Day to Day Office

Okay, here’s my confession... 🙈

A few years ago, I needed approval for a reimbursement bill, but I was in a rush and knew my boss wouldn’t be around for a few days. So, I took matters into my own hands and signed my boss’s name on the approval form. 😬

Honestly, at the time, I thought it was no big deal – the paperwork got approved, I got my reimbursement, and it was all smooth sailing. But now, looking back, I realize how immature and risky that was! 🤦‍♂️

I didn’t get caught, but it was a total “what was I thinking?” moment. Anyone else ever pulled off something like this in their career... and got away with it? Or am I the only one who still cringes at this? 😅

Career Growth

I started my career in e-commerce with a product listing and stock management, earning ₹6K per month. After a year, I transitioned into organic social media marketing, managing daily content for brands for over two years (₹20K per month).

Then came my leap into paid media, where I spent 3+ years honing my skills. I worked my way up from:
🔹 Executive – ₹28K/month (Joined)
🔹 Assistant Manager – ₹43K/month
🔹 Manager – ₹53K/month (Left)

Recently, I took on a new challenge as a Senior Executive in a different organization, now earning ₹65K/month.

Looking back at my 5-6 years of experience, I see a journey of continuous learning and growth. But as I move forward, I wonder if I am on the right path am I earning the right money?

I am java backend dev and my current tech stack is Java, spring boot, microservices, restful APIs, mysql, dsa(400+ problems in leetcode) Have knowledge in kafka as well but no hands on experience.

My current CTC is 7Lpa

No frontend or cloud experience. I got the above offer(hyd location,hybrid model). I have already resigned in my company, attended few interviews but failed in all. Should I prepare more rigorously? Or be satisfied it's a good package for my current exp?

TIA

Is the offer 16Lpa +8% variable pay good for 2.5y java developer?

Interview Tips & Stories

I am working as a front-end developer for 4.5years in a same company. So I think this is the right time to switch my job.

I attended F2F interview yesterday(21-01-25) at TCD, I completed two rounds of interview and wait for a while, they say you may leave now you got a call from us soon.

Is they call me either I cleared the interview or not cleared it, or they call only I cleared the interview?

Can I wait for the call or focus on other interview?

Post interview process

Hey all

Recently I moved to another organisation to my surprise the entire work environment is too different from what I have expected.

And I need to work under My DM who is right in front of us who does micro monitoring so much and it was completely new to me.

Even seniors were saying be careful with him as 7-8 people recently have moved out of the company due to some differences and here I have joined a month ago and Heard more stories about my DM.

How to work and not get focused into him as recently he sent mail to HR for another person due as a bad performer.

Idk how I'll manage here as of now I just want to leave this company within 6-9 months.

If I do will it create any bad impression on me during HR as I just switched 2 companies in less than 4 years even though my package isn't that great!!

Give your suggestions!!!
