Staying at home is actually driving me crazy 😭😂 Looking for a job in Bangalore while I’m here, might as well make some money and enjoy this expensive city lol. Open to jobs, gigs or any interesting opportunities. If you know anyone hiring, hit me up!
Please time is precious and we shouldn’t waste each others time(humble request)

Hi everyone, as a fresher I’ll be joining a Software Engineer role in Bangalore. I only know the CTC right now: ~₹12.2 LPA fixed (variable extra). I don’t know the exact in-hand, so if anyone can tell me roughly how much it comes to, that’d help.

I’m from a different state, so I’ll have to travel back home regularly too, which adds to the cost (trains/flights, festivals, etc.).

Would this be comfortable for a fresher living alone? Would love to hear from people who’ve been through this. Thanks! 🙏

I’m currently going through a very difficult family situation and had to leave my home with just ₹1,000 in hand. I arrived in Bangalore two days ago, and I’m currently trying to manage things on my own while looking for work urgently.

I’m a Product Designer with 3 years of experience, with experience in product design, UI/UX, user research, and end-to-end product design. I’m actively looking for a Product Designer/UI/UX Designer opportunity and can join immediately.

At this point, I’m also open to any genuine job opportunity that I can secure immediately while I get back on my feet.
If anyone can provide a referral, job lead, interview opportunity, temporary work, or even connect me with someone hiring, I would be incredibly grateful.

I’m willing to work hard and prove myself. I’m even willing to give 30% of my first month’s salary as a token of gratitude to anyone who genuinely helps me secure a job.
I’m a woman currently trying to survive on my own here, and these past two days have been extremely difficult. I’m not looking for sympathy!🙌🏽 I’m looking for an opportunity to work and rebuild.
If you know of anything at all, please DM me. Even sharing this post could help me reach the right person.
Thank you so much. ❤️

Need honest advice: Should I take a 25% pay cut for a Founder’s Office role?

I’m in a pretty difficult career dilemma and would really appreciate some unbiased advice.

I have ~3 years of experience across Program Management, Ops and Founder’s Office. I recently joined an early-stage, fast-growing startup in a Founder’s Office role, but left within 3 months.

The role turned out very different from what I had expected. There was very little context or information about the business, while the expectations were extremely high. Over time, the management style became increasingly toxic and unbearable, and I eventually realised it wasn’t a healthy environment for me to continue in. We parted ways mutually.

I’ve now been unemployed for ~1.5 months and have been interviewing. I currently have one offer from a very early-stage strategy studio that works with startups on strategic problems. Founder's are from consulting background. I’d be joining as part of the founding team in a Founder’s Office-type role.

Why I’m considering it:

- The founders seem genuinely good, transparent and ethical after, had 3 conversations.

- Strong exposure to strategy, early-stage businesses and problem-solving.

- Significant scope to learn and potentially grow with the function and lead it end to end.

- Fast growth based on performance, qs promised by founder's (taking it on face value as of now)

- Could help me build a stronger career direction and eventually prepare for an MBA.

The catch:

- ~25% lower CTC than my previous job.

- 6-day working week.

- 6 months of probation period

- Another very early-stage setup, which worries me after my previous experience.

I initially declined because of the compensation, but the founders came back with a revised offer and seem genuinely interested in having me join. That makes the decision harder.

I’m wondering whether I should take the short-term financial hit for the learning + exposure + potential upside, or keep decline this because of poor comp. (In my job hunting this is my preferable role btw)

What would you do in my position?

Would love honest perspectives, especially from people who have worked in Founder’s Office, strategy, consulting or early-stage startups. Also, what am I potentially overlooking here? Need a blunt answer urgently!

Can help with ICICI Bank referrals — if there’s a genuine fit

I know how difficult the job search can be, especially when you’re applying everywhere and not hearing back.

I currently work at ICICI Bank and I’m happy to help with referrals where your profile genuinely matches an open role.

If you’re interested:

• Send me the job link / job ID
• Send me your resume
• I’ll check whether your experience aligns with the role

If it’s a good fit, I’ll try to help with a referral. If it isn’t, I’ll be upfront rather than referring you for a role where you’re unlikely to be considered.

No guarantees of interviews or offers — just a genuine attempt to help where I can.
