Instead of working, I am attending JSConf India

Hi all, Can you please tell how is JSW One company culture in Bangalore? Esp. how is this for Product management roles? Is it hybrid working? Does the senior management have clarity on what they are building? How is work life balance? Thanks a lot for your response.

Hey folks , I've been in software was almost 5 years with 4 years experience in React Native (was a lead react native dev in previous job) , around 10 months native Android (Java). I've also worked on the backend (mostly nodejs, postgres stuff, integrating with payment gateways, queues - worked as a fullstack dev in fintech mostly in the FASTag space for a big private sector bank) with basic exposure to AWS (ec2 , Lambada etc) I am now done with JS and have taken a career break to explore new technologies , get better at DSA and become a better programmer. I am thinking of learning Swift for iOS as I love working on mobile apps and also started learning golang as I always wanted to learn a more versatile programming language that allows me to do low level stuff and seems like golang is a good stepping stone in that direction. Coming to the point and the main question: Does changing stacks eg from react native to Swift for iOS or starting as Golang dev lead to a decrease in salary? Keeping in mind I don't have prior experience in golang at all . But I am guessing if I had to switch to native iOS in Swift there wouldn't be much of a salary drop? Also I would appreciate if you'll had any tips for navigating salary negotiation in such a case . Should I settle for a lower salary and build my experience? Or demand a higher salary then my previous job ?

Looking to switch company in next 5 months. I’ve some great work which I did in my current org to write on my resume. Need a roadmap how to go about doing DSA? Suggest some good courses? PS: Don’t say striver YT videos. I’ve tried them in past, didn’t enjoy!

I (27, Mumbai, India) switched from non-tech background ( commerce) 2 years ago , and started with learning frontend development and grinded very hard despite all odds. And i recently joined (March to be precise) as a React JS web developer. We are a team of all freshers except for the TL of course. Before getting the job, I only focused on the web development part and never learned DSA except for solving codewars sometimes. Now, in my non office hours, I try learning DSA and solving codewars/neetcode problems which takes all that time and I am also reading a book on javascript. But sometimes I get into a dilemma, like it happened today, where I wonder if I am correct to learn DSA and improve logic building and dive deep into javascript, OR should I instead invest my non office hours in diving deep into React JS and also improving my CSS skills (where I suck a lil). I really get into this dillema somedays and end up getting anxious. Please tell me what you think. It would be very helpful, and I would be grateful. Thank you.

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 :)

Indian SDEs on LinkedIn & Twitter are some of the worst engineers you will ever find across the real world. Their typical value lies around: - Cracking a FAANG/MAANG or Product company. - Make an announcement on LinkedIn & Twitter and accumulating followers. - Starting YouTube channel, Topmate links, affiliate marketing channels, and more. - Rant DSA, System Design, Interview resources all day long. - Post daily of their office, their colleagues, candid shots, and barely getting any work done. While this is expected out of early career professionals, it pains to see senior SDEs doing the same shit over and over again. Things don't end here — Everyone talks about creating a revolution. And the revolution is teaching DSA. If you are an experienced SDE and still ranting DSA, it just means that you have barely learnt anything that is of worth any value. You are atmost a "Ticket Engineer". You get assigned a Jira ticket, you bust your ass solving it, and that's it. That's your entire value. Its high time that these "Bhaiya", "Didis", "Bhabhis" stop ranting DSA and System Design over and over, and build something of real value. You would barely see any credible open-source projects coming out of India (but hey, we have some many contributors!), barely any Indie dev project, or anything that captures the attention of the world. Literally every popular SDE you might follow or see over your social media is the same. Their entire community game is a farce and designed to capture gullible college students and shill thousands of rupees out of them. You might be featured on Times Square ($40 ka showoff), but no one would remember you for anything that you built. <Rant Over. Peace>

Hello community, This post is for getting guidance/opinion on the role switch from support role to development role. I really need help from fellow colleagues and exp professionals to proceed further. So, I had 2.5 years of experience in SAP domain and recently I have switched internally (within the org) to the software engineering team that has complete back end work to do for a foreign client. Tech-stack is Java 17, Eclipse Jersey, MySQL, MongoDB, Azure Cloud and some other technologies too. Parallelly I have been a part of an online platform for software engineering courses (eg. Bosscoder etc), where I learnt DSA, spring boot, HTML, CSS and JavaScript with React framework. The front end engg. part is not covered yet, but a part of the curriculum. Now my doubt is, I am planning to work for some months here and in my resume, stretch the starting time of the SWE role, to shadow down the SAP experience. Like 4-5 months experience shown as a year or so. Tell me if it can be a good strategy to reduce barriers of not having experience to join SDE roles in prod-based MNCs. (I know, that I will have to showcase deserving skills, based on experience, in the next company to get an offer, but still!) Secondly, can the backend framework (Jersey) become a barrier to the job switch to java spring boot roles. Some people told me that experience matters and not the frameworks. I need ur opinions. Lastly, I am recruited as a Senior software engineer, I will have to prove my worth not just to other companies, but internally within the team. How can I learn more in less time, to equalise the skills with the job role, not 100% but even 60-70% would work. Where to start, what to take care?!

Few days ago I was totally inspired to switch to web development domain. I am from electronics field so I have to read from scratch and my current work is from lowcode development. I did a research and found out how competative it is😓 and how complex it(work) becomes with time .If I go there It will be more++ hustle for life .Someone from webdev suggested me to go for testing .what are your opinions ?
