Advices for someone who is just starting their tech journey

I've turned 27, roughly 3yoe earning 50k which is low but I'm upskilling. Currently due to layoffs, AI news and just a very unhealthy state of IT things are getting very depressing and I personally feel like I've already lost or missed in life. People are planning to get married around me everything is so sudden. People of grapevine, what advice would you want to give people like me who feel lost. Any general advice such as financial planning, lifestyle changes or just tech advice any advice which has helped you to live peacefully and comfortably would be greatly appreciated.

Background: I'm about to start my corporate journey and one of the advices I recieved was "Don't take things personally, and treat most feedback as a chance to improve and not resent!" What would you advice your younger self, about to step out in the corporate world? Drop some wisdom!

Hey everyone. Thought I could do an AMA. A bit about me - have 4 years of work experience and graduated from a non engineering college. Was at a startup before (from Series B to Series D) before becoming a VC Personally look at consumer and B2B investments here Happy to answer any questions around life as a junior VC, startup ecosystem, career growth etc.

I work for company a. Company a places me in company b for work. Last month I was told I will be leaving. I made peace with at as I felt very bad. I had done the majority of the work. A day before I was told I will be working on a different mobile tech. Company a told me that company b is kicking me out. Now after a month before 3 days of leaving and after giving kt I was told by company 2 that I will be retained. They told me it is because they like my work etc. I think it is because I had told them when they asked me of the amount of work left on the app. I said it is a huge amount of work. Also the company b was a bit friendly when talking an mentioned some problem with my contract was there as well. From what I think Either comonay a asked for more money after hearing that I have been asked to work on mobile. Company b said no and I was let go. Later comonay b realized they need me so they agreed. Or company b kicked me and then realized they still needed to decided to continue. Company b has some toxic people to work for. When I ask for a raise in company a I am told maybe just 5% or even less than that. What should I do.

What that one advice you would like to give for a person who just started working in IT Sector? Pour you hearts out, people 😀

Professional career related advice

To the senior people in the industry I need your advice badly. My background: I am a 2023,CSE graduate from NSUT Dwarka (Tier -1) college. I had an offee from company with CTC of 12LPA and that offer got revoked. Currently I am working in a service based startup with peanuts as sallary. The work I am being assign here is mainly of Langchain and ML(which I don't have much interest in but can do if required).How do you get out of this company and should I stay here just for experience for atleast one year. please drop your valuable suggestions

A little about myself: 22, just graduated Btech CS from tier 1 college, got placed in a few tier 1 companies, baniya (relevant), and good at engineering in general ( won several actually honourable awards internationally, from government of India, some IIT random techfests, etc). Point of telling this being to get some credibility for the readers so that they don’t take me as a young dumb overconfident 20yr old. (maybe I am?) I really want to earn money, probably in my genes, my father wants the same for me. My dad has a decent wholesale business (around 1cr per year profit) and I don’t mind moving in it as well. It’s recommended to stay sometime in corporate to learn the nitty gritties of life and other aspects. I don’t mind that either. Personally, I want to get into entrepreneurship, but again it’s easier said that done, how to start, idea, implementation and everything else it’s just the tip of the iceberg. People of my age (some of them being close to me as well) have started their ventures and have got funding upto 500k USD and it makes me jls. I’ll be probably joining an MNC and will stay for around 1 year and then see how it goes. I’ll be really helpful if fellow grapeviners can shed some words of wisdom on how to go on here to a startup/business/high earning journey?

I have 3 years of experience in frontend. I usually look for jobs by creating profile on Naukri and expecting calls from recruiters. Also, I apply directly on company portals. My question to the grapevine community is how should I find good companies? What I usually do is search up great places to work list or top tech companies on G2. I also apply based on LinkedIn jobs / posts about openings and from Instahyre and Wellfound. Sometimes I do ask for referrals. Is there any other ways to look up on good tech companies? What do other grapeviners do?
