How do you find motivation to switch?

Hey I am an experienced network engineer having experience around 5.5 years but want switch my career profile as a software engineer in any good startup or product company in next 6 months. Any suggestions if it is possible or any route to take to be skilled enough to work as a software engineer.

I have Angular, DotNet, SAP cloud etc major experience in Startup as well as MNC. but still getting paid below 5LPA. I want to switch but past 1 year , it's getting demotivating feeling. I am unable to switch despite of leetcode, code chef etc.

I am working remotely at a SaaS company for 4+ years now. I started working since my final year of engineering. I joined here as a software engineering intern when the product was really new and booming. I have gotten bored of my work now, especially since I have been working from home all the time. I have very little social life. And I am getting fixed salary of about $1400 each month. I am thinking of switching to any Indian startup because I am not happy with my job being so monotonous and less pay at this level of experience. What should be the approach to crack the interviews? I have done DSA practice during my college days, but didn't crack any interviews with it. I am a full stack web developer but it doesn't excite me anymore and I want to stick to backend roles. And is it possible to crack an interview with for 30-40 LPA at this stage? Or do I have to climb up a salary ladder for a couple of years?

I’m currently a Frontend Senior Software Engineer. Mainly my work resolves around optimising web performances. Lately, I’ve feeling very unmotivated as I feel like I’m wasting my potential in my current company even though the work here is not entirely bad. Need some advice on how to handle this scenario and if switching to a bigger better company would help. If so how do I prepare for FANG level frontend interviews?

I know in job switch rejection is a part of the process but sometimes when you have high hopes for a company, which you want to join and you get rejected in the last round or in between rounds in that situation it feels very bad and it becomes very difficult to keep your momentum for a while and it affects your performance in other interviews and in your current company work also. Can you guys share your experience in these situations and how to handle these situations ?

It will be helpful to me whoever see this post and comments your respected opinions on my situation. I am ome of the regular corporate employees of India who is earning 3.6LPA in reputed MNC working on Java support. As I need assistance on my career and don't know where to ask, posting here . So below are the options I wanted to do but I am confused where and what to start. 1) Should I upskill more on Java only 2) Should I need to switch to any other domain like AWS, Azure, cybersecurity 3) Should I need to do any other integrated course which will be available in platforms like Upgrad. Why these options means, I need to earn a decent salary par with Industry. These are the random options in my mind and I am unable to choose one thing. Due to this I am stuck in my career and my friends are earning more than me.

Hello awesome Devs!! How do you keep up the motivation to grind leetcode after a regular job? For example, I am a software developer with 1 YOE and I find it boring to continue with those algorithm problems after a certain threshold. But anyway, I feel the hiring process is still the same for most and there would at least 2 DSA rounds for most of the product based companies. How do you keep up the motivation for this?

Hey grapevine folks, I want to switch to a product based company with good payscale, but finding it hard to even get one interview call. Also, is it even fine to switch right now as per market conditions? I work at a good MNC with 10 billion dollar + revenue, but I joined here as a fresher so I get paid less. I am into front-end development, specialising in Angular with 2yoe. Any leads would help greatly.

Hi all, I almost mid 30s and been in Bangalore for 2.5 years. I believe I must build a steady second income in the next 6/7 years. Dont get me wrong , i like working - and intend to do that for as long as I can , but my new employment choices may decrease with time. Yet , have no idea what I want to do. I like technical work but am not insanely intelligent - just average. Would want some feedback on how to motivate myself. I have some self diagnosed weaknesses * I am not unpleasant to talk to - but dont make or interested in making a lot of friends and interacting with people (still have not made any new friends here) Lazy definitely :)

Hi so I've been stuck at a job doing mundane support work. Have been here for a total of 2 years and have some 4 yoe in PHP backend development. I've been meaning to switch but can't seem to crack interviews. Is there a way to brush up my skills also switch up the technology stack. Current ctc 11 lpa.
