I haven't rejoined any of my previous organisations so far and am planning to maintain the same for as long as possible.

I joined my current org 2 years back. For the majority of the time I have been given or been on non productive tasks. Now they have put me on a support project, which I'm not interested in at all. Should I switch my company?

Software Engineer

In August, I joined a new organization following the closure of my previous one. Things are going exceptionally well – my manager is pleased with my performance, and I'm learning a great deal. Workload is manageable, and during a casual web browse, I discovered high-paying job openings in my field. Now, I'm contemplating whether pursuing interviews is the right move, given the rare opportunities. I've had one-year stints at two previous companies; I'm curious about the potential impact on my career. Appreciate your insights.

Considering leaving my recent job for a higher-paying opportunity – thoughts?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I had a short stint in a firm like < 3 months... so If I don't show this experience in my resume will it come later in background verification? 
The thing here is there's this small Joining bonus associated with this and if the candidate doesn't show this experience, he doesn't have to do pay it back in fnf recovery but got to trade off experience and relieving letter which doesn't matter in this case as the experience is quite short here. 

so folks any experiences or views around this?

Program Manager

As the title describes, have been pondering whether staying at one single company makes you an undesirable candidate for hiring or not. This is my first job and have been in Z since the last 2.5 years

Switching companies vs. staying in one company

I am thinking of leaving my current job and focus on myself, getting to know myself better etc. Currently I have enough money saved for my expenses for next 6-8 months. 
   Everyone I have asked about this say don't leave your job if you don't have another lined up, in this tech winter. I understand their view point. It aligns with what my parents think as well.

Is there anyone who has had done this in the past? Do you recommend this route? Are the consequences far too severe? Does anyone have a different opinion from one stated above?

Anyone ever left job without having another job lying around for their mental peace?

Consultant

Are you guys contributing to open source? Are there any good open source projects specially in Spring Boot. 

Also Open source contribution gives me an edge over others in interviews?

Open source contribution!!

Looking for genuine and non diplomatic answers since it will be anonymous. It is upto you to reveal the name of the company you resigned from.

Lets discuss!!! I will go first -

I quit my last organisation (a famous UPI company) in 2020 because, they still are in old technology. No cloud computing, no kubernates, no terraform. Their entire baremetal infra are in 2 DCs (Mumbai and Bangalore). Leadership ideas are outdated. I was very much bored and looking for a change.

Why did you resign?

DevOps Engineer

I have been working for the past 8 years and have had a good career so far with a degree from a great college. However i have been feeling very burnt out recently and I'm losing the motivation to do things on my own.

I am considering taking a break for a few months (3-6). I have good savings and minimal debt. My spouse has a stable job so i may be able to afford it. 

I want to use this time to just do nothing for a while, take a few courses and pursue some hobbies. Maybe travel a little bit. 

I want to also use this time to figure out how to break the loop of getting to a burnout stage.

Has anyone ever done something like this? What has your experience been like?

Considering a career break

Product Manager

Hi Guys,

I am senior dev with 10+ yrs of experience. I am working remotely for last 3 yrs. I want to move to my hometown which is tier 3 city. The main purpose of moving is because my daughter can have company of my parents, saving money and slow pace life.

The infra, schools and hospitals here are better then what i get in my area in Pune

Has anyone moved to tier 3 cities in case of remote job? How has been experience so far?

My only fomo is that what in the future i need to switch, will i be able to find the remote job easily? How hard it is to find the remote job?

Moving to Tier 3 for saving and slow pace life……..

Engineering manager

Is it good to go back to previous company which gave you career to start with and  you have Cherished so many memories. If they are ready to give 100+% package.

Story here:
I left earlier previous company due to I want to gain more experience in new technology and get some hands in development. During that period also they tried to retain but more than package I concentrated to gain more hands in Development. Now once again I'm not happy with my current company which is accenture, as so much politics, upon being so much dedication didn't receive any hike or promotion since 2.5 years , so I'm getting again opportunity to work in my previous company. So need your valuable suggestions on how to proceed?? Is it good to join previous company??

Need advice

Software Developer

For some context: I have about 4.5 YoE & 3 years directly in product along with Master’s level qualification. Primarily have worked with early stage start ups and have experienced similar challenges in each so avoiding this segment and red flag companies (taking Glassdoor, ambition box reviews as the basis here)
But a few people/seniors are suggesting to consider any opportunity with any kind of company as the market is bad. 

So wanted some perspective on the risk of career gap on resume vs being stuck in a similar company and going through the same job search process maybe 6 months or a year down the line? What would be a better trade off? 

P.S: Currently I am able to focus on overall up skilling and whatever is needed to clear job interviews and have decent financial security & runway. 

Any advice/perspectives are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Affected by layoffs but being picky about next role

After u have reached comfort zone in ur job, what would trigger u to quit?
1. Pay disparity for ur yoe crosses some X L +. Define ur X and this means u didn’t get hike
2. Change in team/manager/scope of ur work
3. Toxic processes or changes driven from top
4. Unable to see growth
These are just my points. Let me know what would be ur reason

Post comfort zone, what drives you to quit?

Joined an organisation 4 months back with very minimal hike and also relocated but no learning is there. Should I switch ?
