Bro/sis please don't learn mainframes and it's waste of time and you don't develop the code from scratch just stick to dsa

Bro IMB mostly runs and works on the mainframe. And still you are endorsing not to learn it. Please elaborate on the reason for this...

Software Test - QA

Mainframe! Are you kidding me, never even go anywhere close to mainframe, most boring tech. There are tens of much more interesting technology out there to learn

Software Engineer

My advice is to stick with DSA. Get out of mainframe immediately!

Lead Consultant

Software Developer

Team Lead

Even if you learn mainframes in corporate mostly you will edit old programs that were written before you were born or some jobs to get extracs backups or migration so no use at all

As a college student I currently have 2 options. Whether to learn mainframe technologies as a part of the subject very wisely so I can apply in companies like BMC and IBM or shall I stick with DSA practicing. Enlighten me in areas of scope, advancement and salary.

Is learning mainframe technologies good or shall I stick to DSA?

Is learning mainframe technologies good or shall I stick to DSA?- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I’m working as Mainframe developer for past 2years but I need career change in domain how to do and what to do ?!

I know the title might seem weird. But here’s my dilemma 
Working as an SDE with 3 YOE in an product based company remotely. Have some developer + PM experience in a small startup before
I never took DSA seriously and just learnt the basics a long time ago. I was appreciated at the startup about how I did PM work even though I wasn’t one officially. Shipped a couple of MVPs on my own as a side gig(had around 100-200 users) 

 I miss some big tech experience definitely. So should I grind DSA and look for big SDE switch even though I don’t like it much or move to product ( the pay might be affected) or do an MBA and then do product (for strong credentials/chances)? I feel maybe I am scared to do DSA/System design since I don’t find total interest in it. 

If DSA, any suggestion on a very good course, paid/free doesn’t matter.

My final goal - build great products and learn everything about what it takes to build them.
Thanks

Study DSA in depth to build world class products or become a PM?

In my college days I did DSA using CPP. In my current company I am working on Java. So should I practice DSA using CPP or Java. Which one will be good and why ?

Suggestions needed

I am currently working in IT support in Capgemini..the work is not that challenging and there feels no learning or growth.. currently I am confused about learning DSA,dev or data engineering? Wanted advice on the same ? My engineering major was in electronics.

Switching

Technical Support

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I’m a 2022 grad, hit by onboarding delay for 8 months after graduation (during those time I grinded leetcode approx ~400 questions, learnt spring boot ) Recently I joined one of the WITCH companies which I was offered in 2021. I was trained in Java but now they put me into Mainframe project dealing with COBOL programming and DB2 and I’ve never felt this underconfident and worthless in life. I’m planning for MS in CS in 2024. Does this work experience help in anyway? Is a switch needed before I apply to masters? 
I would really appreciate if anyone could suggest me what to do.

Advice needed

Currently I am in my second year from a Tier 3 college. On campus placements at my college for the 2024 batch is really worse. Few companies are hiring for sales roles etc. and most of them are putting tough eligibility criteria and hiring only few.

To be very honest, I have no hopes from on campus placements. I am going for the off campus route.
What should I do to get a decent intern in third year/fourth year and a decent job by the time of graduation?

Talking about my progress, I am doing DSA, taking part in contests in Codechef, Codeforces, and Leetcode. 
Besides that I have started learning Machine Learning. Have done only the Math part and basics though still now. Been to 2 offline hackathons.

Second year CS undergrad

It will be helpful to me whoever see this post and comments your respected opinions on my situation.

I am ome of the regular corporate employees of India who is earning 3.6LPA in reputed MNC working on Java support. As I need assistance on my career and don't know where to ask, posting here . So below are the options I wanted to do but I am confused where and what to start.
1) Should I upskill more on Java only 
2) Should I need to switch to any other domain like AWS, Azure, cybersecurity 
3) Should I need to do any other integrated course which will be available in platforms like Upgrad.

Why these options means, I need to earn a decent salary par with Industry. 
These are the random options in my mind and I am unable to choose one thing. Due to this I am stuck in my career and my friends are earning more than me.

Career dilemma

I'm 2023 btech grad, I have selected in virtusa, LTIMindtree and dxc but none of them are giving response to full time. They are just delaying the process. 
I'm worried about my future, and confused what to do, so that I land a job. 
I have knowledge of core java, sql, basic dsa(leetcode 150+) and very basic project(that  don't come in mini project category). 

What to do? ... should I prepare dsa or do backend in java? ... or just wait for the on boarding

( RANT ) 
Currently in my 2nd year of engineering in a good college in Bangalore . I am worrying a lot about career , my day starts with thinking about interships, skills, studies and ends with which career to pursue , startups / big MNC . All my day I am worrying. I know this should not be the case but I can't help , nobody around me are thinking about future, I can't discuss with anyone, they just chill and enjoy. 
Has they are from CS / EC , there placements are secured which is not the case with me. 
I know I should be focused on CGPA and skills ,but these thoughts scare me a lot , I don't know where should I focus on , which direction I should start working, no guidance, nothing.
like this only 2022 passed. I have plans to pursue MBA .
How to stop worrying

Worrying a lot about career

Advice for first year

Background:

Tier 1 college, Branch - Civil, 2018 passout, Presently working at a state govt PSU with around 11.5 LPA CTC (salary part only, excluding medical facility which is decent)

Things I like at the present job:

1. Home state posting all throughout the career
2. Easy to take leaves and can mostly go home on weekends
3. Good work life balance.

Things I don't like:

1. Rural posting (as of now, will change in future)
2. Repetitive kind of work - not challenging enough and hence limited growth (I guess this is true for most PSU jobs)

Why thinking of the switch?

1. Civil was never really my passion - just what I got.
2. Taking the job was mostly due to family pressure of doing govt job.
3. Liked programming during school days, did web dev work in college fests.
4. I do like the process of building something up and also learning new things, and am hence beginning to feel tech is something that would suit me. 
5. Salary and fomo factors are there but not significant enough. 
I feel I have not been taking enough risks and hence am not being rewarded enough. I want the thrill of grinding and progressing in life.
 
What's stopping me then?

1. Obviously, the safety and protection of a secured job is difficult to overcome.
2. Family wants me to settle now, but I don't.
3. Recessions like this where layoffs take place even for skilled people due to factors not in one's control.
4. The fact that I might have to take a paycut, to begin in this career.

So what should be the path to take?

1. Learn DSA, make projects and apply. Could use my network (although very very few of my batch are in tech, most are in analytics, finance, core sector) to begin somewhere and switch
2. Go for M.Tech in tier 1, and hence aim for product based companies.

I am more inclined towards option 2, as the tech job market being what it is now. I am ready to slog for 2 -3 years (mtech preparation, mtech and then placement)

Please help me out with your views and suggestion.

How to switch career from PSU job to SDE

Hi folks, 
I'm stuck here, I joined this organization a year ago. Still on bench. I'm from a mechanical engineering background. Know only the basics of Java, HTML, CSS, little bit of Javascript. 

Should I learn DSA along with Java and spring boot, mirco services or Javascript, react js. Or please suggest me other tech if they are feasible and would help to switch from my current organisation.
If you have time, a roadmap would be very helpful. Please guide me on this matter.
                            
                                                    Thank you.

What should I do? Please guide me

Hello  Anmol ,this side. 
Staring my carrier in software engineering,  hope I will get help from all your expirences

A beginner

Title. I am interested in devops and cloud.I am learning it everyday and I am enjoying it whereas I have tried web dev and DSA and I am not finding it interesting. Any of you who are experienced please guide me.

Should I focus on core software engineering skills such as  DSA ,web dev or app dev or should I focus on devops and cloud as a fresher?

I am a mainframe developer with 10 years experience and have an offer from both TCS (25 lpa) and Capgemini (28 lpa). 
Which one could be a better choice overall, and not just monetary?

Is learning mainframe technologies good or shall I stick to DSA?
