Then dont focus on industry. Focus on getting good work anywhere on skills you have.

Senior product manager

I’d say prioritise the HM. Understand his/her work style, talk to their current reportees and try to do your due diligence. Apart from that look for the growth prospects of the company.

Product Manager

Unfortunately, you can't tell much about the HM from just a couple of interviews.

How come you are able to pick industries while looking out for your first job? 😲( profile says Student, unless you are a lifelong student kinda person 😂) 
 The rest of us just make do with whoever is willing to give us a job.

Feeling clueless about which industry (problem statement) would be interesting to me. Your perspective will help.

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

I'm a Senior QA Engineer with 7.5 yoe in gaming, e-commerce domain. 
I've been severely burnt out due to covid, repetitive work in QA and nothing new or building.
I've been exploring and interested in building products, startups, marketing, design, product roles.
I'm in a crossroad to choose the next role I can focus on. 
What would you do if you were in my place?
I'm also thinking to take IELTS and apply for MBA or some masters in Europe. How well would that workout?

Need a perspective, in a crossroad.

Software Test- QA

Hi,
I am a 2023 passout btech graduate. Currently I am working as a full time SDE (Full Stack) in a well established startup (8 years old , Series A funded). It's been nearly half year here.

My compensation is 10.5 lakh base + 4.5 lakh performance bonus + free lunch and snacks + Insurance (Including parents) benefits 

I am pretty good at DSA (around 2000 rating on leetcode, 4 Star at codechef in 2nd year itself, 2000+ dsa problems)

I have worked in 2 startups as an SDE intern during college days and completed 5 internships overall out of which one was a US based startup. Also, I have many publications under my name over the internet.

I had many offers when I was graduating from college.

Most of the time people say, "Hey, you have done so much so Why are you not working in a big tech". Well I always wanted to work for big tech during college days but after I started working in startups my thought process changed  as here I got the ownership of the product.

Now it has been nearly 1 year since I started working in startups. Should I give it a try for big tech now?

Would like to hear your views guys

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi! Can you please suggest websites or apps to get mentorship or exposure. I'll go first - ADPList.

Websites/apps to get mentorship or exposure

Business analyst

31f. I'm on the verge of completing my PhD. I've always been in academia and very sceptical about switching to industry as my friends who work in the industry complain about the long tedious hours of work, random-hours meetings, sleep deprivation, meeting targets, the list goes on. 
The only advantage of industry is the money and the fact the work is more business-like.
 
In academia, it's about research, take breaks any time, relaxed life but the pay is terrible. 

I would love to know about your perspective on academia vs. industry.

Academia vs. industry

I’m dumbfounded when the best piece of advice I hear is that its a numbers game and probability is supreme.
There’s got to be a strategy that one applies to shortlist from the ocean of offers out there.

- applying in the same domain as your current company?
- platform or regions where recruiters are more active?
- directly talking to freelance HMs and doing a deal?

If no hack, just share what worked for you? And how are you optimising the job searching?

Give me your best strategies for job hunting?

After working for 2 years as a Frontend dev fresh out of college, I was looking to prep for a change now. 

A lot of what I searched about frontend interviews involved JS/HTML/CSS and some framework-specific fundamentals which makes sense. However, I've also seen a lot about people brushing up on algorithms, practising leetcode which I found painful since it rarely pops up in actual work, if at all.

Any idea on what I should focus on? Or any help when navigating the interview process?

Interview prep as a Frontend Dev?

I've been working in the SharePoint domain and recently completed two years at Cognizant. Unfortunately, I didn't get any work during this time. However, I discovered a passion for data analytics and now want to pursue a career in this field. I know the necessary tools, but most companies require experienced candidates.

I've given two interviews but felt unsure while  explaining projects.

I would appreciate it if someone in the data analytics field could provide an overview of their real project. Specifically, I'd like to know what they did, their role, the length of the project, and how everything worked in the company.

I don't understand people who have been with one organisation for 10, 15, 20 years. I can't even think beyond 3 years and that's a stretch too.
