Talent < Discipline

What are the side income opportunities I have if I put my papers without an opportunity in hand🤔

Those who lower standards are thieves of potential. It is challenge that reveals the shape of our talents. The sparring partner that hits back. The teacher with the red pen. Resistance builds strength. Skill comes to the player of the unrigged game.

The stupidity and arrogance of some leaders in some companies to use colleges as filter criteria for what is clearly irrelevant for the role. Mostly these idiots end up fucking up company after company creating these neo-casteist groups sucking off and living off each other. This identity based hiring is the start of corporate politics. I still don’t understand how difficult it is for fucking idiots to understand that while hiring for most roles you have to encourage diverse backgrounds at the start of the process to help you hire the right candidate for the long term, specially in a startup. PS I’m not against preferring candidates from certain colleges if it’s relevant. What i do hate is this herd behaviour of trying to hire only from your alumni the moment you are given leadership roles. It must be such shitty experience to work under idiots like these if you are not from their alumni colleges because their biases play into all evaluations they do about their teams.

Title. I want to know the opinions of both men and women regarding this of why they are for or against diversity hiring.

Last month I interviewed with NoBroker for a Demand Servicing Head position. The process went like this: 2 rounds of screening with HR/TA - was okay, good conversations. After which they scheduled an interview with the Business Head for the particular team. This interview went well too. After this they sent me an assignment - the longest assignment I've ever worked on as a part of the recruitment process. It asked me to write multiple detailed SOPs for the sales team, build a demand forecast model, and a complete demand generation plan for an oddly specific scenario. They gave me 5 days for it. I worked my a** off, desperate to get the job as I've been unemployed for some time. I did the assignment close to perfection - spoke to so many industry folks in real estate and made realistic assumptions, covering all possibilities. All in all I've not been so confident about my work ever like I was in this case. I submit and they acknowledge. Few days go by, I follow up, only to be given generic delay reasons by HR. Eventually, after more than a week they rejected me. When I requested for feedback on the assignment they completely ghosted me. I don't know why I'm sharing this here, but it's been hard. I've been jobless for > 5 months and every such experience completely shatters my already low self esteem further.

I wanted to understand how the engineering culture at CRED is. How is the work-life balance? Do you approve of the CEO?

How can we differentiate between passion and talent? I think this is one of the burning questions which is likely to solve much of the dilemmas in making career choices. To be passionate about something and to be talented on something, are totally different things. And at last, on which factor among the two should be weighed upon more, while taking decisions related to career?

Corporate has a different type of reservation.
