Confused about career- Grapevine

As a fresher in an IT company working as a backend developer, I am really confused with how to proceed ahead for growth in my career. 
I have two options : 

1.Learn Frontend and be Full stack dev
2. Move to devops 

I need advice which would be more feasible and why. Keeping interests aside as of now since I would be new to both domains.

Any new ideas or domains are also welcomed!

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

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

For the past 1.5 yrs, I have been working for a legacy product and hence didn't learn any new technologies. This job was right out of college and hence I didn't pick this. Entire takeaway from 1.5 yrs was 
1.  Simple Java(version 8) code (no frameworks)
2. SVN for version control
3. Dealt with millions of lines of code and hundreds of services in one single file. 

No new technologies, no cloud, no databases. 

But I am very confident and fluent in Data Structures and Algorithms ( Masters in Theory CS from top IIT). What shall I learn next to keep up with the IT industry? I don't have any particular interest towards say DevOps, BigData. I just like to solve problems.  Please advice.

Want to upgrade myself

Hi all I am working in Infosys from past 2.5 years I joined as fresher now I am thinking to switch for career growth I have worked in Network Operations mostly now I feel like I need to switch in development as I have gain interest in it . But I don’t have much hands on experience on development .. what should I do? Should I start searching for another company immediately or I should focus to gain more knowledge of development? Please help me out I am bit confused

Should I switch or not ?

Hi,

Please try to read whole message once.. it's my 3 years journey..

I joined Infosys in july 2021. Till now I have worked for 4 different accounts in Life science. 

Project -1 
I worked for 4 months only on spark, scala, Azure Data Factory. 

Project -2 
I worked for 5 months on azure but that is a migration project so there is no development related work. 

Project -3 (Python, AWS, YMAL)
I worked for 10 months in this project. This is a automation project. i am the only developer from Infosys and one more person is from different company. From scratch to release i only developed around 70% of the functionality and has written ymal scripts for infrastructure in AWS.. for this work i got one insta award and one unit Rise award as well. This helped clients to reduce around 5000 hours yearly 

Project -4 (Vue js, Php, laravel, AWS)
After 3rd project i asked my manager to give me any python related project but there are very less python projects in ADM. So my manager only recommended to this project so i have taken it. In this also I have done one integration for document storage library which is on premises of client we done VPC via AWS and then we managed to complete the integration it took almost 8 months to complete whole thing as there is no direct approach. I even done RnD and finished DocuSign integration. And I am doing now a full stack kind of application with the above mentioned technologies only..


I have interest towards python backend than front end.. so i learnt flask.. I can write clean code but not very complex like DSA but business logics i can write them on own.. I have worked on many technologies but i am not expert in any one.. can someone help me to get a good career path.. I have two certifications in azure(az-900 and Dp-203) and one in AWS(colud practitioner)

Carrer Suggestions

Hey Everyone,

I am a 3YoE backend developer with little AI role and web development experience in the industry and I wanted to grow my career as more like an ✨Elite Engineer✨ who not just builds stuff but optimizes it to the core, oversees the future bottlenecks, the alternative approaches blah blah and you get the point. But the problem is that my learning is all over places. Please suggest/ guide you to be that ✨Elite Engineer✨ if you can. I want to continue to be a backend engineer (no more switching domain)

Disclaimer: I don’t want to do it because of the money (of course I need a future) but to have a solid understanding of it (it would be great if I end up as SDE)

Elite Devs, plz help!?🙂

Intern

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

I have completed my B. Tech few days ago. Working in a small startup for 3lpa and I am not getting any projects to work. Initially I was trained to work in spring boot . Now they are told to learn devops and so I learnt them and now I'm not have any work related to cloud also.Sitting simply throughout the day. I have joined the company as intern in july 2023. Any Guidance what to do what to learn. I'm currently learning DSA. I have knowledge in spring boot, AWS and some devops concept.

Need Guidance

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.

How to transition to a backend engineer role from frontend

Hey folks , i am in my 2nd year btech ( CS ) mumbai , and i am confused between data engineering and backend engineering, i love python , know linux and basic knowledge of cloud . What should i choose and what should my further path.

Data engineer or backend engineer

Hi All, 
Hope you are all doing well.
I'm stuck in support role, handling incident tickets & publishing status reports since 1.5 years. My learning is almost null.

I'm currently doing java DSA (350) & picking up on springboot tutorials. Given the support job role, 90 days np, & current market, how difficult is it to land a backend developer role. (Happy to take paycut).

Or should I just quit my current role & enroll for some placement bootcamps.

What can I do better to improve myself.

Thanks in advance.

Tc: 7.65
Yoe: 2
