Opportunities are so much more then when I stared. We never flaunted getting a job into a Top company even when options were fewer. What is the need to give average gyan on linkedin for getting a job offer. Open question to Gen Z why are you so desperate for social validation?

Just trying to understand which influencer do you love and why? Could be an artist/entertainer/knowledge influencer on any social media platform.

I am a middle class guy working as a senior engineer in one of the product companies. I belong from the north-east, and I am the only child in my family. Since covid, I was working in a wfh setup. Recently, my company has ended work from home for everyone, and I am supposed to move to Bangalore very soon or quit. I am an active user on all social media groups on Reddit, Fb, etc. For the past couple of months after seeing so much of negative news about Bangalore, Especially the high population, skyrocketing rents, the auto unions, corruption, cut-throat competition, discriminative news, traffic issues, etc. It makes me nervous to be honest. My wfh here was pretty chill, and I had a very limited social circle here, but was satisfied since I could spend most time with my mom and dad. Im very afraid now about what should I do next, shall I quit the job and search for wfh, or shall I make my move. I don’t have any acquaintances there, no friends, no idea about what I’ll be doing next, how to start house hunting, or job hunting. At this point I am miserable and overwhelmed to think about all of this. Anyone who has gone through all of these, If you can share your 2cents, experiences or thoughts, about how you dealt this phase. It will be really helpful for me at this point in my journey. Thanks in advance! 🙏🏻

Quoting from The Ken (which btw I would highly recommend). How many of you think this is true for Bangalore and problems that we are facing now with this generation. +++++++++++++ Between 2020 and 2022, investors pumped billions of dollars into startups whose founders and leaders offered up the mythical “hypergrowth” narrative. Those startups, in turn, pumped money to hire and grow a layer of mid-level and senior-level executives whose job was to deliver on that hypergrowth narrative. And salaries went through the roof. Hikes of 50% and above were par for the course. Cut to the present. If overvalued startups are widely recognised as a problem, can overvalued employees escape the same fate? A CEO of a prominent company estimates that “in product and tech, 20-30% are in this category”. - Extract taken from Ken

Summary: Bengaluru, renowned as the 'Startup Capital of India,' showcased its innovative spirit once again. A man captured a surprising moment of a walk-in apparel showroom, resembling a high-end fashion display within a truck. What do you guys think about this? And would you buy from a truck like this? https://www.ndtv.com/offbeat/peak-bengaluru-moment-man-spots-trucks-with-walk-in-apparel-shop-internet-stunned-4867862/amp/1

Hey I'm an undergrad at an engineering college in Bangalore, and am interested in the PE space. Was wondering if there are any big/mid size PE firms in Bangalore where I can try for an internship?

- Met bunch of nicest humans. People are the best thing about Bangalore (after weather ofc) - The weather though 🤌🏻 - Was lucky enough to get autos and cabs on time, no cancellations (ok maybe just 1), the drivers were sweet too. I messed up location once, the auto driver said no problem madam. Next time, cab driver stopped me to ask for 5 star rating. 😅 - Had the bestest Dosa ever at MTR. Why are you not hyping this? This deserves more love than any other - Finally ticked Magnolia off list. Just too sweet!! how are Bangaloreans having this level of sweet and not gaining weight?? 🤔 🥲 - The entrepreneurial spirit of Bangalore is contagious. - Do all startup bros talk in abbreviations? I felt too old for the generation really
