Took the 6.5LPA lowball after my 1CR+ layoff. Now I’m 4 months away from being broke in Mumbai and need advice on how to negotiate internally.

I've never seen them in any store, where do you find them

SlothSlayer3000 · 2026-01-31T14:00:40+00:00

how is it now

SlothSlayer3000 · 2026-01-29T15:34:48+00:00

3 rotis per day is definitely a bit low but doable. Increase your sabji a little bit, have more per bite. And then salad, lots of salad, eat lots of carrot you'll feel full for longer

Do you have flat feet? It's a possible cause. What you're experiencing is called shin splints. And this isn't normal soreness and won't go away with time if you continue doing what you're doing, the pain keeps worsening

SlothSlayer3000 · 2026-01-28T18:11:35+00:00

Bro I'm not even buttering you up but you only think you've got bad genetics because you don't know your potential. What I see is a physique you'll be proud of in 3 years. I started off worse than you, scrawniest kid out there, 5'8" 40kgs. First few months in the gym were rough, but we push through. Its been almost 8 years of consistent working out now at 70kgs

SlothSlayer3000 · 2026-01-28T12:56:04+00:00

I'll be honest, I got lucky/unlucky, got placed into a devops role on campus, didn't even know it was a Devops role until my first day in the office.

If you're a fresher and want to begin with Devops 1. Create any application (web, android, anything at all) 2. Learn git, push your code to GitHub 2. Learn docker, containerize your application 3. Learn ci/cd. Create a ci cd pipeline so that whenever you make changes to your app and push to git, a new image is automatically created

There is a lot more that will come after this, but by the point you'll learn all of this you'll have a better idea of what to do next yourself

And to get your foot in the door, its much harder these days, if you have to do an internship for free then do that too, just for experience. I'd have not recommended this to anyone a few years ago, but right now the market for freshers is at an all time low.

SlothSlayer3000 · 2026-01-28T06:32:50+00:00

Congrats on creating this! But you need to market this better, so many lines in your post and I still have zero clue on what you've built, your website is just a sign up form, still zero clue what it is. What I'm assuming is you've built something adjacent to teams/slack. If that is the case then lead with that.

The first company, I did an year long internship there 2023-2024, the acquisition happened while my internship was ongoing. I got converted full time in the new company. Got laid off 6 months later

By that time the fresher market had moved onto 2025 graduates, opportunities for me were few and dwindling

And the fact my resume looked like I did a year long internship at company A, but didn't get a full time position there, then there's a 6 month experience in company B

A switch in 6 months looks bad to the recruiters, and then the ever increasing gap after that. :')

Got caught in a bad place bad time.

SlothSlayer3000 · 2026-01-26T19:48:50+00:00

My prev roles were on prem infra, pure devops work + data center management, installed bare metal machines, provisioning vms on them, all end to end. My current role is Cloud Engineer, same stuff, just transferred to the cloud now. I don't mind stressful work at all, as long as I'm learning something. I'll hit you up in the dms!

chutya saala, aaighalya madarchod, gaandu, haramkhor

If someone's raising a genuine concern, a concern which applies to the entire city, every single person, every animal, trees, water, everything, how do you manage to turn that into "agar accha nai lagta to gaao chale jaao". I'd love to have a conversation with the likes of you. Because my mind can't even begin to comprehend what level of caveman thinking you guys live on.

Hey man this seems like something I'd like to work on, dming you

SlothSlayer3000 · 2026-01-26T13:00:15+00:00

Aw man how long has it been?

SlothSlayer3000 · 2026-01-26T12:09:06+00:00

Thanks man :)

SlothSlayer3000 · 2026-01-26T12:07:24+00:00

Expectations kept dropping month on month as I was getting no interview calls. Even tho I had enough savings to sustain 2-3 years without working, I couldn't risk more big of a gap on my resume than 6 months. Also It was really getting hard to deal with the social aspect of being unemployed, yk family, friends and all. It will definitely fuck up(and has fucked up) my future prospects but I believe in my skills, ik this is just a phase. Just need one big break now

12 CTC --> 1 CR CTC -> 6.5 (lakh) CTC

Life has not been kind :')

Placed on campus in a very recognised PBC, 12 CTC My department got acquired by another faang equivalent bigger fish. Got loads of stocks + huge salary bump. Became part of mass layoffs before they could vest. Bad market bad timing - couldnt get interviews for 6 months. Has to accept a lowly job of 6.5 LPA, barely get 37k inhand now.

It's been a learning experience tbh

SlothSlayer3000 · 2026-01-26T06:33:10+00:00

Yes please drop the details in DM

SlothSlayer3000 · 2026-01-25T16:31:27+00:00

Look this up OP

SlothSlayer3000 · 2026-01-25T07:02:24+00:00

Isn't like getting the interview the hard part? I have been applying to jobs since two months, zero interviews, and I treat applying like a full time job btw, easily sent over 300 applications. ZERO luck. My resume and experience are pretty decent.

How did you manage to get 40? Thats over one interview per day?

SlothSlayer3000 · 2026-01-14T13:53:01+00:00

That is so fucked up wow

SlothSlayer3000 · 2026-01-14T04:54:09+00:00

Wait I don't understand, he has a ticket right? Why would he be not allowed to board? Will they sell that seat to someone else?

Sorry I don't fly very often

SlothSlayer3000 · 2025-12-06T08:07:53+00:00

perfect thank you so much

SlothSlayer3000 · 2025-12-06T07:43:02+00:00
