Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I'm currently working as a DevOps Engineer in a GCC with a CTC of 28 including Bonus. I joined this org 6 months back. My work here is mostly related to kubernetes and argocd. 

I'm plan to make a switch in 2025 and want to have clear goals for next year to prepare for switch.

My current focus is to develop my skills in GoLang and increase my depth in k8s and Linux for next year. Will this skills be in demand even after a year or should I be flexible with my plan for the next year?

Context: I've 3+ YOE, my previous experience was combination of AWS serverless + infrastructure definition + kubernetes + python backend coding. But my current workload is only k8s and argo.

Also I want to touch 50 LPA in compensation or land a job outside India.

Tech stack change

Data engineer

I am working in a Pre Seed GenAI Startup (2020 Founded) as Head of Engineering (Team of 20 with 5-6 in Engineering, No CTO) 

It's been 3.5 years (3yrs Full Time + 6mon Internship) Previously it is in EdTech now in GenAI Space 

My CTC is 8 LPA + 0.45% ESOPs (10-12L in 25cr valuation). 
Skills: Nodejs, Nextjs, Monorepos, MongoDB, AWS, Serverless

1-2yrs ago we were thinking about scaling the tech team, etc but then that EdTech model started failing and then we went to a war time after that we pivoted currently also we are burning money revenue is there but very less (25% of the expense)

I was of the view that I want to lead teams and scale products That's why I was there in the team It can be the case tomorrow if we scale 

but Now I am confused whether I should switch my job and or stick with the startup maybe the startup grow tomorrow or a big VC fund us to scale (as I have ESOPs) or it will just be a waste of time or opportunity cost

Please guide 🙏 Anyone with a similar startup experience would really appreciate your help 🙏

Lead Engineer

I am a senior Data engineer(9YOE) and have worked on a large scale Data warehousing, Spark, Orchestration(Airflow) and visualization on AWS and Azure. I currently don't have scope for tech stack improvement in my current org and would like to learn and implement my personal projects. So far, I have been advised to learn golang and kubernetes so that I could deploy ML models in the future or even move into observability space. Any suggestions on what tech stack I should learn? I want to jump to startups in a couple of months and eventually move into a pure software engineering role. 
Already working on leetcode and practicing system design for the same.

Senior Data Engineer-Which Tech stack to upskill?

Recently, I've completed 1 year into my role and my CTC is 16LPA. The company is a startup, and I've got ESOPs which are included in CTC.

It has been an year, and I'm thinking of making a switch. But still can't decide whether I should bet on ESOPs and stay, or get a higher pay and switch?

The company culture is pretty good, and it's a remote role, plus not much work load. :) 

But apparently, I'm worried if everyone else is making a switching companies with a 50% raise, why should I stick with 10% appraisal at a single company?

Would love to hear your thoughts.

1 year into job, what to do next?

Product Marketing Manager

I am a DevOps Engineer in a series C funded startup.
My current compensation is 40LPA, which included 38LPA fixed, and 2LPA performance bonus.
I want to understand what my realistic expectations should be if I look out for another job.
I am open to all types of companies, be it a MNC or a well established startup.
I can be wrong by a huge margin, but I was expecting somewhere around 75LPA CTC with 70LPA fixed, given the fact that my promotion is due this upcoming December and I am expecting atleast 20% hike on my current CTC and in hand compensation.
What are your thoughts on this.
And if possible, can you guys also tell me what I should be prepared for if I get an interview opportunity for a senior level DevOps Engineer.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey everyone,
I am currently working as a security analyst working for a company that provides pentesting as a service to its clients. I am getting paid 17lpa fixed salary. I earn 80-90k from freelancing every month pre taxes.

So should I switch or not. It's been 3 years I am in this company and I can't see much growth now. I will be doing the same work. 

The work is full remote and the culture of company s also nice and workload is fine. 

What should I do?

Should I look for a product based company but most of them call onsite. I want remote work only that is mandatory.

Switch or not

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hello guys,
 
I'm currently having 1.5 years of experience and wants to shift my technology domain to kubernetes devops. Currently working on GCP. Haven't really met anyone from K8s, so how does it works! Hope there won't be a 24/7 service hours. Because the major reason I'm shifting the domain is to avoid rotational shifts!
Also how the salary hike will be? Will it worth it? I'm having knowledge in Kubernetes, docker, GCP, VMware and terraform. 
It's really hectic to find a new domain guys, so kindly share your thoughts!

Any Kubernetes engineer here? Need for advice!

What is the best startup to work with right now ?

I’m an Entry Level engineer having 1.7 years of experience in a WITCH company, mostly working on Spring, AWS, Core Java backend stack. 

I’m looking to switch to a better company for my growth as I don’t find any opportunities here and the learning has been very slow. I’m currently learning frontend (Angular) and K8s. 

Have tried giving my resumé to multiple companies everywhere but no luck. Is it very hard for someone having backend experience of 1.7 years to switch?
