What are the unique problems that you faced working as a PM in a startup at various stages vs the ones in corporate?

Problems faced by a PM in a startup

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have seen lots of people joining startup for 2 main reasons - Pay & learning. I am fine with people joining just for pay (depends on person), but little skeptical with the "learning" aspect. Having 10 years of experience, I have worked for both Startup & Stable companies.
Currently we see hardly any startup being actually profitable/sustainable. So the tech solutions applied mostly deal with the short-term profit and growth. This often result in over-engineered solutions and unnecessary tools being used. Again, it's not that what we learn in startup is waste. But would you rather learn building long-term sustainable software or short-term with unreasonable user-base?
Open to be corrected here!!

Startup vs Stable

Hey is it all over for someone who did mechanical engineering and stuck in WITCH in a bad project?
I did start with Research, but it paid peanuts then during pandemic made the switch but, ended up in bad project twice(the second time was a heartbreak though I could figured out how the org works and secured good project, but landed in a bad project) and it's been 5 years since I graduated. Is it all over for me?🥲
I earn <30k nett
For MS all I see are mediocre universities(due to undergrad percentage) which would make it hell with all the loans if things don't go right

Is it all over

System Engineer

Hey. I'm a post graduate from a tier 1 MBA college currently working as a management consultant in one of the Big4s (<1 year). Compensation is good (~30 lpa), can't complain. Work has been stagnant for a while firm wide though and have just been focused on upskilling myself.

With the interactions I've had till now, I don't really see myself building any hard skills other than data analysis in excel, power BI and business acumen here. (I might just be ill informed here, but are these transferrable skills I can take to the industry? I know data analysis is the bread and butter for business everywhere but I'm talking about specific software and whatnot used in companies) 


1. I'm just worried about the exit opportunities that I might have later on. Can anyone shed some light on what kind of exit opportunities one can expect?

2. Let's say I want to get into the operations side of the industry. Is there anything I can do if I'm not necessarily involved in such projects?

Exit opportunities for business consultants?

Consultant

1. They are the most overpaid people in India.
2. They have no work life balance and they don't even know what it means.
3. They think they are the best at everything, but they can't do anything right.
4. They are always complaining about their job and how much they hate it.
5. They are never satisfied with their salary or benefits package.
6. They are always looking for new jobs because they think they deserve better than what they currently have.

Would you like to add anything else here?

 1. Doesn't do anything other than throwing random jargons 
 2. Can't explain what they do other than say how they are not Program manager or something else

Hey community folks, 
I wanted to know which approach is best or you tried yourself while trying to switch. I know trends are like either going for product based companies (Amazon, Microsoft, Intel) or going for Management consultancy companies (like  Bain, BCG). 
What should one aim for career growth wise. Obvious question yet wanted to have people's thoughts on this.

Thanks (⁠θ⁠‿⁠θ⁠)

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I got a job in security out of college and they trained me for my role. I don't like the work hours so I want to switch to sde, do people get  any training if they join a new domain or job? Or are they expected to deliver from the first month?

When switching domains, do companies give training?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I work in a slowing industry (Ed-Tech!) in a generalist role (Project Management!) for half a decade now! You'd think I would be better positioned to deal with life! Heck, NO! 

This crippling feeling of insecurity or job loss always puts an extra stress on day to day life. I couldn't take any risks in terms of a house or a car or a big EMI purchase in life! 

What if I get laid off? Will this generalist role help in landing anything next? Do I need an MBA for that? Switching to any specialized roles will take extensive preparation with time being in short supply with family and kids! 

Seem to have been strangled in the startup world. Any cure for this?

P.S : Sometimes thinking : Mommy sahi bolti thi. Govt job le leni chahiye thi. :D

Project Manager

I recently started interviewing after a period of about 5 years and I am very surprised about the change in the way interviews are conducted these days. I have now interviewed for few companies like Sitetracker, Avance Clinical, Iron Mountain and expedite commerce and each organisation had their first round as a fit check round which i’m unable to clear. Can you guys share some tips around it.

Salesforce Developer

I am a software engineer with 2+years of experience at a product based company. My current CTC is around 10 lpa which I feel is below market standards. Also my wlb is terrible and growth at my current organisation has become stagnant. I mostly work on bug fixes and some minor feature enhancements.
What are the skills that are required to switch to a product based company as soon as possible with at least 15-17 lpa ? Currently I am not aiming for big tech ( FAANG) type companies as I know these will require thorough DSA , System design preparations which is not possible with my current job.
