I laid down the numbers. I told them, how much revenue my work generated to client. It was seriously good project and clients quarterly earnings used to highlight how much revenue new changes generated

What if the client doesn’t use any metrics at all when it comes to testing the impact of designs? I have fond usability testing but all I have is verbal feedback from users in design. That’s it

Hi folks, 

I have been part of one company for 9 years. I feel like bored and mundane.  I am trying to switch jobs for past one and half year and unable to crack any interviews. Each interview slips because of some reason. Now my current company based on my performance asked me to find job somewhere else within in few months.. I am still unable to clear interviews.. Sometimes feel very downward because of this but deep inside I feel like I am more worth than this.. Market is also so uncertain now.. My salary is 32L.. I feel like I am stuck in my career. Any advice or recommendation?

Finding difficult to clear interviews

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi, 24M working in one of the WITCH having 1.3 years of experience total. I've graduated from Tier-3 engineering college in 2021. Last year joined through off campus. I have worked on two short term projects, one is Migration and done basic scripting as development experience there, In second one done manual testing work. In March this year, my second project got completed and I got release from project. I was on bench for few days after that I got a support project which initially i thought I can do some enhancement work here, but utter disappointment this project is, 97% tickets here are Access requests and maximum work of 2 hrs daily. I don nothing apart from mailing clients n shiet and sometimes call with clients. I got frustrated because of this.

Now, If I ask for release from this project now, will they accept it? Or will it impact my year end rating, I'm getting afraid now. Please help me what should I do.

Analyst

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

There is a great insecurity in service companies that we are not competent enough to switch to other companies . Especially TCS.

If you were such a person in the past and if you managed to switch companies, how did you do it? 
What technology are you currently working on?

Tell us about your journey.

Software Developer

Hey everyone, I wanted to share an experience that many of you might relate to. Over the past few months, I have applied to over 40+companies/ startups for Ui/Ux designer / product designer job positions. Despite putting my best foot forward and ensuring my applications were tailored to each role, I haven't received any responses. I even applied through platforms like Well Found, where my applications were accepted, but unfortunately, I wasn't scheduled for any interviews.

This journey has been challenging and disheartening, but I'm determined to keep pushing forward. I'd like to ask for your advice and insights on the. Feedback and improvement.

How to transition from engineering to product management?

I work in one of Big 4 companies as a front-end developer. I am currently learning the backend as my project doesn't have any FE work. There are lots of politics now in my team as compared to the previous year, i was denied a well-deserved promotion for some weird reasons, and the hike was low too. Decided to do bare minimum work now and focus on studying for switch.

Could anyone please help on how to get started on preparation for DSA and what other things to focus on to secure a product based company?

YOE -6
Skills - PHP, React JS, JAVA. Have working experience on Automation testing as well.

Is anyone who had switched from prod to service based , why did you do that ? Recently i had read a post where people are talking about low quality work on FAANG and high quality work on startups. I had personally seen a manager coming from Microsoft to Wipro , and  a guy from Amazon to IBM .... ??

Switch Product to Service based Companies

Cloud Architect

When i was in college i wanted to build my own company/product. Thought of many ideas and tried to build something. None of them worked and it affected my studies so I had to quit just to clear my exams.

After college I took placements in a WITCH like company where I got put into data entry/operations job after clearing difficult coding interviews (kismat kharab?). 
Somehow learnt new technologies on the side and managed to switch to a development role at a lower salary in a startup.

After 3 years Worked hard on DSA and (barely) managed to get a good offer with above average pay. But the company is not stable anymore and may layoff at any time. 
Right now struggling to learn enough DSA to crack any company.
Now I am almost 30, i have no hobbies,no talents, no relationships just trying to have a stable career.

I see people everywhere doing so many things at once. How do they manage to do this.
They are working at FAANG and managing businesses at the same time, have a bunch of friends.
What am I doing wrong?

Just a long rant about life

It is just luck + hardwork man. Work harder at everything and you will get there.

Hi,

I have been working in the Software Industry for the past 9 years. I feel like I have made a good use of my time and money and maybe some of my lessons can help you folks as well. Recently did a calculation for my NW and I am happy and proud to see my NW crossing 2CR+. I have 0 debt and do not own a house. Here is how my portfolio look like

I see a lot of similar questions and I'll try to answer them here.

>>>>>>CTC Progression<<<<

My current CTC is 1.3CR . 50% is cash, 50% is stocks.

Here is my CTC progression over the years

1st - 12L
2nd - 12L (Switched Companies)
3rd - 15L 
4th - 24L (Switched companies)
5th - 42L (Switched Companies)
6th - 48L
7th - 66L
8th - 72L
9th - 1.3Cr (Switched Companies)

As you can see I almost everytimg doubled my compensation when I switched my companies. But there are reasons to stay at a company as well. If you are learning and are able to handle different problems at scale, stay. When you feel stuck, leave and look for better opportunities. I have never switched job to get more money. I love CS. I have been coding since 15 years. What made me switch was either bad managers, uninteresting problems not visibility of learning and growth.

After 6 yoe able to save 1.8cr

Hi Friends, I was working for past 2.5 yrs in wipro. I know languages like sql, power bi, python. But after joining wipro they allocated me in c++ skill and also they didn't allocated me in proper technical project until 1st yr. In the second year i went into bench then after 3 mnths HR called me and told if i not got any project LOP will be initiated. So i searched for even non technical opportunity and got one, finally i was working in technical support shift basis. 

Now I want to switch company with my old skills but i not having proper handson in projects. How can I get handson and can crack the interview. And also how I can explain the experience without any work. Please suggest me.
