It is hard to work as if it’s all rosy. Better to invest more time in urself than company as nobody is loyal

Take a home lone. Jk. But on serious note upskill. Knowing that you can get any job you apply for will give you the kind of confidence and peace of mind that nothing else can match.

Ya I consider myself lucky that I don't have any such financial obligations. Yup, working on upskilling and some personal projects on the side.

Currently the company work at,  isn't doing good. We have had a lot of layoffs and the people that are left are either trying to switch jobs or are stuck due to external factors. 
There has been little to no communication from our management and we have no idea about the future of the company.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I am seeing lots of startups are firing these days even previous year it was happening.

Would like to know the mindset of employees who got saved. Like to know what goes inside your head. How do you deal with this situation as it can happen with who got saved somehow, etc etc

What is the morale of employees in company where layoff happens

Android Engineer

In the recent performance review, shitty manager gave bad review.  Though worked very hard the last whole year. Brought this to skips  notice, but he's not ready to hear what I have to say, just speaks what  manager has to say ( probably not to hamper his relationship with the  manager). This manager is very careless and has no idea what's going on  in the team.. Other colleagues who did less than equal to work as mine  got better rating than me due to their manager being good.   

Lost all hope and motivation to work. What should I do?? If I quit  now the market conditions are too bad. Did not learn anything much in  this shit company..   

Looking for advice..

Bad rating inspite of doing good work. Next steps?

I’m stuck in mediocre paying job as a Backend Engineer from past 1.5 years. I want to switch but I can’t. I’m unable to came out of comfort zone.
Can anyone suggest some good strategies to stay motivated and focused on your job search despite the challenges.

How do you find motivation to switch?

Have an M.Des from one of the IITs.
This is going to be my first switch.
Is having a WITCH org going to screw my chances of getting into a product based org. If yes, how can I work on this?

I have 3.5 YOE in UX Design and overall 4.5 YOE. My CCTC is 14.59 LPA. What should be my expectatws salary?

Product Designer

3 months Intern at a (Top 4  IIT) 
summer intern at a  product based company(very well known) 
9 months intern at very well funded startup. 
Did not get ppo from summer intern and startup, both ppo above 20 LPA package
Had to start at a bank as sde below 9 ctc
Feeling demotivated if i should continue in software

Cry too hard

Bro I will tell you my situation I got 6 month internship at Amazon on campus, and got placed in a 14.58 lpa company. Amazon did not provide PPO and just a month before joining my offer got revoked. From 2 offers to none time does not remain the same. Right now I am working in a company I feel shy to tell the CTC also to by friends. My father has a very high loan of 30+ lakh in his business. But I will not give up.

Hey folks, I have been working in startups for my entire experience and was wondering if it would be worth it to switch to a bigger org for better growth/learning in this market?

My reasons to switch

1. Low learning potential: I am a senior SDE here and WLB here is really good, too good in fact (I barely work a couple of hours if even that), this is leading to a lower learning potential, the work I get assigned, I complete in a couple of hours and while I have been given bigger projects, the learning is not there, I can easily complete them, and since I am the senior SDE here, I cant ask anyone to review my code/performance

2. Startup is in early seed stage, and there is definitely an uncertainty here about surviving till next year

3. I wasnt given much of a hike despite a level promotion (just 10%).

My manager is really awesome and one of the best guys I have ever worked under and honestly I wouldnt even think of switching if I had 5-6 YOE but at this point, I think i need to learn more and get some more guidance/review from experienced folks to grow. My salary is decent, but having my friends work in FANG/FANG-equivalent is definitely not helping my FOMO, specially when I hear about their projects in their orgs and compare it to mine which are nowhere near theirs in score or complexity.

and the reason why I am hesitating to switch is seeing the layoffs news coming in everyday, I can prep for interviews in the next couple of months and probably apply then but seeing all of these layoffs and folks finding it hard to land jobs is making me fear that I will lose this job with nothing to show for it in the end.

So, should I switch in this market or stick it out in my current org until market situation improves (considering it wont improve until next financial year)?

EDIT: posted this again because I couldn't edit the last post

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Im a Product Manager 1yoe in a SaaS startup.
I had a good experience in the first year. I got to build a product 0-1, competitor analysis, work on creating prioritization frameworks, UAT, content marketing, wireframing.

However, since January the compamy started their stabilization phase, and PM's are now taking care of Sales and lead generation(Content, Ads etc.). The nail in the coffin is we are getting dragged to follow up renewals( Customer Success) 🤢

Im currently motivated to building something new, and it feels like we are being dragged into everything as the company does not want to hire. With no pay hike or any adfitional benefit.

Please advice. Should I look for a new job?

Any suggestions how to get back to previous  salary?

Due to financial situation and sudden layoff, I had to join in some company for 25Lpa to support my family, my previous is 37.5Lpa

Currently I’m a software engineer in corporate. But now my company has full demotivated environment and I’m not able to work or deliver my tasks.
I’m applying for other companies also . But don’t even get interviews scheduled.

What should i do?
Should i go for govt jobs also?
Should i resign first then decide?
Should i continue working ?
Should i think about career switching?

My brain itself is not braining , and filled with such thoughts.
