I have been applying jobs for the past 1.5 years. I got around 10 interviews.

Last month I completed even a culture fit interview at a Berlin startup waiting for an offer letter and then got rejected for vague reasons that didn’t make sense at all

I am exhausted hopeless. I know that I have to improve my language skills but I seriously doubt if am investing time at a wrong place. I was mostly focusing on startup’s, investing significant time getting to know their mission, vision etc

But these companies talk nicely, give take home tech challenges and almost take my 2months of time and energy just to reject and repost the same job opening

Should I start targeting the truly big tech - FAANG and similar. Start preparing for it along with improving my German ?

I am really really tired and hopeless and I would definitely help some suggestions.

It’s absolutely astonishing how could the language be this poetic by nature

கன்னத்தில் முத்தம்மிட்டால் உள்ளம் தான் கள்வெறி கொள்ளுதடீ

I always thought muthammital was முத்தமிட்டாள் which makes perfect sense too

Just so amazed by the fact that both of these formations make absolute sense

In other words the language is so flexible enough to allow the author to be as poetic and expressive as possible

I am still in the shock

Took a domestic flight from Chennai domestic. Was doing my security check. While keeping my laptop out of the bag, a security staff came near me and instructed me to keep things in 2 separate trays

And then he slowly asked “Tamil ah”. I said “Ama na”. And then with full confidence in his face he was like “Seri etha gavanichitu ponga” and showed his hand. I was like wtf and asked him “ithu legal ah na. Neenga ipdi vangalama?”. He said “yarkum theriama thaanga. Inthanga gpay pani udunga” and showed his QR code for UPI. HE HAS TAKEN A SMALL LAMINATED PRINT and has hid it. I just slowly went pass him, completed my check in and left.

From autos asking for extra 20 rs to this where a staff at the airport asking for some money, where has Chennai come to? When has this tipping culture been normalised here? Remember the staff didn’t help in any ways. Somehow I feel the bribing and tipping has become so prevalent in the last few years and no one knows what’s the answer.

End of rant
