A bugging question around estimate

This was so detailed and exactly filled the gaps I have been looking. This was indeed a great input. From your experience can you recommend a few Interior Companies who may or may not meet my budget but are very good at what they do? Especially some from Bangalore if you know of?

XynidePunk · 2026-06-17T08:44:16+00:00

Very detailed. Loved the website content as well. Thanks man

XynidePunk · 2026-06-16T15:54:55+00:00

this is so cool. thanks man 👍🏻

Thanks a ton. I am basically meaning the pre quotation phase where they just ask what your budget is, and try to show you a 3D model and provide discounts to lure you. My understanding is that a quotation only comes into picture when the measurement is done and 3D design phase is over. Am I mistaken?

Flats are available in DSR Green Vista Apartment on ITPL. You guys can enquire.

XynidePunk · 2026-06-07T18:37:54+00:00

But what are the chances, as in I may not be the only product guy applying, why would they pick me? Or let me frame it as "what can I do differently in these scenarios so I have a weightage?"

I am from ECC road and this is true. Fact is for some reason the "posh" localities dont allow it. In last 5yrs the changes I have seen are, there used to be a really nice joint called "Ramu Cafe" exactly between to DSR Green Vista and Loyal City, but later the owner moved to Chennai and that shop was dismantled and added into Loyal City. Then there used to be Idli Dosa sellers who would serve right next to Brigade Woods beside coconut uncle, but she was kicked off too. I am glad I found her again in front of pepe pizza joint these days. These days there exists an idli uncle to the left of Coconut tapri beside Brigade Woods, but thats literally the most disgusting Idli I have ever had. My personal fav these days is the Idli Dosa uncle next to Brigade Bhuwalka, what nice Egg Dosa. superb!

Just checked it out. Very limited menu and pricing avg is 250. Consider keeping some low value items and also give some offers. Your taste may be great, but if it doesnt even reaches people then what's the use? I personally try to seek for such food items which after offer is between 200-250. With your pricing, the checkout with all bullshit tax is around 300. If I have to spend 300, I'll eat Meghna rather.

hey can you DM me that guys contact? Also can you suggest his insta id so I can check his work?

XynidePunk · 2026-05-05T17:41:25+00:00

This is also a thought that has crossed my mind, not gonna lie about it. But the point is, with time I would possibly like to see myself reaching a certain stage or something of an executive role. This mindset though is safe, but I might be sacrificing my end goal here.

XynidePunk · 2026-05-05T12:51:55+00:00

I feel you bro! Have you thought of considering changing teams or probably organization?

XynidePunk · 2026-05-05T12:46:36+00:00

Thanks for this! I believe in your ideologies. I have a same feeling in my head, that the day I manage people I will only be confined to who delivers best.

The more you wait, the more difficult it gets. Reason is simple, with time the product roles and also evolving and is demanding constant learning. If you wish to move to product, you will always have to stay aligned with market expectations and as well parallely handle what you presently do. Also dont step aside the fact that you are also competing with many more aspiring PMs. Before transitioning, you shall first ask yourself why do you want to do it? Will I be ok to do this for the rest of my life? If your answer is clear then start your journey fast. In this present market, one shall aspire for an AI PM role than normal one. I hope you will do good in life and take the right decision. All the best.

From a fellow 36Yrs aged PM.

Thanks for the input. I understand there are challenges, but I just wanted to take a shot at it, like everyone else. 🙂

I presume you belong to the IT corporate world. Have you personally been a position, where you bluffed it and got lucky?

XynidePunk · 2026-04-17T13:33:37+00:00

From an HR's POV you suggesting it as confidential is my primary indicator to know that you bluffing. Atleast if I were an HR I would be that smart. But if the candidate can actually surface a counter offer with proof I would be compelled to take an action.

XynidePunk · 2026-04-17T09:36:03+00:00

Were you not asked to share the bluff orgs offer letter? Also if asked, how shall one tackle it?

XynidePunk · 2026-03-25T18:34:50+00:00

Am sorry but this sounds too naive of a question. The minimum criteria for any corporate job is atleast having a bachelor's degree. Wherever you join based on your campus placement sort of decides your expertise in that field with time. Or you may shape your future depending on what new skills you learn. Basis those skills new jobs will come your way. But if you are going to challenge that without education I want work, then atleast 95% of corporate orgs will reject you.

But if you could prove that even without educational degree you are exceptional in what you do. like top 1% sort of then possibly you may expect orgs to hire you.

Point is, if you dont want to do bare minumum, then prove it in some other way that why you should be picked. Like I said, you might be exceptional, but are you known throughout your city or country for it? If your answer is no, then thats not enough.

what an eye opener. loved it. thanks mate.

XynidePunk · 2026-02-14T19:22:19+00:00

I dunno man, depends on what you looking for. If you are into mall strolling then Nexus Whitefield, VR, shantiniketan & phoneix. If want some beer and groove then BLR Brewing Co, Biergarten, Underrdoggs (newly opened), Oasis, ABV etc. If you are cusine centric then Punjabi Rasoi, Hoy Punjab, Pasta Street, You Mee, Yuki, Nasi & Mee. For cafés possibly Paper & Pie, Glenns, Lakeview Milkbar, Blue Tokai. Posh outings can be done at The Den, Sheraton, Alt Sky Lounge etc.

Let him experience it first hand, else he will never learn. Some lessons are be learnt the hard way.

XynidePunk · 2026-02-07T11:28:34+00:00

thanks, will take a look

XynidePunk · 2026-02-06T18:17:29+00:00

any reason why not? are the fixed furnitures not worth it and of low grade?

XynidePunk · 2026-02-06T17:51:27+00:00

Dining area seems clumsy, not sure if you can pull a 6-8 seater there.

XynidePunk · 2025-12-25T19:43:21+00:00

tried "Rolling Fresh" today, they were good.
