If someone is starting from scratch which techstack would you pick? considering carrier growth and future proof.- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I'm a second year student in a Tier 3 college in India, My branch is Mechanical but I'm interested in Programming. I want to become a backend developer and I'm stuck and confused on what tech stack I should choose, I am good with both Go and Rust but the job market seems to favor the MERN stack. I need advice on what I should learn for the current IT sector to get in as a backend developer

Seeking Carrier Advice

I'm a 2023 grad, and gained 6 months of experience in RPA, specifically Power Automate and Apps. 
However, I'm facing a lack of growth in my current role, as the projects as less.

I've become comfortable with my current situation, receiving a consistent salary and doing wfh, but now I'm concerned about the future and the stagnation of my skill set.

I've decided to upskill myself with a more relevant tech stack. I'm confused between opting for 
1. Java backend with Spring Boot.
2. MERN stack. 
3. Upkill in power automate, apps. 

As a fresher, I'm unsure which path to take. Any advice would be appreciated.

Confusion hai, solution pata nahi🥲

RPA Developer

I generally come across 
Web: MERN with Typescript
Mobile: Kotlin with compose, Flutter, Objective C, React Native
Desktop: Java with Spring, C++

I want to know the tech stack before applying to companies.

What are the tech stack used in top companies?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I am working in SAP as full stack developer from past 15 years and getting only 35 lakhs ctc. Whereas here in grapevine i can see salaries ranging till 2 crore or so for software engineers. How can that be? I am interested in programming and want to know for which tech stack salaries are best. Means , generally popular programming languages like java programmers also earn more? Or is it just me who is not able to earn more?please help me with good tech stack

Better salaried tech stack

In my current role, I have been exposed to a variety of technologies over the past six months, including Flutter, FlutterFlow, Kotlin, and Swift. While I have gained some experience, I have not been able to fully master any of these areas.

To enhance my career trajectory and potentially seek new opportunities within a year, I am seeking advice on which technology I should prioritize for in-depth study and mastery.

Please provide recommendations based on factors such as:

1. Market demand and future trends
2. The potential for long-term growth and specialization

Seeking Guidance for Future Career Path

I am a senior Data engineer(9YOE) and have worked on a large scale Data warehousing, Spark, Orchestration(Airflow) and visualization on AWS and Azure. I currently don't have scope for tech stack improvement in my current org and would like to learn and implement my personal projects. So far, I have been advised to learn golang and kubernetes so that I could deploy ML models in the future or even move into observability space. Any suggestions on what tech stack I should learn? I want to jump to startups in a couple of months and eventually move into a pure software engineering role. 
Already working on leetcode and practicing system design for the same.

Senior Data Engineer-Which Tech stack to upskill?

Data engineer

As a fresher in an IT company working as a backend developer, I am really confused with how to proceed ahead for growth in my career. 
I have two options : 

1.Learn Frontend and be Full stack dev
2. Move to devops 

I need advice which would be more feasible and why. Keeping interests aside as of now since I would be new to both domains.

Any new ideas or domains are also welcomed!

Career Advice Needed.

I am working in a Pre Seed GenAI Startup (2020 Founded) as Head of Engineering (Team of 20 with 5-6 in Engineering, No CTO) 

It's been 3.5 years (3yrs Full Time + 6mon Internship) Previously it is in EdTech now in GenAI Space 

My CTC is 8 LPA + 0.45% ESOPs (10-12L in 25cr valuation). 
Skills: Nodejs, Nextjs, Monorepos, MongoDB, AWS, Serverless

1-2yrs ago we were thinking about scaling the tech team, etc but then that EdTech model started failing and then we went to a war time after that we pivoted currently also we are burning money revenue is there but very less (25% of the expense)

I was of the view that I want to lead teams and scale products That's why I was there in the team It can be the case tomorrow if we scale 

but Now I am confused whether I should switch my job and or stick with the startup maybe the startup grow tomorrow or a big VC fund us to scale (as I have ESOPs) or it will just be a waste of time or opportunity cost

Please guide 🙏 Anyone with a similar startup experience would really appreciate your help 🙏

Need Career Guidance in Tech (Switch or Not?)

Enough of these salary/layoff posts. 
Regardless of your skill/experience/industry/background/market conditions - if you wanted to learn a new tech stack - what is it and why? 
Don't give answers like this or that pays better. looking for answers from people who genuinely love solving problems. Crazy infeasible answers eg Haskell+flutter also welcome.  
Just trying to see how far dreamers go.

What is your dream tech stack?

Career Advice Needed

I'm planning to learn backend.
1. After backend basics, which language and framework should I start with
2. Should I have to learn front end technologies too? 

From google getting very generic response.

Blunt advice

2.5 years experienced into production support, thinking to transition into a demanding future proof technology. Which one is best ?

Suggest a good technology to transition into

I'm working in service based company in worst tech (acc to me ). There are not enough projects still they hire so many freshers .

Current now I'm  1 year 3 months exp

I'm doing self study of data engineer and done some decent project .

Should I plan for internal switch or look for outside opportunities.
Will I get atleast mid senior role outside?(im planning after 2 years exp)
I don't wanna start again in entry level.

What checklist should I follow to successful switch.
I didn't get any hike for my first year( that's y I'm planning all this)

I respect every advice and criticism in my plan
Thanks in advance.

Tech stack change

So I am currently a full stack engineer at a startup, now I have 3 offers 1 backend and 2 frontend. Currently I kinda like the full stack role that I am in but since I want more income I have to move out. The offer for frontend as well as backend are paying decently well and are very similar offers as far as comp is considered.

What do you think I should opt for, I am 2 years experienced. If I pick the frontend role right now, would I be able to move to full stack again or not?

How does it work in general

SDE role discussion

To the people who've experienced both ends of spectrum, as an new grad, which is better overall?

If someone is starting from scratch which techstack would you pick? considering carrier growth and future proof.
