Can you imagine?🤷‍♂️

31 years at the helm, steering Hikal through thick and thin, then... bam! Gone in a single vote.  That's what just happened to Baba Kalyani, ousted from the boardroom amidst a family feud that's messier than a dropped bowl of chili.😅

75% approval needed, only 52% received.  Did the shareholder side with his sister?🤔

[Hikal](hikal)'s future at a crossroads - who takes the wheel? 

Let's discuss: Was this the right move for Hikal?  Share your thoughts below!👇

Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

And here we are sharing cabs, splitting zomato orders, and listening to “you need to take more ownership” from managers who won’t even approve WFH 

Matlab itna padhai, degrees, night shifts, crying over appraisals all to get a 5% hike and an extra coffee coupon.

And then celebs? Wake up and get gifted crores worth of cars like it’s a Diwali hamper. Bhai humne kya hi galat kar diya career choose karke 

This system is wild. Some people are born with Range Rovers, some are born explaining Jira tickets on zoom at 9 pm.
Life balance toh chhodo, ab toh logic bhi nahi mil raha

Janhvi kapoor got a 5 Cr car. I got a 5% hike. Life is fair?

There's a developer named Soham Parekh who has worked at several YC (and other) startups simultaneously for years! 
It got so bad that a well-known founder tweeted a warning about it.

This led to a bunch of other founders admitting he's currently working at their company, on top of others saying they employed him briefly in the past.

How does this even happen? 🙄🙄

Soham Parekh: The startup world's most wanted developer?

I worked in a company for 20 years and suddenly put off role. Searching jobs I realised I am over age for various roles that I could do and less experienced for Leadership Roles as my exposure was limited. I always thought I am earning decent money and can work another 7 years and retire at 50. Though the younger generation is much smarter I still want to advise them (BFSI specific)
* Work in a role for max 2-3 years and switch when you feel you are done.
* By age of 30, if you are still earning less than 10 lakh you are not growing 
* By age of 35 you must become AVP as no company will hire AVP if you are more than 36.
*Be loyal to your self, not your organization. 
* Most importantly save atleast 30% or more of whatever your CTC. Donot spend much with every raise. 
* Buy a property, and pay loans before 35.

In tough times it's only Savings that give you cushion and peace nothing else

Lighten the mood and laugh with colleagues over relatable office humor.

What do you guys prefer, Linkedin or Communities?

That's why I prefer this platform "Communities". It has a more fun vibe, a good break from the seriousness of LinkedIn.

Secure your digital infrastructure and leverage technology through discussions on IT and information security.

IT & Information Security

Recently, a CEO (an IITian, no less) shared something that should’ve been a wake-up call for the Indian tech scene.......but most of us are too busy posing on LinkedIn to notice.

Out of over 1,000 applications for a 50 LPA tech role, the majority submitted absolute trash for a basic coding task. 

Yes......basic. Not a system design round
Just a simple task to test if they can code.

And the result?
Poor-quality code
No understanding of the basics

The same people call themselves “Tech leads,” “Experts,” or “SDEs” on LinkedIn, write long motivational posts, and act like they’re running the world. 

Let’s be honest:
Many in the tech world are all talk and no skill.
They’re more focused on looking smart online than actually being good at their job.

This isn’t about insulting anyone........it’s about calling out a culture where everyone techie wants a big salary, but very few want to do the hard work to deserve it.
