Hi guys a off topic questions here.
I just started my professional journey this October so I really wanted to know what level of frankness I should have with my co workers like can I count them as my friends, how should I behave with them?
I've told by many people that don't get much frank with co workers.

yes atleast at the start don't be that frank. It backfires badly. I would say make friends from some other teams where the work and the managers don't intersect much.

I appreciate ur thoughts

Professionalism is LinkedIn...
Friendship is Facebook (Meta)

So the same is expected at work environment. Be balanced, it will be good for growth. If you become open book in work environment, it will lead to in trouble.

I appreciate ur thoughts

I beg to differ with the opinions thus far.
I think you should just be yoursrlf at the start of your journey. You will smart up as you gain experience and exposure.

But just take it in your stride and go with the flow. Enjoy the journey and not overthink it. You ll hv enough time to worry at a later stage. Now is not that time.

In our 121 last we had a good discussion on creating a personal development plan, with the idea being I’d write down clear goals & action points to get from my current level to the next, and I’d provide weekly evidence of it. I prepped the doc accordingly, but instead of wanting to discuss it, he said I have 4 weeks to “turn things around” - without giving any new info on what I’ve done wrong - esp given I wrote my goals based on this same feedback from last week??

I see the current Indian hiring scene as not unreasonable inflation of salaries and astounding hikes rather as a correction; a deep upward correction.
This was long overdue. The starting salaries have remained more or less stagnant for over a decade.

India is no more the India of yore. India has had a very pertinent export for a longish period of time. Indian software engineers have long served at meagre rates in India.

Now is the time to establish some sort of equilibrium.
