Have two kids. They have been my antidote so far. There are tough moments, additional responsibility and finance one needs to account for. But overall I feel grateful I have them. Also I don't have a purpose based on parenting. I am ju

Yes, it has happened to me. For some reason, I totally lost interest and people who knew me were surprised I moved away from technology. This phase is generally difficult to deal with. Somehow we have a strong identity with our career and l

Yes, I could not understand why they were mandatory. They are not "fun" for some and actually builds anxiety. And the experience in turn creates an uncomfortable environment later. Corp and Managers need to consider this when havi

I am emotional for sure. We are supposed to be emotional. When I hire, I am conscious I am hiring people not a replaceable resource. When I have 10 devs, I see each are unique and bring something to the team. And we take time to just speak

I can relate to what you are going through. Depression sucks. And not everybody can understand what it feels like. I was in a situation where depression messed up my career and I had to open up. But what helped me was opening up to people w

I did not intend to mean it that way. I agree, we all need to aspire for better life and sour grapes / self pity does not help. My point is, there are good number of people living below poverty line. Usually poverty has many friends li
