1. Joined college
2. Got a good job
3. Start content creation on how I landed a job , my preparation journey, how to master dsa, teaching dsa
4. Start topmate mentor on getting job

Why do engineers not post on 
Real engineering, how products work, how to think in business, and the prospective to build something, mathametics, science , core concepts of engineering, etc

Is this the journey for software engineers in India ?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Why Indian Engineers after getting job share only how did they get job.. how to prepare for that.. and opening the youbtube channel now becomes compulsory? Is it real engineering? I am student but I don't think it is good for real engineers

I see that this channel mostly contains threads that are irrelevant to real software engineering! No one talks about building software or designing stuff. Is salary discussion and a job switch what most Indian Engineers really care about? 
Hoping to see more discussion on stuff like

System Design, advance data structures, Databases, optimization techniques, leetcode questions, programming languages, Cloud Concepts, Machine learning, Microservices, Certification preperation etc.

Why no one talks about Software Development?

This is what happens when college forces students to write even html code on paper .

Journalist

I don't know if I'm right or not but I feel that software engineering in India is becoming more of "How to get into FAANG" rather than actually learning skills.

Whenever I open LinkedIn all I see is 
"What I did to get into FAANG"
"My life in FAANG"
"But this course to get into FAANG"

And the most fucked up scene is people are quitting there jobs at FAANG to create content to get into FAANG.
I'm so sick of it now.
Whom is to blame here?

How to actually get an entry level job as a Software Engineer in India in this situation off campus.

Now there is rarely any offcampus opening for SDE 1 and even if there is, there are thousands of applicants for a few openings and the companies barely reply.

I'm in a very bad college with almost no campus placement, but I've done total 1+ years internship, one in reputed startup and other in a MAANG company, and still not getting any replies.

How to overcome this situation, is this the toughest time for a fresher to get a decent job ?

How to get entry level job

From my unique vantage point I can see that those who got outcompeted in the hiring market in 2021 are backfilling now, at a fast rate.

Yeah there are layoffs happening. But there are pockets where software engineering hiring is also in fact increasing.

A thread on job market for engineers in India

I am in my 5th sem of my engineering degree. Didn't start DSA neither did any development. Can anyone recommend where to start and how to start for both and any tips?

Need guidance

After the recent post of mine related to entrepreneurship that picked up on grapevine, and also after using it for a long time, I realised this is a potential community to find gems. 

Looking out for a passionate SDE, who wants to dive into entrepreneurship and for a long ride and can own up the entire tech stack (pure ESOP oriented)

We are moving in a solid direction as per the vision in our Ed-tech startup all driven by AI.

Solving a massive global problem (validated!) 

comment if you are open for such opportunities and will take it forward from there.

For Engineers with balls (take it lightly 💀)

Founder

I am a backend engineer with a 9 year exp. In my fourth company now. Started with 5 lpa, now at 31 Lpa. 
Mostly have worked in normal companies only. I am from one of the NITs. 
I am not good at DSA. Everytime I have to switch a job, my resume gets shortlisted  and I get call via naukri. 
The things is in these last 4 job searches I have been rejected 100 times. I have been rejected by almost all the companies, 
Service now 5-6 times, oracle 5-6 times, Walmart 2 times, goldman 3 times, jpmorgan 2 times, Amazon 4-5 times, arcesium 3-4 times, msft 2 times. 
Apart from these, I have been rejected by adp, celigo, phenom, barclays, flipkart etc. 

Every time, I want to change a job, I'll get rejected by all the big companies and then will get selected at some normal company with a hike and will join them. 
I am at my fourth company now, and again I am searching for a job. Have already been rejected by GS, service now, phenom, epam, ice, demandbase in last 2 months. 
Every time it is the same DSA. 

I try studying, will do decent amount of leetcode prior to interviews. Last two months I am doing leetcode from strivers sheet. 
But same question I'll do here, and in interview will fail. Example I have done sorted array rotation, shares sell and buy, rain water trapping, and was asked the same question in interview and couldn't solve. 

I also want to earn more and get into some big company and stay there for some times, what shall I do? 

My concerns are, I am getting lesser calls this time compared to the last few years, I can't be switching job every two years. 
Want to join a big company and earn more.

How to get better at DSA?

"a little knowledge is a dangerous thing" or "neem hakeem khatra jaan"

I realised this recently when I went through my old bookmarked videos and realised I learnt it wrong. 

Now i know better from my experience, but it's quite shocking, that a beginner might be still watching these videos and learning it wrong.

Most content about system design and distributed systems is far from the truth, it includes all your famous YouTubers including Gaurav Sen etc 

e.g wait till you realise that ACID guarantee doesn't mean anything and C-consistency is a made up concept.

we want an easy way out by just going through videos, and even the YouTuber can't make it complex, otherwise no one will watch their videos.

The real knowledge is still in those famous books, read those, otherwise you sound like a phony who just knows buzzwords, which is very easy to catch in an interview.

Most of the content taught by tech youtubers is simply wrong/incomplete

Senior Software Engineer

Is software industry oversaturated? Do you feel companies will discriminate with us once we hit 40+ age as more and more people are coming into it? I can see class 6 th and 7 th std kids are doing coding just like we had fad for jee classes. If there is oversupply of enggs. companies, whatever the fate mech and civil branches suffered, cs will bear the same. Should one go for mba( off course from top colleges) ?

Software as a career

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Name few things which one can do during his 2-3 years in engineering and also prepare for job placements

What can one do during engineering to get spikes in these areas

I did my graduation in Mechanical Engineering from Delhi Technological University. Worked my ass off during covid lockdown to grab a Software developer job. Number of hours spent on DSA and development for straight 3 years. 

I was able to grab a decent package being from mechanical background. Currently i am working in Accenture as a software developer -> Java full stack developer + Angular (12LPA ctc, 9 Base)

I want to work in a product based company which has better opportunities for me because i feel there is very limited opportunities in accenture and somehow people do not encourage to go for them at all. 

I need guidance on which companies should i be looking for great opportunities, great tech stack, with good management. Salary is never a obstacle for me. I am just looking for growth at this point of time in my career. Currently i am back to DSA again for interview preps.

Referrals are also well appreciated.

Need guidance on switching

I will complete my 2 YOE as a Software engineer in India. I want to go outside of India and work in USA / EU/ Singapore or any other developed nation and experience how is the life there. 

My current company is Isarel based but they don't give any opportunity like on-site. Please suggest me ways what steps should I take to achieve this. 

I don't want to go for a MS degree.

How to land a software Engineer job outside India in some developed country

Need help!

I am originally from a small town and did my BSc in Computer Science. My relatives and neighbours used to say that I am a good for nothing freeloader who is a "nikamma" - unemployed. It was very hard to find a job back then and I used to have deep anxiety about it. My only dream was to get my fathers appreciation. He is my biggest hero. 

So I started preparing very hard and practiced my skills. The only one who supported me was my mother who used to give me tea even at 3 in the morning while I used to study. Even my own father gave up on me and from time to time he used to say that if you are living under my roof then you have to follow my rules. He also used to say that look at the neighbour's ladka who got a government job and he asked me to prepare for Bank PO.

So I moved out from my town and shifted to Gurgaon where I got a small PG with some money that my mother had given me. I also started freelancing on Fiverr and which led me to improve my communication skills. Finally, when I got my Google offer letter I felt like I made it. It was the best response to all the taunts by people around me. 

I suddenly became a superstar in my town with people congratulating my parents. I bought my mother gold bangles and dad a new watch with my first salary. I was looking at my offer letter today and it reminded me of all the hardwork I did to achieve this moment.

This is the story of my life. In case anyone needs help. I am ready to provide support to aspirants here as a way to give back.

Family said I am good for nothing but I finally I got an offer from Google

This is what 100% of Indian men want to achieve since their childhood. Jewellery for Mom and Watch/Car for Dad. It is an appreciation for all the hard work they put in to help us succeed in life.

Suggest some handles/profiles that have non cringe content

Nikhil Kamath on YT is one such gem. Overpowered also
