Corporate strategy

Never love your job more than yourself. Sure, handle your duties responsibly, but never forget to live your life.

Don't love your company, love your job

Don't love your company, love your job- Grapevine

That has made me seriously look at non-FAANG jobs. FAANG no longer pays the best and no longer is the best work culture, is something I am starting to realise the more I talk to my friends about it.

What do we think about the ongoing brutal layoffs at Google?

Love urself not a job or firm

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Was just reading The Ken’s article they posted today around what went behind Bain’s recent layoffs - made me think a lot. More so because I rejected my offer from Bain in college to go join a startup.

Bain is a titan in the consulting world, what made it stumble so hard in India? By now, all of us know Bain let go 15-20% of its workforce, a shocking move that reveals deep problems.

What went wrong?
1/ Putting all eggs in one basket: Bain's excessive dependence on Tiger Global (60-70% of PE consulting revenue) proved catastrophic when Tiger faltered. When Tiger faltered, Bain was left scrambling.
2/ Overconfidence led to overhiring: The 2022 hiring spree, nearly doubling B-school intake, reveals a dangerous disconnect between market realities and internal optimism. Now, with less work, those hires became a burden.
3/ Reputation at Risk: Layoffs may solve immediate financial woes, but the long-term damage to Bain's employer brand could prove costly in an industry that thrives on top talent.
4/ Others learn from Bain's mistakes: While Bain stumbled, rival BCG played it safer and is now in a stronger position.
5/ Growth isn't everything: Bain's fall shows that in consulting, steady relationships and smart hiring matter more than just getting bigger.

So thankful for not joining consulting post college 🙏🏼

Big layoffs at Google!

Research engineer

Hey Folks,
I’m in a phase where I have decided to move out from my present company. My present company is very dear to me as it gave me the taste of what success looks like. Honestly, I would have never made it had I not received the support and backing that I got here.

I don’t know if I am making the correct decision. Emotions are literally overflowing. One side of mine tells me that I am making the wrong decision whereas the other side is excited to see what future holds for me. 

Literally anxious of all the thoughts that are crossing my mind. What if , I am not able to perform at my next company ? What if , they decide to hire me and then not honour their offer letter ? What if, the company has a mass layoff and I am impacted ?

All these thoughts are literally eating me from inside. Any suggestions on how can I handle the same ?

Post COVID layoffs where brutal. Seems companies now are not shy to lay off people as and when required. What lessons did you learn from it. How has your outlook towards work changed ?

What have the recent corporate layoffs taught you?

Google hiring back laid-off employees?

Business analyst

This has become a common discussion topic in my friend circle when we think about switching jobs. Earlier Google used to be number one choice for many, but now due to layoffs and the hear-say about toxic work culture in google cloud things are changing and people are preferring other companies. Is it the same for you as well ? has your perception of Google changing too? Is google loosing both the cloud and AI battle?
