I made a change in my late 20s. Moved from graphic design to the field of UX/Product design. 
  
 Made it because it was something that interested me and I saw a lot of growth in this specialisation. 
  
 Worked on multiple projects: some as a freelance with ux designer friends and some self initiated projects. Interviewed with organisations to understand what they are looking for and tweaking my portfolio accordingly.

👋 Hey everyone! I'm a mobile developer with 2.5 years of experience in React Native and Flutter. I'm thinking about making a change and getting back into DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms). Any tips on where to start? Also, how long might it take to get interview-ready if I dedicate 1-2 hours daily and 4-6 hours on weekends? I've been applying for jobs but haven't heard back, any advice? Feeling a bit stuck in my current role and looking for a fresh start. Appreciate your thoughts! 🔄📱 #CareerChange #HelpNeeded

Software Engineer

Hi folks, I am new here so need your suggestions. I work as a research associate at a market research firm. It's wfh so I have been managing my expenses pretty well. However the work culture is horrible. We all are expected to work for 9hrs minimum everyday. And by work means, creating docs with minimal calling. The work everyday has unrealistic deadlines. I am an MBA in marketing and Hr (dual spec.). Can you suggest what I should do?

Career switch or just job change?

Research Executive

Questioning life choices currently. I think I gave taken the wrong path for myself. I don't really know what would suit me.

I know that it's alright to f around and figure out stuff early career but I'm worried about my salary and career trajectory. As in, I do not want to be stuck in entry level roles forever.

What do you think? Any anecdotes?

Would changing fields+jobs frequently affect your career/salary trajectory?

Has anyone here, moved away from Software Development to something else. Maybe in a completely different direction, like became a graphics designer, or Game developer etc. or in a similar direction, like went towards Product Management or something similar. 

If yes, then I want to know your experience with the switch, and the steps you took to make it happen. 

I got into Software engineering 2-3 years ago (attracted by the salaries) but now I just don’t feel like doing it anymore at all. 

I asked a friend who’s a PM, and his take on this was, if i wanted to keep earning how much I currently do (20-30 LPA), and want to go even further than that, then SDE is the only option, PMs do not get paid that much amount, when compared to SDEs in the longer run. 

What’s your take on this?

Switching careers

As I'm entering a new stage of life, I'm starting to reevaluate my career priorities. In my 20s, I was all about climbing the ladder and chasing prestige. Now, I'm more focused on finding work that aligns with my values and allows for a balanced lifestyle. 

Have any of you gone through a similar shift? How did it change your career trajectory? And how do you define success for yourself now versus when you first started out?

Redefining success: How have your career priorities shifted as you've grown older?

Man, this hits home. I used to be all about the fancy title and corner office. Pulled 80-hour weeks, missed family events, the whole rat race thing.

Then my dad got sick last year. Spent a lot of time in hospitals, thinking about what really matters. Realized I couldn't remember the last time I took a real vacation or had dinner with my kids without checking emails.

Ended up taking a step back at work. Less pay, but more flexibility. You know what? I don't miss the stress. Sure, the ego took a hit at first, but I'm actually enjoying work now. Plus, I'm finally learning my kids' friends' names!

Success for me now? It's about having time for the people I love and work that doesn't make me dread Mondays. Still figuring it out, but dekhte hain baaki :)

I am 32, and I am currently working in IT support (Incident/problem management. I have currently working in my company for 7 years, and I am currently very much underpaid even though my managers and management are happy with my work. 
I have tried to switch into the same domain in another companies but they are expecting me to lower down the salary, and then I came to know that this job role doesn't yield much and growth is dead end. 
So, I am looking to switch into Devops since I find it interesting after exploring other options. May I ask whether it is possible to make a switch after 11 years in the IT industry and how much realistically it is possible? I would appreciate your suggestion and feedback. Thank you

Career transition at 32 Possible??

I wish to know the pros/cons of frequently switching jobs. 
I am in a dilemma, there are posts here and there that say don't switch frequently and then there are posts that nobody cares about frequent job switches, as you are a dev.

Let's discuss ladies & gents✍️

Pros/Cons of Frequent Job Switching

Imagine you are the Hiring manager looking for a Tech Lead who is having 8-10 years of experience. 
  
 He/She has already switched 6-7 companies in the period of 9 years. Will you consider that person working for you? 
  
 I personally won’t.

What advice would you give to 20 yr old ppl? Your mistakes, regrets, necessary steps, things to avoid

How to climb the success ladder fastest? Advice for 20 yr olds

Keeping jumping companies in your early career years. Every 1-2 years. Only way to increase your package. Then start looking for stable places in your 30's.

Data engineer

I am aged 30 ,UM ,Male , have been working in IT for close to 9 years now . But I never had an option to quit this job  due to my family financial situations. Now I saved enough money for my parents. I want to switch my career to Semiconductors technology (Chip designing, Physical design etc ). I don’t have any prior experience or not even workshops experience in that field but I always wanted to be. It might sound like foolish thought, but I feel like hell here doing this job without any interest (but I always received outstanding feedback from my leadership as well as clients). If I continue here , my next designation would be Manager.

Long story but here are my questions …

1. Should I continue in IT or switch my career ? 
2. I won’t get same package as that I m getting ryt now But Does organisations accept my reason and provide an opportunity aa fresher ? 
3. As I m unmarried and don’t have anyone other than my parents as my dependents and habituated to a peaceful for quite some time, Is it a good decision to pursue my career now , knowing the fact that I might struggle with financial needs.? 

Your genuine answer could help people like me who are trapped in this kind of dilemma.. TIA
