If you feel you are not happy there and also not growing professionally there then simply switch to a new job.

Software Test - QA

Just go with the flow and have a never say never attitude. Whatever tasks come your way just do it without complaining much in the initial days thereby ensuring you build a good rapport with your peers and seniors. Try to be in good books of your seniors and management as a whole. Initial days will be a bit tough but definitely rewarding in a long run.

Software Developer

I am a software engineer with 3 years of experience .For the first two initial years I was working as a QA in one of the good product companies with a very sorted work life balance .
I had recently switched to a BE role in a startup 
I am very much lagging behind here because of my QA background  ,the people here are very much talented and are great problem solvers .How do I reach that level ?
I have been  struggling to keep up with the pace here and finding it difficult to approach the tasks,even though i have been giving so much of time to work .
And the TL  in my team have a certain amount of expectations and hence they don't help according to that .(which i feel is fair)
How should I approach this  and level up here 
Anyone with a similar background and story please share your experience :) 
Any advice would really help

I've been looking for react js developer role and I am fresher but every company I approach they want experience react js developer what should I do in this case. Should I learn more technologies like next js, typescript to embrace my resume infront of recruiter or anything else. 

Please provide me with your suggestions!

What should I do if company wants experience react js dev

I made a series of bad decisions, and for the last one year, I've been working as a data analyst, on third party payroll, and with 4 LPA package. I have 4 years of experience with gaps. The work is super hectic, and I am mostly working 9 to 11 just because the team is cheap to hire an extra resource and I am doing the work for multiple teams. I have to add that I have anxiety, and I have a difficult time saying no or asking questions. 

I was managing my life with this pay, but recently, I'm finding it a bit tough. I've been applying for different jobs, and i can't even seem to get an interview. I know unlike SDEs, analysts doesn't get paid on the same scale, but 4LPA seem to be a bit low. I don't know what else to add here, so please ask if any specific details are needed. 

I need to get my life sorted.

Please help! I need advice.

Hey everyone, happy to answer any questions around Data Science/ML/AI and making a career within it

A brief about me, I work currently as a Sr. ML Engineer at an Indian unicorn startup 
I graduated 5+ years ago and have since worked as a Data Scientist / ML Engineer at an ecommerce company and social media company. My designations have changed based on the industry requirements and work too changed based on that.

Would love to take questions on what it means to be an ML Engineer, my early learnings from a career in data science, and thoughts on AI.

Look forward to all questions :)

Let’s suppose you’re a backend developer (not fullstack) but now you’re suppose to contribute in frontend code or you’re suppose to support a project where you’ve no idea about the product or the tech stack. Do you just somehow plan to quit or survive?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I have 2 job offers in hand and now am a bit confused. Need your advice on decision-making,

1st offer - Jaipur location - investing and trading company, offering me an Equity Research Analyst role with a profit-sharing in the new business division which they are developing.

2nd offer - Bangalore-based startup, recently raised $550k, has 18 months of runway, the current scale is low.. they are offering me mixed roles - 50% of the time will go into Social Media and Content, 30% in Business and 20% in Finance. ESOPs will be based on 6-8 months of performance.

Now I have 2 career paths in mind:

1) I want to do CFA and get into the core finance side... it might also lead me to the VC, PE, or IB side.

2) Startup - I have done startup in the past but failed. I want to do startup again but currently want to join a good startup where I can learn from experienced people.

I don't know how I should go about deciding b/w these 2 career paths.

If you were in my shoes, how would you make a decision?

Equity Research

I work at a product startup and it's been 1yr and 3 months now. It is my first job. We are an engineering group of 5 including the CTO. After 5 months I joined, we stopped our B2B product and started working on a B2C product which is very promising. But since last 6-7 months we are not getting our salaries and I don't know what to do. It's been hard finding a new job because most of them demand more than 2,3 years of experience.
I would like to work on startups again for the intense learning atmosphere they provide. Can someone help

Trying to switch job. Current startup hasn't paid salaries for 6-7 months

Both environments have benefits and drawbacks. It really depends on your personality and goals.

In a large corporation, you’ll be surrounded by people with a wide variety of working styles, expertise, approaches and backgrounds. You’ll have access to more resources and responsibility will be shared with other team members. You will have opportunities available to you, but you’ll likely have to pursue them yourself unless you have a really good manager supporting you. Otherwise, it can be easy to become a cog in the machine. The pressure is generally lower and so is the recognition. You can screw up royally and you’ll probably just get moved to another project. Even if you don’t screw up, you may find yourself shuffled between projects.

In a startup, there will be more focus on you to deliver, train yourself and be independent. While you’ll likely be part of a smaller, more integrated team, there will be a much higher expectation that you can be self-motivated and deliver results. The learning opportunities that you have will be more along the lines of being tossed out of a plane with some fabric and a sewing kit and you’ll need to figure out how to make a parachute really quickly. The risks are higher, but so is the reward.

It’s like the difference between taking the bus or riding a motorcycle.

The bus is reliable and it will get you where you’re going, you have very little control over the specific bus, route, the driver, the other passengers, etc. You’re unlikely to get injured in a crash. It’s safe, minimal risk and ultimately putting your fate in someone else’s hands.

The motorcycle is fast, you’re in control every step of the way, you could easily get yourself killed if you do something stupid and if the weather, roads or other drivers get in your way, you’re not likely to get to your destination smoothly. But if you do, you’ll beat

1. Fancy talks from founders such as ownership, independence, building for next generation, speed etc
2. Learn new tech
3. Glofiying working at odd hours
4. Don't talk about stress and anxiety 

Start ups are not for weak heart and normal humans who have life after work. It's only for people who will give up their life to build somone else dream. Prove me wrong.

An ex ola person cried infront of me for the workplace stress and unrealistic push

Startup are brutal

I have completed my B. Tech few days ago. Working in a small startup for 3lpa and I am not getting any projects to work. Initially I was trained to work in spring boot . Now they are told to learn devops and so I learnt them and now I'm not have any work related to cloud also.Sitting simply throughout the day. I have joined the company as intern in july 2023. Any Guidance what to do what to learn. I'm currently learning DSA. I have knowledge in spring boot, AWS and some devops concept.

Need Guidance

I recently joined Hashedin by Deloitte in august. Before that I was in Infosys for 1.8 years  , mostly was on bench and very few months on project(2-3), where I did basic work on angular in a legacy project , not learned anything there because of scattered code base and that was worse as of my first project.
I did some preparation , learned concepts of angular and JavaScript theoretically mostly.

Then I switched to Hashedin as SDE 2, now I don’t have much Handson experience, I feel scared and feel anxiety , how I will be able to perform and meet expectation of this position.
Although I am trying to learn more concepts of angular but still not feeling confident.
As an Sde 2 they expect me to work on complex task independently, although I have 1.8 years of experience.

I feel worthless and depressed everyday thinking about it. My head always remain flooded with self doubts and anxiety. Feel sometimes to quit but I have bills to pay. 

How can I survive through this, I am ready to learn and do put efforts. But how will be able to cope up with tasks they threw once I’ll be in a project.
Can anyone give some tips and advice how should I tackle these situations and get better. I’m tired of feeling low and mentally sick all the time.

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

Currently working in a startup and contributing in data science projects. Learning is good but a lot of time goes down in meetings and discussions and I have to do late night work. Everyday starts to feel like the same and I am not able to get time for extra learning to enhance my knowledge and tech stack.
Also thinking of company change but most of them need 3-4 years exp to the data science team. 😭

Feeling losted

I've 3 yoe, currently working in a very small startup as full-stack dev. Company's revenue is declining from Q4 last year.

Every month layoffs are happening in each team. Last week, a dev was laid off from my team.

No hike till now, working here from last 1.5 years. Although, got performance bonus twice.

I want to work on a few ideas, tried to work on weekends but it led to burn out and started affecting my health, suffered from mental fatigue.

Please suggest.

Work on own startup vs switch to another startup

Recently joined a company.We majorly work in c and c++ . It has been a few months since I joined the company but it feels like I haven't really learnt anything new nor am I contributing majorly in any way . In this time span I have rarely coded and it feels like it is affecting my career deeply, especially being a fresher in this domain.I want to know the possible ways to tackle this situation and what else that you guys recommend.
