Only heard bad things about culture and WLB when I asked around ~6 months ago.

Since salary was good and they were the ones who reached out, I decided to go for the first interview - which was just an initial screen with HR.

First HR department that was rude that I ever met, normally even when culture is bad, at least the recruiting team tries to sound pleasant and convince you to join, not them. 😂

I asked around about investment team. But I never spoke to someone who was working there at the time, HR person said they would reach out in the future and they never did. So she was the only person I spoke to during my “interview process”


I just assumed it their view on “my skills” was just as bad as my on their culture and they didn’t want anything with me 😂😂

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.

I am familiar enough with the language (React) and pushing updates to Git in order to complete the test, but I'm afraid when I do a panel with the team to review my design, I'll end up making a fool of myself.

I've never been so excited yet so nervous for a role.
