I'm a Diploma+Degree grad. Once you have a degree it really doesn't matter at all. If you're aiming for IIT, NIT then it's a different scenario

Thanks so much. Does the skill set is more in diploma + degree grad?

There's not a lot of difference. It comes down to the technical culture of thr college. In my case I was on the same level as people who gave entrance exam after 12th. Most of my skills I've learned after my engineering degree anyway 🥲. But it gkes without saying that Diploma students struggle at Math during the degree. You'll have to manage that.

Diploma followed by degree or 10+2 followed by degree in Engineering. Which is better?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I'm about to graduate as a B.Tech (CS) grad this year. I have a full time offer at the moment and joining is in June. 

My question is this: I hear from people to go for M.Tech after 1-2 years of industry experience. Is it a good decision to leave a job to do an M.Tech after atleast 2 years of working in the industry?

And also will an M.Tech degree help my career in any way? Preferably in terms of better job opportunities in the future?

I really want to understand more about this.

When to do/not to do M.Tech?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I have three younger cousins. They don't want to code. They have their clarity. They don't want to pursue any particular engineering stream as well. 

They want to get a decent paying job. Let's say 6-8 lpa start with a path to 15-20 lpa in 4-5 years. 

I tried advising them to not invest a lot of money and four years of time in engineering. Their family is average middle class financially. I told them that I'll advise you what all to learn like content writing, seo, data analytics etc. So do a simple course, save money and rather invest in something that matters for job. 

They did listen but did not get confidence to act. 
All three went for engineering stream. These are private colleges with tier 3ish names. Now they don't get time to put a lot of time because 8-4 is usually college time. Unlike tier 1,2 college where you get campus and a lot of freedom, the colleges usually have a lot of classes and compulsory 80% type attendance. 

Did you face similar situation? What did you advise? Do you think I was giving them right decision?

Did you try advising your cousins not to pursue engineering if they don't want to code?

Product Manager

I started working around 2017 never upskilled enough to switch and realised my mistakes very late

Would my past experience be an issue if I get into good colleges like IITs/IISc

By the time I graduate I would be around 33-34 maybe ?
Is it too late to get into GATE.
I also can't afford to go to foreign masters degree. 
I am single so only parents are dependent on me. 

myquals: BE in CS from tier 3 college in Maharashtra. 

Any experienced advice is appreciated.

I am 30 yo with all my working experience in support. Never did any development or coding. Will getting an Mtech from top colleges (iit/iisc) help me get on good career trajectory?

Career Advice

Hi, I am currently 22, graduated recently from a tier 2 institute and currently working at a US based startup earning 18lpa ( almost all base ) + rsu's, lately my family have been nagging me to do a postgrad, I am confused weather I should do an MBA, MS or not do a postgrad at all considering the years I will miss in workex. 

What should be my best course of action considering ROI in the next 10-15 years ?? 

P.S. Currently I am not sure what my interest lies in, but just try to excel at whatever comes my way.

What should be my next steps ?

My brother is in great confusion if he should take a loan just to study btech and get an average job of 4LPA
or
if he should enroll on a  normal degree course and focus on building side skills and knowledge , he use to do freelancing stuff and internship in designing and all 

The confusion is that there is always hard work no matter what line you go, he is good at adapting and working on situations now though whatever he chooses he needs to go all in , just as a suggestion needed to know what are your take on the matter , how would some of you handle and take steps ???

B.Tech or Skill development?

I am probably earning 2x of what an average T-1 MBA grad makes in India. I'm just not happy in my role and this SDE grind caught me lackin'.

Can you help me determine whether it is still a good bet to get an MBA? Because these normie MBA folks are literally the dumbest people I have seen and I think I can do a better job than them.

Earning 2x of a Tier-1 MBA grad already. Should I still do an MBA?

Program Manager

Background:

Tier 1 college, Branch - Civil, 2018 passout, Presently working at a state govt PSU with around 11.5 LPA CTC (salary part only, excluding medical facility which is decent)

Things I like at the present job:

1. Home state posting all throughout the career
2. Easy to take leaves and can mostly go home on weekends
3. Good work life balance.

Things I don't like:

1. Rural posting (as of now, will change in future)
2. Repetitive kind of work - not challenging enough and hence limited growth (I guess this is true for most PSU jobs)

Why thinking of the switch?

1. Civil was never really my passion - just what I got.
2. Taking the job was mostly due to family pressure of doing govt job.
3. Liked programming during school days, did web dev work in college fests.
4. I do like the process of building something up and also learning new things, and am hence beginning to feel tech is something that would suit me. 
5. Salary and fomo factors are there but not significant enough. 
I feel I have not been taking enough risks and hence am not being rewarded enough. I want the thrill of grinding and progressing in life.
 
What's stopping me then?

1. Obviously, the safety and protection of a secured job is difficult to overcome.
2. Family wants me to settle now, but I don't.
3. Recessions like this where layoffs take place even for skilled people due to factors not in one's control.
4. The fact that I might have to take a paycut, to begin in this career.

So what should be the path to take?

1. Learn DSA, make projects and apply. Could use my network (although very very few of my batch are in tech, most are in analytics, finance, core sector) to begin somewhere and switch
2. Go for M.Tech in tier 1, and hence aim for product based companies.

I am more inclined towards option 2, as the tech job market being what it is now. I am ready to slog for 2 -3 years (mtech preparation, mtech and then placement)

Please help me out with your views and suggestion.

Suggestions/Advice

Hi everyone,

A bit about me: I'm a 25-year-old female with a CTC of 4.5 LPA and around 2 years of experience. I was forced to resign from my first company, and currently, I don't have any job offers. Job hunting has been very challenging for me.

Due to my negative first experience, I'm scared and skeptical about joining another company. Additionally, I don't expect a significant salary hike with a switch right now.

I seek advice on pursuing a master's degree. Should I prepare for it? Is it worth it? Will it lead to a better package? I'm really confused between pursuing a master's and looking for another job. Any help, advice, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Seeking Advice on Master's vs Job Search

Currently i am in my final year of BCA and I have one year with me to either get a job or internship or prepare for NIMCET (entrance for mca in NIT). My doubt is whether i should spare 3 years just for the brand value of NIT tag or gain experience in a job. In a ideal situation if a get a good package of 20 lpa after 3 years of MCA ,will i be able to match the same package in 3 years without masters. My skills are average,still working on it.

SKILLS VS DEGREE

IITians always have a headstart in most of the things , be it interviews , be it asking for funds from VCs , be it meeting with board of any company to present their ideas and much more . I wanted to ask one thing that if you are even a metallurgy student in BTech at IIT BOMBAY then you will be able to land roles in consulting, IBs , product, growth but is the situation same for mtech students at IITs who are planning to puruse their masters , will they have same value

About IITians

I'm 24 year old unemployed. I graduated in 2021 with BTech IT from tier 3 college. 
Initially I was preparing for UPSC exam but I gave up after few months and now for a year I have been learning Front End Development and have learnt HTML, CSS, JS & ReactJS but unable to find a job.
I made a lot of mistakes in past and didn't learned from them. I'm not good at anything. I apply daily at different platforms ex: wellfound (formerly angellist), hirist, hirect, instahyre, cutshort, individual mass hiring companies off campus but from nowhere I'm getting interview call even if I get call I'm not able to clear interview. 

Now the thing is my parents gave me ultimatun to get out of the house by April 1st they don't care what type of job I do. 
I don't understand what can I do now. I'm willing to do hardwork and learn from my mistakes I just need little guidance to get on a track. If anyone can guide me on how to get a job or any advice. I would really appreciate it. Thanks for reading.

I need help regarding my career as a fresher. How can I turn my life around?

I am currently in my pre final year  and from teir 2 college want to know if it is better to do ms or mtech in us after graduation and I am not interested in reasearch just want a job in it sector

Ms vs Mtech

MBA folks..recent and past graduates need your opinion on BITSOM and Masters Union.
are they as good as they claim?
reputation in job market?
worth joining or to repeat?
CAT score 97.29
Any other extra information and other college information are most welcomed.
(Also need help in GDPI prep if anyone can help out with certain queries and even conduct a mock interview, it would be of immense help)

MBA!!

What are the options for someone who wants to go back to college in India and does not want to do MBA? I have Btech degree from Tier 1 college. Mtech from India is not worth it. I don't want to go abroad for studying.

I am averse to MBA because I want to keep working in building tech. I want to study more to have another chance for building myself from a student tag.

Diploma followed by degree or 10+2 followed by degree in Engineering. Which is better?
