This is my natural hair. Only shampooed. No conditioner or nothing specifically for a post on reddit.

I did try minoxidil for improving my part line and crown hair, I have thinner hair on top and somehow always falling.

A stylist once told me, that I do have good hair, I should rather use expensive but useful products and style with blow dryer atleast. And honestly, i loved it.
My hair was more manageable, looked healthy and had lesser breakage too.

I got even more motivated, and thought to try Minoxidil. Since then well…
My hair felt more frizzy and dry, and obviously had to wash hair every 2 days. And because of this, I stopped using my best expensive products and reduced blow drying to once a week. And i absolutely hated my hair.

See, everyone has limited energy in a day. After starting minoxidil, my life revolved even more around hair, styling, the dandruff, the abrupt outings, the hair wash needed.

Now I have thrown my minoxidil after frustration.

Could y’all pls suggest me some alternatives such doesn’t suck the moisture of my hair and my life?!!

As the title says, I’m stuck in the loop of applying -> rejection -> study HLD LLD DSA and sleep eventually

So I currently work in a US based company, small but 30 year old, storage, file systems and AI
I LOVE MY WORK. Very impactful, US gov and army related orgs use our products

But I’m tired of being treated so unfairly by Indian HRs, communities and literally even developers at times!!

RANT ——

I have always seen this hype when you work in MAANG, or unicorns, or investment banks or so. And people’s eye lit up giving you more attention/respect.

IM NOW GETTING JEALOUS, I’m done with this.
My boyfriend works at Microsoft, and oh boy. The amount of opportunities he gets via linkedin from direct messages, the amount of attention he gets for every shitty post he does? But my base is still higher than him after his promotion after 1.5 years of joining.

I’m particularly not talking about my boyfriend here, I would also join Microsoft happily with lesser base but more stocks, and obviously the goddamn respect. but try to understand that having a brand name is all it takes here

People in my company are US based, Ukraine, Germany and I think Singapore. I have extremely improved my communication skills, learned efficient working style and obviously no meetings or calls after work. I used to be intimidated of foreigners because I would think that, they think I’m a noob Indian girl who’s still learning to code. But I met such amazing and helpful people here. Absolutely grateful
