CRED techies, beware!

I have 1.5 years of bad experience in IT 🚫

How come Techies lose money to cyber thugs who are just damn illiterate most of the time? Not just cyber but dating app traps and what not.... Techies be alert and don't allow ur hormones drive ur brain 🧠 YT link https://youtu.be/zntWkPtN7Ps?si=nF7vlZF6omRxRrwQ

I don’t work for CRED or have anything to do with them but I’ve been seeing a lot anti CRED or Kunal Shah posts here. Did I miss out on some interesting/ entertaining news or is it just a frustrated candidate who didn’t get in or a customer who’s had a bad exp?

I am seeing a lot of layoff related posts everywhere from news articles to LinkedIn.. Is the Job market really that bad now? Or just the media is projecting that way? If it's really bad, which department you think is the most affected? How's layoffs specifically in India? Or is it layoffs in US but more hiring in India due to cost cutting? Are layoffs in technology/engineering dept as in for developers or some other departments? Your thoughts please..

I am posting this information to safe gaurd others job seekers and posting after doing my level of research as one of the victim is my close friend. Person named Brahmaiah Shaik, who claimed as currently working as senior HR at Virtusa, Hyderabad has taken money from many unemployed job seekers promising them Jobs in development and testing and help them with fake experience letters and other onboarding activities. He has been promising jobs in Virtusa and Wipro like companies. Almost 38 lakhs has been collected from 21 individuals since Jan 2024 and they are still job less as he is not reachable now. People who has given money became helpless now. Please be aware of these fraudsters. Do not believe anyone who are promising jobs atleast do not pay blindly well before any progress. Build up your skills and try out for jobs or atleast approach a renowned consultants. Please if someone are there from Virtusa..let me know any internal ombuds channel to report this.

Folks are calling out Upcred.ai for non-sensical JD. I was surprised to learn it’s a Cred (invested)company 😂

What problems would Indian and Global startups be solving in the next decade, or they would be just throwing random yearly new buzz words and as usual VCs would be having orgasms on these buzz words. I mean real problems.

What, in your view, is the difference between tech startups and tech-enabled startups? For example, in my humble opinion, Swiggy, Zomato, CRED, and PayTM are tech-enabled startups. I can name only a few Indian tech startups, such as InMobi and Ather. (There may be more, It’s just i don’t know). This also suggests that India's startup scene is dominated by tech-enabled startups. In contrast, Amazon may have started as a tech-enabled e-commerce company, but it is now a fully-fledged tech company. They ship software, technologies, etc. Why isn't it the case with India's tech-enabled startups? Additionally, I would like to know how difficult it is to secure venture capital (VC) funding for tech startups.

Hi, Wanted to connect with folks from CRED for some information on average salaries and tech stack. Endless gratitude if you could please DM.
