Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

please share one or more things you believe you are good at and few people have praised you for that skill. 

It could be anything professional/person, doesn't matter if you are earning money using that skill or not. 

Feel free to share proof if you want to.

What are you good at ?

I can't seem to relate to much of the non-FAANG junta out there. I mean I have a cushy job with probably 0.1% pay of all SWEs(pretty much like all of us do). But these cookie-cutter roles have been taking a mental toll on me. Like I am getting paid but I feel a little purpose-less. What am I gunning for in this life? 

All my life I wanted to go to a good college to get into a good company. In college I wanted to get a good codeforces rank so that I could get into FAANG. Now that I am in FAANG I have nothing to look forward to. 

Any of you all feeling this way? Because I don't see myself offer-shopping and feeling much happy about that either.

Feeling depressed at Amazon(2YOE/41L CTC). Anyone else feeling the same way?

Recently watched Soul on hotstar and this actually makes sense now. The character was trying hard to perform in front of a crowd and  when it happened he wasn't feeling any change at all. At that time, he was told about the fish and the ocean story :-  
  
 I heard this story about a fish. 
  
 He swims up to an older fish and says, “I’m trying to find this thing they call ‘the ocean.'” 
  
 “The ocean? the older fish says, “That’s what you’re in right now.” 
  
 “This?” says the young fish. “This is water. What I want is the ocean!”

something you would be able to use to earn a living without a formal job as well, maybe by starting something of your own

for me it's my ability to seamlessly work with tech, product and business teams

Genuine suggestions would be appreciated

Need for Extra Income

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am 23M working in a well renowned Fintech startup. Have got what I have dreamed of in college like high ownership, good pay and other similar things. But lately realized that I can't do these things for my majority of life. Although I enjoy my work but still feeling lonely and aimless.

Previous to September it was remote but now they have made it hybrid and I have to reallocate to Gurgaon and now I am feeling more lonely and aimless in life.

Have tried travelling and other stuffs inorder to find interest in life but nothing excites me.

What to do in life? Feeling aimless

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hey All, I am writing this to express how I am feeling since last 1 year now. This post will be a bit lengthy but I would be grateful if anyone could help me even a bit. 
I moved into a new company 1year back and due to bad work environment I left. I took a months break and joined a new company now. I have a total 5 years of work experience, my salary is extremely good. ( I don’t worry about this at all for now)

My problem is I don’t know what to do in my life. I guess I have quarter life crisis. 

Earlier I wanted to do music and act , I took professional classes and left because I felt bored idk why. I felt like I need someone to guide me and handhold me since I know no one in this industry. 
Talking about my job I have always moved into roles I loved every bit of work and I m very sincere and hardworking. 
I stopped working out , I stopped cycling, I stopped painting.
I stopped liking everything literally. Idk how to get back at things. I feel I am gonna die anyway why I need to do this , or that or etc etc. I even took counselling but it did not seem yo help me. 

Idk what to do. Please share your experiences too and what I need to do.

Mentally not well!

Market Research

A lot of noise around AI taking coding jobs, which i fear might be real. Like not completely but you get my point. So how should one upskill themselves (especially the average folks, top 1/2% will not be affected in any field imo) for the upcoming shift? Like will data analytics/science or maybe ai/ml engineering jobs be on rise ? Should be start upskilling in those fields or any other suggestions? I would really like to know it from someone who has good experience in the industry or someone with good insight. Thanks

Jobs which will be created /not impacted by AI

Title. I am interested in devops and cloud.I am learning it everyday and I am enjoying it whereas I have tried web dev and DSA and I am not finding it interesting. Any of you who are experienced please guide me.

Should I focus on core software engineering skills such as  DSA ,web dev or app dev or should I focus on devops and cloud as a fresher?

Having worked in IT as a developer and other tech roles, I am having a feeling of how long I am going to do the same and keep grinding myself for someone else’s businesses to grow.

I personally feel from childhood I would enjoy and love to do something of my own but I am so confused and have not much idea on what to start and from where to start.

Feels stuck somewhere and actually I am doing nothing.

Any suggestions?

Wish to start something of my own

We all saw the recent post of FAANG employee earning a lot but not happy. I am sure that must be the case with so many of us. Why do we still talk about money? Speaking for myself, I can say, more money doesn't bring happiness as much as having fun with friends does!

Is there anyone here who has explored lot of things in life and then decided on what they love and want to do? You didn't take the job because it pays you well but because it's fun for you?

What do you want in your life as a North Star Metric? Money or something else? 

Anyone wants to share their take?

I look forward to meaningful relationships and figuring out whats fun for me

Consultant

I have been into programming since I was 15.
I have been working in the IT industry for the past 8 years and have been very successful in my domain because of my will to solve problems at work as interesting puzzles.

But this interest has slowly and gradually formed a huge part of my life to a level that if I am away from it for sometime, it gives me anxiety.

I am afraid this will affect my other parts of life like giving attention to my family, spending ample time with them.

As a process, I started to have no code Saturdays so that I am completely away from my laptop and spend time doing other mundane things. But this has not reduced the anxiety.


Any suggestions for reducing my workaholic nature ?

Turning into a workaholic is ruining my life

I mean what are some of hobbies that you are doing

be it health-wise, sports, trips, other activity ?

something that add an extra layer of intrest in your life, that break monotonous working vibe 

reduce pressure of always being productive 

Hoping for good variety of answers 😅
something that I can adopt

What do you do other than work ?

If you could instantly become an expert in any field, what would it be?

Hey folks 👋
I want to utilize this platform to bring everyone to discuss or share. 
What should one involve his/her more time during 24-28 yr span?🤔
I am more interested in knowing where one should spend more time....

Some obv ones - Finance, Fitness, Current Domain..
Isn't knowing basic finace & investing good if you are giving more attention to your domain & not actively investing yourself but via someone or a broker...

What are your thoughts on different aspects?
some useful links or resources would help, too, if someone is actively doing something😁

Thoughts<>Overall

I've turned 27, roughly 3yoe earning 50k which is low but I'm upskilling. Currently due to layoffs, AI news and just a very unhealthy state of IT things are getting very depressing and I personally feel like I've already lost or missed in life. 
People are planning to get married around me everything is so sudden. 

People of grapevine, what advice would you want to give people like me who feel lost. 
Any general advice such as financial planning, lifestyle changes or just tech advice any advice which has helped you to live peacefully and comfortably would be greatly appreciated.

FOMO in tech

Advice : Please stop with the tutorial and enrolling in courses after course. Doesn't take you anywhere. Been there and done that.  
  
 You will end up with stupid clones which does seem like a value add in your resume. It's just there in everyone's resume.  
  
 Build one project, one solid project, maybe something to do with MFE. Not CRA react app but something with webpack if you prefer. Maybe a ecom app with seperate mfe for order and billing. Show the interaction between them, post on Twitter while you build. Share insights and maybe you will end up being in a recruiter's eye.

Why does my corporate job feel like a jail?

I know it’s a very common question, and impossible to know or answer.
But curious how you folks here rationalize the meaning of life.

Add your age if that’s okay, for good measure

For me: I’m 27, my life’s purpose (or so I think) is to build something that helps a whole lot of people have a better life. And it is to make the people around me - family, friends, strangers happier (the scale of which depends on how successfully I pull this off).

Whats yours? Would love to engage on this :)

Thread: What do you feel is your life’s purpose?

Do you really need one? 
 Existence is a gift, just enjoying it should be enough.
