keep yourself subscribed

I don't encourage you spending all your time on social media or keeping the notifs on if you're working on something serious. I don't do that personally. Sharing my knowledge on social media is a necessity as I don't have my platform right now, but it also vies for your attention all the time which is against productivity.

Therefore, If you want to know when a newsletter is out, or a podcast episode, or a live session is scheduled, this is the one place. Just join the page and switch ON the notifs for this one page.

I like the fact that in Telegram you can control the notifs at page level on your phone.

intro 👋

Hello! Please understand I am writing this with all positive intention. But, I am not reading my DMs anymore. Read ahead..

Understand that I have a full time job, and I try to help people in whatever time I get after office. I can't possibly scale to reply to every DM I get, with my posts reaching lacs of people every week, I can't do 1:1 replies. If you're here, chances are that you sent something in DM the answer to which can be found here.

If you don't find the answer below, then I am sorry, I'll add it sometime. You can meanwhile follow my work and witness me transforming students' lives.

Dear Recruiter,

First of all thanks for contacting me for the role which you have in mind. Let me tell you that I am extremely happy and contented at my current workplace. It provides a competing salary, a challenging environment and world class culture.

However, I am always open to better opportunities. But finding a time to get on a call for every inMail/message/opportunity is tough. So, let's continue this async form of communication where you give me details of the job and let me decide if I want to pursue it further.

Few details which I am looking for:

• Salary range Kindly do not ask my current CTC as I am not supposed to tell you that. As a recruiter, you're very much aware of the competing salary ranges in my domain with relevant experience. If the recruitment process requires the knowledge of my current CTC, I am sorry but I won't be further interested into that.
• Company Name If not an extremely famous brand, then please provide company's URL and background.
• Profile I do not pe

Book on Productivity

Introduction

Many a times, I get this question, "Tanay! How are you able to do so many things?". I wish I had a straight answer but I don't have one. I do a lot many things which constitute my habits, my routines, my way of thinking about money, people and time. So, I thought if people are finding it amazing that a regular guy is doing a lot after his job then I must write it down. And thus came the idea of writing a free e-book.

Process

I am a programmer. I want to write the book in an agile process. Which means it needs to be source controlled as well. Here's what I am thinking will be the idea book publishing process:

DS & Algo learning issues

In a comment, put down the problems you face while learning Data Structures and Algorithms. As far as I know, there's enough content on Internet. There are thousands of books around this topic as this is the major way you get a job.

Still, I see students complaining about it. So, tell me what is stopping you?

Be honest if you're just being lazy around putting an honest effort.
