🤷🏻‍♂️ work isn’t exciting. Unless it’s ur own company

Consultant

Software Engineer

Work is not exciting or fun, which is why you're being paid to do it.  
  
 No one will pay you to do fun things like going to movies or a theme park. You have to spend money to do that.

Social media influencers get paid to travel and do fun activities

Backend Engineer

Try making money from being a content creator or social media influencer. It's harder work than any job. You just see the curated, polished, final takes, and not all the endless writing, planning, shooting, retakes, editing, and grind behind it.  
  
 No one pays you to have fun this world, lad. The sooner you learn that, the sooner you can start working hard to build your life.

Staff Engineer

A company of a good friend. Literal meaning of "company" I mean 😂

Cred is my dream organisation. I would really like to know what do they do.

In this age of remote work and layoffs, is there any company which excites you for work?  Please share why it excites you too.  Looking for reasons other than money.

Got promoted 3 days back but got also 2x offer from another company

Intern

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

My dream was to work at early stage startup as a Software Engineer bcoz startups were cool. But the toxic environment and lack of organisations made it a nightmare to work at. 

Then I became a PM at a startup after getting hyped about Product Management. And then I realised no matter what you do, the CEO does whatever he feels like. And months later the project is scraped. And I learn only the things a PM should not do.

So what's the role that you got excited about that turned to shit?

What was your dream role until reality turned it into shit?

Product Manager

Hi,
I am a 2023 passout btech graduate. Currently I am working as a full time SDE (Full Stack) in a well established startup (8 years old , Series A funded). It's been nearly half year here.

My compensation is 10.5 lakh base + 4.5 lakh performance bonus + free lunch and snacks + Insurance (Including parents) benefits 

I am pretty good at DSA (around 2000 rating on leetcode, 4 Star at codechef in 2nd year itself, 2000+ dsa problems)

I have worked in 2 startups as an SDE intern during college days and completed 5 internships overall out of which one was a US based startup. Also, I have many publications under my name over the internet.

I had many offers when I was graduating from college.

Most of the time people say, "Hey, you have done so much so Why are you not working in a big tech". Well I always wanted to work for big tech during college days but after I started working in startups my thought process changed  as here I got the ownership of the product.

Now it has been nearly 1 year since I started working in startups. Should I give it a try for big tech now?

Would like to hear your views guys

Am I doing something wrong?

This will help the people to get the list of good companies with compensations, WLB.

Based on your response I will Inmail the recruiters.

I will start
- Microsoft (I am already working)
- Atlassian
- Google

PS: @BiriyaniEnthu Please don't comment with a question.

Hi folks,

Looking out for remote companies with decent pay and reasonable WLB. Please reply if you know any.

Decent pay = close to FAANGM equivalent TCs (including ESOPs)

Remote companies with decent pay

Startup ecosystem seems to be going through a tough time recently.

with less money infused in the market, and all the big player laying off employees, companies stooping so low in the name of cutting down the cost and news about some companies treating their employees like shit.


Still my optimistic ass believes that it can’t all be that bad, right? and things might get better.


Here’s my question to the community, what are some companies you would like to work for and why(apart from money 😉)?

What are some startups that you’d  like to work for?

I am a Software Engineer with 6 years of work experience. Currently working for a US based startup. Previously I have worked for Amazon and a couple of Indian startups.

My current org is remote and I am working from my hometown. It's super chill in this company and work is only to build CRUD and APIs. I feel too stagnant here, my manager is also super chill and is in retirement mode. I feel this will message my future.

I joined this company so I can work on my start up but haven't been very active there too.

Recently a Google recruiter contacted me for a L4 role and had the recruiter screen and he scheduled the interview for the next month.
Google base monthly salary for L4 is way below my current since it's a US based startup. But with RSUs Google annual CTC his higher.

I am confused whether to continue in my org and focus back on startup or start preparing for Google interview. In the long term I want to start my company. At the same time Google will offer an AI ecosystem and resources that will help my startup.

Please share your views.
