Interview Tips & Stories

I interviewed at NICE for a Java Backend role (3 YOE) via referral. The interview went great — I answered everything correctly, including coding. I also mentioned interest in DevOps/UI if needed, though I’m a beginner in those areas. The interviewer explained the role in detail, which felt positive. But just 3 hours later, I got a rejection email with no clear reason. If I wasn’t a fit, why proceed with the interview? Felt depressed and unclear

Career Growth

I have no dependency and financial burden on me, happy guy. So I was working in a service based company 6.5 LPA 3.5 years of experience.

I released I was being paid less worked my a** off got in product based company, 21 LPA and all the perks with good WLB.

But now everyone around me are also earning like crazy and I feel I am being underpaid still. I feel more hungry and unsatisfied as ever before. I used to enjoy my life much more before and my focus used to be experience and fun. 
I don't know what is up with me.

Have I become Greedy?

Supporting each other through the ups and downs of work life

Day to Day Office

Last night, I came home feeling really frustrated after a last-minute meeting at work. I rang the doorbell and saw my husband looking happy because he got a new project thanks to his hard work. 

He was telling me how much praise he got at work and how his career is moving forward. But I suddenly lost my patience and shouted .............SHUTUP, I’m not happy right now ................too much frustrated and I don’t want to hear about your achievements. Just leave me alone.

He looked surprised, and I walked away from the room. Since then, it’s been quiet between us................no hugs or support. And I am wondering why?

If he can share his happiness, why can’t I share my frustration? Being partners means understanding each other, no matter what. 
Why the silence? Not everyone has a good day every day. Sometimes, you just need someone to ask how you are feeling before talking.

Showed My Office Tantrums to My Husband

Show me the money! Let's talk compensation and hustle.

Salary Discussions, Hike & Promotions

My manager is at 50lpa and age of 32 years, fully in the tech world.
But I feel he is broke, Home loans and EMI are consuming his salary.
1.5 crore apartment, shiny car, apart from all this, he can't afford a single stress-free vacation.
Welcome to India's newest illusion: high income with zero financial freedom.

Literally feel he deserves this, but feel bad for him also!
So in short, why do you want a good package and a good designation when you can't afford a happy vacation with family?

Do you agree too?

CTC is 50lpa, but cannot even afford a vacation!

Dolly Chaiwala. A name that started with fun videos and reached all the way to Bill Gates.

And now when 1,600+ people want to open his tapri franchise,
we understand that it was never just about tea.
It was about doing something different, every single day

No MBA. No big money.
Just hard work, confidence and staying real.

Some people look for jobs.
Some people become the opportunity.

What do you think made Dolly successful.....his look, his hustle or his heart?

He didn’t make a business plan. He just served tea — in his own style

Laptop open, wifi perfect. Career... not so much. It wasn’t one big failure...just a thousand tiny ones. Rejections. Ghosted interviews. Skills that suddenly “weren’t enough.” 

Everyone around me seemed sorted. Promotions. Onsite roles. Hikes and me? Sitting with 6 tabs open, googling: “Jobs that don’t require confidence.” I almost gave up. Almost. Then I did something small but life changing. 

Day 3 tomorrow: The tiny decision that changed everything.
