Thanks. I doubt others are willing to do so. A few months ago, I had an offer from one of my old friends to join his well funded startup. ( He himself approached me). I turned it down because I wasn't aware of the bad things happening here. Really regret it now.

Thanks for sharing and good to hear you found a better place. Did your manager explicitly tell you to start looking or you just got some hints?. In my case, they havent (yet) told me though. In fact, I got a small hike. Cant read too much into the hike. Because that could be the HR policy to make sure my salary is not below the the range for my grade. I agree with you on job search. It gives that comfort since you are not desperate.

I mean the process, like bidding etc. Also, since its a short term project, one has to keep searching for new projects.

Thanks a lot for the advice. I appreciate.

Thanks a lot for the advice. I appreciate. Will do that.

Thanks a ton for the advice and encouragement. I really appreciate. I have decided to apply to a few companies/jobs which are not my preferred companies/jobs. It will help me test the waters.

Sure. Thanks

Thanks for the advice. Yes. Sometimes I think that way. ( ie wait till they fire me). But it will also hurt. So thinking of quitting gracefully. Lets see how it goes

You may be right. They must have been told by the higher management. (This is not a private equity owned company though). Thanks a lot for the advice

Sorry to hear about the pip. Wish you the best. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the advice. Somehow, I never found (Although I never tried) it interesting. May be I will give it a try. Could you tell me which are some of the best places?. Recently I got to know about toptal. Is that good?

Great question. In fact this WFH scenario makes it worse. In the in person interactions, one can interprete better. Answering your question, I got a very low performance rating for the first time. (Of course above the minimum required rating, which they had to do). My skip level manager doesn't talk/IM with me. (We were on very good terms before). If something is needed, he emails me. My direct manager also doesn't talk to me much. Only silver lining is that, its happening with a few other seniors also. (Based on what they share/my reading of the situation.) We dont have a lot of features in the roadmap. That also could be the reason. Not necessarily the performance. Recently they hired a lot of fresh grads and junior developers. Of course, I am not 100% sure that I am being pushed out. But every action points at that.

Thanks for the advice. sure

Thanks a lot for the advice. With my savings, I can afford to resign. But then, that could be a problem in the job search since they will assume, its a layoff. At the same time, holding the head high is also difficult. Which is the reason, I am pretending I am unaware of whats happening. I also know that its not very easy for them to lay me off since I have a good reputation across the group. Of course nobody is immune.

Thanks a lot for the advice. Yes. Planning to update the resume. I agree with you that 1/2 page is very effective.

Thanks a lot for your advice. Yah. I regret not making use of the opportunity.
