My humble suggestion,  don't look at your career as means of earning money and then figuring out things to study so that you earn money. 
  Figure out what interests you! Pursue it! If nothing interests you, start from basics, start writing end to end project code yourself. That's amazing way to upskill yourself.  
     Do it, showcase to the world what you did, and you will get better jobs.

I too struck. But decided to go with the flow of my interest. Look bro!  
 If you love java and backend, go for spring boot, hibernate, aws, etc etc learn DSA and system design parallely.  
 If you dont like development try data analyst, data engineering, devops etc .  
 Don't waste time like me in dilemma. Try any technology asap

Unfortunately you have to be good at DSA, grind leetcode. First thing you need to jump out of low-paying service based company. 
 To even enjoy any tech or dev work, you need to be earning a sustainable amount. 
 IMO switch companies with the same tech that you have worked on and grind leetcode and keep giving interviews. 
 Once in a comfortable position, start exploring your interest.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I'm thinking that I haven't utilised my full potential and left behind from folks around me . 
Right now I'm 27 and earning 22LPA as an SDE. 
I'm constantly worried how can I earn better or make some skills which can bring some money too as IT industry is not stable. 
So what could be best for me to do : 
My strong point is if I focus on one thing I can put more efforts into that work. 

The options that I could think: 

1. Work on my tech skills and get into High paying IT job .
2. Pick one Govt exam and get any govt job . I'm thinking of SEBI grade A exam .
3. Pick up any skills like video editing start freelancing.
4.Prepare for MBA that might help me in longer run in corporate . 


Guys can you suggest which one area should I select and why . As if I focus on more than one I won't be able to fullfill any.

Software Developer

I have been working with Infosys for past 5years(total exp) and my current salary is 20LPA CTC. I work on Apple projects and the work has become repetitive over the last three years, primarily focusing on Java, Spring, Microservices, and Elasticsearch. I really want to join a product company now, for better compensation and more engaging work, but I’m uncertain how to proceed. 
I’ve just been writing APIs and scheduled jobs, and at this point I think I know nothing beyond it. The thought of facing the interview processes of tech giants for senior roles is daunting.  
Where should I start from? How do I regain my competence?

As a fresher in an IT company working as a backend developer, I am really confused with how to proceed ahead for growth in my career.

2. Move to devops 

I need advice which would be more feasible and why. Keeping interests aside as of now since I would be new to both domains.

Any new ideas or domains are also welcomed!

Can someone talk with me , Going through depression

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hi all,
I'm currently working at Accenture for 3.5 years as C11(Database) , I was undergoing a training in Oracle Supply Chain Management at a Online centre/startup for last 6 months.

Now that startup want me to work as full time in the SCM technology but they are offering me the same salary package im currently getting now.

The thing is they are working on many project things like SCP,SCM,WMS etc but mostly experienced persons used to take care of the technical part. Which leave me to just schedule calls,doing excel/docs, analyze in the call for hours but couldn't understand anything. I understand there is more of self learning needed than of KT.
They are telling if I work here full time after a year they will recommend me for interview packages of 1 lakh per month.

I want to know whether the Oracle Fusion SCM has a growth in market for next 10 years.

And if i work in this startup and do only documentation and not work on technical stuff will i be able to clear the interviews with high packages(1 lakh/month)

Should i take a risk and join that startup and work for a year with same package. Or should i be current technology (database) and search jobs externally?. Any of your inputs is fine please help 🙏.
