Basically you want to be an individual contributor?

You still work with other people, take part in meetings etc. My condition is that there's no co-worker interaction.

Trading, watch lot of videos, it’ll take couple of years but you should be able to learn and earn from trading.

Yeah, this option is there. I have a friend who started trading right after college, and now makes 20LPA gains from it. Are you aware of any other option?

I'm exploring other career options where I don't need to interact with people, and be answerable to anyone else but myself.

Do you have any in mind? One obvious choice is stock market trading. Anything else?

Careers where you don't interact with people and still make decent money?- Grapevine

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.

Career dilemma

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

I am in IT. Coding n all that. But i think I’m meant for something else. I’m more of a artistic person than logical(i guess). I prefer fixed rule/law based work than spontaneity (except in humor. I'm humorous ).

I won’t be leaving IT anytime soon, but i need suggestions on what suits me. Guys tell me no🙏🏼

Career switch?

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.

Business Development Manager

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey Grapeviners, 

I need some serious help. 

Bit about myself - just graduated this month and working as an APM at a seed stage startup. I have 1.5 years of product experience and 3 years of overall experience. 

Lately, not sure why but I am loving what engineers do. Closely working with them, and I guess it's nostalgic for myself. Because I did coding for 6 months and moved on for some reason. So, I understand how tech actually works. Have got good feedback regarding this. 

At the same time, I am not really finding the true value of what I am doing everyday. Feels a void inside. 

Also, I am not able to discuss all these things in person with someone, because I fear that they will judge me after doing internships for 3 years, I still haven't figured out my career. Such a loser I am. 

I have been thinking about starting coding again and maybe switching to a coding job in the next 6 months maybe. But again it would be tough for me as I only got weekends for me to learn all this stuff. 

What do you all experienced folks suggest? What should I do? 

Please comment if you can help🙏

Switching from PM to Engineer

Hi All,

I Joined this Irish-American tech consulting company  in 2021 with a 130% hike & 3.8 YOE. 
I learnt a lot of new things and made some really good connections within 1.5 years.Now the work has been saturated to a point where I no longer write code , but only review it while approving the prs of juniors. Also I don't like the way the people at the client side run the project. 
Even if I ask for a change in a project I know for a fact that either it will take at least 6 months or the other project will be mostly like be support work.  
Please help me come up with a polite reason that's not about higher education or salary. 
I have an offer from Deloitte and TCS currently with a 50 % hike.

Reason to resign from a good company.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Hello community,
I have 5 YOE 
Current CTC: 25 Lpa
Working with MNC in bangalore, unmarried 
Apart from this i have 7Lkhs of Auto loan left which was of 4 years, I don’t wish to prepay that. 

Do you have any suggestions if I want to quit job market in coming 10 years and do something of my own or attempt something remote coz I don’t see myself in bangalore in coming years.

How am I doing till now?

Hi,
I have almost 8 YOE in software development. I was in my comfort zone and spent 6.5 years in a service based Indian MNC on a legacy project, where I only did what was assigned. I don't think I have good skills in the technology I was working on. 

Then I switched and I wasn't informed but when I got into the new company which did pay me much better, my technology got changed. Now earlier I was working on a very highly used technology, but now I am on a niche technology which is less used and might disappear in say 10 years.

I am worried about the future.
I don't know if I should go back to the technology in which I was working earlier (C#.net), or learn a newer tech like data science or AI and try to start fresh or continue with the one I am working on(a Telecom billing solution).
Can you please suggest to me the path?

Need help with career path

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hi, I am a 21yr old interested in Talent Acquisition as a career path but I am also interested in making a lot of money (50LPA+) as I progress in the field. 

I’ve done my research using Glassdoor & Levels.fyi but I want to hear from real people on whether such a salary is possible in Talent Acquisition specifically at Director or Sr. Manager Level? (so like 10-15 years down the line for me). I know HRBP pays more but I can’t be arsed to plan parties (employee engagement) or keep attendance trackers (performance review), I enjoy matching talented people with the right companies more.

Salary for Talent Acquisition Senior positions

my_qualification: B.Tech IT from tier-3 college. 70%
I am 24 years old. I graduated in 2021 and had total 13 backlogs during UG and it took me 5 years to complete my degree. I am unemployed since my graduation and have been wasting my time on learning random things or multiple technologies at a same time. 2 months ago I decided to go to Canada for masters and my family supported me, my friend suggested me MS Data Science because he is Data Scientist in Canada. So, I gave IELTS in March and scored 7 band. Recently I had a talk with an Agency named Canam. And they suggested me to get Experience Letter + offer letter + LOR from employer + last 6 months payslip also Backlog Certificate from college but I don't have any of these things. What should I do in this situation? How should I move forward? How can I get my life on track? I'm just confused and not sure what should I do.

How can I get my life on track? What should I do in this situation?

Frontend Engineer

I am a front end developer with 3 years of experience. I don't want to continue my career in this field.

What are some other options I can go for. The problem is how do I switch the company if I want to change my role.

What are some options for non technical roles or the ones which don't require much coding.

Non technical roles

I am 24. I am at a job which I am good at, but it doesn't make me happy. I want to try out different things in life(tech and non-tech alike) and figure out what's truly fun for me, all the while outgrow myself from my comfort zone. 

Anyone who has felt like this or has successfully done this, need inputs/thoughts on how to proceed

I wish to try out different things. How do I go about?

Consultant

Hey folks, i hope you all are doing well!

I have around 6 yrs of experience now including 6 months of internship in Enterprise Support role for Kubernetes product in a big Product based MNC.

I have been in the same company for 5.5 years post my internship, within these 5.5 years I switched to our cloud services team like a DevOps role 2 years back. 

My role is a Senior Software Engineer but I am not coding much rather its mix of both Operations and Coding sometimes, because of which my development knowledge is rusty and also my DSA too. But I have been able to get things done which are necessary as a part of my daily job. Be it feature development, releases, operations and troubleshooting customer environments. So performance wise I’m doing well I believe. And I’m getting below package.

So I got hikes also the package I’m getting is around (35 LPA Fixed + 5 Lacs bonus) have stocks around 10 lacs(just 2.5 lacs per year) 

Now the main point is even though I’m earning sone money 

1] I’m not learning much from the software development perspective and I think work wise I don’t have much experience in pure development, so now I’m stuck how can I make a move to a good unicorn startup as a SDE/SRE? Please suggest any ideas to make such a move.

2] I strongly believe that I’m earning less than what I should be earning after spending 6 yrs in IT. Nowadays 3-4 So now I’m thinking of switching to a different company but again the point [1] comes in my way.

3] How much minimum amount of I should be earning as a base salary, bonus and stocks in a big product MNC or a Bangalore startup ? 

Looking for advices to learn and which way should I be taking to learn more and get a job where I’ll be doing proper Dev work, please advice on the way to take to do this transition.

Thank you!

Any suggestions??

How to begin life on our own

Founder

To tell in one line: I know I am not CEO material. I am not ok with the never ending corporate rat race and it's time to optimise my time and start building something on my own. The game is rigged towards high end degrees and rightly so. 
I don't want to aim for a unicorn level but a simple trader who rakes in 2 lakh a month - that's the level I want to achieve and grow at a steady pace.

Analytics Manager

I'm a recent graduate exploring potential career paths in the tech industry. I find companies like Google and Microsoft fascinating and have a good understanding of their software. However, I don't enjoy coding and can't see myself doing that as a career. What are some career options in tech that don't involve coding and pay really well in India?

Exploring tech careers without coding: any high-paying options in India?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

So, I'm a graduate from BBA and I'm working with a small to medium sized organization with around 200 people.

I'm a guy.

It's in Education Sector.

I joined right after my graduation. The first year, I did nothing so I was given a formality hike of 5k. They offered me 20k initially p.m.
Now my 2nd year working here is completed so now, I have done more than 25 major roles which no one can do.

That makes up work of more than 20+ people.

Now that i asked for a raise, they are saying they are in losses and they don't have the budget and shit.

The only reason I'm working here is that I love the Manager aka Director.

He has been like a mentor, when I was facing hardship, he has given me money without even a second thought.

I have been discussing this with him.

Now he was saying the organization might increase my salary to 30k. I'm like the fuck are you even speaking.

I really don't wanna leave the organization because of this person at the same time I don't wanna stay in an organization which doesn't give an absolute crap about me.


Please tell me what shall I do.

These are the points I raised:

1. I need to get paid for the value I give. I have done more than 20+ peoples works. Even if you hire some incompetent people, the time, value and efforts would cost more than to pay me.

His counter: Treat this organization as a cost-cutting and work with me on other businesses and which he offered me to compensate with if I work there

My thought: if I work here, and get compensates there. What about the work do there? How will I be compensated?

2. We are ready to pay more to people who do jackshit work but we have policies to people who actually do work?
They have gone over the budget for people who talked big and did absolute shit.

His counter: We are in losses and we might not have the budget

My thought: So we are doing cost cutting by hiring shitty people for more money and compensating it by paying the valuable people jackshit?

Please help me

Thanks!
