He is a Senior from college . 
 Believe me he is A class bullshitter, used to hit on young girls full tharki.

Software Engineer

Product Manager

I did neog and it helped me get a job from non tech background.  
 Don't agree with the Messiah types image, just take the good things the man's built and move on.  
 His target audience isn't tech bros , it's folks who want to break into tech.  
 So techbros diss him. His students revere him.

Bhai woh bande ko web development ka alava kuch nahi pata stay away from this scammers

He is doing great at neogcamp. I'm learning from him and loving the community.

the way he was talking about AI as an expert is what bugged me, seems bullshitter

Bro literally went from web development to ai expert

Data Scientist

Well he has a loyal fan following on social media. Anyone tried NeoG or Invact Courses? Or know him as a person?

What do you think about Tanay Bhaiya?

Growth Manager

What do you think about Tanay Bhaiya?- Grapevine

The camp in my opinion is not what it claims to be. People who are doing well in the camp are the ones who took matters in their own hand and started learning on their own.

Pros:

1. Practice sets were given often(There were 27 practice sets of all topics) which helped us form the practice for writing code for hooks without wasting time in thinking about the approach.

2. Community is good. MA’s are very helpful and will guide you in every situation. Taking the time out of their busy schedule. Very thankful to them.

3. Machine coding rounds were conducted. Which helped us speed up the process. 

4. Revision sessions were conducted for people who couldn’t understand the lecture taken by Tanay. These sessions were taken by Akanksha.

Cons:

1. Redux was removed from course even though it is mentioned on the website. They say that redux is not important but it is, companies ideally want their candidates to know redux.

2. Tanay simply skims through a topic, does not go in depth inside any topic. An advice which he ironically gives in his youtube videos. He ignores any advanced questions asked in the session claiming he has not covered yet. Says he will teach later and does not cover that topic later.

3. We were forbidden to discuss anything that isn’t taught yet.Stopping the flow of knowledge. That means you can’t even use the community to discuss something new because they haven’t taught it yet.

4. MA’s(Ex-neoGrads) were discouraged from answering questions about topics that weren’t taught yet. They used to host sessions on hard topics that people didn’t understand in voice chats but were discouraged to do so.

5. Didn’t even cover the dependency array in useEffect hook. He just said you will keep it empty 90% of the time. useMemo and useCallback were not even mentioned. Forget about code optimizations. Honestly, you will learn more in a 30min youtube video than in their class.

Reality of neoG bootcamp

I joined Neog hoping to learn Advanced Full stack but LOL this whole bootcamp is a scam. They are only focussed on earning money. A simple 500rs Udemy course will teach you more than this Channa mereya drama. There has been 0 percent addition in my knowledge after joining NEOG because I already know basics I wanted to learn Advanced things. 
  
 1) No Lectures on memo and callback 
 2) No Redux 
 3) DSA lol (mentioned on the website) 
 4) Backend LMAO ( mentioned on the websit) 
 5) Industry Standard Coding - why is it even mentioned on the website. 
  
  
 I have no problem with Neog Do whatever you want. But please don't lie about your course. Just Mention it on your website that you will only teach basics. I regret that hard-earned money of my parents is wasted.

Frontend Engineer

I’ve muted/ blocked most of the Linkedin/ Twitter influencers. But sometimes in my feed I do get some people putting shorts of Tanay’s content.

I’ve gone through his youtube content, it’s full of cringe to me. I know he has done something good with neog camp, but again nowadays I don’t understand their point.

Learning to code takes some efforts from individual not spoon feeding or making students feel that they can learn anything. These influencers mostly over hype easy concepts and skip the hard sections.

It takes efforts to learn something new, no one can make you learn unless you try to learn on your own.

Is it only me or you also think Tanay Pratap’s content is full of cringe

Why engineers can’t be engineers? 

Such hard selling of courses is really becoming painful on LinkedIn nowadays. Instead of spending time on tech content, these sellers build random stories. Please save yourself from such sellers.

Is Shreyas Srinivasan now more focused on company politics and bickering rather than focusing on product building?

His largely talks about homepage designs only (like that's the only product management he knows), comes and gives gyaan but never had been able to deliver nos (his current KPIs are all red since 2 months), blames on other teams / external factors rather than owning things up like any half decent leader.

And most funny he and his minions (Neehar etc.) create full mess and then they start taking moral high ground / highlighting that how product is messed up once they pass responsibility to some other team.

No wonders Paytm lags so much behind PhonePe and GPay. When product leaders focus more on politics than getting work done, not sure how will key metrics grow.

Paytm Product Head and Politics

this is the kind of grapevine I'm here for 🍿

Investor

Just trying to understand which influencer do you love and why? Could be an artist/entertainer/knowledge influencer on any social media platform.

Which Indian influencer do you like the most?

Generalist

Sure, it's fun to make jokes about his questions and podcast or call it cringe etc. But that's exactly what he wants you to do.

He's basically the Rakhi Sawant of podcasters. Any attention is good attention for him since it's free publicity.

He intentionally asks dumb/weird questions because -

1. Inspired by Joe Rogan who also doesn't hold back from asking seemingly obvious questions

2. Many people do have them in their mind as well, just too afraid to ask

3. Even memes and ridicule make him a well known brand and personality outside of his target audience

He's definitely super smart, trying to act dumber than he is because it lets him get away with stuff. It was obvious enough when he came to Nikhil Kamath's podcast.

Plus the diverse categories he's exploring, along with the level of folks he now has access to is pretty impressive all things considered.

I used to dismiss him mostly, but I've come to realise he's going to be a force to reckon with in the years to come. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in politics either.

He seems like a straightforward guy. What do you guys say?

What are your views on Ravi Handa?

Fintech influencer seems to have faked his entire educational background. Instead of IIIT he studied at ITI. Anyone have more tea on him?

Marketing Manager

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Saw some misguided student post about PM internships. This is for anyone considering a PM internship.

DONT.

A fresher should not be going into Product Management. Focus on building hard skills first. You need an edge/alpha in your career strategy while reducing risk.

Atleast work for 1 year in the industry in a hard skill role. Then, think about transitioning.

This does two things.

1. You have a core differentiator compared to other candidates: Engg/ Design/ Sales/ Data Science/ Analytics.

Having a PM internship is not a good enough differentiator. No company would hire a Product Management intern over someone with hard skills in another domain. 

Product is different. In SDE, it makes sense to have multiple internships as it gives confidence to the recruiter that you’ll be able to do your job.

In PM, no recruiter worth their salt will consider a PM internship contributing to you being a successful PM. Your internship doesn’t contribute anything meaningful to its ability to communicate your skill.

2. You realise if you’re getting into a field because it’s a fad or you’re genuinely interested in it.

I’ve seen many such freshers switch into product and get into suboptimal orgs. Don’t. Do your career a favour and work on your hard skills. That alone will contribute a lot more to your Product Skills than some poor internship.

As a GPM at Gojek, I will never hire anyone who has done a PM internship unless they have a solid track record in a hard skill based role.

You can only be a good “enabler“ if you can empathise with a “builder”. 

Can you be a PM out of college, YES? Should you? NO.

You’ll realise this later in your career. First gain experiences building/enabling real products, you’ll thank yourself for that when it helps you build better Products. 

Also, stop listening to these charlatans who masquerade as Product Gurus. They are out to make a quick buck. Don’t do these Product Courses. It’s all a farce. First, get some experience and then you’ll know

Why you shouldn’t do PM internships?

Hey folks! One thing I'm sure about is that this platform has the most intelligent, experienced, and intellectual self-made individuals. I also know that most of us like to communicate sarcastically or indirectly, which might be hard for a normal person to understand at first. This is why I believe each of us has a story behind our usernames. 
Sometimes, I find myself laughing at a username more than their jokes. Some of the usernames that always make me wonder are: FunnyBones, Potatomato, salt, UnpaidIntern, rantmastergogo, kabootar_jaa, IceTruckKiller, FuzzyRuin, BiryaniEnthu, ChinChinChu, EagerFetus, bullymcquire, bottleofgin, GossipAunty, JadeArgent, peepeepoopoo, barbaadeshwar, Nagraj, Damaru, Amulbutter, weekendemployee, AliveYouth, AlphaGrindset, TheOatmeal, and many more.

The community would love to know the stories behind everyone's usernames here.

I'll go first.. 
I am a die-hard fan of geopolitics, and before Trump, everything was going smoothly and boring around the globe. But then this legend came and brought endless entertainment, whether it was a roast-show with US singers, his accent, speeches, or Covid management. What an interesting time it was! Despite his political blunders, I'm a huge fan of his entertainment. 😀 
I hope you all have seen his recent mugshot on Twitter. 😆

Sorry Tanay bhaiyya 😭😭

Corporate Strategist

Thanks to year end holidays, after reading recent news and wasting time on reels - I felt, Ankur warikoo is the English medium version of Vivek Bindra, reasoning here is -

1. Same rags to riches story (overwhelming)
2. Sudden rise with no backstory
3. Course selling by dubious promises
4. Immature, vulnerable target audience
5. Over advertisements 

Any other insights?
