Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hello people,
I graduated last year and joined a fast-paced startup back in july as an SDE (2023 grad). So many things have changed so far within the company. Company has closed good series B funding. The top level management has changed, my manager and colleagues resigned due to the kind of work and cultural shift and lots of work but I stood there and delivered projects (was making them from scratch). Whatever was thrown on me during this time, I took that as an opportunity and delivered that. I literally worked on 4-5 tech stacks and built complex projects from scratch with 3 members team only.

Now it seems like their ask is never ending and they again want me to put in another techstack since the existing products we built are working fine and we are just maintaining it now. The culture of the company is still very good despite having lots of work though the pay is above average.

I am seeing my friends around me joining another company and getting much better hikes. I also want to make a switch but deep down in my heart I have these questions coming up:

1. Should I switch before completing 2 years since it's my first job and I have spent only 1 year so far here. I really don't want to make this habit of switching again and again.

2. The kind of bonding I have made with my colleagues so far. Will I be able to get the same environment in the new company?

3. Should I join the startup again or should I target MNCs now. Because I have been building multiple complex projects for the past 1.7 years (this is my 3rd startup) from scratch and this is also getting normalized for me. Is it time to work on a scale?

4. Feel less valued sometimes. Despite delivering lots of efforts, it seems like I am not getting valued much because it's kinda hardware company and things go around that only.

5. Although, I am working on complex projects here but sometimes I feel missing out if I hear what others are doing. Should I go to a pure software based company?

6. I am not making much here to be honest despite having much better coding skills (10 base + 2.5 PB + 2.5 VP) but I am able to manage  my money well despite living in Bangalore. Should I be hungry for more?

I would be happy to read your opinion on these guys.

( RANT ) 
Currently in my 2nd year of engineering in a good college in Bangalore . I am worrying a lot about career , my day starts with thinking about interships, skills, studies and ends with which career to pursue , startups / big MNC . All my day I am worrying. I know this should not be the case but I can't help , nobody around me are thinking about future, I can't discuss with anyone, they just chill and enjoy. 
Has they are from CS / EC , there placements are secured which is not the case with me. 
I know I should be focused on CGPA and skills ,but these thoughts scare me a lot , I don't know where should I focus on , which direction I should start working, no guidance, nothing.
like this only 2022 passed. I have plans to pursue MBA .
How to stop worrying

Worrying a lot about career

I'm planning to pursue MBA either offline or online. Don't know where to start. I have around 11 years of experience in IT industry with more technical capabilities on cloud, devops and SRE. My intention in getting an MBA is to get out of this tech heavy work which is eating out my work life balance.
Explode few options from edu  startups, BITS Pilani wilp but couldn't decide. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

It's been sooooo long since I have been searching for jobs did gave interviews but somehow got rejected after 2nd round. I am literally loosing all hopes, motivation and confidence and no excitement is left.

Should I stop searching for jobs Or Should I  start preparing for my MBA ?

I know the title might seem weird. But here’s my dilemma 
Working as an SDE with 3 YOE in an product based company remotely. Have some developer + PM experience in a small startup before
I never took DSA seriously and just learnt the basics a long time ago. I was appreciated at the startup about how I did PM work even though I wasn’t one officially. Shipped a couple of MVPs on my own as a side gig(had around 100-200 users) 

 I miss some big tech experience definitely. So should I grind DSA and look for big SDE switch even though I don’t like it much or move to product ( the pay might be affected) or do an MBA and then do product (for strong credentials/chances)? I feel maybe I am scared to do DSA/System design since I don’t find total interest in it. 

If DSA, any suggestion on a very good course, paid/free doesn’t matter.

My final goal - build great products and learn everything about what it takes to build them.
Thanks

Study DSA in depth to build world class products or become a PM?

Career Progression:
IIT BTech - avg GPA
Ex-founder experience
Youngest amongst mid-management at current job
IPO possibility on the cards
Well compensated

Preference:
Global top 10-15 MBA
To eventually stay in India (3-5 yrs timeline)
Doesn't fancy Consulting but seeks senior leadership / founder role in next ~5 years

My profile is not the best in terms of grades (not bad either but 90% in 10th and 12th and 7 CGPA in college- BA Hons)  
Will ISB admit be possible given I crack a great GMAT score? I’m unsure if the Acads will hamper it.

MBA for growth?

Hello all,
I'm a software engineer at one of the service based companies and I graduated last yr.

 Though I always knew software engineering isn't for me, I still gave it a try hoping my perspective would change when I enter the industry. Bummer! I hate it even more

What I have realised is I don't like to code or spend all day finding a solution to an error. Not to say I don't like problem solving but I simply don't like the problem solving that is required for a great software engineer.

I have been a content writer in the past and enjoyed it. I also helped a small digital marketing agency launch a campaign for a product. I thoroughly enjoyed the process of coming up with ideas that suit the tone of the brand, writing copies and much more.

I'm thinking of switching to a marketing role or anything that aligns with what I have mentioned above.  

My question to you are:

1) Is it even possible to switch without an MBA?
2) If so, What should be my approach to applying to jobs? (Kindly tell me the specific and not just -' Make a stellar resume and apply ' kind of a vague answer)
3) What other roles can I look into?

Hate My Software Engineering Job

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

[Background] 25. M. I'm a mechanical engineer and realized early during college that I'm not cut out for mechanical engineering domain. Switched to analytics domain right after college. 

[Current Experience] 4 YOE in an analytics firm based out of India catering to 2 major Fortune 100 companies. Leading a 10 member analytics team, directly responsible for problem solving, solution design, stake holder management etc. 

[Thoughts] Loved being an IC during early stage of career. Found it interesting to get into the rabbit hole of designing solutions and executing the solutions. 

Off late, really like being a lead and focusing on multiple problems at the same time. Little far for executing the solutions, bu focusing of understanding the porblem and designing solutions and letting the team execute it.

Right now, confused about what I want to do next. 

[Request] Thinking of pursing a MS(DS/ML) or MBA(Analytics) for more exposure. Thoughts or suggestion welcomed.

Hi! I’m in a huge dilemma and looking out for any advice I can get. I currently have 1.5 years of work ex and want to pursue MBA. 
Im confused if I should complete 2 years of work ex and then quit to do full time mba prep or quit right away to do prep. My quant is weak so I will need a lot of practice to crack CAT.
2 year criteria comes in so that I can keep options like ISB open as it requires a minimum of 2 year work ex. 
Any advice would be highly appreciated!

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hey 

I joined infosys in oct - 2022 and now it’s been 1.8 months. My tech stack is MEAN stack but I was on bench through the year, recently got into a project but for only 4 months. I developed and learned by my own and gained a better knowledge on angular.
Now the situation my company has made for me that I need to switch asap, within a month or two.

Can anyone suggest me how to prep specifically so that I get offers from other company.

My DSA skills are gone and feel like I need to learn again from basics.
I have knowledge about angular.

Can anyone suggest me how much DSA I should learn and focus right now to clear interviews.
I’m planning to get a grasp over python and start doing DSA questions in that plus polishing my angular skills too. 
I have basic knowledge of node.js MongoDb too.

Will I’ll be able to switch within this time frame?

Please can anyone guide me through it so that I can plan smartly and can switch.

Your help will be really appreciated.

How to prep for switch?

Software Developer

MBA folks..recent and past graduates need your opinion on BITSOM and Masters Union.
are they as good as they claim?
reputation in job market?
worth joining or to repeat?
CAT score 97.29
Any other extra information and other college information are most welcomed.
(Also need help in GDPI prep if anyone can help out with certain queries and even conduct a mock interview, it would be of immense help)

MBA!!

I have been working as a Software engineer since the past 2 years (work from home), but now I will have to shift. 
I have been thinking about going for an Mba since last year and will be self-prepping, since I have the basics (I did prepare last year) I am confused on the course for preparation
I've been thinking to go full on with Mocks and tests for the time remaining (I'll start the prep now)

People who have been in similar situation, what mock test series did you find accomodating and flexible ? I would want to have as much flexibility in mock tests because some days I can devote 4-5 hrs, but some days it would be lesser. 
I've come across SIMCATs, AIMCATs and CatKing's mock series. Are they good ?

Need some guidance for MBA prep with a full time job

I need some advice. 

1. I am a fresher and am considering giving the CAT exam this year. 
2. Currently working as a data science intern and frankly, not enjoying it a bit. I dread debugging. I also feel everyday that AI can easily do 75% of my work. 
3. I want some business side roles, thinking I won't have to stare at a screen all day, fixing bugs. 

What roles can I expect after doing a MBA, is it worth the extra 2 years and the money, and if you are someone who can relate to my situation, what are some of the things you enjoy about your work and some things which you absolutely hate. 

I might have completely wrong expectations, so please feel free to correct me.
