TCSer dilemma- No jobs outside - No projects Inside

I will finish 2 years in may, I worked as business analyst for 1 year 8 months and took release in order to get into a React Js project, I gave rmg all my skills, he said he could not get me a project on those skills, I am rejecting all the support projects, he threatened me saying people are getting released from company if they are not taking projects, (I cleared digital few months ago) Cut to the present- I am working on L1 Sap support, every day I feel like quitting the company, I might have applied for around 400 companies easily in the past 1 month I received call from 2 and neither had scheduled interview after knowing the notice period, If I dont take a decision now I wont be able to crack interviews later as days pass the experience I need to fake also builds, My options: 1. I thought I will keep my papers after the current hike and revoke it if I do not get any offer 2. Fight with the current manager for release on the basis of the 2 year contract he recently told, which was not mentioned while I was taken into the project. 3. Do my learnings parallelly and when I get an offer I will leave the company My current level of understanding in react is moderate, I have done few small projects and I helped one of my friends in his project for some time and I feel that I can crack interviews. Please give your suggestions, its a life thats going to change if i stay here for 2 more yrs I will come out with 0 exposure and 4 yrs experience.

Take the plunge. It is risky alright but you’ll have to start somewhere eventually. If you believe in your skills, you’d get far.

Going through exactly same experience in infy. I am lying about notice period, got one interview so far, my first interview after infosys interview 2.5 years ago, and I failed miserably. Only way I see is to keep shooting till you hit something.

I agree to the point they threaten but see one thing what you actually want and how much you can give yourself to build your knowledge in React post on knome find project for yourself from knome talk to your manager for release talk to HR and do it . If you feel switching is not an option for you right now else best option is to switch put papers and concentrate on

Bhai, TCS is not a jail, it's a company. You're not a prisoner, you're an employee. If you're unhappy, leave. But remember, "Ghar ki murgi daal barabar." Are you ready to face the real world?

Thinking of taking 5-6 months break and switching to Freelancing

Hello everyone, currently I am in a service based company earning 9 lpa as a frontend developer(React) for 4 months. Before that I was in Tcs for 1.5 years. I am not happy in the current project. Changing project is not possible. I am thinking of resigning and taking 5-6 months to start freelancing as frontend/full-stack developer or start preparing for product based companies. What are your opinions?

Should I resign?

I hate what I’m doing rn. It isn’t interesting, and it consumes most of my day. I travel almost 30km every day to go to the Client’s office, and by the time I get home, I’m beaten and dead tired. I want to get into a Full Stack/Backend role. But, I don’t have any time to grind DSA, or work on any side projects, or even my passion projects. I’m seriously considering resigning, and putting my head down and grinding it out for a few months to give myself a better chance to switch. What do you folks think? Should I put in my papers?

Capgemini

Stuck in tech support

Hi , I joined Capgemini as a fresher in last December and I was somehow mapped to a support project and as a freshers I couldn't say no to the project . Its been 7 months already and I haven't learnt anything because my work doesn't require any technical skills but I have managed to learn python and its frameworks and few things like RestAPI,git, docker, etc. I have also done few basic projects based on authentication and Crud operations in django.I wish to pursue my career in backend development but I find it so difficult to find an opportunity as a fresher with 3 months of notice period. I was planning on resigning in September and by the time i finish my notice period I'll be having 1 yoe and mean while apply for other companies if i dont find any job atleast I'll take up some intership in that way I can lear stuff. I dont know if I am thinking or planning things right. Your thoughts or suggestions would matter a lot for me at this point.
