I haven't written one but I do believe that they have earned that right to write self appreciation post. Don't see any harm in it.

Absolutely no harm if they are ‘genuine’. But how many of them are genuine is questionable.

Yeah that I agree with...We don't know their credibility

People spend more time writing LinkedIn success stories than writing code on their actual software engineering jobs.

LinkedIn success stories of software engineers- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Here’s my story in the field of software engineering: There’s this colleague of mine who is on a pure tech role but hardly codes. The person spends his entire time on LinkedIn sharing new age tech stuff and projects himself to the world as if he is the Messiah of architecture. The guy preaches the same gyan to members of my team. For the last one year, this guy, in the capacity of Software Architect has not pushed a single line of code into our application source code and this is on record. Yet, he is highly regarded as an expert in technology. The guy has killed the careers of some genuine software engineers with his unique approach to make it look like he is taking a lead to own stuff in tech space. The guy has had tremendous career growth, got promoted 3 times in the last 5 years.

In my view, the guy is a tech junkie whose knowledge carries no value. Yet he managed to butter the leadership team to reach to position that he is currently in.

Hi, as the title says, i would really like to hear about success stories about individuals, who despite their lack of formal technical education managed to make a career in tech with sheer perseverance and grit.

Success stories about individuals from a Non tech background as well as no degree.

As a software engineer with over 1000 connections, including hiring managers, I've reached out to 500+ individuals for a job, but to no avail. It feels like I'm begging for a chance while facing silence or inappropriate advances. The reality is stark: despite qualifications, opportunities are scarce. It's a grim truth for IT newcomers, where hope is fleeting.

Struggling to Secure IT Employment: A Desperate Search for Hope

I work in a startup, been here for around 3 yrs. I have been applying continuously for a long time and am not even getting an interview call (Even with referrals sometimes)...
Is it my resume? But ATS parses it just fine? Maybe I have too much written in it.
I don't have a flashy college, company. That clearly hurts my chances, but what could I do now? 

I'm working on random projects I find interesting on the side, and thinking of posting some on linkedin for now. What else do you think I should do?

Advice for a tier 2-3 college SWE?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

What’s the most important career advice you’ve ever received? It could be anything, an advice from your colleague, a lesson you learnt the hard way, or a piece of wisdom that changed your perspective! 🌟🌟

1. Work hard in your job. Don't complain and waste time. We know everyone is replaceable, but work so damn hard that if at all you decide to resign and switch sometime, it should come as a shell shocker to them.  
 Build a program/product/team from scratch, own it end to end so much that they'll never find anyone close to you who can work with the same efficiency. 
 You'll obviously take your learnings and apply them later on in your next job, but 
 You'll also earn the respect of all your colleagues which might be needed in your future corporate journey. 
 2. Don't chase money early on in your career unless you actually**need** it. Focus on building relationships, knowledge, learning to code (it helps) and earning respect of your colleagues wherever you go. 
 3. Don't get into smoking due to peer pressure. AVOID IT.

Strategy & Operations

I’m starting a new channel called Humans of LinkedIn, where I will talk about all the hardships faced by the Influencers and Top Voices on LinkedIn in getting customers for their Topmate or course pages. The idea is to help people build a brand for themselves so that they can sell their services to people who are in genuine need of help and/or mentorship. If you are helping people for free, that is not acceptable by us, because we believe people should only help people for money. 

P.S. We will only accept sob stories, and if you do not have a sob story, we will help you create one.

P.P.S. Out here for making money, so don’t expect us to publish your stories for free.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Do posting consistently on LinkedIn to get likes, comments, and shares and more followers and connections help in getting more opportunities, especially for freshers?

I have observed a few freshers and many professionals nearly posting daily on LinkedIn. They post primarily their personal opinions and anything different they do in their professional life, such as certifications, their own articles, something new they tried, visits, and even (mainly women) adding their workplace photos with even irrelevant posts.

I have no problem with anything they do, but I want to know if it helps build one's career.

Does popularity on LinkedIn matter especially for freshers?

Civil Engineer

What is the actual job of consultant, for example if I am software developer then my job description will be developing application using some programming language but what consultant do what is their role what is the work they do, also who gets more salary, consultant or software engineer

Salary

I'm 22 and like 6 months into my first, I really love what I'm working on and what I'm being compensated for that. But whenever I ask anyone whats their plan is they say mostly switch within 1-2 years, especially freshets who were selected along with me, and surprisingly almost no one here is from pre-covid.

Does everyone switch jobs as often as it seems?

if you search for jobs, top 20 results are promoted job ads from top startups and service company. Its like every company knows to play the game at linkedin now. Keep a 2-3 fake jobs to let aware market that they are hiring but they are actually not. 

even machine learning engineer is get 10 promoted jobs with 100 applicants even for that.

what is your experience on linkedin related to job nowadays.?

LinkedIn jobs are simply psyops by companies

Digital Accessibility Technologist

When I saw Twitter and LinkedIn most of people titles shows fullstack developer and here I am afraid of calling my self a frontend enginner, because there is so much to learn in each domain itself.

Currently, I am working as a Frontend Developer in my current company and each day I am learning something new in Frontend. 

My question is that, should I continue exploring Frontend in my initial years and gradually explore other domains like backend or devops.

Because, I stunned by looking at the Job description of the companies that are hiring even for entry level jobs.

I wanted to your thoughts on this, What you do in your company and how you all improve the domain you are working on.

You can also share any useful resources too. Thanks

How to become a better software engineer?

LinkedIn Jobs on the Rise 2024: The 25 most in-demand roles in India

Sales

- 🗣 Before anything else, communication skills are the most important. Helps with building your brand in your org. Even code is a part of the ways you communicate.
- 🌟 If possible and if available, pick up role models in your office whom you feel are really good at dealing with people and learn from them
- 📖 Basics are a MUST. I regret not taking Networks, OS, Databases seriously in college. They are Hella interesting. I'm learning about them out of interest but struggle to manage time.  Dsa is not the only thing about software engineering. 
- 👨‍💻 Take up tough challenges. Trust me people have achieved so much recognition and growth in just 1-2 years by taking up the most difficult tasks at hand

Finally a great line by our MD -
"Everyone at the office are your friends. While some are best friends"

My Learnings as a Software Engineer 1 year into corporate

I’m great at leetcode and sys design discussions. But have probably shipped very few lines of code at this point in my career. Yep. Seriously. I have coasted a lot by just doing corporate politics, architecture discussions, and design docs etc

this has led to me feeling impostor syndrome but also sad and empty inside. I contemplate leaving SWE path. But I want to be a better developer not just leetcoder

Becoming a better engineer

I could solve general problems from arrays, trees, sorting and all. I would fail miserably when the interview goes in the direction of DP problems. After a point I realised it actually doesn’t matter, you will find enough places where you are valued for your skills. 

Been a person who was on the both sides of the table, more on the side taking interviews. I realised one thing how many of us end up writing those fancy TSP code or backtracking etc day in day out. Almost most of the code we write is in some form a version of CRUD and its a reality.
Someone getting hired in google is not going to be assigned to improve their search algorithm. I know a lot of ppl who joined and left google because they were not getting to work on meaningful stuff. 

I ask real life programming stuff and I try to judge based on that, I want to see given a real scenario how the candidate thinks rather then knowing how good the person is in solving some DP problem.

Some ppl can write real good code without realising that they are actually using the best practices and design patterns and not remembering the patterns name, it sometimes just comes naturally
