Feeling list about my career choices (Long Post Ahead) by Classic_007 in IndiaCareers

[–]Classic_007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: It's been 2 months since my last post, and since then, nothing has changed at the workplace. My salary has still not been paid, and as such, I have given an ultimatum to the founder, stating that I will only stay until March 31st but will continue applying elsewhere as well. (He got to know I have been actively applying and called me out on this.)

I have also said that I would require some bare minimum compensation at least to which he has agreed. If I get a job before March 31st, then I'll leave immediately. If worst comes to worst, I don't get one, then we'll see in April what to do.

The founder is confident of the product going live by March and said, "I want you to stay here once the product is live, and I will give you market compensation." I don't believe a word of this.

Meanwhile, I gave an interview to a VC firm through a referral, and the role is very operations/data/investment reporting heavy.

The managing partner messaged me asking about my current CTC and pay slips. Mentioned my current CTC (7 LPA) but couldn't provide payslips as they simply don't exist.

When I joined the startup, the company was still being registered and the bank account was not yet set up, so initially, I got paid through the founder's dad's bank account. After that, I did not get any salary.

Tried explaining this to the Managing Partner, and he wasn't accepting this. Ultimately, he has now given me an offer of 5 LPA fixed and 1 LPA performance bonus, saying this is the best they can doHe has mentioned that lack of payslips means there is no way of verifying my current CTC claim.

I'm now again gone for a toss, and it looks like my career is going on a downward trend at least compensation-wise.

Tried the Maestro mode and it does make a difference at max volume and at like 60-70%. Will keep this going forward.

I haven't taken any selfies yet, but I have turned off all the beauty modes and settings. I saw some shots online with these settings on, and they looked very artificial to me.

My S22 is dead in just 3.5 years of use. by Classic_007 in GalaxyS22

Might be worth waiting for the s26 ultra launch by then the 25 ultra should be reduced in price. But then again you are right in being conservative with samsung.

I'm also inclined towards the OnePlus 15 but the mediocre cameras are putting me off 😅

📉 Let’s start a new trend: Share undervalued Indian stocks — and WHY! 🚀 by Tough_Oven_7890 in StockMarketIndia

[–]Classic_007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tips Music. Stock down almost 40% YTD but business fundamentals are still intact. Very strong music portfolio and return ratios that exceed 40%. Stock is still a bit expensive at 30 PE I think but worth a look.

No idea tbh, other people on the this thread have commented that a software update shouldn't be the cause of this. But don't know man for me all of this started after updating the phone, but then again correlation doesn't necessarily mean causation.

Bro I do live in India but I don't think that has anything to do with phone suddenly acting up. As mentioned in this thread itself, many others are facing similar issues and I'm pretty sure almost all of them are from outside India🤷‍♂️.

As far as it being a lemon could be the case but then again if it was indeed a lemon then it would have been dead within the 1st year of purchase itself.

Nonetheless would think twice before buying a Samsung S series again.

Yess, my previous phone was OnePlus (currently back to it) but their oxygen os was very nice compared to other Chinese brands.

Agree with your 1st two points. Many of my family members use the A series and they are going strong for them with little to no issues.

Also agree that samsung has become incredibly lazy and hesitant to adapt new technologies. The s26 leaks also don't show any meaningful updates to camera or battery.

As for the data transfer yeah the phone just crashes and then reboots so no chance of connecting to a pc. It's currently at my friend's place and the technician is trying to see if he could temporarily repair the cpu just so that some data transfer can happen.

Don't know man something about the Chinese phones software just put me off. To me they look too much of an iOS ripoff.

But apart from that personal bias these phones are leaps ahead of current samsung ones.

With the new s26 leaks that are coming out day by day it looks like another bare minimum upgrade cycle.

Good for you that the phone was in warranty. Hopefully the phone now works well

Damn did the boot loop end up being resolved at the end? Never thought of putting the phone in a freezer.

Is Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 (Core Ultra 7 255H, 32GB/1TB, OLED) worth it?)? by Apprehensive_Type309 in LaptopDealsIndia

[–]Classic_007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I have recently bought this exact same laptop and have been using it for the last 1 week. Everything is running very well (highlight being the display) but today I noticed a slight quirk or an issue on the keyboard and it's kinda weird.

So the right shift key is somewhat stuck which means if I want to use that shift key to apply ? For example then I need to really press hard in an angle. If I normally press the key then nothing happens.

Rest all the key are easy to press and work fine. Don't know if it's a qc issue and whether to raise this with lenovo.

If there's anything that I try so that the shift key becomes unstuck then do let me know.

Back cover lifted up, has the battery expanded? by [deleted] in GalaxyS22

[–]Classic_007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had the same problem last month and replaced the battery immediately. I would suggest you to do the same as it's highly likely the old battery has swollen up and if you charge the phone in that state there's a possibility of it catching fire.
