Looking to explore the backend systems and language

Seems Java is used heavily across many organisations and a lot of job postings involve Java compared to Golang, Python, Ruby, Node etc

Wanted to know your experience with java codebases, how's the code quality, what issue do you'll face or in general your experience

Considering several companies might be running java due to legacy code or upgrades issues. Are you'll planning to migrate these services to another language?

Java codebases experience- Grapevine

I’m currently weighing the decision between using Java and Node.js for backend development, particularly in the context of projects with strict deadlines.

 I’d love to hear your experiences and insights on this topic.

Java backend vs Node js

Software Developer

If you are a technical lead or a senior engineer or someone with enough context. How would you decide which language to use for the new application you are writing. What are the factors to consider ?

Golang, Java or Python

I’m currently an SDE3 at 7 YOE with majority of it in Node.js/Typescript. Was applying out but got outright rejected at few companies due to no prior Java experience. 
Have a verbal acceptance from a company in Java, should I be prioritising that over others to learn the stack for future?

How important is Java for senior backend engineers?

I have mostly worked in legacy codebase in Oracle org (C, Linux) and it's been nearly 5 years since I have joined. ( I had health issues for 2+ years due to which I couldn't prepare consistently), and I am feeling very stuck now, so how difficult would it be for me to switch to a Java based backend role and what should be the way forward for me

Domain switch after 5 years

Hi guys, I am currently working in a SAAS startup as a backend Engineer. Tech stack: MERN, AWS, little bit of GenAI now.

I know most big companies use Java springboot for their backend, so I'm thinking to learn it is I want to switch later. Or should I go for golang as it's becoming very hot in recent times. Or should I continue with NodeJS? Let me know your suggestion.

I have worked on little front end development as well.

Java springboot or Golang for Node devs

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I had joined my current company as fresher and they assigned me into data management project just last year following a year of bench. Now I am considering to switch company as a java backend developer. How should I proceed? How to handle interviews as I haven't worked in java development before? Any advice will be valuable. Thanks in advance.

Which backend technology, Java or Node.js, currently holds a stronger position in the market?

Java backend or Node js?

Hi, I am working as a Java developer with 5 years of experience with very low coding skills. Can someone help me to improve them. Also on Springboot and Micro services.

Thank you for your suggestions.

I'm interested in backend development.... previously I've tried my hands on frontend dev and I was not cut for it. I've experience with Django and Fastapi. I'm looking for articles and tips on how they develop the backend solutions for the big companies? Like the structure and all the fuss associated with it. Please help......

Backend Dev tips?

Hello everyone,

It's been a while for me to work upon the JAX-RS Rest Web services implementations in a project at the current org. I know Spring boot also, but don't have the industrial experience on it. Do frameworks become hurdles, while switching to another firm, to an extent of not even getting shortlisted for interview/OA?

Relating it with other languages, like python, I know that companies are willing to take up risk if one has experience in any one of the popular fw like django, flask etc. But what about the less known/heard frameworks?

Backend Frameworks | Java

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?!

Job Switch: Seeking help

Is c# or .net widely used across industries. I always find java in most of the jobs. Please comment if ur from c# or .net background

C# vs java

I just joined a company and it's been only 2 weeks. When I accepted the offer there was another interview in pipeline and some delay was going. The result came and now I am confused what to do. 

Startup (current company) TC : 27+2 (base+pf)

New Offer from a big firm: 31.5+3.15+1.51+45kUSD(Base+target bonus+pf+stocks 4yrs) = 43.87LPA Annual CTC

It's not easy as it seems. The startup (curr company) has great culture and tech stack. The product is exciting. It is part of a larger parent company. 

Whereas the big firm (new offer) works on a Monolith and work mostly uses Java. Codebase is 20yrs old according to Hiring manager. And one more thing - I hate Java. Why the difference has to be so big in TC 😭 I don't like to be confused. Have you ever been in such a situation? I want to relate my situation. 

YoE : 2

Need to decide my offer/situation

Please share your Experiences.
Questions you faced/how you responded/how to respond/ what all can we expect.

Thanks in advance

Java Backend Developer Interview

Do you guys think node Js is being used more than Java?
If yes why so?
In the future is everyone gonna start using node over Java?

Java vs Node js

Hired for golang made to php because they replaced whole team with new hires for golang only stuff.

Seeing php and reading documents and code I feel like quieting. 

Compromised on brand name, pay and work in the current company. I thought okay if joining on 14% hike but the work is in golang atleast for this market quality of work will be better. But now getting none.

Market seems to be bad if I quiet it might increase the career gap to a year.

How to keep urself calm and compose from all these shits?

How to stop yourself from rage quieting

Backend engineer

Hello everyone, I'm a recent graduate from a Tier 3 college with a BTech in Computer Science and Engineering. I secured a position as an Associate Software Engineer at Carelon Global Solutions (Legato Health Technologies) with a starting salary of 4.25 LPA.

I have learned that the company offers opportunities in Mainframe development using COBOL, but I am more interested in working on projects involving JavaScript and Python. I am wondering if anyone from the organization can provide insight into whether they strictly assign employees to specific technologies or if there is room for personal preference.

Additionally, I am aiming to transition to a product-based company in the future. Could someone please advise me on the optimal timing for making this switch?
