Challenging the challenger!

Challenging the challenger!- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

A month ago I had 2 good offers. One was from a stable start up which had good salary and amazing perks and one from a company which has a good brand and decent benefits. 

Naturally, I took up the one that has good brand value. I was hired for python automation, which has always been my domain. Now, it's been a week since I'm in this project and they want me to take up the maintenance part in python automation and start looking into another project that involves Java, javascript, testng and mocha.

I'm already stressed because the existing framework is huge and very well written. I'm still trying to grasp the python automation framework part. 

Now this new challenge. How should I react??

Need some advice

Quality Assurance

Hi Folks,

My company is moving towards Quicksight from Power bi and my team is against this change. We want some good points to defend the usage of power bi over quicksight. It would be great if you could suggest some major features that are in power bi but not quicksight. And also shortfalls for quicksight. We would not be interested in using any other services of AWS except the quicksight. Please help in this regard.

So basically I don't hesitate in challenging the interviewer if I feel like they don't know how to interview a senior candidate

so during many interviews, this is how I have caught them off guard:

1. The interviewer was asking me technical questions and expecting to explain properly throughout. So at the end i asked him about the tech stack they use, he said Azure. I asked him why they use Azure and not AWS, to which he said "it's cheaper", i didn't let it go, i asked him for a proper technical explanation, his red face was worth seeing.

2. The interview asked me a hard DSA question, and I wasn't able to solve it properly, he didn't even give me enough hints, just expected me to solve it. So halfway I asked him, would you like to solve a DSA if I ask you right now, he said no because it's not his interview. To which I asked, are you afraid that you won't be able to solve? If you are going to reject me for not solving this question, would you resign if you aren't able to solve the question. He ended the call.

3. One interviewer was asking me absurd technical detailed questions. I asked him why are you asking such questions, he said he needs to know my thought process because he will work with me. I started asking him similar questions, he said he won't answer because it's not his interview. I said I also need to know your thought process because we'll work together, so you should also answer these questions, he had no reply.

4. The interviewer asked me about a challenging project that I had done recently. I don't like this question at all. So I said there wasn't any challenging project because I'm good at what I do so it's always easy for me. He moved on to the next question.

5. HR asked me why I resigned without an offer? I asked if it's mandatory? No reply.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Ask me anything except my company name, or things that can reveal my identity. I may respectfully choose not to respond to your question based on my own judgement.

Here’s a brief intro about me: I’ve worked as both software engineering manager & software technical architect over the last 18+ years on various tech stacks managing backend, frontend and a little bit of cloud. I have seen ups and downs in the software industry. Currently I’m working as a senior architect in one of the product based companies in India.

I’ve been an Engineering Manager before. Ask me anything.

Share your greatest challenge so far(personal or professional)? 
Let others learn from your experiences.

P.S: I need some motivation to get through everyday mental grind..

Biggest challenge and it’s learning

I know this will sound like a very biased opinion but just sharing my 2 cents of today’s market.

The way with highest probability of success, money and ensuring a better future for your future generations is to startup.

It has the highest risk, highest reward. But in today’s landscape: where inflation is always higher than your hike, there’s no guarantee of employment even in next 1 years, the effort to remain in top 1% is humongous and many other reasons like that, really make me feel that if you’re able to start a company and even capture 0.1% of market who’s willing to pay something for your service/product, that’s all you need. Of course the struggle doesn’t end there and you have to keep working for as long as possible? But your capacity to earn and provide for generations to come is much higher than working for someone else.

All disagreement is welcome :)
Just tired of running this race for years now and still never feeling financially secure.
