Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

TLDR;

Had a data science intern join our team. His resume was really impressive, good academic record, had a couple of research internship (NUS, IIT), 4 papers in  journals etc. His interview was just okay, but we probably got biased by his resume which looked stellar.
This guy didn’t know very basic python programming. We gave him basic task of converting a image dataset from one format to another(very first step of developing ML model). Took a week, constantly badgered all the team members, would just randomly copy code from ChatGPT, and if it won’t work, would ask us to solve it for him. Didn’t figure it out in a week, and at the end of week, we arranged a meeting with him about the update of work. Turns out, he didn’t even understand the task clearly. But we didn’t mind him, as it was his first week and we cut him some slack. The next week, I understood that he struggled in programming so gave him very basic task. He just had to figure out a command line program. Took two days, gave the result without any documentation, and the very next day he asked whether he would get the credit of his work and that it would account for his decision to full time conversion. 
Then he started taking a leave, EVERY WEEK. We used to have scrum call at 10AM, this guy wakes up at 10:30AM, and tells that he slept late and would come to office by 11AM( we had work from office policy), and he would come around 11:30AM. Would slack at work the entire day, give him some basic task, would keep asking silly doubts, copy paste code from ChatGPT and ask us to solve the bugs. Come to office without taking bath, no professionalism at all. One day I scolded him a lot, to come at time, learn some professionalism( if he doesn’t have good skills, atleast a humble attitude and professionalism should be there), but dude had no effect, comes at 12PM the very next day, missing the scrum call again. Was scolded many times, but didn’t have effect on him. 50k/per month stipend, completely wasted.

Tell story of the worst intern that you had

Very recent one

He was like Hansa (remember the Khichdi show). He did one thing at one time and takes min two weeks for each. He was with us for 4 months- none of his tasks are complete. He will do no-brainer work well; bring paper, pen, and coffee.

We had Hybrid mode with no restrictions. Initially he would just take leaves and not inform. When scolded, he would message random stuff and say he will work from home. What are you working on?!

When he was in office, he would never be in his seat. Constantly call him where are you? I'm at the canteen, I am having coffee, I was out to lunch, I will not be able to do this because someone else asked me to print a paper (stupid reasons)

End of tenure, he comes to me with some marks sheet. and asks for PPO. 
I look him dead in the eyes and say you know you haven't worked in 4 months, I cannot recommend. You can speak with my boss if you like.

Obviously he didn’t get PPO, called me again after a week, asking to look into it.

P.S. I gave him full marks because no point fucking up his career. He is capable of it himself.

P.S.S. I had interviewed him and felt such a failure to have hired someone like him.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I am a pre final year student from tier 1 college( not that the college matters, trying to put in as much info as possible) . Have had a few stints in the product intern role with experiences around core PM responsibilities. What range of stipend should I expect when applying for 6 month on site opportunities in similar roles? Any advice on how to negotiate would be much appreciated.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi, 
I am applying for a new position as react developer in a company at Mumbai. I have an experience of 4+ years in react.js.
So how much should be my expected salary. I'm getting 5.4lpa now, I know which is really low.

React dev salary in Mumbai

Software Engineer

Recently, I got my resume shortlisted for a 2 months internship at a Bangalore based startup. They're offering 13.5k per month stipend with no full time opportunity. Also, there's no remote opportunity as well. I'm currently based out at a different state. They're asking me to fill a form if I'm interested to go forward with the application. 

Should I take the chance to go forward with the application? Isn't 13.5k too less to survive in Bangalore?

Should I move to bangalore with a low paying internship?

Software Developer

I am a fresher, and from non technical background. I am getting a internship, they are offering me remote with stipend but I am insisting with wfo, the stipend is 25K. But I badly want to move to bangalore, just so I can learn more and make connections. But seeing all posts of high cost of living. I’m now confused.

Badly want to move Bangalore

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

So, I have an internship experience of 4 months and am currently looking for Jobs in HR field in Mumbai
What and how much can I expect?

What's the amount a fresh BMS Graduate can expect in HR?

Business Analyst

I am a Product Designer at an Edtech Startup (raising 20m Series B soon) with almost a year (1) of full time experience but overall almost 3 (including internships) at some great companies.

As I am looking for a change what salary should I expect? Considering:-

- I have a design degree from a Non-IIT/Non-NID Tier 1 University (known for good engineers) [so good foundation hopefully]
- The companies I have interned at range from Japanese MNC/Conglomerate, Indian Fashion focused E-Commerce Giant, Indian Food Tech/Delivery Giant & an Indian Digital Transformation Giant.
- The average stipend I earned at these companies was around 40K/month.
- The salary I earn right now every month is between 70 - 90K
- I believe I have Got good Product focused UX knowledge. [Part of the Product team not a seperate Design Team]
- Not another Figma/Framer drooling Designer.
- Many of my peers from my alma mater are placed in Big Tech or Desi Giants owned by Foreign Giants

So what salary should I be expecting? (Keeping aside the ESOP/RSU part)
Is ~ 1.25L/month in hand is right ask?

Please suggest.

 Education is the greatest return on investment ever possible

Hi! I just finished my second year at a tier-1 college. I’ve been looking for internships to do this summer, and a startup offered me a backend role of 10k pm stipend that required 8 hours a day commitment. I’d have to travel to their 2-3 times a week to their office that’s 7-8 kms away.

I know a decent amount of web dev, have built a MERN clone of Reddit, and I’m pretty good at algorithms. 

Upon asking one of my mentors about this, he that the guy who’s offering me this role is simply ripping me off. I just wanted a second opinion on this. 

Am I being underpaid?

10k pm stipend for intern

I'll be moving to Mumbai (Andheri East) next month.

3. Electricity - 3K (estimating)
4. Travel - 3k (worst scenario, home to office - Rs 100, 3 days a week - 600/week) 
5.Groceriess - 2K (Not sure because in a PG but considering it) 
6. Internet - 1K 
7. Lifestyle/Misc - 10K  (I don't party much, most of this will spent in misc and exploring Mumbai etc)
Total - 41K 

Savings - 39K/40K
1. 25K in savings bank account (i need to have this because I'm scared of emergency stuff) 
2. 5K MF
3. 5K PPF

Is this good?
