Early morning. 
 Office is quite empty at 8 o clock in the morning. Since crowd drains me, empty chairs and that silence brings peace in the morning. Best part to sit back and plan the day.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

So I am working at a startup for around a year now. Everyday I see, it feels, what am I really doing? Where is the life headed? 
    Doing bare minimum or doing your tasks and fucking off isn't enough. It's expected that we outgrow constantly, as if it's this work that we can always think about and nothing else. At the end, am wondering if it's still worth it?
    1 day it feels that let's just quit it! Next day I feel, okay, I do want the money. 

I ain't looking for suggestions here, just wanted to see if anyone else felt this way

Been there, but money is very important especially for a middle class family, for most of us we are earning 5x more than our parents at least and have huge expectations from families to provide them with good life

For me 5 - I start by 11 and end by 7 but take an hour lunch break, 4-5 tea/coffee breaks and some gossips - I tracked one day and it was 5.2 hrs.


What about you?

How many hours do you actually work per day?

I have adhd so I don't (read : can't) work until 2 days before sprint is about to get over then wrap the stuff up with anywhere between 8-10 hours pn both days.

My LWD is approaching. I don’t think anyone would ask me to work even on my last day. I have given KT and handoffs already.

What do you do on your last working day?

How do you folks manage to give interviews while working in office 5 days a week?

I am thinking to put papers I am currently having 6.5 years of experience and recently I got a offer in a product based company but this is very small US based firm which is having office only in hyderabad in india.

My peers are saying If I put papers now and after notice period I will be released in November and it is a dry season for hiring. Any suggestions which is best month to switch because I want to get offer in MNC since I am having a bad experience with small firms they loaded me with work . I am in a complete dilemma.

Any suggestions will be helpful?

After lunch or before?

P.S. we have 1 hr lunch break scheduled in work day. So I consider second half AFTER lunch.
My boss wants second half before lunch, because who eats for 1hr 😶‍🌫️

How many days are you Working from office

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I see a lot of posts about WLB, I want to know what do you consider as a decent WLB. I will go first.

1. Leave early if the work for that day is done
2. No pings and calls post work hours, there are always exceptions and thats okay, should not become a norm
3. Respecting when someone is in vacation and not disturbing them.
4. Not rejecting leaves 

I will add more in comments If more comes to my mind.

Work Life Balance

Rule of thumb  
 If you get work thoughts outside 9-6 or weekends, it's not WLB.

Hey, everyone I'm a recent MBA grad (fresher with no experience) , i got placed in an IT service company for the first two months , i was nurtured to being a project manager but honestly that role didn't suit me , i come from a non tech background and the initial shift was 2 p.m -11 p.m.

But one week back my department was changed and now I'm in a corporate strategy role seeing the finance side of the project doing FP&A. I was happy that my role was changed but my shift is from 6 p.m to 3 a.m now and now I'm scared that this shift will ruin my mental health and cause other issues. But I really need the work experience, currently the market is pretty bad and with no work ex, It's impossible to switch. So my fellow 🍇viners help me out and give me tips on how to manage the night shift without ruining my mental health.

I heard that the work culture at Deloitte is bad that people work for 15 hours a day? What's happening at Deloitte?

Am I the only one who likes working from office (Bengaluru)? I go to office every day, and it helps me to be more productive.

- There will be no distractions
- Team mates will be around, and if there is any queries, I can straight away ask them rather than typing a message or setting up a call
- Occasional chit chats
- Having lunch together
- being a part of all the conversations happening
- Managers works from office - a good rapport with him as well

- Free food
- Free Transport (can mates - another plus point)
- Good work set-up

- Meet new people almost every day
- Build/deepen real connections every day
- Interact with folks starting from entey level to senior directors or VPs regularly (L1 - L9 is the range mentioned here)


FYI: I moved to Bengaluru for work, although I've the option to work completely remote. 

One of my team member even mentioned that he has not yet been able to connect with the team member who has joined before me, like how he could connect with me.

I understand that once people have family, it will be difficult to manage everything. One of my team mate actually mentioned that, he used to do/manage everything properly before Covid, but it's kind of not easy/lazy since Covid.

I also realise that not everyone has the above perks, but still. 

Commute can be an issue. I travel 50+ KMs every day to and fro. I start by 7 am in the morning to morning traffic, and take around 75 minutes in the evening (I can survive the traffic without having to use my mobile 😂)

I do miss my family frequently, but I do have the flexibility to go home and stay a few days when I want. Staying alone in a service apartment is the only disadvantage as of now.

Working from Office

Too much negativity everywhere. I just want to find ppl who genuinely like what they are doing. If you are one, what do you do and what makes you happy?

is there someone who actually...LOVES their job?

Am too old to love my job. Relaized am just  a cog in the wheel. I work for money. When i hear the mgmt team talk nonsense about purpose and adding value, i happily smile to his face and laugh in my mind.  
 Am here for the money.  The company can fuck itself.

Account Manager

How many of you actually only work 9-5? Do you get paid for overtime? Is Indian corporate culture disconnected from the 40-hour workweek belief?

Is 9-5 a myth in India?

Total disconnect... most of us do not work 40Hrs a week -every week.. sometimes its 60hrs some times its 20.. but the main requirement is we need to pretend to be busy. That's what's defines a hard worker in our country. 
productivity and efficiency gayi baad mein.... if you  finish your current work, you  need to find the next. or you can continue the current work for as long as possible.

Hey, what is the benefit(s) that you love at your company? Something that you would like to see in all other companies that you work for.

Tell me about the benefit you love at your company

I travel for 2:30 hours from home to ofc and again 2:30 hours back home, so 5 hours travel and only visit ofc for attendance purpose so I sit in ofc only for two hours.
Is it really worth visiting ofc ?
