Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hey everyone, I hope you guys are doing awesome.
Here is a small intro, I graduated with IT degree in 2022. Same year I was fortunate enough to crack Google Summer of Code. The next year I appear as a GSoC mentor. After that I took a project from my organization on contract basis. I've been contributing to opensource for about 2.5 years now and I hold a decent position in my org.
Things were not great money wise so I was hunting for a fultime job, after 3 months of continue hustle my resume got shortlisted and I got selected. We initially agreed upon 14 LPA but when offer letter arrived I was offered 7 LPA. I was desperate and was in need of money due to family problems.
I truly think I deserve more, within 3 months I have become release manager and I handle the release. I was able to understand the code base and started contributing. I am involved in few tasks and I am able to deliver things.

One thing I must say is that, people are very very supportive. All of them helps me out at every point of time. My personal growth is just going great. Money is the factor that I think is nagging me.

I would love to hear your thoughts. I appreciate every opinion you guys have.
Thanks

Need suggestion, confused about my growth🤕

Recently saw this news: https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/news/story/pune-man-undergoes-full-medical-check-up-before-joining-date-ends-up-losing-rs-24-lakh-2461256-2023-11-10

In March 2023, a man received a call from someone claiming to be a recruitment executive for a global carmaker's India unit. 

They convinced him he was shortlisted for a senior position but asked for a fee of Rs 1,600 to register. 

The scammers kept asking for more money over five months, including Rs 28,000 for a uniform, Rs 80,000 for a check-up, and Rs 2.4 lakh as a salary advance. .

However, after paying around Rs 24 lakh in around 40 transactions, the man realized that he had been cheated
--

How and why people fall for these? Also how they make over 40 transactions? 

Also a lot more people have fallen for scams than I initially thought. It's only when you tell them a story about other scams they tell their story.

Job Scam - how educated people fall for them?

Founder

I am posting this information to safe gaurd others job seekers and  posting after doing my level of research as one of the victim is my close friend. 

Person named Brahmaiah Shaik, who claimed as currently working as senior HR at Virtusa, Hyderabad has taken money from many unemployed job seekers promising them Jobs in development and testing and help them with fake experience letters and other onboarding activities. He has been promising jobs in Virtusa and Wipro like companies. Almost 38 lakhs has been collected from 21 individuals since Jan 2024 and they are still job less as he is not reachable now. People who has given money became helpless now. Please be aware of these fraudsters. Do not believe anyone who are promising jobs atleast do not pay blindly well before any progress. Build up your skills and try out for jobs or atleast approach a renowned consultants. Please if someone are there from Virtusa..let me know any internal ombuds channel to report this.

Beware..Fraudulent act by a IT professional

Software Developer

Hi folks,

I have freelanced on upwork earlier and maximum reached $20/hour in development gigs but got burned out by constant pressure of rebidding once the current project gets over. The profile is still 5 star rated but getting full time job through these freelancing platform require lots of marketing and bidding and it’s difficult with day job. However recently I have seem trend where there are some genuine folks such as harkirat who are upping the game by earning around 5 crore annually through posh remote jobs. Has anyone of you tried pursuing that route by reaching out to founders of early stage startups on twitter/linked in or used freelancing portals such as upwork to get full time gigs which pays more than $100k remotely. If yes please share some guidance.
