Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

It's very important that engineers should learn & get practical exposure of different multi faced roles( UI, backend,SRE,devops,QA,security etc)to be ready for future jobs. 
No course can teach you that it's only you who have put efforts else you will be kicked out of the future job market.. 

Currently we are in the era if solving problems no one has ever solved or met. .  

Be a part of a team where everyone wants to include you to solve unknown problems.

It's now to be ready for a new era in software engineering

It's now to be ready for a new era in software engineering- Grapevine

Is the tech. industry declining? What should the newcomers know before opting for this particular career path? Is there anything to fear about? A hype about the tech. jobs in society and especially in families of students choosing their career has made me ask this question. I hope a clear discussion with people who actually know about it will help.

Recession and increase in unemployment

I had this idea in mind, that many of us either want to learn something new or create our own product but we either don't have the time or consistency to learn or no time to build huge products alone.

So I'm proposing this, why don't we software Engineers of all experience levels come together and build communities where if someone wants to learn SpringBoot Backend or React Frontend or whatever the stack is, they come along and start working on a product and learn along the way.

To help them, experienced software Engineers come along and if they want they work on it and help the people and guide them with the best practices.

In the case of experienced folks, let's say they decide on several products and we divide the teams based on the expertise and start working on them.

What do we get in return?

Better networking, experience and maybe a few good startups which are built by
us, and they succeed at a product level.


Who is this for?

Anyone who wants to mentor, learn or want to build a product but they don't have people to do that.

Who all are invited?

Senior Engineers, Tech Leads, Engineering Managers, Product Managers, Director of Engineering, CTOs and others. Sr folks to help the community.

Let's say we decide on 5 products, make a roadmap on how we want to work and within a year we release these products in the market and maybe maybe we get to work on our own company rather than from others.

if not, then also good karma and networking will be done which will be helpful for this tough time ahead of us.

Today's Junior engineers will be Senior engineers of tomorrow.  Today's Senior engineers will be a great part of management of tomorrow.

Let's build real software and change the way we learn things and do great engineering and learn a lot and earn from the products as well.

Thanks 🙏🏻

For the engineers, by the engineers.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey everyone, excited to be doing this AMA!

A brief about me, I work currently as a Director of Product at an Indian unicorn startup 

About my career: 
- Did my undergrad from IIT and then masters from an Ivy league school
- Have been in product for almost 10 years now - across 2 Indian unicorn startups and a publicly listed company

Would love to take questions on what it means to be a PM, growing within the role, building your career, and other things :) 

Will be back here at 4 pm and start replying
Shoot away!

AMA 🎙️: Hey all, I am pmsprint, Director of Product Management at a Unicorn in India!

Product Manager

I want to switch from an automation engineer to a dev role, I have 1.8 yr experience.current ctc 20L . How should I go about it. Would love to hear some opinions on the same. Thank you

Want to switch from QE to DEV

Software Engineer

I started my career as a backend developer and started liking the domain and started learning new stuff and getting better at it now after working for 2.5 years being a backend dev in two different startups i recently  joined a big tech as a software engineer and i am asked to learn front end frameworks like vue.js i don’t mind learning new stuff but nor feel great as well as i always wanted to take my tech career in backed side of thing .
Yes i was told before joining 20/80 % (frontend/backend).
Not complaint or something just wanted to understand other forks pov on this .

Peace

Is it normal with tech forks?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I joined TCS 3yrs ago and since then I couldn't switch. I am planning since last year March but actually not able to work on it. Even I couldn't apply actively. Currently I am involved in a role which has nothing to do with development and I feel bit less confident. So I want to know why it is so hard to leave? Does everyone feel same? Is this ecosystem somewhat responsible for this?

Why is it so hard to leave first company?

6 YOE joining 5th company next month.  
    
  Never let a retard shame you for job hopping.  
  Job hopping is one of the fewest ways to attain some economic mobility in this shithole country.   
  For a corporation understand that you're a fungible resource. They'll throw you under the bus once you've outlived their utility. Always lookout for your own personal interest first.

Don't focus only on the compensation part only. Learning is very important. If you don't know how to have a mentor... Today you are getting paid for how well you code but now AI can code the best way.. 

Do in future it's not about how well you code it's about how well you solve use cases with balancing the business need.. 
This skill can't be learned by any course out there. It's you who has to put in effort.. 

So invest your money & time on these aspects. Need any guidance talk to mentors outside of your companies/ colleagues

As a well wisher advice to all software engineers

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Young SWE start with double digit salaries, while someone in Non tech will need 5-10 years to reach that level
Even the business roles, the direct revenue generating roles don't pay good traditionally

Funny how techies think everyone gets paid similar
A lot of it changed with startups trying to acquire talent, but not sustainable
Because the market simply doesn’t pay

How do non tech compete with this skewed demand-supply chain?

Tech and Non tech Pay Partiality is something no one talks about

Engineers deserve their pay.  
  
 1 - The code that engineers write are assets of a company. The code might keep running and serving customers for years after a engineer has probably even left the company.  
 On the other hand, the work that most non-tech folks do are not assets, but an operational expense.  
  
 Companies don't derive benefit of a non-tech even beyond the same month the work is performed.  
  
 The difference is the same as painting your house vs brushing your teeth. You don't paint your house everyday but you do brush your teeth. Painting here is a long lasting asset, adds to the value of the house. Brushing is necessary work but with ultimately perishable benefits.  
  
 2 - Code that engineers write provide non-linear benefits. A team of 30 in Zerodha were able to serve 3-5x more customers in the pandemic. This same scalability does not apply to non-tech majdoori. Business has scaled? Hire more heads. Not with code. 
  
  
 Obviously above does not apply to senior managerial folks who build and architect the organisation, set the cultures, create processes. The impact of their work is long lasting and non-linear. But work of junior business non-tech folks - well, they're getting paid as much as the value they create. Low leverage, low pay. Coding is very high leverage. 
  
 Before you jump on me, I worked for sales in years. Then shifted to product. Above two points are a reality whether you like it or not.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Will entertain only serious questions that respect anonymity. I don’t mind humor, but trolling is strict no no.

Conducted one AMA session last week & was overwhelmed by both number & positive feedback. I might choose to skip any question repeated from last time.

Some things about me
- I love to code & go beyond coding
- Managed a team of around 20 people before
- I love mentoring people
- Presently overseeing the architecture and lifecycle of a suite of products

Don’t mind me giving you some useful gyan 😀

Presently Senior Architect, previously Engineering Manager, 18+ yoe in software engg. AMA

A lot of noise around AI taking coding jobs, which i fear might be real. Like not completely but you get my point. So how should one upskill themselves (especially the average folks, top 1/2% will not be affected in any field imo) for the upcoming shift? Like will data analytics/science or maybe ai/ml engineering jobs be on rise ? Should be start upskilling in those fields or any other suggestions? I would really like to know it from someone who has good experience in the industry or someone with good insight. Thanks

Jobs which will be created /not impacted by AI

If i have to be interview ready for senior Product role in a week. What would you suggest me start with?

I have read the decode and conquer and how to crack the PM interview.

I come from technical background. Any practical insights would great.

Interview help.

I'm a student currently preparing for web development, currently I know node.js, express, mySQL, MongoDB and obviously HTML, CSS and JS...

What more skills do I need to get a job in current situation?

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>

Indian SDEs will do all DSA and System Design chatter but cannot create any real value

1. You are building a software that otherwise could be built by a 12 year old kid, if given proper training.
2. You cannot code if I cut off google, stackoverflow & related websites.
3. You are just concerned about producing the output quickly because a. your work is time bound, b. you want to stand out from others.
4. You attend countless meetings that carry no value, thanks to Agile.
5. 10 people write code for the same software which otherwise could have been written by 1 person.
6. You write pages of documents just because you are expected to write for the team, compliance & stuff.
7. You don’t care about non-functional requirements as nobody asked for it.
8. You are spending hours together in coding a simple thing & you are branded a hard-worker.
9. Or you don’t spend much time in coding because you impress people with tech jargons that you learnt recently. You are branded a smart-worker.
10. The code you write will be completely rewritten in next 3-4 years just to catch up with the industry trends.
11. Your only goal is to earn loads of money which otherwise could not be earned in other engineering fields. That’s one of the reasons why you are on grapevine.

Prove me wrong if you can, by commenting your opinion.

Software engineering job is highly overrated. Prove me wrong if you can.

Tell me you are a mediocre programmer/ work with mediocre programmers /an idiot without telling me you are.

I used to believe that people write perfect code in one go, over the years I understood it’s iterative process.

Myths in Software Engineering

For the past 1.5 yrs, I have been working for a legacy product and hence didn't learn any new technologies. This job was right out of college and hence I didn't pick this. Entire takeaway from 1.5 yrs was 
1.  Simple Java(version 8) code (no frameworks)
2. SVN for version control
3. Dealt with millions of lines of code and hundreds of services in one single file. 

No new technologies, no cloud, no databases. 

But I am very confident and fluent in Data Structures and Algorithms ( Masters in Theory CS from top IIT). What shall I learn next to keep up with the IT industry? I don't have any particular interest towards say DevOps, BigData. I just like to solve problems.  Please advice.

Want to upgrade myself

Guys, is it mandatory for SDES, to learn devops skill as well ? Saw a lot of guys in my circle is getting rejected becoz of lack of skill on devops though they are a coding rockstars. 
What's happening in job market ?

Devops questions for SDE roles

Salesforce Developer

I am a software engineer with 3 years of experience .For the first two initial years I was working as a QA in one of the good product companies with a very sorted work life balance .
I had recently switched to a BE role in a startup 
I am very much lagging behind here because of my QA background  ,the people here are very much talented and are great problem solvers .How do I reach that level ?
I have been  struggling to keep up with the pace here and finding it difficult to approach the tasks,even though i have been giving so much of time to work .
And the TL  in my team have a certain amount of expectations and hence they don't help according to that .(which i feel is fair)
How should I approach this  and level up here 
Anyone with a similar background and story please share your experience :) 
Any advice would really help

It's now to be ready for a new era in software engineering
