 If you wanna be brave: add last line;

I went and asked my lead to give some task, they delegated me to some other lead, the other lead said kal release hai dekhte hai kuch aaya toh de denge warna theek
Now here I am anxious about not getting a task, I don't know how to kill time, I get tensed of not having a task. Is it just me?
I don't understand when you get a task, again you are tensed about the deadlines, if you don't get a task you are tensed
This is a vicious cycle, how to break this?

Do you guys feel the same?

Do you guys feel the same?- Grapevine

Long post ahead!!!


Its been around a year since I've started working in a service based company as a Frontend dev, WLB, compensation and all is good based on I've just started.
During this year of working I do not feel like I've done anything, our team is working on a product for past 2-3 year and its nearing the completion. My role was mostly to cordinate with testing team and solve frontend bugs and minor addition to the project (which was mostly copy pasting), even doing these minor task took me some time initially and I still have to take help from seniors time to time. 
I got kinda bored with all the repetitive task and I requested my manager to assign me to other development happening within team, he agreed and assigned me some different task but I cant seem to understand anything here, 
I get stuck in the most basic things, I feel stupid when I am not able to come up with easy solutions.

I am seeing other engineers learning new tech stacks in a small amount of time and getting hold of it while i am not able to understand things in my own tech stack.

I've recently gotten a appraisal as well(my company is quite good and gives it to everyone) and I feel like I don't deserve a bit of it.

 I am a 2023 graduate , I did MCA because that was the only good option I could see for myself(mostly cz of money) at that time earlier to that I did a bachelor's (Non CS) without gaining any knowledge of anything.
My basics are not that good, In college my only focus was to get a job so I did DSA and some front-end development using ReactJS(projects mostly code along with ytube) to be able to grab a good placement.

Is software engineering not for me? If no, then how do I overcome this, i don't wanna be a mediocre.

Am I a bad engineer?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I have been assigned a task, and to be honest I have been procrastinating a lot. I don’t feel like delivering the task on time. My director product has followed up with me multiple times. 

What should I do? Give me some creative answers.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hi, guys. I just switched to a new role (UX Writing) and its been 14-15 days. I am getting major work FOMO here. Here are two things I am feeling, help me navigate through this? 

1. I am not aligned to a project/account yet. Feeling a bit restless, I feel like reaching out to seniors and teammates and I do. Yet, there’s little clarity on how I will be resourceful to the entire set up. 

2. Brushing up on my skills until formal tasks are allocated to me. However, I learn more on the job, rather than through training. How to make most of the time and resources available?

3. I am not sure if I am overthinking this, but I feel like my role isn’t as well-etched as I first thought it would be.

New Work. Feeling utterly confused.

Social Media Manager

I am a software engineer with 3 years of experience .For the first two initial years I was working as a QA in one of the good product companies with a very sorted work life balance .
I had recently switched to a BE role in a startup 
I am very much lagging behind here because of my QA background  ,the people here are very much talented and are great problem solvers .How do I reach that level ?
I have been  struggling to keep up with the pace here and finding it difficult to approach the tasks,even though i have been giving so much of time to work .
And the TL  in my team have a certain amount of expectations and hence they don't help according to that .(which i feel is fair)
How should I approach this  and level up here 
Anyone with a similar background and story please share your experience :) 
Any advice would really help

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hello all in my project whatever I'm doing I'm getting huge criticism from my lead everytime , everyone except him is very good with me. To be Frank , I am understanding and doing a lot's of stuff to impress him too. I have only 1.5 yrs of  experience he is having 15+ yrs of experience but the way I'm pushing myself I'm happy , sometimes working 12-14 hrs a day. But whatever even small project related doubts also he is not bearing with me. Daily I'm going deep down mentally but cann't express this with anyone to my family nor with my colleagues. 

Can anyone suggest what can I do , is this common in IT sector. This is first time I'm experiencing this I had interned at one of faang there i didn't faced like this everyone encourage s my idealogy and will corrects me if I'm wrong?
Can you please give some motivation.

Demotivating by my lead

So thing is  In last 1 week my manager/project lead has been threating that you will have to work on weekend if you dont complete your task by friday and put the the task to testing.

And this boils my blood soo damnn much . But as a person who is on lowest level i cant do/say shit. I just disagree with him and dont argue.
What would you have done .[ practical advice only]

And thing is i do all my dev work on time even earlier almost everytime and he just goes around and threatens everyone with this. Soo annoying thay dumbfk needs to get rekt .

Work on weekend?!! Advice needed

Data engineer

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

Like suppose you have deadline of 1 week if you spend 7-8 hours daily. 
But sometimes (happening all times with me) I over stretch myself to complete it in 2-3 days itself. 
I don't get better sleep or focus on other things like watch movies or play games until I complete it.

How many of you have OCD of completing a given task/project fast.

Tech Lead

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

New Work. Utterly Confused.

Need guidance from fellow experienced folks or who have done this before. What are the proper reasons to ask for a release.

My reasons:
- work is too hectic and repetitive and no growth technically (mostly support and maintenance once in a blue moon some dev sort of work).

- Client is mismanaged they dont know what work is important and come with multiple deadlines even before prod day.

- No proper KT is given when assigning a new task.

- In the name of agile its kanban board and not jira (given a sprint task to be finished in a day or two and new tickets pulled in between).

- Manager swaps ticket often in between sprint.

- Manager is mostly away even on standups or client calls so we manage faking they worked and we manage in behind scenes.

- Due to too many upcoming requests in tight deadlines from last 3 months wlb is miserable and have worked two weeks without an off once and night shift charges given is 220 only per day.

Now I need your all guidance on what can be a better approach or how to improvise

Asking manager a release?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Padhle likhe gawar hire kar lete h kya ji jira m likeh status update nai padh paate? Ek hi bakwas dicuss ho rai h roz din. Iske upar se 8 ghnata code bhi chaiye. What do program managers think of themselves ? 

Ye saare milke humko pagal bana rahe ., itne ga**d phati k ye.. 

I'm planning to say it outright to Manager, that if standups are going to run for 1.5 hrs then I will be commuting in this time. I dont get time for myself, if I just sit and listen nonsense that i can read.

What to do with daily 2hr standup? It eats my gym time.

Any blockers?  
 Yes, Daily Standup is my blocker.

How many escalations have you had , I'm on 2. Working on two projects simultaneously and I'm just behind on both of those , I'm a fresher , I told my manager that I don't have bandwidth but he said that take responsibility and finish it? I don't know what to do anymore ?

How to navigate this situation

Consultant

I am working as SDE 1 in a good Indian startup. It's getting toxic day by day. Late night workings like 3AM and working on weekends is normalised like anything. Since I am new to IT ( no sort of politics never) and have almost 2.5 Years of experience, I am facing issues in getting credits. Last appraisal cycle in January, I was nominated for promotion but wasn't given to me, reason: you have not worked with architect and he was making decisions. In that case, architect should have been distributed tasks to us. 

one SDE3 is leading one of the projects ( not a big one ) and manager/architect is not much interested and never join any standup or retro, I have contributed immensely to that. Now since it is completely driven by sde 3 , he takes updates from us and show his work infront of seniors and director + announces like his work and seldom we get thank you in threads. Like if you did one function or wrote complete flow, for both thank you. Because of all these reasons, my work is not getting recognised. There is no one in team to help in this. 

Whenever a manager or Architect show cases some features or release, it's pretty evident that his team has done it but when a sde 3 does it, it is not the same. It conveys the message all or 90% work is done by him. 

I would like to take some suggestions from my seniors and fellow mates here. 

Hierarchy - sde 1-2-3-4-EM
I can't leave or switch right now due to some critical persona reasons.

I have a great team, great manager okayish project. But the urge to work and do extra... I can't feel it... How to manage time properly

How to enjoy and work ???

Hi all, I just wanted to ask everyone here if they ever felt the way i am feeling right now in my role. I’ve been working for over a year now, and i feel burnt out all the time. I have a habit of saying yes to everything to my project managers/ team managers because i dont want to show any weakness or them thinking that I’m slacking off. This has taken a toll on me big time. Whenever I’m struggling with deadlines, i get legit scared, like shaking and all, and it’s frightening and annoying. I want to switch to a more stable company (currently in a company somewhere between a startup and a corporate- it has the downsides of both but upsides of neither imo). I wanted to know if this is something only i am struggling with or if anyone has any suggestions on how to tackle this.
Thank you all in advance:)

SDE 1

If you mess up on a client engagement and can't finish a task properly? What happens ? What are the repercussions? I'm a fresher and I don't know what to do anymore ? Is this normal ? It's only been 7 months here , I'm a campus hire and I feel out of my depth? Seniors don't help that much as they're too busy? My anxiety is really high and I don't know really know what to do anymore.
Any tips advice would be helpful?

Stuck at work

Hello guys, I am fresher in this corporate world and a question is stuck in my mind. What if I got some task and I spent numerous hours still not able to complete it then what should I do ??

What if I am not Able to do a task

Is mental health a big problem for all you other PMs ?
Sometimes days, weeks and months are so difficult in aligning , solving and scoping that you have a breakdown .
The constant need to always be on top is exhausting and take a toll.
How do guys handle this ?

Test Engineer

feeling like I am literally in the worst phase of my life. Our company is taking ownership of an abroad project and those abroad folks are not supportive or even if they support us then they give little information so that we can't take ownership. so we freshers have to figure out everything, and now even after figuring out, my manager and higher management asks me anything with respect to the product(features, deployment, anything literally- it's a big & complex project) even though I am a fresher and don't even have the proper knowledge and then ask us to explain to them what we know, and it's literally frustrating to explain to every single guy every single time. Because the manager asks to prepare to explain to him and then to the higher manager and then whenever something is there they keep asking again and again to give a presentation or our ideas about it, but they don't even ask abroad folks when they are the one who is doing the work. I just feel like I can't keep up with this and I want to resign. How to say no to the manager for doing a particular work again and again or should I resign because I am feeling very low right now and still after 1 year it looks like I have wasted the time because I got to write code for maybe 5% and 90-95% feels like college presentation. Every time there's something and they ask the same thing 3-4 times, sometimes it would be give the x info or then y info and like this only  and because of that i can't do the real work or work on new features because the Indian manager and higher officials keep giving extra work which they should ask from US folks. What should I do please suggest

Do you guys feel the same?
