There's an ISB in Chandigarh, that might help you pivot from your current role, if you are looking to make a professional switch. Alternatively you could try something totally different like Psychology or something else that you're passionate about it

This is my first post here. 

I am a social media manager based in jaipur, working for a studio but currently want to switch field or something totally different. My current job profile and salary which is 35k, does not meet my expectations, especially since I will soon be getting married in November of this year and will be switching cities (Jaipur > Chandigarh).

**I am totally up for learning new skills & getting new certifications**

Any Suggestions??

P.S. the only reason I am staying at my current company is the working flexibility i.e. Hybrid working.

Figuring out my next phase, pls suggest :)

Figuring out my next phase, pls suggest :)- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have been at a company since 2.6 yrs as a founding engineer (joined here as a fresher). I am a graduate from IIT Delhi. I am paid well (50 LPA cash + decent stocks). The work culture of where I am is pretty amazing (5-6 hrs work, 5 days a week), WFH. 
Since I joined when the company was growing, I am  well respected. I would also go in length to say that  I don't expect the culture to be this good anywhere else. However it has been pretty boring lately, the work is very monotonous ( I am a backend engineer with pretty decent technical skills). I think I have little opportunity to grow here. 
What should I do ? 

PS: I got interview calls from various startups but most of them are just matching my salary but after doing some research I see that they are demanding lots of work (12 hrs, sometimes weekends included)

Suggestions for job change

Software Engineer

Here is my background:-
1. Started Working as a full stack intern at a startup at 10K per month in April 2021. (Let's refer to this startup as A).
2. Joined A as FTE at 8LPA in Jan 2022.
3. Graduated in June 2022.
4. Salary got increased to 12LPA in July 2022.
5. The startup (A) was acquired in Feb 2023 by a big fintech and salary was increased to 18 LPA (14.4 Fixed, rest variable).

Considering my experience and salary, should I think about a company switch?

Honestly I do think that my learnings have become stagnant lately, I want to explore new tech which I am unable to do now.

What do you all think?

Please give me your honest opinion 🙏

Need Suggestions for Switching

Hello everyone 
So a little about me: I’m a software developer working in a fintech startup in MOHALI.
2022 pass-out interned in the same startup as a backend intern in node js which was then converted into a full time offer after 6 months. Worked in node for almost 1.5 years, then switched to python + ops 
Starting compensation was 7 lpa and currently is 9 lpa. 
Thinking about switching but at the same time market looks risky as well.
Need suggestions for what to do, be it tech stack(is python in demand or node in demand?) , job change

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey everyone,
I am currently working as a security analyst working for a company that provides pentesting as a service to its clients. I am getting paid 17lpa fixed salary. I earn 80-90k from freelancing every month pre taxes.

So should I switch or not. It's been 3 years I am in this company and I can't see much growth now. I will be doing the same work. 

The work is full remote and the culture of company s also nice and workload is fine. 

What should I do?

Should I look for a product based company but most of them call onsite. I want remote work only that is mandatory.

Switch or not

How much in-hand salary is sufficient

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Folks,

This is my first post. I wanted your input on switching my completely in-office job (mandatory 5 days in office with zero scope for WFH unless for emergencies). 

I’m looking for a remote-first company and willing to switch for 35-40% hike from my current CTC.

I’m holding another job offer currently (30%hike) - during the initial screening they offered me Hybrid but after interviews they stated it’s mandatory WFO. 

Can anyone advise how the markets are looking and what expectations I should hold on to while on the job hunt?  Any referrals in a remote-first organisation  would be much appreciated.

Location: Bangalore
Expectation: Remote or Hybrid but location needs to be in Mumbai.

Thanks folks for reading on till now!

Currently working for a Fintech - Need a remote job role

Project Manager

Context: almost 5 YOE, BTech + MBA both from tier 3. Current CTC 32LPA including variable and retention bonus (24.3 is fixed). I work as an APM in a pharma consulting organisation (which also has a SaaS platform) in Pune. 

Recently Got an offer from a tier 1 consulting company (not MBB but close enough) for a pretty new role of product + project management for one of their saas tools. The offer is 20% hike on my fixed + variable upto 15% + 2L JB. And it’s in Mumbai which is my hometown. I tried negotiating but the hiring manager said this is the best offer they can give. 

The job role will require infrequent travel to client locations and overall seems interesting. 

I’m in a dilemma if I should accept or not because the brand is infinitely better than my current organisation and will open up exit opportunities to MBB. On the other hand my professional growth in current organisation seems stagnant as there is not a lot to learn here but monetary growth has been good. (10-15% hikes every year).

Need genuine advice on switching

Product Manager

I'm frontend React Javascript developer with overall 4 years of experience (out of which 2yrs in react) Sitting with 5Lpa at TCS. What should I answer on expected salary in interviews. And if possible guide me reason for that ask. (Sorry for posting again but really need idea on this)

Salary expectation

Got an offer from LTI as Specialist Software Engineer. I am getting arnd 40% hike on my basic. 

The issue is I am in a stable company with decent WLB and avg hikes are similar to inflation levels. 

Have heard LTI has a bad hike culture and wlb is project dependent. 

My only good thing is a NP of 30 days in my current org and no calls on weekend. 

Any advice will be helpful.

Got an offer from LTI as Specialist Software Engineer and I am confused as fuck.

Im a business analyst whose salary is close to 8 LPA in management consultant in EY. I want to reach 20 LPA atleast in next two years. Should i transition to another role or upskill? What skills i need to learn and what roles can i switch to? If anyone wants to be by mentor, kindly also feel free to dm, will send a good amazon gift card for that assistance :-)

Urgent help/advice needed?

Consultant

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

Hey Grapeviners, 

I need some serious help. 

Bit about myself - just graduated this month and working as an APM at a seed stage startup. I have 1.5 years of product experience and 3 years of overall experience as an intern. 

Lately, not sure why but I am loving what engineers do. Closely working with them, and I guess it's nostalgic for myself. Because I did coding for 6 months and moved on for some reason. So, I understand how tech actually works. Have got good feedback regarding this. 

At the same time, I am not really finding the true value of what I am doing everyday. Feels a void inside. 

Also, I am not able to discuss all these things in person with someone, because I fear that they will judge me after doing internships for 3 years, I still haven't figured out my career. Such a loser I am. 

I have been thinking about starting coding again and maybe switching to a coding job in the next 6 months maybe. But again it would be tough for me as I only got weekends for me to learn all this stuff. 

What do you all experienced folks suggest? What should I do? 

Please comment if you can help 🙏
