Need guidance

I'm in tier 2 engineering college just completed my first year and just learnt C not 100% but tried to know the basics
I'm confused to choose a path in coding
What should i start learning how to learn these languages im so confused rn each and everyone is saying something different one is saying go for c++ then dsa someone is saying go for WEB dev
I wanna learn something that'll help me in college as well as make me earn that much that i can fulfill my basic needs in college
And lastly how to be motivated always to grind and learn as well as code cause i always lose motivation after few days because of fear that i don't know anything and I'm just a average student
I'm scared that my college years will be waste if i didn't learn anything beforehand 
Please someone guide me the roadmap how and what to do

Seriously confused need guidance!

Hi everyone, I am a final year CSE student graduating in June 2024.

I have got on campus placement in a good startup based company, and my internship(SDE INTERN) is currently going on. Also, I have developed and learned a lot in these past months.

Now, I am clueless, for the upcoming years. I mean, what new skills to learn and grow as software developer. I have researched about it, and currently AI and blockchain are the major dominant fields, I feeled.

Also, I need to know DO's / DONT's from all of you, for me (as a newbie in software fields jobs) that should be know.

All your feedbacks and guidance are highly appreciated 🙏 . Hoping to connect with all great minds.

PS: Be as natural to me

Need guidance for newbie in Software Field

SDE Intern

I have 1.5 YoE as a frontend developer in an early stage startup. 

I need help with deciding where do I go from here? Do I deep dive into frontend? Do I try to move to full stack?

Things to consider:
- I am from a non CS background
- frontend in India seems to be a bit saturated, especially for entry/mid level roles.

I'd appreciate your advice, thanks :)

Planning my career as a frontend developer

Frontend Engineer

[TLDR: Should I start learning web3 stuff and ditch the Android path, please read my 3 questions below(at the bottom) to answer my doubts ]

I am currently a 2nd year student in 3rd semester, in my 1st year I explored a bunch of domains like web development, front-end stuff, cyber security like Metasploit, app development, cloud(Aws)

I decided to stick to app development and learned Flutter and in 4 months of learning and side-by-side project building I landed my first remote internship(India only) and it will end this coming November around the 10th or so, 

I have figured out I don't like the front end at all and now I don't see myself as an app dev because I don't enjoy working on this 

I am thinking of switching to web3 tech stack which has things like working on eth, and Solana blockchains etc., this field piques my interest on a philosophical level which is one my prime motivators for all the actions I take related to my career besides money

Here are my questions (senior people also please bestow me your wisdom) 

1) I learned Flutter which is relatively easy to other frameworks in 4 months and got an internship, is my speed good? I was a commerce student in school with basically no coding knowledge  before college and I have heard you need to adapt fast, do you think this is good enough or I should improve in this area

2) Should I start learning web3 and ditch the app dev path, I am thinking of committing to web3 for these 2 coming years because I will graduate in 2026, and my college has no placement, I have learned solidity for now.

3) If I stick to web3 for a few years and become proficient at it, will it affect the money in my career because by 2 years I will have huge family responsibilities

Web3 or App dev path, any wisdom will be appreciated

RPA Developer

I did my graduation in Mechanical Engineering from Delhi Technological University. Worked my ass off during covid lockdown to grab a Software developer job. Number of hours spent on DSA and development for straight 3 years. 

I was able to grab a decent package being from mechanical background. Currently i am working in Accenture as a software developer -> Java full stack developer + Angular (12LPA ctc, 9 Base)

I want to work in a product based company which has better opportunities for me because i feel there is very limited opportunities in accenture and somehow people do not encourage to go for them at all. 

I need guidance on which companies should i be looking for great opportunities, great tech stack, with good management. Salary is never a obstacle for me. I am just looking for growth at this point of time in my career. Currently i am back to DSA again for interview preps.

YoE: 10.7 (7@amazon — SDE3 for 2.7 years)
Current designation: SDE3
Current salary : 92L + 25L stock
Location: BLR, IN 

I got a call from google for L7 role (BLR) which is staff role in India afaik. HR mentioned Payrange: 2-3Cr

I get mixed reviews from people so asking again for BLR folks: 

1. Amount of focus on coding round vs system design?
2. Amount of leet code preparation?
3. In the interview Is the focus more on leadership or knowing deeper tech nuances? 
4. What’s the payrange I can get?
5. Is google L7 equivalent of amazon L6? Levels.fyi has split so not exactly sure. 

I am looking for responses from people who have actually gone through similar experiences rather than “I heard from my sources”.

Hello people, please let me know how many of the people on grapevine have an average salary around 50lpa +, how does this even work. I mean how did you reach that level in engineering position. What tech stack helped you, is it better to be a specialist or generalist. Let’s say I’m a ML engineer, what should I do to achieve that level. Thank you.

Data Scientist

I'm a 2023 grad, and gained 6 months of experience in RPA, specifically Power Automate and Apps. 
However, I'm facing a lack of growth in my current role, as the projects as less.

I've become comfortable with my current situation, receiving a consistent salary and doing wfh, but now I'm concerned about the future and the stagnation of my skill set.

I've decided to upskill myself with a more relevant tech stack. I'm confused between opting for 
1. Java backend with Spring Boot.
2. MERN stack. 
3. Upkill in power automate, apps. 

As a fresher, I'm unsure which path to take. Any advice would be appreciated.

Confusion hai, solution pata nahi🥲

Hope you all are good. I have 2 years of experience in software development. I need some guidance on how to move forward. Currently my tech stack is dotnet, aws & c#.

A NEW LEARNER.

Hi , can folks here guide steps /suggest how to get SDE role at entry role . I regret giving 2 yrs a career for the civil services exam. I graduated with BTech in  2021 . If I had only sat for college placements at my Tier 1 college, I wouldn't have been living with regrets. I have been doing projects in the MERN stack . I also have skills like Postgresql, Trpc and am familiar with using ORMs and type validators like Zod . Since I had no previous experience at internship or full time , no companies are shortlisting my profile .
