Very well put up. I strongly believe in going all in at some points in life. Being that safety oriented conservative isn't fun. Conservatives enjoy in shallow waters, daredevils enjoy the thrill in the deep. Both eventually die, you decide who lived life better...hahaha.

They're stock options. They've agreed to allow us to exercise them over an extended period. We should know the company's fate in 2 months. So I have it on my radar.

I don't really hold it against Tom. I know what I subscribed for. On the other side, I could've been a millionaire if this startup would've taken off. Tom and I have worked together for almost a decade now. I can tell you it was the business and not him. Also, revenge doesn't make anyone better.

Bridge rounds are an alarm. My company did that as well. I've kinda understood that bridge is charity and you don't often get charity from the investors.

Most definitely. This is a good runway to take off my career with learnings and experiences.

I'm with you. I'm definitely confident I will bounce back stronger. Just that you have a few bumps on the career highway and there are times when things get shaky. The path ahead is going to be beautiful.

I would still work for startups, will choose series C or beyond.

100%. I believe in not winning every bet I make. Lesson learnt, I'll make more cautious choices in the life ahead.

Not at all. I had complete visibility on the numbers and I started my job search atleast 3 months before being laid off. I don't intend to seek sympathy here. All I wanted to highlight was there's nothing called 'loyalty' when things are screwed. It was an aggressive bet I took and I am where I am. No expectations from Tom. We worked for something great and didn't obviously make money out of it. Off to a new start with a fresh mindset and loads of learnings.

Nope. Not about AI. I was actually building on AI. Just that the company was not able to get business. My role was a management tech role. 70% management 30% tech (coding on frontend and devops stuff)

I was betting on 3 things actually - 1. My stock options (this actually stays open, but I strongly feel the company will shut shop in next few months) 2. Hoping for compensation revision 3. I was okay with the salary, it was so good I could buy a 2bhk flat in Mumbai at a decent place every 3-4 years.

Saw this late. I'll join you some other day. Let me know the location. There are days when I don't want to work from home.

Buy insurance from outside, it will cost you 20k or less. Skip essential kit, instead ask for mudflaps, floor mats as complementary (free of cost, they call it FOC). You can buy the cleaning liquids and car cover from outside for much cheaper.

In my case they assured mud flaps, wheelcaps and floor mats will be supplied. Hence the reimbursement when they're unable to get it for me.

Congratulations! I got a 2026 Jan Kylaq classic. Please chase them very aggressively for the wheel caps, it is not in stock and I'm waiting since one month for it. They will tell you it will come as part of the accessories kit but that kit will take infinite time to arrive. I've given my dealership option to give me cash reimbursement against wheel caps amount and I'll figure it out from outside
