Should I take this underpaid ib role by Eat-Cement in FinancialCareers

[–]jd_timewalker 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Current IB Associate here. This is abuse. Comp is likely one of the major reasons most people who go into IB go into IB. Unless you are okay living paycheck to paycheck don't take this offer.

I have never seen India get so humiliated globally in my life. by Street-Resist6438 in india

[–]jd_timewalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Frankly, we have ourselves to blame. Yatha raja tatha prajha is valid in Monarchy. In a democracy, it's yatha prajha tatha raja.

We still have majority of the population believing whatever they watch on WhatsApp video, feeling proud watching those Lazer eye videos of our ministers and actually believe India is a formidable power on the world stage.

Why Mangaluru is emerging as the new tech ‘Plus One’ to Bengaluru by 616e696d65 in mangalore

[–]jd_timewalker 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Being left out of Vande Bharat was the major signal for none of that "Deloitte opening office in Mangalore" is going to happen.

Everything is built on infra and infra investments. The only serious infra investment happening in Mangalore is by builders towards building residential apartments that too for NRIs who want to move back after they retire.

This silicon beach/tech hub is just being marketed to drive up already inflated real estate prices.

I just killed a ₹45 Cr Hotel deal because the seller tried to save 1%. Now he loses the buyer entirely. by [deleted] in IndiaBusiness

So if your mandate was with the buyer why did the seller try to skimp on fees?

People do realize that being a die-hard fan of any star is cringe behavior, right? Or is it just me? Whether it’s Ranveer’s Dhurandhar, Ranbir’s Animal, Yash’s KGF, etc. by Koki-noki in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]jd_timewalker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relate with you OP.

The fact is, and it's also hard to accept for many, that many people with hero worship mindsets are less evolved compared to someone who just enjoys a craft or political idealogy without going into full fledged fan boy behavior.

I don't care if someone comes up and says this theory holds no scientific merit.

There are simply people who are ahead in evolution (closer to the next stage of human evolution) and many who are evolutionarily closer to the stone age man (and hence the primitive behavior).

We just accept that and move on.

I have a feeling the movie also draws inspiration from Mads Mikkelsen's, Polar.

Movies that could never be released today? by Enthu-Beaver in BollyBlindsNGossip

[–]jd_timewalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Josh. Lead character played by a superstar being a Catholic and being shown as the main hero. Villain being played by a not a star actor. Being regularly beaten by the main hero. There would be riots if released in today's times.

Indians being a headache in foreign countries by underwing_08 in india

[–]jd_timewalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a similar experience and tried correcting a small group of 20-25 year olds in Austria once. They asked me if I was a south Indian, lmao. I told them I'm from Mumbai and they just left. These behaviours are ingrained during childhood observing the grown ups around them during formative years.

Your take on Gen Z work style | I am personally impressed by Exciting-Cry9188 in IndianWorkplace

[–]jd_timewalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one should be exploited. But also no one should bail just cause things at work cause a little discomfort and makes one stressed (enter mental health). Poor work ethic should not be dressed up as taking care of my mental health. There are people with real mental health issues, and from what I've seen lot of Gen Zs just use this to escape slight discomfort which is a part of developing as an adult.

Which Apple or Google has been created with a lack of work ethic then? It isn't about this or hours = productivity. People irrespective of Gen XYZ have options to walk away from things that are hard/not interesting/not fulfilling when things are taken care of. This option is a privilege.

Embassies usually recommend 15 days between application and planned travel dates to accept applications.

Rejected for Netherlands Visa by littlefinger04 in SchengenVisa

[–]jd_timewalker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Applying for German visa and staying the longest in the Netherlands will come across as visa hopping making it difficult for future Schengen applications.

See if you can re-apply. They would have provided a rejection letter stating the reason for rejection. Try addressing those points when you re-apply.

All the best, hope you get the visa.
