lucky to be in a position that allows me to earn money easier than other people do. So I’ll make it, help extended family and people who cannot earn as easily, because at least in a country like India, it’s almost a responsibility. We’re not fucking Europe. 
  
 I’ll just not kill myself for it as much as I used to :)

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

After finishing all the rounds of interviews, I reached out to get the feedback. The reply was "In order to make a decision, we need to interview some more candidates. So it may take some more time". 
Very well said and nothing wrong here. But let me tell you how I feel. 
1. Feeling objectified - I am an option for the company. They want to try more and then make a decision. 
2. They certainly think - okay we got this, but we deserve better. 

Do you think I would really want to join some organisation when they didn't believe in me? Just say you didn't meet our standards. I really don't want to join knowing they hired me because they couldn't find anyone better. Feels disgusting. Makes me feel I am the worst. When did suddenly  a respectable Software Engineering job became prostitution?

HM makes me feel cheap

Iam temporarily posted in an assignment and it's been 5 month since I have joined the field. I was asked to do a particular part of an specific area of assignment. I completed that alone. Later on person who was handling it, didn't take handover from me rather manager reached out to me directly for review of full area. I said I haven't done full area. He started scolding like I have to have full control of the file even if I received it for small work. 

This I felt odd being the point that iam only temporarily assigned to this assignment.

This could have been one of us. Do not ignore what happened. Do not stay silent. Use whatever reach you have. Do not forget this in a week, like we forget everything else. It's us, the honest, hard working people 💔

Usual reminder to get out of this country as soon as you can.

Just moved from a WFH startup to a Full WFO legacy corporate company.

These corpo people talk so much, too much restrictions to get access or to create a MVP, a lot of unnecessary paperwork/ email loops.

I feel sleepy all day and these people find and make you speak hell lot making me confused and feeling that I have done no work and what will I say about deliverables 🥲.


Side note: renovation going on so not getting any corner + the setting are like this getting it is difficult 😭

Any suggestions or I am over reacting 😄

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Sometimes I feel that the work I am doing in the office is worthless. It is providing no value to the client nor does it help me. I am able to answer the technical questions of the client which help in their business decisions and I think that's what keeps me employed. But I still feel I am wasting my time and I really don't know what I should do. Does anyone else face a similar issue or is it only with me? Also have someone come out of this and would like to share their experiences.

• First you are asked to present a plan for next quarter in a week's time
 • You come up with some random things to present
 • You are  told that the the targets (impact) are too low and given an unrealistic target.
 • You present an unrealistic plan for the revised target.
 • You are asked to get the stuff done in even less time and plan for it.
 • Every month you're asked as to why the initiatives are not giving expected impact.
 • At the end of the quarter you are asked (humiliated) why you're not able to deliver on the plan that you yourself made
 • You are asked to present plans for the next quarter next week
 • the cycle just repeats

Product Manager

Hi, i have been working outside India for the last 5 years, so am not sure of what to enter as expected salary for senior leadership roles in design. Any insights would be great!

Product designer salaries

My employer talks to me in a way that I don't feel good. I feel inferior. I also get to learn a lot.
What do you think I should do? 

1. Be in the company and listen to his bitter voice.
2. Leave the company but that can hinder my growth.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

If absolutely all software engineers obsess over business metrics rather than technology it would be net-net great outcome for the ecosystem as well for the individual economically, socially.

I find it childish when a CTO/Architect/Principal engineer obsess over code & infra architecture, low level/high level design, scalability.

Outcome:
---
I want engineers at all seniority levels and all disciplines must only care about biz metrics. Product management should cease to exist. 

Everything tech will fall into place. 

If you were the product manager of the "bangalore", how would you approach this?

One approach i thought -
---
To get into Bangalore tech ecosystem you must need a certification from a institution (For ex: Tech School), absolutely mandatory from this school irrespective of your college background. 

This tech school will allow everyone to enter, online lectures, teach customer empathy, research, industry standard tech, product management, design. Aim is to set correct mindset for growth and first principle thinking. 

This will make college background irrelevant.

What can we do to make software engineers obsess over business metrics rather than tech

Came across this job description for B2B sales.

Does this make sense or am I overthinking this?

Growth Manager

My fiancé’s pay is 3x mine. And I feel guilty for not being able to scale up to a respectable pay or career advancement. This is my capacity - I am slow paced and a late bloomer in everything in my life. I feel like I don’t deserve a fiancé with 3x pay as mine and could find someone better than me as I was questioned by my fiancé about my career trajectory. I keep wondering in what way I can contribute my share once we settle. How will I do 50/50 because it doesn’t seem possible to do that. I will have to cut back on all my wants before things turn sour between us due to this financial imbalance. I don’t want money to get in the way of our relationship. I don’t know if anyone feels this guilty for not being able to contribute financially towards their married life. Or am I overthinking all this in my mind. It takes a hit at my self esteem when I see my friends/family around being able to achieve this financial equilibrium with their spouses. It makes me feel inadequate and not as empowered.

I feel guilty as my fiancé’s pay is 3x mine

When I got married, my partner’s pay was 2X mine. Cut to 8 years later, my pay is now 2.5X more than my partner. I am lucky to have a partner who never questioned me while my pay was lower than hers. So our relationship has been the same then and now.  
 Your pay cannot be the basis on which you decide if you have to be partners or not. If that is causing a rift between the both of you, you should perhaps have a honest conversation with your partner.

Analyst

I work in the Product Analyst for a US based startup. I have not had anything to do for the last one week, while my team that comprises of Dev and Design folks have a lot of work. I feel very useless in the office. My company would be glad to have me contribute to design or development but I don’t have the skillsets for it. 
My question to the ones reading this here, is if I must acquire the design skills(Figma) or development skills(Frontend) and contribute to the product development efforts simultaneously expanding my skillset or acquire product management skills and build my profile well as the natural career progression of my job is in and towards Product management(especially considering that I am a fresher and I don’t have any prior product experience). I wish to stay in the Product field in foreseeable future.
Please help me out with this folks, TIA!

As a UX designer, I struggled with an accounting feature due to lack of knowledge and specs. 

Despite help, the process felt wrong. My boss suggested I might not be suited for this role and should rethink my career choice. How do I respond?

So there are bunch of hirings in every org of which you have no effin idea what they do and why do they exist! Let’s start - UI/UX researcher

UX Researchers help in clarifying whether the Product manager was actually retarded or not in building features that he/she thinks are helpful for the users but in fact was only building it to pump up vanity metrics.
