Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I have 3 years of QA exp and then 1 year break . I see on YouTube the interview of many folks who made to unicorns and high paying developer roles. I wanted to know that is possible for someone like me to achieve so.
What shall I do that I get calls from such companies. Enrolling at courses at upgrad etc is too costly and I already have 1 year break.
Can anyone here tell me what shall I do. What shall I do that I get noticed by their recruiters.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hi guys, 

As a fresher I joined CG, where I got trained and have 2 year experience in software testing, but from beginning I had interest in development, I requested many times to manager but no proper response. And now I got laid off.

Currently searching job as a software
 tester, it's been 6 months no proper interview call getting scheduled

I'm very confused should I continue with testing profile or this is the time to upskill and look for dev role

I have enrolled in full stack course too.

Please give me your opinion on should I continue job hunt for testing or start new
Journey as full stack developer?

Thank you

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hey folks, i hope you all are doing well!

I have around 6 yrs of experience now including 6 months of internship in Enterprise Support role for Kubernetes product in a big Product based MNC.

I have been in the same company for 5.5 years post my internship, within these 5.5 years I switched to our cloud services team like a DevOps role 2 years back. 

My role is a Senior Software Engineer but I am not coding much rather its mix of both Operations and Coding sometimes, because of which my development knowledge is rusty and also my DSA too. But I have been able to get things done which are necessary as a part of my daily job. Be it feature development, releases, operations and troubleshooting customer environments. So performance wise I’m doing well I believe. And I’m getting below package.

So I got hikes also the package I’m getting is around (35 LPA Fixed + 5 Lacs bonus) have stocks around 10 lacs(just 2.5 lacs per year) 

Now the main point is even though I’m earning sone money 

1] I’m not learning much from the software development perspective and I think work wise I don’t have much experience in pure development, so now I’m stuck how can I make a move to a good unicorn startup as a SDE/SRE? Please suggest any ideas to make such a move.

2] I strongly believe that I’m earning less than what I should be earning after spending 6 yrs in IT. Nowadays 3-4 So now I’m thinking of switching to a different company but again the point [1] comes in my way.

3] How much minimum amount of I should be earning as a base salary, bonus and stocks in a big product MNC or a Bangalore startup ? 

Looking for advices to learn and which way should I be taking to learn more and get a job where I’ll be doing proper Dev work, please advice on the way to take to do this transition.

Thank you!

Product Manager

Hello fellow engineers , 
I am quite struggling with the job switch considering the Market.

I have 1.5 yoe in CloudOps,7.5 lpa ,WFH 


 I wanted to switch to SDE 1 role ,but guys guess what applied like 250.jobs in past 28 days , I didn't receive a single call from HR.


Should I consider pursuing M.tech from IIT (crack gate with good score) as IIT placement offer high package like normally good companies visit them with 18-35 lpa.

I am not being greedy, I need to support my mother, I need to get her OWN house and all the best things she sacrificed to teach me .
That's the reason I need to earn more .

Senior Engineer

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 Business Roles's Private Community

my_qualification: B.Tech IT from tier-3 college. 70%
I am 24 years old. I graduated in 2021 and had total 13 backlogs during UG and it took me 5 years to complete my degree. I am unemployed since my graduation and have been wasting my time on learning random things or multiple technologies at a same time. 2 months ago I decided to go to Canada for masters and my family supported me, my friend suggested me MS Data Science because he is Data Scientist in Canada. So, I gave IELTS in March and scored 7 band. Recently I had a talk with an Agency named Canam. And they suggested me to get Experience Letter + offer letter + LOR from employer + last 6 months payslip also Backlog Certificate from college but I don't have any of these things. What should I do in this situation? How should I move forward? How can I get my life on track? I'm just confused and not sure what should I do.

DoorDash Interview: Tips Needed

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

I am a  product designer with just 6 months of exp now in a product company. My pay her is 8LPA. And the worklife balance here sucks. I'm always working overtime. 

How do I join unicorn startups with great pay? Should I have to create impact in my current work and talk about it? Or do a personal project? And how much hike can I ask for?

Hey fellows from product design! How does one transition from a mediocre company to a unicorn startup with a great culture and a great Pay?

I am looking for a change in QA role with 3 years in QA, and overall 6 years of experience.
Mainly working on android app and worked on ios as well as web.

Any leads/referral will be helpful.

Is there any start-up hiring for the QA role?

Hi all, 
I am a recent BCA graduate , from tier 3 college. I was hoping that i would get a chance to work on amazing techstack when i joined Deloitte but unfortunately they onboarded me pretty late and i had already rejected offers for few organisations for the role of SDE, junior AI/ML associate and so on in the respective field. I did this because i was hoping that Big4 is a better place to learn and grow. When i joined in Feb 23 i was given training on Software Testing where i don’t have interest and i tried reaching higher ups but they told i might get a chance to work on tech i am interested in when i get projects. So i pursued this and got project on Testing as well, there also people said if you want to work on other areas there is no guarantee but you can help the developers as well and learn. Maybe you will get the chance to shift from QA but no guarantee. 
I am so frustrated with my current position, wherever i am applying they are not hiring me for the reason of having irrelevant experience and i can’t do internships as my family condition is not good and i have to constantly support them. I am stuck between quitting and taking a break due to financial problems but if i continue this how will i build relevant experience and switch to a different organisation. 

I request everyone to kindly help me getting a clarity, what should i do ? 
Can anyone help me get a different job role somewhere else? 
I am open to work in the field of Data and AI , Analytics as well.

Thinking of quitting the firm, need Help!

I am working remotely at a SaaS company for 4+ years now. I started working since my final year of engineering. I joined here as a software engineering intern when the product was really new and booming. I have gotten bored of my work now, especially since I have been working from home all the time. I have very little social life. And I am getting fixed salary of about $1400 each month. I am thinking of switching to any Indian startup because I am not happy with my job being so monotonous and less pay at this level of experience. What should be the approach to crack the interviews? I have done DSA practice during my college days, but didn't crack any interviews with it. I am a full stack web developer but it doesn't excite me anymore and I want to stick to backend roles. And is it possible to crack an interview with for 30-40 LPA at this stage? Or do I have to climb up a salary ladder for a couple of years?
