Complete 6 more mos. Don’t switch too frequently

This is my first job right after college and I'm not currently satisfied with the package they've provided for the work that I do, though I guess a lot of people feel like that 😅

AI Engineer

That feeling will always be there even if you get more than 50 LPA. I would suggest to focus on learning skills if you're not struggling financially. If the compensation is way too less and you're not learning much then switch as early as you can.

Engineering Manager

Product Marketing Manager

I feel like the package I'm getting is not really representative of the work I do for them. Also there are other reasons that get a bit too specific that I can't really talk about 😅

I have 6 months of experience as an AI Engineer in a small startup and I was wondering if that's enough experience to switch to a different company?

I am not very fond of the culture at my new company and want to switch jobs within 6 months of joining? Is this frowned upon or is it a common occurrence across the industry? I just don’t want this to tarnish my reputation or harm my future prospects. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I joined as fresher almost 2y ago. I am pretty much skilled and certified in my technology. Is it the right time for me to switch? My lead tells me to work for atleast 1 more year and complete atleast 3 years in my first company. What should I do?

What is the ideal time for me to switch?

Software Developer

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?

Machine Learning Engineer

I have been recently trying switch from one fintech company to another but i feel they are low-balling the compensation saying that my YOE aren't enough. 
The first one was a early stage startup and this one is a unicorn. Technically i have only a year of experience if i count my masters and bachelors both but otherwise i have almost 5 years of work experience along with GSoC and leading small teams( 5 - 10). Should i the accept the offer or wait for the company to agree ?

FYI - The difference is almost around 10L between what i am askinf and what they have proposed.

YOE is a myth?

I'm from tier 2-3 collage , got an internship in Chennai. P.s. i m from north india so huge culture gap and Language barrier. 
I was selected for the job role of data science engineer . but they have put me in SDE.
I have a good dsa skills, with enough experience in development in web and Multiple projects in AI/ML . They haven't considered my profile before assigning me to a team, no sh*t i want to switch this company asap. and in some other city like bangalore.. or Gurgaon. But as far as I can see.. there are no responses from the company i m applying to which is understandable. It is kind of implied that i have to spend at least a year before getting another job. 

Is there anyone who can suggest some ways to get me any Interview?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I have ~4 yrs of experience. I have worked for 2 big unicorn brands to begin with. Then i have joined a smaller and not much known startup. I am looking to switch from this startup to a better and bigger brand. Will my last work experience become a roadblock?

Please share opinion folks. Would be helpful to understand how the hiring game works 🙏

Product Manager

I want to switch to a product based company. I am very good at DSA ( python - since I am in the AIML field ). Now I feel like moving into a complete SDE in python. I am more interested in devops, python tool development, microservices etc...If I prepare DSA ( python ) and system design will it be enough to take a switch, and I am confused with selecting the companies.
I have done 5 yrs mtech ( cse + ds ) from VIT Vellore. Any suggestions pls

I have 1 year of exp with 11.5 lpa, working as an AIML engineer in a service based company.

I want to know the right time to switch?
How much time should someone with 5-7 yrs of experience in product / business strategy spend in one company (ideally)?

Context: 
I am in a product strategy role where I am working with the founders and leadership team.
I have done engineering and MBA from tier 1 colleges.
I have 2 yrs of pre MBA and 4.2 yrs of post MBA experience. My Annual compensation is the range of 35-40 lpa.
Post MBA, I have done a startup for 1.5 yrs, worked in 2 unicorns for 1 yr each.
In a serious B funded startup right now with 9 months of experience.

Right time to switch?

I'm in an Indian crypto startup about 1y5m into existence and our product is in early beta right now. I've been a part since about 1y3m. I was the first hire.

The reason I'm considering a switch is because i was told we're a remote first company at the time of interviewing and after my joining they switched to in-office and all hires after me were required to relocate. They haven't made it a requirement for me yet.
I can't relocate, but now everyone except me is in-office and there's always a disconnect between me and the team. 

Decisions and discussions are done without me and I'm just told what they concluded. Sometimes even deadlines are set without informing me about the task even and i have to work/manage according to them.

I'm also technically the senior-most person after the CTO/manager (all others are either freshers or 1YOE). This has sort of restricted my growth as there's no one to review my prs or someone i can have a deep dive technical conversation with.

By how much I understand the manager and team are happy with me and my work. Also, I'm possibly the highest paid dev even as compared to the ones with the similar YOE.

I'm a frontend/fullstack engineer and the quality of work seems fine but i feel i could be doing and learning more in my field.

The culture and WLB has changed slowly for the worse as compared to when i was hired. 
Stuff like the leave policy and the whole in-office thing are the negatives.
But the manager doesn't ping me much regarding my work so that's a plus.

Switching doesn't feel ethical as the majority of the code is written by me and we're an early stage startup.
Not to mention with layoffs happening all around and a possible recession around the corner, it's not the best choice to switch i guess.

Any suggestions would be helpful!

If your company is hiring please let me know that as well.

TC - ₹18lakhs pa
YOE - 1y4m + 1y6m if you count startup contract work as exp

Is it a right time to switch job?

just curious what the community thinks? 

i’ve heard that some tech startups (especially crypto ones) pay a lot but sometimes go bust within 6-7 months so often engineers have a short tenure on their resumes. also sometimes engineers just job hop. 

i’ve also switched a company after 7-8 months as i didn’t like it. i’m curious how resumes are looked at! how short is too short? how many such experiences will establish a pattern?

how much short tenure is too bad?

This post is regarding advice for the job switch now.  What are the market conditions? If we switch now, will there be fair opportunities? Can we negotiate well? Or should I wait another 6 months for the market to be stable?

I am a software engineer with around 1.5 years of experience. My tech stack majorly includes Spring Boot and React. 

Thank you in advance.
