I'd suggest, move to the backend role only maybe choose a different framework, node or something similar and since you know frontend slowly pick it up also and be a Full stack.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi everyone, I am working as a ruby on rails backend engineer in a service based giant of India for past 3 years ..

Thinking of changing my role to a front-end developer (I know front-end as ruby on rails requires a good amount of front-end knowledge)

What are some things to keep in mind while changing roles, also for a 3 year experience, what salary should I expect in Bangalore/Gurgaon...?

Also, if you're a front-end developer, what tech do you most predominantly use in day to day coding & also please share your salaries...Thanks !

Changing role. From backend to frontend- Grapevine

Hi everyone, I am working in a service based giant of India for the past 2.4 years on Ruby on Rails. Ruby is a dying language & I need to switch as my salary is lower than what peons probably earns so need some guidance.
1. I am wanting to switch to Frontend completely and then some backend in a new company in MERN stack, what salary can I expect for my YoE ?
2. With all layoffs going, how can i make myself somewhat immune to these situations so that I don't have to search for a new job every few months ?
3. Starting frontend and then will be doing backend as well (becoming Full stack) is my choice of MERN stack correct ?

Thanks in advance to all...

Job switch

Hi everyone,

What should be the salary of frontend developer with 3.5 years of experience?

Tech stack: typescript, react, next js, tailwind

Frontend salary

I joined industry as a front-end engineer back in April, 2022 and now i am feeling like expanding my horizon of skills and start doing backend. Also, I am hearing it from people that there is not much growth in FE in terms of compensation. So, curious to know the views of people here and would be great if someone can guide through. 
Thanks in advance

Career Role switch

Software Developer

( Not a big fancy offer, average offer for 4 years of experience in Non FAANG )

Resources I recommend for interview prep

Coding 

- Leetcode 
- GeeksForGeeks (self-paced course by Sandeep Jain is good )
- TechInterviewHandbook ( https://www.techinterviewhandbook.org/ )

System design 

- Grokking the system design 
- Alexxu 
- DDAT ( Currently reading )

Ignore any other famous names like Gaurav Sen and Real Engineering, they are just meh.

Gaurav Sen's course felt like he never really designed any system. Too much useless theory and he himself looks a lot confused in the course. 

Real Engineer is all marketing. Not worth 40k for a course. You can use that to buy a lot of ( books resources + mock interviews ). 

His pricing strategy of course is what to buy next in his house. 


LLD

I've also worked with Backend NodeJS/Mongo tech stack but been a frontend developer primarily at my current organization. I've no particular choice in location as well. I'm based out of Bangalore currently and willing to relocate for the right opportunity.

In case if you can provide a referral, I'll be happy to connect.

Looking for Referrals as a Frontend Engineer with 3.5 Years of Experience

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I'm currently working as a Frontend Engineer at leading FinTech in India. I'm doing great in my current role(IMO). I also contribute to open source libraries on weekends.
Maybe it is FOMO or my learning curve being relatively flat, recently I'm feeling I don't want to type cast myself as a frontend engineer and explore backend as well. I might get promoted to senior role this appraisal cycle. My current org (specifically my managers) don't want me to contribute in backend services as there are already plenty devs in backend.

How to go about this? I can't switch since, no company would hire a folk as a senior backend developer with 0 backend experience.

How to switch to a Senior Backend Engineering role?

Hi guys, looking forward to some advice. I'm working as a Frontend developer for the past 2 yrs, tech stack is React, Javascript. I'm feeling that I'm bored with the work and not learning much now, just building components and calling new APIs. So I thought I should try backend development. The backend tech stack in my team is Java, Spring boot. I have knowledge of core Java. If I continue with the current role, I might get a promotion next yr but if I change I will not get. Also I eventually want to go to a MNC, where I see generally hiring is for backend roles where system design and DB is asked. Frontend specific hiring I mostly find in startup and mid sized companies, which I want to avoid. Another option is to switch to a different company like Microsoft, etc where they look for a general software engineer, for which I will need to study system design and DB. I'm fairly good at DSA, so not much of an issue here. What should I do?

Career growth trajectory

Hey All, 
I am actively looking out for better offers at the moment.
What are some companies hiring in Gurgaon, preferably frontend/fullstack roles?

My tech stack - Javascript, React, Node, Express, Mongo
YOE- 2.8

Frontend developer position

Hey folks,
I am a senior software engineer at Swiggy working in as a mobile engineer for the past 5 years.
I have worked on few backend & infra stack in past companies (node js, go-lang, kubernetes, s3, etc) just for exploring and expanding my horizon.
I am thinking of seriously perusing this now.

What are my options here? I am open to learning via online course / my own side projects.

Also how to approach for hiring given it won’t be my expertise but I am willing to be hired at a lower package for the long term benefits.

Reason to consider a transition is boredom with working in a single domain.

Looking for frontend roles

Frontend Engineer

I have 1.5 YoE as a frontend developer in an early stage startup. 

I need help with deciding where do I go from here? Do I deep dive into frontend? Do I try to move to full stack?

Things to consider:
- I am from a non CS background
- frontend in India seems to be a bit saturated, especially for entry/mid level roles.

I'd appreciate your advice, thanks :)

Planning my career as a frontend developer

I have 10years of work ex totally into FE.
Outside India, there are a lot of IC roles and Architect roles for Frontend Devs but not the same in India.
Wonder what role do they transition to given they have been totally into FE.
Moving to Backend doesnt make sense IMO.
Manager option is for Backend folks.
Almost all the openings I see for Tech Managers, their requirements revolve around backend tech.

What do Frontend devs do in India after 12-14years of work ex?

Technical Lead

I am currently working with a start-up from the last 2 years as a web developer angular+ dot net. My current CTC is 5LPA. Waiting for appraisal form last 1 year, and management has cleared that we do not expect a magical raise this time, I will hardly get 25 - 30% this time. Should I wait for 1 more year here( product is good and work culture is best). Or look for another opportunity. How much salary should I expect from outside? I have good knowledge and worked on various things frontend, backend, ci/cd.

Need Advice!!!

Can i switch my career from frontend to backend as I am having 3.5 years of experience in react. If I can, than how, as whenever I try to do so i am not shortlisted for backend role. Also in my company it's difficult to switch as they are not allowing to do so ? 

Thanks in advance 😃😃

Need to switch from frontend to backend

So I am working on frontend for past 1 year, and work has become monotonous and I always wanted to be in backend, my team only works in frontend.

What should I do because I don’t want to be stuck in frontend forever, people around me are saying if I stay here for a year more, I will be stuck in frontend and it will be very hard for me to switch to backend.

Please advise, Thank you!

Anyone hiring for Frontend developer?

Hi folks, I have 2.5 yr of experience in react native and JavaScript combined with current CTC of 12 LPA. Few months of experience in frontend. Currently I want to switch from my react native position to frontend position without taking a pay cut. How much is it different from react native and where should I be focusing the most. 
Reason for switching: I am not comfortable in current organisation with the way management works and I am also tired of react native.
