Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I know someone who got into civil engineering in a decent college (in first year). But he wants to work as software engineer in future. Apart from regular YouTube/Freecodecamp, what else can be recommended? I mean to keep a defined path or motivated to be a good developer in future? Is Codingninja any good? Or any other prep course?

Can CodingNinjas be recommended to a junior in College?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Should someone with less than 1 year experience only in internship and MS. in Data Science/ML opt for coding ninja courses for data science, dsa and interview prep?
Do they provide any placements?

How is coding ninja for job placement?

My brother has just completed 7th semester in CS from a tier 3 college. He has good aptitude and problem solving skills. He is not very passionate about anything.he just wants to learn something in demand and earn well. He just knows the basics taught as per curriculum. What is the best way for him to choose proper career path ( front end, back end, full stack etc) and learn stuff and crack good package roles. Pls share any proper roadmap blogs or YouTube channels that can help him. Thanks in advance!

Can tier 3 graduate crack good package roles?

Software Engineer

Hi,

I have been working in the Software Industry for the past 9 years. I feel like I have made a good use of my time and money and maybe some of my lessons can help you folks as well. Recently did a calculation for my NW and I am happy and proud to see my NW crossing 2CR+. I have 0 debt and do not own a house. Here is how my portfolio look like

TC: 1.3 Cr
YOE: 9

I am happy to do an AMA. Ask me anything about tech, career, love, marriage, money management, therapy, songs and movies.
#Ask Me Anything #ama #amazon #atlassian #google #startups #bengaluru #networth #money management #finance #india

Sorry if delay in responses, I'll answer all your questions eventually.

[AMA] 9 years in Software Engineering in India. NW 2.5Cr

I see a lot of similar questions and I'll try to answer them here.

>>>>>>CTC Progression<<<<

My current CTC is 1.3CR . 50% is cash, 50% is stocks.

Here is my CTC progression over the years

1st - 12L
2nd - 12L (Switched Companies)
3rd - 15L 
4th - 24L (Switched companies)
5th - 42L (Switched Companies)
6th - 48L
7th - 66L
8th - 72L
9th - 1.3Cr (Switched Companies)

As you can see I almost everytimg doubled my compensation when I switched my companies. But there are reasons to stay at a company as well. If you are learning and are able to handle different problems at scale, stay. When you feel stuck, leave and look for better opportunities. I have never switched job to get more money. I love CS. I have been coding since 15 years. What made me switch was either bad managers, uninteresting problems not visibility of learning and growth.

I am a full stack developer with 2.5 years of experience currently working at a global MNV. My current skill set includes java, angular, spring boot framework. 

I am planning for a switch. I read on the internet that to crack a MAANG or some company of that level you need to have a good understanding of Data Structures and Algorithms(DSA).

How to start with DSA preparation. I see there are a lot of resources. I feel overwhelmed by seeing all of them. 
Are there any good structured courses which teach DSA.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I have three younger cousins. They don't want to code. They have their clarity. They don't want to pursue any particular engineering stream as well. 

They want to get a decent paying job. Let's say 6-8 lpa start with a path to 15-20 lpa in 4-5 years. 

I tried advising them to not invest a lot of money and four years of time in engineering. Their family is average middle class financially. I told them that I'll advise you what all to learn like content writing, seo, data analytics etc. So do a simple course, save money and rather invest in something that matters for job. 

They did listen but did not get confidence to act. 
All three went for engineering stream. These are private colleges with tier 3ish names. Now they don't get time to put a lot of time because 8-4 is usually college time. Unlike tier 1,2 college where you get campus and a lot of freedom, the colleges usually have a lot of classes and compulsory 80% type attendance. 

Did you face similar situation? What did you advise? Do you think I was giving them right decision?

Did you try advising your cousins not to pursue engineering if they don't want to code?

Your advice is misleading. You don't become a best in class data analyst if you can't code. SEO is a shady business and there isn't growth. Even a PU graduate can do content writing or SEO. Engineering is like a passport. You use the degree to make your career. The number of people earning 20L with 5 yoe with a non engg degree is pretty low. I empathize with the 8-4 struggle. I have seen such people, but they are still better off by doing engineering than anything else. There are other core engineering career options in non-software industry, but you will have to be competitive to secure a decent job even there. There are banking, insurance etc. Even these require people to be competitive. There is no free lunch. May be in European nations, but these won't last long.

Few people asked me for my recommendations on Tech resources -

I'll divide across following sections -

1. CS Fundamentals - Its a recommended flow that you should know beyond knowing how to code. 
Follow this - https://teachyourselfcs.com/

2. DSA -
a) https://neetcode.io - Its blind 150 is awesome. Its paid courses are also decent
b) CLRS book (How can we leave that?)

3. System Design resources -
a) System Design interview Vol 1 and 2 - Alex Xu OR you can take annual subscription of their website - https://bytebytego.com

a) For beginners to experienced - https://codingchallenges.fyi/challenges/intro
b) For experienced folks - (codecrafters.io) https://app.codecrafters.io/r/adorable-eagle-556273 (Referral)

5. Software Engineering -
What Software Engineering truly is? - Software Engineering at Google Book(Oreilly)

6. DevOps / AWS -
a) AWS course - https://learn.cantrill.io/ - To learn more in depth than just passing certifications
b) Other DevOps resources - kodekloud.com (all devops tools, especially kubernetes ones are good)
c) What SRE truly is? - Site Reliability Engineering book (Oreilly)

7. Promotions / Impact / Growing in the role -

Software Engineering Resources Recommendations

Consultant

First year college student enrolled in a Computer Science & Engineering (Data Science) degree in a Tier 2 college.

Talked to a few engineers living in my PG. They said to learn Java and DSA 'cause they are evergreen fields.

Python is being taught in college since it is used more in data science.

What would you suggest?

What techstack should I learn?

I am a 2023 grad from a tier-3 college. I had 2 offers:

1. 6 months Intern + FTE, tech role, CTC 13, consulting company. Offer got deferred to December. Internship also got cancelled citing reasons related to recession.

2. Mass recruiter, CTC 6. Most likely deferred as no communication with company.

What should I do now? For the time being, I am interning at a startup to avoid gap in resume. Shall I start freelancing? I have 4 months of prior internship experience in React and Node.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

2023 Grad's offer revoked to Dec

My brother is good with robotics, drones and stuff. He has been creating around it since his 5th standard. Though he is from Tier 3 college and now he is in final year. Leaving all that behind he started studying DSA. 

I am into software development. But I would like to know where he can apply for robotics and the stuff. I didn't find much openings. He has exceptional skills when it comes to hardware and building prototypes.

Any recommendations will help. I want him to follow his dreams and not to be just another software developer.

Thanks!

UX/UI Designer

Hey all, I'm a Commerce final year student. I have a decent amount of knowledge in Finance however I wanted to learn more about Coding in Python for Finance. I'm hearing quite frequently now that Python is a desired skill and could be used to automate tasks so thought I might as well work on that.

Just wanted to know if Python is the preferred language that I should be going with and also if there are any resources that I could refer to, that'd be great!

Keep in mind please I'm an absolute beginner, with no knowledge of coding whatsoever.

Hi friends, 

My brother has done his MCA in the year 2017 and post that he didn't join any campus due to family business and during covid when our business was at its lowest time he decided to explore outside hence joined Adani groups as a product supervisor and currently working with Emami agrotech as a warehouse incharge... 

But now he want to make a career switch to software Field... Can anyone suggest what does he need to do to make so happen? Any demanding course or Institute who will offer guaranteed placement after course completion reference is what I need as part of  your suggestion... Kindly do comment if you have any.. 

Thank you in advance 🥰🥰

Suggestions for career switch

As the question says I’m interested in learning to code. Background: the closest I’ve come to coding is writing SQL/R code. 
Last weekend I started with Harvard CS50 class on Edx and I’m interested in pursuing this further. I’m aware of websites like W3CSchools and Replit. But if someone can suggest a path, I’ll be super grateful

How to learn coding (non tech background )

So confused right now. I am a 3rd year engineering student and know about datascience and ML and  have surface knowledge about everything. Now I am thinking to move completely  to netwoking rather that core coding and have wasted a lot of time in that. Any suggestions or opinions.
