Bro you’re like an underrated song which nobody knows, until a small part of that song goes on viral on reels and everybody knows abt the song and no one would listen it fully!! Everyone demands for “knowledge sharing” but only very few imbibe them with an open, neutral, modest, unbiased mindset. It’s been 7 years since I started watching you, I have seen instances where people call you arrogant, narcissistic etc but to me I feel more relatable to you, I don’t know if I’m like this since birth or am becoming like you since I admire you a lot… Love you bro, keeping growing..❤🎉

this is the best description of his content I saw so far

[@sagarjaiswal402]

Varun is the real OG. I loved the part where it says - your salary has to make sense in the P&L & other pointers. Beyond that, to sum it up - success take 15-20 years and he had me there. Super insightful. Please share this deck!

"Your salary has to make sense in the P&L" - What does this mean exactly can you please elaborate. Thanks!

[@amoghskulkarni]

I have no idea how I stumbled upon this, don't even know what the channel is about, but I can see the conviction and genuineness he's talking with, about some of the hardly talked about things in this sphere. As a 30+ person, trying to jumpstart the halted career with unconventional ways, this is a great talk to prep myself with. Kudos on providing value and not just content (I wish these words didn't mean different). I am halfway through the talk, and will edit this comment once I have completed watching it entirely.

[@Shahin-zahir]

Hey mate that some solid lessons. Worth each minute, as a founder and previously working as an employee its so much relatable. Been following you for almost 5 years (avalon meta), enjoyed most of your contents and finally commenting on one for the first bcs this is hard truths. Sharing to my co founders. Thanks mate. Cheers to more harder yet worthwhile shts, we will figure it out :)

[@yuvrajkol]

This is one of the best videos I have ever watched on KZbin, aside from some crazy tutorials. I have always had a doubt about how to perform in a company right after coming out of college, and how to tackle being a professional from both a mindset and skillset perspective. Thank you for these insights. Really helped.

I got an ad of a person being like "how many streams of passive income do you have , do you still work everyday" while watching this video. The irony is really funny and proves the importance of this video.

[@wordsbydivya]

This is like a solo podcast & not just normal varun mayya video. I just want to add one point here, which I think soo many would've added but still I want to share & it's that when I was growing up society & people who were working in private & IT sectors used to scare when it came to grabbing first job/internship & when I actually went it was normal & new experience for me. Scaring should be wiped out & guiding to the Young generation should be prioritised more which millenials are doing right now.

[@sudhanshurai3424]

This is a really interesting perspective, instead of scaring someone and at least contributing to 1% of someone's betterment can add so much wisdom in this society.

[@rakshanand7980]

broo as a fresher i switched job in just 25 days just a few days back and I made so many mistakes during my time there that I regret very much. if only this video was posted one month earlier I could have made a smooth transition. every day when I started fo working in that company I used to watch 1hr of yt on how to behave in a company and got the same content in those 10min videos which never gave the whole picture

[@prateeksingh2125]

The thing about the "test" is very right. The test for me was for training a model on to perform brain tumor segmentation and preparing a pipeline for survival prediction of the patient using the segmented tumor data. It was during my internship, I had never worked with 3d images and i was fearful that i would fail. But after failing too many times and pulling that task at last alone, gave me a huge confidence boost. Yeah, but these "tests" never end!

[@hafeezhmha]

Wow, currently, the test for me is to train a model for some custom image segmentation and I do feel like this is the 'test'

[@narud9531]

An absolute knowledge well! Firstly, thank you so much for making this accessible to all of us. Can't imagine the kind of exposure the folks at your office are gaining. One thing I couldn't help but notice is how you say "guys and girls" instead of just guys- a small correction and but a huge impact on how I started perceiving your content and your brand. The intentionality really comes through. All the best and manifesting bigger success your way.

Been watching your videos since you had 30k subs. Totally worth it!

[@mugdhanbapat]

All the best with your proposal. When you propose it, make sure you’re respectful of the earlier process but show how you can improve it with your suggestions. Make it sound like you are refining what they’ve built so far. People always resist change. Go sweet and slow on them. Another thing, innovation comes in the first 18 months. You’re old enough to have observed the current system. You’re new enough to accept change. You’re at the right mark. ATB!

[@siddharthchopda4669]

Truly worth it to spend 1.5 hours on this video! For a bit now, I've been feeling pressurised due to my own thinking and felt left behind because I'm not making crazy money. But this gave me a clear picture. Also I feel in the right track as i've really been able to stay committed day in and day out for more than a year with my current company. Lots of love to you for this amazing content piece.

I'm working full time and I just started my own sneaker company, I've learnt a lot from this, including the fact that I wont be taken seriously until I'm able to bootstrap it into a successful business. Sending this to my co-founders, every second of this video is worth it.

Man! that was one hell of a presentation. Exceptional Fluency and articulation, both language and content. Haven't realized that more than an hour has passed. Well done varun!

[@anjalijain7847]

The part where Varun mentions about people asking for crazy salaries, i understand the kind. One of my friend constantly asks me to quit my job here and change companies so I can get a salary hike quickly. But I always feel like, even if I'm paid more, will I be able to do justice to my salary, because I'm still learning and I haven't driven any real results. For example, we hired an experienced person for a role at a fairly big cost but 4 months later the company had to fire the person because there wasn't any active participation from their end. Companies might hire you, but if you bring no real value, no one will keep you.

It's funny how most of your internet feed is crap you know isn't anywhere close to reality, but yet it messes with you, your expectations and your actions. But once in a while some people just come along tell obvious facts, things you already know, and it brings you back to your senses and this feels enlightening and instils a sense of peace in you. I guess accepting the truth isn't easy, and it helps if someone puts it in words for you. Thank you for this @VarunMayya !

Thanks a ton, man, this has given me great clarity. I am not a hustler, nor do I have marketing chops. I am 23, with a bachelor's in design. I have been working at a small agency as a brand designer for almost a year. During the time I have been at this job, I was constantly bothered by Instagram stories of my friends in New York, Italy, Singapore, etc., doing their masters in design, friends starting their own businesses, my parents always asking me about further studies, and my internal monologue labeling myself as unambitious. But If I am being honest, I truly enjoy my job; the pay is decent-ish, I work with a lot of talented people in design, tech and business, I like the company's values, and I get a lot of time to pursue my personal endeavors like drawing, music, etc. Maybe all this while, I just needed to be a better employee. I always thought this would be something temporary and stopped myself from fully trying hard. I am personally invested in their story as a brand. and maybe I'll stay a bit longer and put the work like I mean it.

I started working only 8 months ago at a 2 year old startup of 10 people. I interned for 3 months before joining full time. 80% of whatever's said in this video, I understood during my time here as an intern. One coz my founders are transparent about most stuff and two, because when you work at a startup, you aren't treated as an employee; you are accountable for your part as an equal. You see everything so closely that you kinda understand the workings of starting a company. It's not as glamorous as the media makes it and not everyone's cut out to be a founder.
