Let me help you out champ! So, basically the large companies or corporations that are basically focused on generating revenue and profits are called corporates, and a job in a corporate company is a corporate job. It can be in any field like management, HR, finance, legal, sales, marketing, anything. If people are suggesting you to get a corporate job, you still need to make a choice in which functional area you want to work. And get a degree accordingly.

I am a student, and many people have suggested that a corporate job is a great career option. Can anyone explain what exactly a corporate job means? What does one need to do in a corporate job? Please explain in a very simple language because I do not get the professional lingo.

What is a corporate job?- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I graduated in May 2023 and joined a US-based remote startup as an SDE in September 2023. They don't have a physical office in India, so they hired me via Deel (https://www.deel.com/) as an independent contractor.

In the future, if I plan to make a switch, will I face any problems as all the documents state that I'm a contractor and not a full-time employee?

The full-time employees of the company also work remotely, so the experience I get is pretty much the same.

To add some more context, I participated in Google Summer of Code 2023 and received the offer to work full-time later. So it is an open source organization, and all the pull requests I make are publicly available on my GitHub profile, but I highly doubt that the HR team will consider that.

I really love working here, but if it'll create some difficulty in the future, then I might have to reconsider.

Help and suggestions would be really helpful.

I just don’t get the meaning of it. You work, you get paid. You love your work, your pay should make you happy. You can be a corporate bull or a slave by choice. 

So I don’t get it when people blame the corporate system. If you’ve got the mass in you, no one can enslave you!

Corporate strategy role advice

Anyone here who likes to login and start working daily? I am a workaholic person but I am exhausted as work doesn’t excite me anymore. I’d rather read, learn random stuff than do my job!

Like your job?

I’m a software developer with 2 years of experience earning 1.6L per month. Should I invest 2-3 years in UPSC preparation for a fresh IAS position or advance to an SDE 3 role in the corporate sector? 
    Considering the potential for better income, less pressure, and job mobility in corporate roles versus job security, pride, and potential moral conflicts in government roles,.Now I’ve had experience in corporate settings but don’t know anything about the first-class government job to compare with. 
    Almost everyone might have faced this dilemma while working in the corporate world. Please help me understand the views that I might be missing.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Maybe it’s just a bad month for me but I am genuinely considering whether I want to continue working in Startup’s after 4 years of chaos.(Mostly Product Management)

Has anyone here made the transition to a corporate role? How was it better/worse? 🤕

Startup to Corporate?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Rant alert: 

Have you felt the same way? How many years of work ex after which you started feeling this way? 

Stability and money I’m grateful for. But I hate the constant comparison and competitiveness among peers/colleagues. Makes me want to quit and do a Teach for India fellowship. A little corporate detox. 

Wish I had become an athlete instead. I know it’s not an easy life, but It’s the kind of competitiveness I’m inclined towards. Not inclined towards the kind where you compete with people to please a company that will never care for you as a human. But people fail to recognise that, lose perspective, and lose themselves too. People have no class in this shitty world. If I have kids, they’re definitely becoming athletes and not entering this hellhole. 

Most ironically, I’m borderline considering an MBA to escape the corporate life for 2 years, but obviously I’m aware I will only get entrenched further in it due to the degree.

Corporate is not for me

Oh man. Just hoping for the day i can quit it all. Right now on the blue pill, but ek din ayega. I'm convinced only sociopaths and people with no personalities can enjoy being in this rut. Lavda build something - it's just about keeping the hamster wheel rolling.

Brand Marketing Manager

Hi all, I'm (kind of) fresher into the corporate workforce, ~2yrs of work exp.

What are some corporate etiquettes that a person like me should learn and/or be aware of??

It could anything but not limited to... from way of saying things to the things to be said to how to behave or how to work around/handle the power dynamics.

Corporate etiquettes

Can somebody get me into a corporate career it's truly needed for me.

I am going to make a jargon dictionary, please give your suggestions

Corporate is more about jargons☹️

"per my last email" → "In case you can't read" 
 "To reiterate" → "for the last fucking time" 
 "moving forward" → "Don't try me again, bitch!" 
 "I've CC’d" → "Let's see you lie your way out of this, bitch" 
 "Kind regards"→ “Fuck you" 
 “Warm regards” → “Fuck you”, but warmer

Excuse me for being all philosophical and emo but surely this isn’t what life is all about! Waiting for weekends, sleep deprived weekdays, questioning “what am I doing” every second week? Like what are we even solving for? The governments and corporates control it all while we work like puppets. 

Does having something of your own (a business for the lack of a better example) make things better? 

Thoughts?
