Indian offices don’t run on good coffee machines on the floor, they run on chai sutta tapri near by.
A sureshot way to unhappiness is to expect your friends to "provide" for you in ways you provide for them. When we are younger our friendships are equitable. Give a secret, keep a secret. They cover for you, you cover back.They waste 2 hours on the phone & you waste it with them
Chris Rock goes to a place called “Stress Factory.” It’s a comedy club in New Brunswick, New Jersey. For Rock, it’s a proving ground. He’ll show up unannounced. In the audience may be 50 people. He’ll carry a yellow legal pad of notes and go on stage for 45 minutes. And…

The biggest secret of influencing people is to make it their idea, not yours. This appears to take slightly more time than pushing your idea & asking them for their feedback. And it takes a lot more skill with asking great questions. But it creates fantastic buy-in. Just magic.
Bhai i feel people are spending way too much on weddings these days! I don’t know how many men and women are sponsoring their own wedding but if you are not doing that, think about your parents hard earned money once and just cut down on stupid show off stuff!
Crazy that non MBA folks can do pretty much everything MBA folks do, without bragging about it.
“Fake it till you make it” commonly gets doled out and is happily accepted as great career advice and even life advice. Let’s examine it though: - You are on a plane. Cool if your pilot is faking it till they make it? - You need to file your taxes. Are you happy if your…

To understand why layoffs are happening at Big Tech, it's not enough to understand if a company is profitable. Microsoft's profits (net income) for 2022 was at $72B: this is above the *revenue* it had every year before 2012. Layoffs have to do with shareholder's expectations:
I often run into PMs working at big companies coping with — “My team is really small. We operate like a startup inside a big company.” Bro, you’re literally working @ Microsoft. Even a bad product has 0 acquisition cost & millions of users! You are tripping on some good shit 😂

Employee A is a solid performer and asks for a 10k salary increase. But they're already at the top of the salary band, so it's not possible. So they find a new job that pays them 15k more, and the company ends up spending 40k to hire and train a replacement.
Nicely put!
A lot of people are asking me why I switched from an MNC to an early stage startup. It wasn’t an easy decision, but my perspective of growth & career has changed a lot in the past one year. I want to experience a fast paced learning environment while I have some risk appetite.
