Data engineer

I’m stuck in mediocre paying job as a Backend Engineer from past 1.5 years. I want to switch but I can’t. I’m unable to came out of comfort zone.
Can anyone suggest some good strategies to stay motivated and focused on your job search despite the challenges.

How do you find motivation to switch?

But I will not give up.

Software Developer

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hi all

I am currently working as a business analyst for about 6 months now. Earlier was in a back end development team but was underperforming as could not really figure out what to do. I don’t like coding. The current role suits me but I don’t know if it has a good future.

Current role - Analyse old product (old code) (understand the complete functionality)
Suggest enhancements if asked for by the client.
Give demos to on-site people/developers
Test the modernised version of the product (started very recently. Called “functional testing”)

Can I switch to a different company with a good jump in pay in future? I feel like the work I do is not really considered worthy and hence there is no growth in this field. 

Please suggest how to move forward. Would like to work for another year or two and then go for an MBA abroad.

Future seems bleak

Analyst

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I have an onshore counterpart, one level above me. We two are setting up the project and conducting workshops. The problems I have are:

1. I work in the B shift from 2 PM to 11 PM since the client is in PST. But i login usually at 10-11
2. My onshore counterpart works in EST but logs in very late.
3. Although I work in the B shift, I often extend until 1 AM because I am preparing all the PPTs and doing research. I have to explain everything I do daily for 2-3 hours. She schedules meetings during the PST afternoon to present that work.
4. It has been 2 months of the same routine. In every weekly stand-up, she gets appreciation as if she did the work and research, without giving me any credit.
5. I can escalate the issue, but no one will listen because she has been here for 12 years, whereas I joined a year ago. She has strong networking with the leadership, which I lack.
6. I can ask for release, but I like this project and have provided solutions for some challenging gaps. I feel very bad because I work for 16-18 hours per day. She could schedule the meeting in the PST morning, but she purposely schedules it in the PST afternoon and gets the credit for my work.

PS: i saw her creating a transcript to read during the meeting

Do people like this really exist? If you have personal commitments, why come to work? Don’t you have a conscience and feel guilty about stealing credit for others’ work? Nowadays, there are many posts related to stopping gender-based reservations. Is it because of situations like this?

Struggling with Credit Thief Daily😒

Associate Manager

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Started working in a new org two months back as a PM.
while discussing new requirememts with the tech I am always affraid that whatever I am saying is correct or not. As I am not familiar with all the systems.
Sometimes during sprint planning tech will tell me or my manager would say you missed this scenario or this functionality works like this so we may have some issue in approach you are taking.

I feel like everyone is  judging me if I am making any mistake.

No idea how to overcome this , pretty low on confidence now a days and keep on thinking am I good enough ?

Imposter syndrome

Product Manager

I’m a product analyst with 2.5 YOE making 13.5LPA at startup.

I have been offered 18 + 2 LPA at a conglomerate for product analyst role.

Pros:
1. New Tools to work with
2. Hybrid Model
3. Good WLB
4. No Volatility 

Cons
1. Product Analyst Role again (I wanted to get into senior level roles)

Do you think I should wait it out and play the long game? or take the offer and chill.

They were layoffs at my current firm and they are acting very stringent about timings, travelling in Bangalore traffic is a big dealbreaker in itself, but there’s an appraisal cycle coming (with no hopes of a solid appraisal but I might get promoted and I also like the work and team at current firm)

Product Analyst for 18LPA

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I joined TCS 3yrs ago and since then I couldn't switch. I am planning since last year March but actually not able to work on it. Even I couldn't apply actively. Currently I am involved in a role which has nothing to do with development and I feel bit less confident. So I want to know why it is so hard to leave? Does everyone feel same? Is this ecosystem somewhat responsible for this?

Why is it so hard to leave first company?

6 YOE joining 5th company next month.  
    
  Never let a retard shame you for job hopping.  
  Job hopping is one of the fewest ways to attain some economic mobility in this shithole country.   
  For a corporation understand that you're a fungible resource. They'll throw you under the bus once you've outlived their utility. Always lookout for your own personal interest first.

I'm the top performer in my team but keep getting passed over for promotion. At what point do you confront management or just move on?

Recently, every friend or colleague of mine have been on rant mode and very dissatisfied with jobs despite being paid bomb money and crazy esops.

Is everyone in every organisation in all functions so unhappy or is this just GenZ problem of setting wrong expectations from the Job?

Does anyone exists who actually loves their job?

Working as an SDE2 right now. Got promoted recently. Motivation to work is at an all-time low. Feels like I am stuck in a rat race. Is this normal? I see senior engineers in my team and frankly, I don't want to end up like them in the next few years. Immense respect for their skills and what they bring to the table, but I don't see myself doing that. I have a few options to consider:

Bucket 1
Keep grinding at my current role
Decent growth (career and money)
Stable life, certainity
Low Risk, Moderate Reward

Bucket 2
Coast at current role
Look for a switch (preferably outside India)
Make a lot of money
Basically, follow this and keep climbing the ladder
Boring AF

Bucket 1 and Bucket 2 can probably be merged, keeping them separate as it is very different in reality.

Bucket 3 (The Interesting Bucket)
Coast at current role
Build micro-SaaS solutions, contribute to open source, build problem solving attitude
Startup someday
Could result in slow growth, might end up wasting a few years.

The real constraint? I have to support a family. All expenses. We have no other income source at this point. Taking any risk with income is a big deal for me.

Just ranting here. I am not expecting a clear pick. Just looking for more opinions on what I am thinking, and maybe understand if I am overthinking.

What should I do next?

Hi,

I have been working in the Software Industry for the past 9 years. I feel like I have made a good use of my time and money and maybe some of my lessons can help you folks as well. Recently did a calculation for my NW and I am happy and proud to see my NW crossing 2CR+. I have 0 debt and do not own a house. Here is how my portfolio look like

TC: 1.3 Cr
YOE: 9

I am happy to do an AMA. Ask me anything about tech, career, love, marriage, money management, therapy, songs and movies.
#Ask Me Anything #ama #amazon #atlassian #google #startups #bengaluru #networth #money management #finance #india

Sorry if delay in responses, I'll answer all your questions eventually.

I see a lot of similar questions and I'll try to answer them here.

>>>>>>CTC Progression<<<<

My current CTC is 1.3CR . 50% is cash, 50% is stocks.

Here is my CTC progression over the years

1st - 12L
2nd - 12L (Switched Companies)
3rd - 15L 
4th - 24L (Switched companies)
5th - 42L (Switched Companies)
6th - 48L
7th - 66L
8th - 72L
9th - 1.3Cr (Switched Companies)

As you can see I almost everytimg doubled my compensation when I switched my companies. But there are reasons to stay at a company as well. If you are learning and are able to handle different problems at scale, stay. When you feel stuck, leave and look for better opportunities. I have never switched job to get more money. I love CS. I have been coding since 15 years. What made me switch was either bad managers, uninteresting problems not visibility of learning and growth.

Me thinking to switch after every 2 years max, for bettter opportunity 🤟, and better hike. Because eventually after 1-2 year, you reach saturation point. 

My concern is It is good to switch to new company even if current company is really good with you in all the way possible.... Except giving salary hike😔

Should I keep switching after every 2 year

I know in job switch rejection is a part of the process but sometimes when you have high hopes for a company, which you want to join and you get rejected in the last round or in between rounds in that situation it feels very bad and it becomes very difficult to keep your momentum for a while and it affects your performance in other interviews and in your current company work also.
Can you guys share your experience in these situations and how to handle these situations ?

How to keep your motivation high in your job switch journey ?

I have Angular, DotNet, SAP cloud etc major experience in Startup as well as MNC. but still getting paid below 5LPA.

I want to switch but past 1 year , it's getting demotivating feeling.

I am unable to switch despite of leetcode, code chef etc.

Can't switch even if I want to

When I was job hunting a few months back, I told the head hunter that a couple of companies she proposed was not something I believed in, in the nicest way possible. Maybe a dick move, idk. She told me it’ll be impossible for me to find a job in this market if this was my attitude. 

After that, a month later, she ghosted me when I asked her if she has any leads. I spoke to a few friends and they said it’s a good thing to want to truly believe in what the company does and few told me it didn’t matter. 

To me it does, because I have always worked in very early startups and I see my time also as an investment. And not to mention, early stage startups are tedious to work in. You lose your motivation if you don’t feel like you’re contributing to a great extent in multiple areas. 

What’s your take on it? Is it alright as long as you get the money in your account?

How many of you truly believe in what you do at work?

Growth Manager

Currently the company work at,  isn't doing good. We have had a lot of layoffs and the people that are left are either trying to switch jobs or are stuck due to external factors. 
There has been little to no communication from our management and we have no idea about the future of the company.
