Why we don't have culture of TC or GTFO culture on Grapevine?
On another similar platform, Blind, there are unspoken rules, one of which is TC or GTFO. As an OP, you are required to share your TC and YOE in your post; otherwise, community members may choose not to participate. This practice proves beneficial in understanding industry pay culture.
Grapevine is used by tech as well as non-tech folks, for career as well as non-career related discussions. I think the user group and use-cases for Grapevine are slightly different from Blind.
TC and GTFO is unnecessary toxicity that I feel we don't need here.
So does Blind. Basically Grapevine is the Indian version of Blind.
I am part of this community since they started on Discord. There also while joining you had to share your CTC. Also, toxicity is everywhere and TC or GTFO pros are far more than cons.
Both of you have interesting perspectives. But we should ask the people who get hurt by all this more what they feel.

TC?
TC or GTFO is extremely toxic imo. Salary cards are available in case you want to share salaries tho.
I highly doubt it is updated or everyone is sharing their numbers. May be 20-30% of the members are contributing to that. Just a hard guess
Both have similar agendas. Then why not some similar unsaid rules. Also I believe that culture is one of the main reasons behind its popularity.
They will create a JIRA ticket for it when they have time in near future perhaps.
Grapevine slowly adds feature.

Blind is shit now. Endless spam and useless posts. Entire blind can be summed with few keywords like H1B, desi, marriage, moving back.
Lol. True to some extent and also highly irrelevant to the Indian Tech market.

Can you elaborate the Pros here? In your opinion and maybe if there are cons.
They did release the salary feature as a way to keep update to date information.
Because it's toxic. Forcing someone to reveal their TV everywhere is as bad as companies forcing you NOT to reveal your tc.
Revealing salary should be voluntary but encouraged. Forcing it like blind is just toxic.
