Living with a fear in IT

Software Developer

Living with a fear in IT- Grapevine

I have 12 years of experience in IT industry and I have been only with 3 firms so far. Primary reason for job change has always been relocation as my personal life changed during these times. I have always been a top performer since the very beginning and I have been a manager too. But now I start loosing interest and I want to know what options do I have if I don’t want to scale up the ladder anymore. I just want to continue to remain in work to support my family but at the same time I don’t want to feel pressured to grow in career. I feel IT is not a place to retire but I don’t know what other options exist. All the technologies that I worked so hard for are almost becoming obsolete and I’m at a point where I don’t know what to do. Finding job scares me just as much as staying in the current one.

Is anyone experienced beyond 15 years and are yet just Sr. Consultants or managers and what are your thoughts?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am in IT industry from past 6 years though not really invested(mind) into it. I was preparing for civil services for 4 years couldn't crack it as other failed aspirants (yet learnt lot in life).
From past 2 years learning to be IT professional but yet something is lacking in me to ace it. Now i wanted to switch company and grab new opportunities but fear of layoffs is holding me back to do that. And as i have more yoe but less knowledge compared to industry standards.
Will i be able to crack it ? And take up new challenges in life ? Will i be able to go through interview process and be successful at it?

Data engineer

I am aged 30 ,UM ,Male , have been working in IT for close to 9 years now . But I never had an option to quit this job  due to my family financial situations. Now I saved enough money for my parents. I want to switch my career to Semiconductors technology (Chip designing, Physical design etc ). I don’t have any prior experience or not even workshops experience in that field but I always wanted to be. It might sound like foolish thought, but I feel like hell here doing this job without any interest (but I always received outstanding feedback from my leadership as well as clients). If I continue here , my next designation would be Manager.

Long story but here are my questions …

1. Should I continue in IT or switch my career ? 
2. I won’t get same package as that I m getting ryt now But Does organisations accept my reason and provide an opportunity aa fresher ? 
3. As I m unmarried and don’t have anyone other than my parents as my dependents and habituated to a peaceful for quite some time, Is it a good decision to pursue my career now , knowing the fact that I might struggle with financial needs.? 

Your genuine answer could help people like me who are trapped in this kind of dilemma.. TIA

Hello there,

I am a regular 3.5 yr exp web dev. I joined Grapevine, just to express my inner thoughts and it's much better to be anonymous.

I got stuck in a void !!! Rn what I a getting is much less as per my experience. The daily routine seriously makes me feel I am a worthless and unskilled person. The type of person who if quits his job will never find another all because I am not good at anything. The main fight is I want to switch to some PM or consultant role but I am filled up with self-doubt and scared of thinking that I am unskilled regular labour, who has somehow gotten into IT...

Whether you call it self doubt/laziness /indiscipline things are not helping me to grow and crack a new job with a better daily routine.

Appreciate your suggestion/feedback.

But please help me and suggest to me how can I get into a technical consultant or any managerial role.

Is this a void career?

Hi all, 
I am a software engineer in a * company. But here the point is about myself, i don't like to code at all, infect i hate it now, but still i am doing it , because i have no choice, i can't leave it nor my family will be  supportive about it. I know its the best work in today's time but not for me. I also got promoted and been on a good pay (acc to exp). But i just don't want to do this job at all. My brain is affecting to a large extent , i have been hiding it from my family. I have a lot of headaches and tension of work like how am i going to do this. Because of having no interest in this, i am not improving my knowledge in this field, which have created fear about switching jobs. I forgets concepts , but i am able to work , don't know how, but i am afraid how long will i survive. My life is ahead me, many responsibilities lying ahead, but also i dont want to do this. What should i do ? Please help me , i can see only one option and that the very last option.

Any one hear constantly think they are going to get fired, how do you guys deal with thought ? I have been working for about 5+ years but still have this anxiety and for some reason it’s bothering me a lot more than it should.

Anxiety around job security

Product Manager

I work in  a company where I am daily abused they call me dumb and my manager says I lack intellect and it’s shocking I am engineering graduate where i should have taken arts. My team leads are no good they also leave no chance to abuse me or make fun of me. They sit right next to me and are busy making fun of me. On top of that this company tracks our mouse and keyboard activity with screenshot of our monitor every 10 seconds to evaluate activity even when in office and there is no remote work policy. Almost daily I am abused and my mental health is gone for a toss. I am in depression and also feel that maybe truck hit me before i go to office because daily I am ridiculed there. Remarks like : I will slap you if any change comes in PR. You are so dumb. Cannot code dumbo.  and see recession what will happen if we fire you is common in company.

I fear market situation. So i am confused what to do?

Should I resign ?

When we hear a person is from X IIT or NIT,we think they are smart. Irrespective of how he performed after he came into IT field or any field, he will still be treated on the top. His tag is for his life time. Jo diktha hain vo biktha hain as what people say, If you see he's from IIT or NIT, you will hire him. I was thinking this is not the case if you work hard you can beat them, intelligence is what matters etc etc all this is bull shit. Get a good IIT/NIT tag and you will be life time settled. Every jump you make people will see ur degree college subconsciously value you if you are from tier 1. 

Considering all this , since this is case with colleges, i feel if you are from google, Microsoft or such big tech other companies will blindly have faith in you. I mean again sane logic. 

My question - To have stable IT job, should i try to first get into big tech, and then even if i get laid off i feel i will be valued for my ex Company and then i can grab new offer. 

Should i do it ?!!! Btw im 25M fed up with this competition and i need some stability in life.
Forgive me for English, its 12:28AM and these thoughts are disturbing me.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I am currently working as an Operations Specialist in Business org and have good rapport within the team as well. But due to the restructuring and the internal favouritism i cannot grow in the team no matter how hard/smart i work.(I can see people getting appreciation when they are saying Yes to everything). I want to leave the team but looking at the current job market i don't think it is not possible now. Thinking i can get into the tech side i have also learnt AWS , SQL etc but haven't done any personal projects(maybe i need more guidance and practice) and i am ready to focus more on this as i am well versed with the IT concepts. So, now i am not so sure what to do 
1. Should stay back and wait for the right opportunity?(hopefully i am not affected by layoffs)
2. Invest more time towards IT(need guidance cause i do not have any connections)
3. Opt for higher studies (cause every body is doing) includes going abroad which i cannot afford in any way possible 
4. Take somebody's help for the guidance (no reliable connections)
3. I am not so sure what i want.

Thanks 🙏

Strategy & Operations

I am really feeling bad and stuck,  I am not getting what to do next after 14 yrs of IT Experienced. Facing difficulties and not getting good opportunities to up skill and not being able to manage work and family. I don't have soft skills to move to management or client face role, solution architecture. I am feeling my career going to end. Kindly suggest me.

What to do after 13yrs of IT Experience

I'm thinking that I haven't utilised my full potential and left behind from folks around me . 
Right now I'm 27 and earning 22LPA as an SDE. 
I'm constantly worried how can I earn better or make some skills which can bring some money too as IT industry is not stable. 
So what could be best for me to do : 
My strong point is if I focus on one thing I can put more efforts into that work. 

The options that I could think: 

1. Work on my tech skills and get into High paying IT job .
2. Pick one Govt exam and get any govt job . I'm thinking of SEBI grade A exam .
3. Pick up any skills like video editing start freelancing.
4.Prepare for MBA that might help me in longer run in corporate . 


Guys can you suggest which one area should I select and why . As if I focus on more than one I won't be able to fullfill any.

Want to level up career and finances

I’m a college grad from IIT in CSE. I haven’t done any competitive coding or any proper coding during my college days for that matter. I have lost confidence in myself for some reason. I had taken up a business job but left it in a few months because I thought I could do better. 
I want to do competitive coding but as soon as I open my laptop, anxiety kicks in. 
I need guidance on how to proceed and what recourses should I use. 
I don’t want to waste my degree as I feel I can do better than my previous job. 

Please help me on fighting my demons.

Need serious help

Business Development Manager

I want to share my experience as a fresher at Accenture, my first company from a college placement. The first six months were fine, but then I faced severe mental harassment from my supervisor and manager. She constantly criticized my work and gave negative feedback, causing me immense stress. I often skipped meals and worked weekends to improve, but nothing helped.

Despite reporting the issue and requesting a supervisor change or a different track, my requests were ignored. The harassment worsened, affecting my physical health, and I couldn't eat or sleep properly. My manager controlled trivial aspects like where to sit and whom to talk to, making the situation unbearable. I was even forced to switch from a developer role to a tester, despite being trained as a developer.

The final straw was being placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) without a clear reason, with the same harassing individuals assessing me. I only had 1.9 years of experience then. I reported the mental harassment to HR and resigned due to deteriorating health, panic attacks, and weight loss. Despite having no other job offer, I couldn't continue. Even during my notice period, I was forced to complete PIP assignments, which led to suicidal thoughts and further health issues.

Now, I am jobless, feeling helpless and frustrated. With less than 2 of experience, I struggle to find offers in a down IT market and don't know what to do next.
