It's okay , not everyone has to do coding , do what you love and go for off campus placement , learn what u want to the fullest and start applying , get a internship from internshala, naukri etc and make a good resume and keep in mind , do what you feel like and give your 100% in that , don't just follow coding trend

Tyy , I get fomo where the market trend is towards coding and  also coding based roles are given more salary and opportunities but feel i will somewhere get lost in it and won't end up doing what my heart says ( i feel I can't do coding for many years as it doesn't fascinate me and makes me feel robotic ) and on other side everyone says about the coding and the high salary related to it

Chill out not every high paying job is about coding , do what you love

Software Developer

You can seldom do job in something what you love most, unless you have financial freedom and less pressure from family and society to land a job.   
 And if you don’t have that much pressure, you can always go for MBA etc

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Right now I'm at the end of my 6th semester of engineering in IT, i am not interested in DSA and doing coding ( I like it to some extent). I don't know what I should do now where as I'm interested in job role like digital marketing and roles which are related to marketing ( currently I'm doing and internship in an startup where I have role of seo and digital marketing) and in future I want to go into business and entrepreneurship which is my fixed mindset. But for my placement I'm doubtful that i would go for the DSA stuff (I find interest in business analytics but i don't have those companies for on campus placement and I'm just starting to learn it) , can someone help me with this and guid me.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am in my 5th sem of my engineering degree. Didn't start DSA neither did any development. Can anyone recommend where to start and how to start for both and any tips?

Can anyone help me with this🥲

Confused of what to do

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Engineering grad. Transitioned into marketing right out of college. ~2 years of experience. 

Started out on a shit pay, currently underpaid but getting good exposure and learning a lot. 

This was a conscious decision as I am focused on learning, growth and personal development. 

Feedback is, I have made massive professional progress in the last 1.5 years and the company too (at my request) is giving me more agency to explore and diversify my skill set.  

This means; mainly more responsibilities, a few operations related decisions & tasks and a few sales calls and client presentations.  

I work at a very small startup and I feel, despite having the opportunity to learn here, the environment or mostly the pay is too shit/low. 

I am already a star employee here and I feel it would be a good time to switch, to be amongst a group wherein I can get more challenges and opportunities. Of course, a higher pay would be wonderful as well. 

While, job switching is an option, I am also thinking about doing an MBA. 

I feel if I can build upon this momentum and get into a good college - it would negate years of grind that I would have to put (in the current scenario). 

I really would like you good people to analyse my situation and help me out, please.

TIA.

Work. Transition. Study?

Content marketing manager

So I have 2+ years of experience in tech field as a full stack developer for 1 year and as a back end developer for another year.

Now I am at a where I need to switch.
But I am not very good at DSA, I find it non interesting and a bit difficult.

Can you suggest me ways to grow myself so that I can feel confident enough to switch?
Also can I switch without DSA ? 
Jahan dekho wahan sirf DSA hi DSA and it’s frightening 😰

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hope this post reaches everyone well. I'm a final year engineering undergrad student from a core branch in a Tier 2 college. I'll cut to the chase - I hate my degree and want to switch over to DIgital Marketing. I recently completed a two month digital marketing internship in an arm of a retail brand. This was to test the waters; to see if I actually like Digital Marketing or just the idea of it. Turns out, it's pretty fun. While the tasks were mundane, I handled basic stuff like on-page SEO tactics, LOTS of content writing and a market analysis of our competitors. I wanted to also venture into other domains (like Performance Marketing and Brand Management), but I wasn't given the chance to do so.

Coming to the topic, what do I do from here? Look up case studies? A remote intership (which I'm unsure if I can handle with college)? And what exactly does 'build a portfolio' entail? And yes, I know the market is in the doldrums right now. This might be the worst time to embark on a career in Marketing, but I need to bet on myself now.

I've started applying for internships (January-July, leads appreciated!), and need guidance from someone elder than me on how to navigate the situation I'm in. Apologies for any errors.

TLDR: Engineering student hates his degree (nothing new), loves Digital Marketing, needs guidance from someone senior to figure out a path towards an alternate career.

Switching over to a career in Digital Marketing.

Hey guys, just need your advice I have been 5 years of experience at startups and have open source contributions too and now I want to switch to some good product based companies including FAANG with some good WLB.

I am well versed with topics but I am not very sincere with doing DSA and leetcode regularly. I haven’t practiced daily and now I am looking to do it, but I lack motivation and get frustrated easily.

I am thinking to do a DSA course on weekends, will that be good? Any advice is recommended.

PS: The switch is for WLB

Advice Needed For DSA Course

Hey everyone, I am a final year B.tech student. 
Currently I don't have a job and to be honest I haven't done that much DSA to get a job, so its a request from you guys to help me out that is it too late to start now?

If you guys have opening in your company maybe you can give me a referral or something I have the willingness and motivation to do something and learn also I have a strong resume and internship experience in a big company.

Need some guidance

I m a student currently pursuing  btech in entc from 1 of the top prestigious  college in pune. When i pass out i can easily get 14 lpa (my batch's avg package ) i m avg in academics but always know what i am doing. But my goals are diff i m planning to make a switch into finance and get into either a vc or pe role or even the sell side investment role is fine for me. The bare minimum is i will work at a startup in finance or marketing role. But i dont want to do enggineering dont know why i never liked it and feel trapped here. I have no finance or accountin experience or core knowledge i have learned few things from internent but i dont think thats enough. I m planning to attempt cfa and give various sebi registered certification exams like research  analyst , aifa etc . And then by getting 2/3 years exp i will even try for mba at iims. Am i on the right path on my career please provide your opinion or guidance . 


Thank you

Am i doing good by leaving enggineering?

I am student in second semester of b tech , and after my b tech I want to pursue a career in finance so should i focus on dsa for next semesters or try development also .

Advice for first year

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?

Lead social, brand, perf, SEO, partnerships, community, growth, pretty much everything across zero to fairly high budgets. Happy to help.

Brand marketing manager

I'm 2023 btech grad, I have selected in virtusa, LTIMindtree and dxc but none of them are giving response to full time. They are just delaying the process. 
I'm worried about my future, and confused what to do, so that I land a job. 
I have knowledge of core java, sql, basic dsa(leetcode 150+) and very basic project(that  don't come in mini project category). 

What to do? ... should I prepare dsa or do backend in java? ... or just wait for the on boarding

RPA Developer

I am currently in my 3rd yr. I'm about to give my 5th semester end sem exams. Till now I haven't done any coding as of now. I was only enjoying college life with friends. Not blaming but there is no coding culture in my college and I myself was also not aware about the market. Now I realised that I have done a big blunder. What should I do first now? I started learning Java during the Diwali holidays and I'm half way down. Pls tell me a roadmap so that by the end of 3rd yr at least I have a good internship in hand. I wrote all of this here because I think I will get some really good and valuable advice from the experienced community. And I need it very badly.

Please tell me a roadmap of what I should do and what I should avoid?

Pls give me a roadmap

Hi everyone, I am a final year CSE student graduating in June 2024.

I have got on campus placement in a good startup based company, and my internship(SDE INTERN) is currently going on. Also, I have developed and learned a lot in these past months.

Now, I am clueless, for the upcoming years. I mean, what new skills to learn and grow as software developer. I have researched about it, and currently AI and blockchain are the major dominant fields, I feeled.

Also, I need to know DO's / DONT's from all of you, for me (as a newbie in software fields jobs) that should be know.

All your feedbacks and guidance are highly appreciated 🙏 . Hoping to connect with all great minds.

PS: Be as natural to me

SDE Intern

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I am a graduate from a tier-1 engineering college and will be starting out with a job in a few months at a financial services MnC in an analyst role. I am looking to build some income streams apart from my salary over the next few years and wanted to gain some freelancing skills to build an online business but am confused about where and how to start. I've seen people working on software projects and stuff like digital marketing but can't really picture myself in similar roles. I'm not a techie, my interest lies mainly in finance and business but I'm fine with exploring and venturing into something new as well. Would be great if someone who has done it in the past can please guide as to what can be some promising skills to gain and how to go about it.

How to go about building additional income streams?
