Uber designers (or PMs) why are you trying to get rid of the ride search cancel button? Found a ride faster and cheaper ride on Namma Yatri but can't cancel until Uber decides it's ok to do so! Won't be surprised if this leads to accidental bookings and shifting the onus on the rider to pay a "cancellation" fee. Why chase vanity metrics at the expense of the user experience? Switchers gonna switch.

You can mention current/ex company. Or don't mention. Just say the scam. Let the common things be known.

Something I've found very frustrating while pitching to investors, platforms and funds is that so many of them actually just bait and switch. They pose like gyani people earnestly looking for investments or helping entrepreneurs, but when you speak to them they start selling you their services. Fundraise is apparently just a step away, need to signup here first, or create xyz report first, or do outreach to xyz number of people, or do market research and fresh pitch deck creation, or hire xyz consultant/agency to get to the "next level" - basically a bunch of barriers you need to pay to clear despite having a profitable business with paying customers. Fact of the matter is there are plenty of people raising money based off of pitch decks with no MVP , or even just the right conversations with the right people. But they are rare and hard to find organically. Requires lots of networking and connecting dots over months and years. The point is, this selling in the guise of securing investment is tiresome and a waste of time for most entrepreneurs. They probably do get a few suckers occasionally which helps them stay afloat I guess. Some of them might even take your ideas and start building something of their own or back someone to build it under them. Once you start pitching, the deck starts floating around in VC groups and networks mostly beyond the reach of the average entrepreneur. Considering all this, just keeping one's head down and bootstrapping forever in peace seems like a better approach.

We are seeing news of lay-offs from many companies- in India as well as RoW; Being at the receiving end of it is utterly painful. But who is to blame? Hindsight is always 20/20; So in the current moment, we can go about and blame the management for overhiring and now firing. But since a lot us would get into similar shoes over time, would love to know how others would have done it differently. When the market was kind and capital was cheap, companies/functions/leaders wanted to experiment with every or more ideas having some potential. They wanted to test every market (in terms of geo expansion) and if they wouldn’t competitors would. Definitely some experiments become successful while some fail. There would have been a pressure from Investors which would have translated to internal pressures. Even most of us were just shifting jobs for money without even having conviction in business models of companies we were joining. Who to blame? Investors for seeking growth or CEOs to not have enough hindsight or experience to know such times will come or functional leaders to comply to wishes of their management? Or us to fall into unsustainable greed trap? But now it is about survival. Cutting off vestigial or infected organs vs letting the whole org die. What would you have done differently in the shoes of these CEOs?

3 days back when we launched Moonlight "India's largest moonlighting platform" which you can visit at https://www.moonlightnow.in/ we got 80+ registrations within 2 days of launch and when we called them to understand the reason to moonlight we got 1 biggest reason. Fear of Job Loss or Job Security Some people raised question about Ethics, Right or Wrong my answer to all those who talk about Ethics & Moral Science here is my take on this. 1. When a company fires without giving a notice is there any ETHICS AND MORAL SCIENCE behind that. 2. When CEOs of companies appear in Shark Tank are they not moonlighting by making secondary income 3. When CEOs of startup run Youtube channel are they not moonlighting. 4. When CEOs of startup doing angel investing to get massive returns are they not moonlighting. 5. When So called EDUCATORS teaching on edtech platforms while doing job and making money ARE THEY NOT MOONLIGHTING. 6. When cricketers are playing for INDIA and simultaneously building business ARE THEY NOT MOONLIGHTING. EVERYONE IS MOONLIGHTING and giving the label as per their conveinence so if you also want to moonlight don't think about ethics think about your future and securing your future. DO MOONLIGHT by registering on India's biggest moonlighting platform https://moonlightnow.in/

Can you grow your career by displaying honesty at work? Do you think manipulative people are most successful at work? What category do you think you come under? Honest or Manipulative? If people at work, force you to be manipulative, would you accept it for the sake of your own career growth?

Pretty sad imo

I believe it is extremely difficult to judge exact level of an individual during an interview. It is better to also use past salary as some indication of value to last company. Having said that, the company needs to get to the correct salary range depending on performance in first 6 months. Thoughts?
