OTC CatchUp #191

Date: 06-07-2024

Duration: 3 hrs 09 mins

Topics Discussed

  • Nishant Goel talked about his transition to marketing. Dheeraj Lalwani asked him about how he came to that decision and how a product marketer contributes to the product.

    • Nishant Goel also discussed his startup, a podcast hosting platform, although he didn’t provide any specific details about it. He also mentioned the framework they were using for the platform.

    • We talked a bit about how selecting a framework might be related to how comfortable people are with it.

  • Dheeraj Lalwani and Arvind Singharpuria talked about things that come along with working remotely, such as the social life issues that arise from it.

    • The main reason for this is that remote workers often have limited opportunities for social interaction outside of work, as they don’t have the same level of face-to-face interaction with colleagues that office workers do.

    • Later in the meeting, Aditya Oberai brought up this topic and emphasized the importance of making conscious efforts to maintain a social life while working remotely.

  • jaden furtado contemplated why he would want to pursue a master’s degree, as it relates to personal satisfaction. Pranav Daniw inquired about his expectations from it.

  • Aditya Oberai and Pranav Daniw discussed cameras and how the images they capture, regardless of the resolution, always have better depth and overall quality compared to photos taken with a phone.

  • jaden furtado and Anil Harwani talked about how once one gets to a senior position, taking days off becomes more difficult due to the responsibilities that come with the position.

    • Anil Harwani further talked about the aspects to consider - one related to the responsibilities of your job, and the other related to your interests and working on the projects that you see worth in.

    • He emphasized that to pursue the things that truly matter to you, you may need to make certain sacrifices and put in extra effort.
