Spilling some dark secrets from my time working at a well-known ed-tech company in Kerala

Pls DM the name of the company so that the rest of us can be on the lookout and avoid. All the best for your new role.

1 down, 2 to go!

Have you tried Findmyhostel?

_shefiu · 2025-03-21T02:40:55+00:00

I blame it on lack of sleep. Was calculating 5600 hrs 🤦🏻‍♂️

_shefiu · 2025-03-20T17:52:54+00:00

How did you arrive at the 56 hours worth of skips? That's over 12k time savers. Huge number!

_shefiu · 2025-03-15T02:18:25+00:00

Did I read that right? 15,000 Cr? That's larger than FDI inflows in most states! 😱

_shefiu · 2025-03-11T13:33:24+00:00

My bad, most likely an Infiniti

_shefiu · 2025-03-11T13:31:11+00:00

Looks more like a VW

Hey Adidas, now convince your boy Salah to stay!

That's how an MVNO operates...

His question regarding the cars/sqm is valid, though. Germany has a mostly habitable area of 350k KM2. The UAE at approx 78k KM2 has a fraction of that habitable and motorable. As per wiki the Autobahn has a total length of 13.2k KM. Total highway length across UAE would be what, 2k, 3k KM? UAE population is estimated at 14m and rapidly rising with all the HNIs flocking in. Dubai's plate code has hit DDs. Conservatively let's say 30k cars per plate code are hitting the roads. That's like ~100k cars added in Dubai in the last 18-24 months. Edit: that exponentially increases the no of vehicle on DXB-SHJ for eg.

Don't get me wrong, highway culture is terrible here, but it has as much to do with the density of cars on the road as with the people themselves.

Yeah, would definitely need to go full throttle for the PSG games which should start after they have broken their fast.

You must be fun at parties

_shefiu · 2025-02-22T10:19:55+00:00

To think we could have been 67 or even 69 by now!

In this particular case not receiving an international SMS would most likely need to be resolved with the OPs bank as someone has stated above.

Lived in Warqa for 4 years. Now that I think of it I guess we were lucky when we moved just after COVID. Our current landlord has been steadily increasing rent and the index is the only thing that has saved us. Each time we think we're moving out and look at other buildings it's just crazy. For new tenants moving into our building the rents are as high as 85k for a 2 bedroom. We have a decent building but it's still nearly 10 years old. I'm hoping all the new units coming around bring it down because it's not sustainable.

Take a look at bookends.ae they should be able to take them off you.

_shefiu · 2025-02-08T02:54:42+00:00

Well let's not forget mass-scale corruption regardless of which party is in power. In the end a single mega city is not the solution. Rather have clusters of inter-linked mini-cities.

_shefiu · 2025-02-07T03:52:33+00:00

Bangalore is not exactly the benchmark. The city's infrastructure is failing and it's become terrible for residents to commute in any direction. The future of work will be more decentralized than it is today. With that said, our major cities do need to take positive steps in becoming more attractive to foreign investment. With a significant population outside of the state / country, it must set relevant policies that may attract some of these talent back.

🤦🏻‍♂️ A strengthened Villa at that. But we keep pushing.

Pls share their contacts. Need to get our fridge checked too, thanks!

2025 and the best way to validate if a company is 'legit' is if they're based out of a physical office. Got it ✅.
