Why do engineers quit in tech startup?

Image
There are many reasons for engineers to quit job in a tech startup. Before going to that point, I would like to share my experience in the tech startup both as an employee and an employer. It was a beautiful experience of being a software engineer in the software company. I have learned a lot in that period of time and never felt like quitting my job even though its a very short period. Let's flip to the other side of my life as a tech employer, It is very difficult to explain my journey in an article because its only emotions and feelings which can’t be written down in an article. Faced a lot of challenges and also got lots of opportunities to explore my field of interest and passion. But due to lack of corporate experience, I was feeling nervous. And that was the strongest point to keep me for a longer period in the organization. I always used to take operative decisions for our team because I didn’t know the managerial skills and politics which is played in corporate.

Dream gives you the strength to chase your passion.

Hi, have you ever thought how would be your life without a dream. Or do we fear to dream in fear to loose. Getting education, going to school, was a childhood dream that I still remember. I have never been to any nursery or pre nursery school like other kids. I got directly admitted in grade VIth after clearing an examination but I never felt like missing my primary education. My parents were never concerned about my studies nor they expected me to do any better than my elder brother who was just able to pass the exams without failing in any. But it was like a miracle to my parents when they got to know that I stood first in my pre-board examination. They were surprised and shocked seeing my marks in the parents teachers meet. And then they started dreaming about my career, they wanted me to be an engineer. But on the other hand I wanted to become a doctor which could not happen due to some financial problems. And then I chose to become an engineer. I completed my degree in eng

But wait before starting the guess game. Don’t assume this article to be all about technology or programming languages to develop a software, by just reading the title. I don't always put technology stuffs in my articles. Fundamentally, technology is a tool that helps you execute your daily chores faster, more  effectively & efficiently.  So, I am going to discuss about how technology is not only software/computer related, its basically the right way to solve the problem. It might be our personal or professional problems but finding the right solution is the key to success. There are variety of technology to solve a problem, so how do we take the right technology when there are so many options out there? Understanding the pain points Before choosing the right technology, we should figure out the biggest pain points in our organisation. So that we can easily estimate, what we have already expertised in, and what we need to learn. Once we have the proper e

Behind the ’95% Engineers in India Unfit for Software Development Jobs’

According to a study by employability assessment company Aspiring Minds, only 4.77 per cent candidates can write the correct logic for a programme — a minimum requirement for any programming job. Being an entrepreneur, its too difficult to find a developer who can design a software that fulfil our requirement. I am a hard core developer too, so i can judge the coding ability of a developer to code without taking the help of Google. I have taken lots of interviews during our recruitment of developer and I am very disappointed when they are not able to answer on basic questions. After some research works, I found out some reasons behind why they are not able to write a single line of code. Its my own experience that I have mentioned below. Education System in India I am an computer science graduate so I know what is the problem in our education system. There is no proper practical classes for the computer languages like C, C++ etc. In engineering colleges, focus is given more on ho

Why Millennial Traveller do Direct Booking?

I am not a regular blogger, but today I have got some interesting facts which hoteliers should be aware of. I think, you already know who are the Millennial Traveller, yes you are right, its our generation (born between 1980 & 2000). We travel to experience a new culture. We travel because we get inspired by our friends posting their selfie with beautiful places on social media. And travellers like me travel to reduce stress. Before travelling to somewhere we always give priority to our stay, so we book hotel for our date. Sorry, I forget to mention we always give more priority to discount on hotel, so we check multiple travel sites for the best deal but for validation of hotel price or room images that is shown in travel sites, we visit official website of that hotel. And more interesting thing is we alone are not doing this. Expedia.com, a Millennial Traveller report has mentioned that 85% millennial traveller check multiple travel sites for the best deal. I guess you m

I believe, an opportunity of getting referred by your previous guest is high. But, how do you get their referral and loyalty? By adding some value during their stay through technology will leave them feeling welcome and glad they chose your hotel in the first place. Here are some points, how technology will help to create wonderful experience starting from booking a room to checkout in your hotel. Fast Response time on Social Media I have already discussed in my last article that AI will be the future, Now-a-days all social media use AI for the fast and effective replies to their customer. Before your guests even stay at your hotel, they have queries to ask. The great thing about this generation is that it is hyperactive on social media and will ask discount and a lot more things because of their habituation with e-commerce. And I can understand that you will never be active on social media all the time but your technology can. So your custom chatbot will give them the answer

The best thing about Chatbots is, that they help Hoteliers increase their revenue.

Being a Techie, I have always noticed how people are using technology in their daily lives. Today we have artificial intelligence supplements like Siri on iPhone and Google assistant on our android devices for assisting us in almost every kind of search. We live in an era where the common man might have more conversations with chatbots rather than browsing on the website. This is how I found out that chatbots can also help us book a room and give a satisfactory room service during their stay. Before getting into, how  chatbot  helps us book a room and room service? First let’s clear out, what exactly is a chatbot? It is an AI based program that interacts with the user in a simple conversational mode encouraging communication while providing information. It can easily decode human conversation and interpret customer requests by appropriately choosing data which is being searched for, and then present the best results to the customer.
