Interview Tips & Stories

Sounds harmless. Feels heavy.

Kisi ke liye bas ek linepar kisi ke liye din bhar mobile check karna, resume dobara open karna aur apne aap pe doubt karna hota hai.

Interview sirf job ka nahi hota,
self worth ka test bhi ban jaata hai

Aur jab koi mail nahi aata toh lagta hai… maybe it’s not just the job I lost, it’s belief too.

What do you people think?

News

Kap’s Café was targeted in a shooting incident in which multiple gunshots were fired at the establishment.

After hearing the recent Kapil Sharma Cafe news, honestly, I’m rethinking the whole Canada dream. 
Whether it’s for a job, education, or launching a startup, maybe it’s time to pause and think twice.

Why not invest in India instead? This is our home, with immense opportunities and growth waiting for us.
“सारे जहाँ से अच्छा, हिंदुस्तान हमारा!”

Don't go to Canada...Not for Jobs, Studies, or Startups!

Career Advice

My friend cracked a top MBA. Landed a dream role. First few months, he was giving it everything. Long hours, proactive ideas, trying to learn fast.

But slowly, he realized the truth. He wasn’t growing, just getting better at chasing deadlines. His manager barely gave feedback. Promotions went to favourites. The work? Same slide, different title.

One night he told me, “I don’t even hate my job but I feel like I’m wasting my best years doing nothing that matters.” Since then i have been thinking about what he said. Because honestly, so many of us are quietly stuck, not unhappy enough to quit, not excited enough to grow.

No advice, yaar. Just felt like sharing this. Maybe you’ve felt the same? Yahi ghissi pitti life hai kya?

Job mil gayi, career kaha hai?

I’ve been in this company for 4 years. In the beginning, I was excited and doing well. But slowly, that feeling just went away.

These days, I barely open my laptop. I manage most of my day through my phone. Haven’t felt truly engaged in months. I’ve been applying out consistently for 7 to 8 months, reaching out, networking, tweaking my resume everything. But m exhausted.

Every single promotion cycle just brought another reorg. And with every reorg, I got moved farther away from the work I actually wanted to do. The team I cared about doesn’t even exist anymore. There's no real growth path left, no appreciation, and now there are whispers about layoffs in the next 6 to 7 months. 

I’ve emotionally checked out. I dread opening Teams. Most meetings feel like noise. I don’t even know what I’m working toward anymore. And the worst part? I used to care. Deeply. About the impact, about my team, about doing good work.

How did you pull yourself out of it?

How long am I supposed to last like this?

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.
