Daily Watercooler (13th June)

Hey everyone,

Thought of creating a daily post where we all can hang around and talk just about anything - without having a specific topic to discuss. Think of this like the Watercooler at your office.

Look forward to hearing from y'all :)

The hiring scene is so bad RN man, and why tf every company I get offer to seems toxic af as per the current and ex employees. So tough to find the right ones

Maybe the toxic companies are surviving because psychopaths running them are able to get the most out of employees :/ It’s a long standing pov I’ve had, and a sad one

Tax season coming up and I’m dreading the process - as usual will be some last minute hash job and a big tax bill to pay 😒😒 any suggestions on how to manage better?

How are folks in the north doing? There are lot of power cuts (unprecedented demand (oh how could that be!)) happening, and it's very hot!

'Whats your comp' seems like the 'send me nude' equivalent of grapevine

Haha fair enough. The new kids have def disappointed. Alcaraz could have been a different one - but seems he choked against Djokovic :/

Does anyone here vape? Switched to it to get off of smoking

But feel like it’s increasingly making my focus worse at worse. Anybody else?

@AlphaGrindset Dude don’t. Popcorn lung is real.

Know of a friend who plays Sunday football. His Nic exposure increased a lot and he got hooked onto vapes as an alternative.

But it is just so addictive that if you look at it:

of puffs * Nic Exposure

Both go up faster in a vape than cigarettes. It’s loaded with Nic and as a result it reinforces a positive feedback loop which increases # of puffs.

Better stick with Nic Skin Patches and slowly reduce Nic exposure.

I came across two posts today. One of a guy whose startup failed and is looking for employment and one of a girl who is looking for a job change. Guess which post had the most likes and engagement!!!

Graduating this year, I've done bba t3 college I'm looking into doing CFA but i would love to work in a product company, I don't know how I can get a role in that. I don't have experience and in this market there's no internship shortlisting. I feel like such a dumb clown. Anyway, how's Bengaluru? Like can I live there and figure out what to do next :) I'll have 2 months of runway 🤡🤡

I don't think it's a good idea to come to BLR, just for job hunting. I work at a FinTech and many back office roles require BBA I guess. I'll check on internal job board and update here. Hope it helps.

Meanwhile spend time on LinkedIn going through profile of folks who had similar education background and are having role that you currently aspire for. Cold message them without hesitation. 1 out of 10 folks would at least reply. Keep a comprehensive list of questions you have for them and ask for guidance.
