Career

Hi I have completed my BTech cse from tier3 college but I had no interest in coding at all and now I am confused what to do next . Like should I start preparing for govt job or start preparing for gate and then do masters or should I go for mba and simultaneously prepare for govt job ? I'm stuck at these as I am afraid if I don't clear gate or govt exam then ? And also gap of 1 year

Ans: Kamaldeep, I fully empathise with your predicament, happens to all successful people in studies, job. I encourage you to believe in yourself and aspire to be among the best in the field of coding. God made every human to be successful, and you too are among them. Put in all the commitment, effort and dedication to follow the path you have chosen. Count your blessings that despite no interest in coding you earned a CSE degree. There are a set of tools today like 'CodeChef' that let you challenge your mind and improve your coding skills.

Assume that you on a path of no return--because use the confidence with which you hope to crack GATE, get admission in MTech to master coding. If you follow the current path with dedication I can assure you that you will come back to me in a few months that you are doing well in a job with lots of passion for coding.

My child has started asking me questions about body changes, puberty and where babies come from after hearing conversations among classmates. I want to answer honestly rather than make these topics feel embarrassing or forbidden, but I’m unsure how much information is appropriate at this age. When should parents begin age-appropriate conversations about puberty, body boundaries and personal safety, and how can we explain these subjects in a way that builds trust without confusing or frightening children?

Ans: It depends on the child's age. Give age appropriate answers, always the truth but not too much information whichay overwhelm a small child. Ask what the child has heard and then decide how to give a truthful answer

In my office, my manager has started expecting us to complete work much faster because we now have AI tools to help us. For example, if a task earlier took two hours, they feel it should now be done in 30 minutes. But even after using AI, we need time to check facts, make corrections and ensure the final work is accurate. Sometimes, I feel that instead of reducing our workload, AI is making our targets more difficult. How can I explain to my manager that using AI does not mean every task can be completed instantly?

Ans: Dear

Thanks for a very good question.

Please note have every technology has a learning curve, meaning it takes time for us humans to adapt and adopt that technology.

It's like learning to ride a bicycle initially it took time and we might have thought of by this time I would have better walked to my destination. But once we learn to ride thalen we know the benefit.

My suggestion would be have an open conversation with your manager and share this scenario. Assure them that while the technology is indeed helping but due to initial learning curve time taken is a bit longer and as you keep learning both the quantity of time taken and quality of work output would increase for good.

I am sure your manager would appreciate it.

Hope this helps, all the best.

Whenever I apply for leave, I send an email to my senior well in advance, but many times I don’t get a response until the leave date is very close. I then have to remind him again about the email I had already sent. What makes me feel uncomfortable is that I have noticed a few colleagues get an immediate response when they ask for leave, without having to follow up. This sometimes makes me wonder whether my requests are being ignored or whether there is some difference in how my senior responds to different people. Is it better to speak to my senior directly about the delay, and how can I do that without sounding like I am complaining or comparing myself with my colleagues?

Ans: Dear

Thanks for the question.

Well I steady of comparing who gets the response when, I would suggest you follow what you have given as an answer. Talk to your senior and let them know that early reply would help you, as you can plan your workload properly. I am sure your senior would appreciate your point.

All the best.

In my office, I sometimes notice that when someone makes a small mistake, people keep talking about it for days, but when someone does good work, nobody seems to notice much. I have also seen colleagues become extra careful around certain people because they are afraid their mistakes will be discussed by others. Because of this, some employees hesitate to try new things or take responsibility for a task. Is this kind of workplace behaviour common, and how to deal with it?

Ans: Hello Dear

Thanks for this question, very relevant.

Few things, what is the size of your company and what percentage of people keep talking. I am assuming that say there are 50 people in your company and say 5 to 10 people keep talking. That's 10% to 20% of the total strength. Although I would doubt it would be 20% but still let's take that as a number.

My suggestion would be ignore this lot and focus on your work, because that's what 80% of the work force is doing.

Every organisation has gossip uncle and aunt, it's best to ignore them and focus on your work. As they say what you do is so profound that I cannot hear what you say.

Hope this helps.

All the best, have a great career.

In some offices, I have noticed that people who are friendly with the boss, talk to them often or spend time with them seem to get more attention and better opportunities. On the other hand, some employees work hard, complete their tasks on time and focus on their responsibilities, but they may not get the same recognition because they don’t interact much with seniors. I sometimes wonder whether doing good work is enough to grow in a career or whether we also need to maintain good relationships with our managers and other senior people?

Ans: Hello

Very good question.

Please note just as in computer there is hardware and software, so also is in work place.

Hardware of the work place is deliverables, commitment, responsibilities, adhering to company culture.

While software is good and cordial relationship, politeness and bit of socialisation.

Organisation are not country clubs where we go for having good time and merely to socialise. None the less we being a social animal we do want to be professionally social.

Hope this helps. All the best.

Ans: Hi,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
The assessment is not solely based on income; it considers income from other sources (INCOME FROM TRADE, RENT, ETC). However, since your parents are government employees, it's important to identify which class they belong to, as this determines the applicable category. Kindly provide the relevant details so we can clarify your concerns.

BEST WISHES.
