CRM Developer

Hey folks,
I am a senior software engineer at Swiggy working in as a mobile engineer for the past 5 years.
I have worked on few backend & infra stack in past companies (node js, go-lang, kubernetes, s3, etc) just for exploring and expanding my horizon.
I am thinking of seriously perusing this now.

What are my options here? I am open to learning via online course / my own side projects.

Also how to approach for hiring given it won’t be my expertise but I am willing to be hired at a lower package for the long term benefits.

Reason to consider a transition is boredom with working in a single domain.

How to transition to a backend engineer role from frontend

Software Engineer

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

After 2 years at Wipro in a support role, I've self-taught Java Spring Boot, Hibernate, and basic frontend skills, with good knowledge of DSA. However, I lack hands-on experience in real-time Java projects at my current company. What steps should I take to transition into a Java development role at another company?

Software Developer

Hi All, 
Hope you are all doing well.
I'm stuck in support role, handling incident tickets & publishing status reports since 1.5 years. My learning is almost null.

I'm currently doing java DSA (350) & picking up on springboot tutorials. Given the support job role, 90 days np, & current market, how difficult is it to land a backend developer role. (Happy to take paycut).

Or should I just quit my current role & enroll for some placement bootcamps.

What can I do better to improve myself.

Thanks in advance.

Need advice on transition from support role to development role

System Engineer

Hello,

After six years in IT Support, I've come to a realization: my current job lacks the learning and growth opportunities I crave. Each day feels like a repetition of customer support tasks, and I'm eager for a change. I've decided to make the leap into Software Development.

To equip myself with the necessary skills, I'm considering enrolling in an online learning platform like CRIO.DO, Scaler, or Bosscoder Academy. However, the fees for these courses are substantial, each exceeding 1 lakh. Before I commit, I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences:

Which platform would you recommend for someone transitioning from IT Support to Software Development?
Have you or anyone you know successfully transitioned careers through these platforms?
Do you believe enrolling in these courses will truly help in securing a Software Development role?
I appreciate any insights or advice you can offer as I embark on this journey of career transformation.

Thank you! 🚀🔧

Transitioning from IT Support to Software Development: Seeking Advice

Senior Engineer

I joined industry as a front-end engineer back in April, 2022 and now i am feeling like expanding my horizon of skills and start doing backend. Also, I am hearing it from people that there is not much growth in FE in terms of compensation. So, curious to know the views of people here and would be great if someone can guide through. 
Thanks in advance

Transition from Front-end to Back-end role

Hi guys, looking forward to some advice. I'm working as a Frontend developer for the past 2 yrs, tech stack is React, Javascript. I'm feeling that I'm bored with the work and not learning much now, just building components and calling new APIs. So I thought I should try backend development. The backend tech stack in my team is Java, Spring boot. I have knowledge of core Java. If I continue with the current role, I might get a promotion next yr but if I change I will not get. Also I eventually want to go to a MNC, where I see generally hiring is for backend roles where system design and DB is asked. Frontend specific hiring I mostly find in startup and mid sized companies, which I want to avoid. Another option is to switch to a different company like Microsoft, etc where they look for a general software engineer, for which I will need to study system design and DB. I'm fairly good at DSA, so not much of an issue here. What should I do?

Career growth trajectory

Hi everyone, I am a frontend developer(3yr+) who wants to switch to backend development. I am looking for some advice from people who have made a similar transition in their career. How was your journey and what was your plan?

Also, how should I handle the salary and job search aspects? Should I take a salary cut or join at the same salary? 💰 How should I approach HR or put myself on job portals?

Please help me. I am feeling confused and unsure about my career path.🙏

I have mostly worked in legacy codebase in Oracle org (C, Linux) and it's been nearly 5 years since I have joined.

Corporate Strategist

I have 2.5+ YOE on .NET in Accenture as backend developer. But I want to switch to React and Java full stack role. I can fake react experience as I'm decent and confident on the frontend.
But how do I grab a Java backend role, as I don't have any experience in it? 
I don't want to apply for a frontend only role, as I'm genuinely interested in Fullstack.

Please suggest. I'm preparing for interviews right now.

Switch Domain

30M here and currently working as a QA. My current ctc is 14LPA(6Y.O.E). Currently I'm on bench and looking out for projects. Parallelly I'm also looking outside, incase I don't get any projects in my current company. 

The problem  here is I'm not very good at writing programs(Or atleast that's what I think) and constantly face issues in programming questions in interviews. I have always been an A+ student, scoring in 90's throughout academics(Scored 100 in chem and phy in 12th). But never been able to clear programming interviews. This is affecting my self-confidence and I keep getting self doubts(One of my senior in my first company told me that, I'm good at theoretical concepts and I fail when it comes to the application of said concepts).

Now I'm into automation testing and as I was looking to switch, I kept seeing multiple openings for Mobile Development(Development in general, be it backend/front-end/full stack etc). The below reasons made me thinking as to why not switch to development:
1. My current CTC is low for my exp and testing usually don't have much openings
2. Testers don't have much respect in the Industry(Even from people working along with us)
3. Not much scope to earn more from testing field

My current thoughts:
1. Enroll into a Java course from any offline institute and learn Java thoroughly first.
2. Switch to a good company with decent pay
3. Invest time for 1-2 years and learn development and then try for some startups.

Any advice to my thoughts? Am I thinking in the right direction?
And also, if anyone who has done this transition(Or similar transition) could shed some light on how you did it and what difficulties you faced, I would greatly appreciate it.

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I am currently working in Accenture as a backend developer. Do you think its wise to change the technology at this moment. I have around 3 years of experience. And i am not getting any learning opportunities in my current company. 

Also what is the roadmap to learning Data Science?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I'm currently working as a Frontend Engineer at leading FinTech in India. I'm doing great in my current role(IMO). I also contribute to open source libraries on weekends.
Maybe it is FOMO or my learning curve being relatively flat, recently I'm feeling I don't want to type cast myself as a frontend engineer and explore backend as well. I might get promoted to senior role this appraisal cycle. My current org (specifically my managers) don't want me to contribute in backend services as there are already plenty devs in backend.

How to go about this? I can't switch since, no company would hire a folk as a senior backend developer with 0 backend experience.
