@stackodev Ethics aside, if we dont look for multiple offers, we will be forever be underpaid. Rarely i know that, some people get good offers right off the bat. but the rest of the mediocre people like me, have to fight for it.

And here, we usually have a huge notice period, which itself is usually a filter in most places. So all those places will only interview us, if we are in a notice period. So unless we are too confident about our prospects, we are left with no other way.

@Oktokolo Oh I definitely did mention I was on notice period, after getting an offer. That was a question in their form.

@gogokun I am trying to forget about it... Pls dont remind me

@Hazarth one more problem is.. Most companies will only give hikes based on our previous salary. So unless we have a better offer there is no way to get a good offer even if we know we deserve it. So using offers as leverage turns out to be the only option people have if they are underpaid in their current job.

Forgot i could use my phone for a better image.

@C0D4 I used an online editor to remove PIIs. I will try to zoom it and post it again..

@joewilliams007 True. But i think it is devrant which is compressing it beyond recognition. I managed to get an uncompressed file, but in devrant the quality is still poor.

@pandasama i think this company is not to blame. I think glassdoor is to blame here.

@asgs got it. Funny thing is if you click on the box, it goes into another place where the same things are mentioned as 5k, 2k etc like normal people do.

@PappyHans Thats true. I wasnt suggesting that we should use the same code for the actual implementation. Just that when we show the POC to higher ups , they usually want us to make 100 different tweaks, and that would be easy if they are modifiable.

@doa4aod this reply brings to mind something i heard from my father about margin in mortgages and all. Banks dont usually give out 100% of the mortgage amount, because the buyer has no investment in the property, so there is a high chance he might default on it.

Managers should have some stake in the development process other than making timelines. If they have any role in the development process, maybe it would hurt them more if they make unrealistic timelines.

My company has a 3 month notice period ( non negotiable ). But the salary reduction is way too scary. Atleast i know i wont be suffering in the notice period if i was in it.

I also got some very curious questions about my tone in Skype DMs, because of using ! as a substitute for . For some reason thats how i usually talk in skype and whatsapp, but new people thought something was alarming with this guy.. He is always excited about everything..

@NoMad Ok. Others find my job pointless..🤣. Maybe thats why

So.. you want people who think, they are better than everyone, act like they think they are better than everyone !?

Wait. I do a job which i consider tedious, difficult and time consuming. So i am not in a job !?

Yet another windows update today. Who the hell thought locking down a laptop for hours to download an update is a good idea !?

Why are there single input NOR gates !?

@iybl Ohhh..

@iybl did you mean Zoho ? Zoho is a dream i can never pass.. Attended the interview 3 times.. got rejected thrice.

@qwwerty i used banking apps as an example. Some of my workplace apps wont work with even phones like Xiaomi.. let alone custom OSes

@EpicofGilgamesh It is just an inactivity timer.. almost like how creepy windows decides it is time to play screensaver.

@Floydimus you probably mispelled netflix. Only heard of that shit in black mirror.

My camera is suddenly insanely slow to take photos after Android 11 update. Fookers cant keep their shit together for 3 full years.

@Kyu96 and we can kiss goodbye to all bank apps and UPIs for good coz they wont recognize the OS and wont install coz security.

@EpicofGilgamesh Exactly. But i am guessing if we turn off personalised ads we will get more unrelated ads to make up for the value lost. I am already 3 ads every video, so i would rather shut my eyes and ears for the 15s than having to watch unrelated shit for 1 minute.

@msdsk When some people feel like they are in the woods when using vim, it obviously feels amazing to regularly use it, let alone blaze through vim commands. But there is a point where vim gets tiring sometimes.

Vs code is faaar better than the shit ide i am forced to use in my work.

🤣🤣🤣

The fact that it is not even cheap like Xiaomi to begin with but still resorts to installing bloatware just infuriates me.
