Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Currently with 3+ yrs of experience and earning around 36 LPA ( 28 fixed and 8 esops ). Getting a feeling like I am not earning enough and also I am getting a FOMO looking at my friends who are doing MS and settled in US. I want to experience it, but not sure if it’s worth it or should I look for switch to get out that fomo? It’s now or never for doing MS as I am will be getting almost 4-5 yrs experience in next few years. Also, Feeling like I am getting old for MS 

Please give suggestions.

Should I do MS ?

Software Developer

Need some guidance. I am currently working in a product based MNC with a decent salary for 8 months. I am having 3 years of work experience. Recently I got an interview opportunity from a US based startup company for a SDE 2 remote role with 50% hike. What shall I do? Should I be continue working in the reputed MNC or try to switch to a startup with 50% hike and complete remote opportunity?

Any help and guidance is much appreciated 🙂

Confused on what to do next

How to over come feeling defeated and anxious as I grow older in tech field biased towards younger lot and shiny new tech stacks.

Worked in WITCH companies, no hope of getting into product based at 11 yrs exp.

I am no way extraordinary technologically wise nor got chance to work on complex projects just standard Crud apps on different tech stacks like Asp.net and SAP Fiori/Hana.

I shudder to think of being jobless at 50 with no job with no pension and max responsibilities on my shoulders at that time .

Can someone provide pointers how to come out of this rut? I would be grateful🙏🏻

How to overcome midlife career crisis?

I am at the final stage of selecting the right Master's program to propel my career transition into product management roles within tech giants like MAANG or management consultancy positions in MBB or Big 4 firms. I intend to settle/ immigrate from India to a Western/ developed country post-MBA and finding a job will be my highest priority as I am taking a loan to finance my total fees and cost of living abroad.  
  
I have offers from  
  
1. TIAS School of Business MBA, Utrecht, Netherlands (Tuition Fee coming down to 29000 euros after scholarship),  +11000 euros for the cost of living.

Pros: 
-Strong economy and relatively less competitive job market
-Best quality of life in the world with healthcare,etc
- less stressful immigration process and life, wlb

Cons: 
-Less salary and 40% income tax
- horrible housing crisis(worse than mumbai)so a good portion of salary will go in that and will have to share a flat with people after MBA.
-The MBA and any business school in Europe after the top 3 is not greatly valued there. It's your past experience that matters so career switching will be tricky 
-weather
- socializing hurdles with locals
  
2. Duke University, NC, USA : for a Master of Science in Engineering Management Program, 66000 USD Tuition fees. The cost of living can be easily covered with part time jobs.
  
I am seeking advice to make an informed decision along with some feedback about the best place to live for me. I have heard mixed feedback on job prospects due to the current market challenges. But, a few years back the alumni from these programs got into the positions I aim to work at.  
  
Profile: 25 M. Previously worked for 6 months as a Tech Project Manager at a VC. Currently, I'm a Scrum Master at a renowned British FinTech MNC and will have 3.4 years of total full-time experience (only in leadership roles ) by the time I enroll in any course in Sept 2024. Only proficient in English, open to other languages if necessary. TIA.

Hi,

I am thinking to shift to US. Wanted to know if it is worth to go US leaving the parents in India.

Also how much I will be able to save in next 15 years in US. Might come again to India. 

Profile:
Age - 27
Designation - Product manager 
Exp - 2 years 

Also please tell what challenges one faces in US and whether I will be able to ask my parents to come to US once their retirement.

Shifting to US

Product Manager

I was recently impacted by layoff and having 20yrs of exp into application support and service management with last 10yrs grown into a middle management role(limited tech hands-on and no dev experience nor CS background)

While I am financially ok atm and can manage staying at home for next 12-24 months, I am not financially independent yet. its getting too boring and I want to get back into some sort of work routine as I am keen on retirement yet.

Challenges I am seeing with finding a new opportunity:

- The job market seems to be quite restricted for senior roles with that experience
- Few that came across were at a substantial low salary.  
- Some others required significant hands-on experience 

Thought process::

- While salary is not a major concern, I am not sure if I makes sense to take a pay cut.
- Given the speed of tech changes, not sure what kind of learning/certification would be helpful
- Even if I do tech self-learning, lack of practical hands-on seems to be a drawback
- At 40+ while I am open to work hard and learn, i view is to find a job and learn into it , rather than other wat round

Any guidance/pointers would be appreciated. As would any leads/introductions on suitable opportunities you know of.

What next at 40+

I'm working as a software Engineer at a startup with almost 2 YOE. Looking at most of my friends going to usa for masters right after college i felt like I'm making a mistake by not doing the same after listening software engineers earning 100K us dollars there. I thought I'll give myself two years get some work experience and then think about it but honestly I'm still confused if i should switch(which is not proving to be so simple in the current job market) or should I go for masters (again confused here in choosing between usa or Germany or Australia). Will taking almost 40 Lakhs of loan money and doing it be worth it ? Seriously damn confused about what next step to take. When I spoke with the CTO here, he advised it's not worth and you can be earning almost similar money here soon. I'd say FOMO is also a big thing here. As i tell myself let's take the risk, 2 years of study will be done soon and then work for 3-4 years , make big money , repay the loan and get back to India. I'd be having the international exposure, experiencing some above average lifestyle than India , so confused man 

Any grapeviners who might have seen people around them taking this step please suggest me what to do, any advice is greatly appreciated 🙏

Really confused about masters vs switch

I have been working with Infosys for past 5years(total exp) and my current salary is 20LPA CTC. I work on Apple projects and the work has become repetitive over the last three years, primarily focusing on Java, Spring, Microservices, and Elasticsearch. I really want to join a product company now, for better compensation and more engaging work, but I’m uncertain how to proceed. 
I’ve just been writing APIs and scheduled jobs, and at this point I think I know nothing beyond it. The thought of facing the interview processes of tech giants for senior roles is daunting.  
Where should I start from? How do I regain my competence?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I have 2.5+ yoe in Java & Spring Framework from a product company. I want to switch to startup for new challenges as well as a good pay. 
Can someone help me out with what steps I need to follow.

How to switch companies

I am looking for companies which can potentially sponsor US relocation from India (or through Europe maybe?).

Tbh, I had joined Uber in the hope that I would get a transfer but I don't see that happening now given the company dynamics has changed. So, I am looking for a switch asap.

Have seen people taking transfers through Rubrik. Is it still the case? What about other mid to large size companies? Or Any startup?

TC: 60L 
Role: SWE 2
YOE: ~2 years

I am a senior product/UX designer with 6 yoe. My current CTC is 39 with 17L ESOPs.
I was under the impression that I would be out of the country by this time, but that didn't happen.
I am planning to do a master's in US/Canada just for the off chance to immigrate.
Is there any other better/more efficient way to move out?

How to get job in WFH US based startup companies?

Hi,

I am currently working as an software developer (5+ years experience)with around 40LPA CTC. 

Most of the people in my circle have gone there 2-3 years back.

Now I am having a fear of missing out, I applied for a few universities and I have got an admit in MS in CS. 

Is it worth it to migrate to another country and start again at this point of my career? What is your opinion on work in USA compared to India?

Need some experienced folks with honest answers please.

masters in USA

Hey, I have 8 years of work ex and I work in the marketing domain. Last role was mid senior level.
 I have done my MBA from a good B School in India.
I am not interested in settling abroad so have always avoided/ ignored outside opportunities.
But lately I have been thinking of moving out for a few years for exposure . I am 30 years old.
Suggest if that makes sense. And if yes,  EU and south Asia ? USA is a no. Too far and doesnt make sense for marketing.
I am very confused and want to decide soon.  South Asia seems to have a good but very limited pool of companies and EU, am not aware about much. Any leads/ companies to check out would be appreciated too as I have just started job hunt.

Need serious advice on moving abroad for work.

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

I am 31 M and am married with no kids as of yet. 

I have been to the US for my master's and also did a job there for some time. I came back to India in 2020 due to visa issues. 

Ever since then I have been thinking of going out of India, maybe to Canada (or nowadays Nordic countries are also accepting immigrants). But I am confused and unsure of what to do. 

I feel stuck here at my current job and feel like I haven't grown much. There are a lot of opportunities in other countries and the biggest motivation is lifestyle upgradation.

On the other hand, going to other countries would also mean a lot of struggle at this stage of my life, which I did the first time around when I went to the US. Plus there is this war situation happening in multiple countries. No one knows what will happen of that.

One more factor is - India is also doing fairly well and is seen as having the maximum growth potential in the next 5-10 years

What do you suggest? What are the points that I should consider? 

Also if I were to try to move out, which countries would you recommend I look at? What are the benefits? 

Help please!!!
