Need some advice! 

I’m a Node.js dev with 6+ years of experience and I’ve got offers from: 

LTIMindtree (26 LPA) 
Capgemini (27 LPA) 
TCS (24 LPA)

I'm trying to figure out which company would have better projects, especially in AI or newer tech. I’m really into AI-related stuff. Anyone working at these companies know about the overall work experience?

Node.js Dev Dilemma: LTIMindtree, Capgemini, or TCS?

The ups, downs, and in-betweens of everyday office life — join the ride.

Daily Office Life

A recent study hints that female managers might get too emotionally involved, which could cloud their judgment when they need to make tough decisions.

From dodging conflict to struggling with objective decisions, is having emotional depth a strength or a weakness in leadership?

What's your take? Does emotional intelligence help or hurt management?

📈 Closing deals, dodging rejections, and always chasing targets — with style.

Sales

Big incentives? Maybe. But even bigger burnout.

People say, “Sales is the fastest way to grow!” or “Incentives are insane!” But if it's that great Why are sales roles always hiring?  Why do most people leave within a year?

From what I’ve seen, reality hits different

Unrealistic targets & daily reporting
Pointless field visits
Long hours, weekend calls, zero boundaries
Shouting managers is equal to motivation
Unlimited incentives”? Hidden behind insane KPIs no one warns you abt

People often say, even today’s CEOs started in sales!
Sure but that doesn’t mean everyone should go through a system built on stress and zero work-life balance.

Truth is, many sales roles are just high churn.
Freshers are sold the dream fast money, fast growth but end up drained and undervalued.

Not saying all sales jobs are bad. Some B2B roles with good culture can be solid. But for most? You need to ask the right questions before jumping in. What’s been your experience too negative, or painfully real?

Why is Sales so hyped in India when it’s not what it seems?

News

In a shocking turn of events, a 48-year-old vegetable vendor from Haveri, Karnataka Shankargouda Hadimani received a GST notice of 29 lakhs. Reason? His UPI transactions over the past 4 years added up to 1.63 crore! 😳

Shankargouda, who sells fruits and veggies near a local school, says: “I only sell vegetables which are GST-exempt! I didn’t even register for GST because I thought it wasn’t needed.”

He’s been filing income tax returns but had no idea his daily UPI payments could trigger such a big inquiry

Still, panic spread fast. Over 9,000 vendors across Karnataka have reportedly received such notices. Many small shopkeepers and sabziwalas are now refusing to accept UPI payments, especially in big markets like KR Market, Bengaluru. 

This is wild yaar. We’re sitting here worried about promotions, 10-12% hikes, and suddenly this guy selling bhindi and tamatar gets slapped with a 29 lakh notice!?

Product Management

Gyaan dena, aur blame doosron pe daalna. Let's sync, circle back, prioritize bhai kaam karoge kab? Product fail ho toh QA ki galti, success ho toh vision tha bhai ka. Khud kabhi keyboard use kiya nahi, par sabko instructions dete raho jaise CEO ke cousin ho.

Design aur Dev ki band bajaake bhi bolte ho “collaborative effort”. Arre bhai, tu collaboration nahi karwa raha, tu bas deadline push kar raha hai. Alignment ke naam pe sabko confuse kar do, aur end mein bol do “let’s keep it agile”. Jhoot bhi itne confidently bolte ho jaise PM role mein daily masterclass milti ho.

PM woh banda hota hai jiske paas ownership toh hoti hai, par control kisi aur ke haath mein. Aur jab project delay ho, toh sabse pehle PM ko hi chhutti pe bhejne ka suggestion aata hai.

PM wale bus gyaan dena jaante hai

I've been wondering: what happens when robots and AI take over most jobs?

It's not just about job losses; it's a domino effect. No jobs means no buying power, leading to business closures and affecting dependent services.

Imagine no money to repay loans—banks in trouble. Can't afford groceries or healthcare, causing hardship and health issues.

This isn't anti-tech. It's about planning for a world where everyone benefits from AI, not just a few.

What steps should we take to ensure a good life for everyone?
