I'm not as senior only 1.5yoe. I'm also in FE, I think your seniors are right and I was also confused about that. But listen and think about what they suggested.

Yes. That's why I've come down to nextJS and TS. I want to learn both, but can be doing that at the same time. Want to go with nextJS but TS is something I want to learn because of the benefits it brings on top of JS.

I'd learn TS first. More general and useful. Either one is fine though, just start and keep going

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

So, I've been working with ReactJS for quite some time now. Kinda getting bored. So, I decided to spend some time upskilling this month and start applying for jobs next month.
I have 2 things in my mind that I want to pickup, but unable to decide in what order I should add them to my arsenal.

- NextJS 13 (app dir)
- TS (for both ReactJS and NextJS)

I also wanted to expand myself from frontend to fullstack (probably to MERN), but some fullstack devs suggested me to stick to one end and get really good at it because your expertise in one end is what fetches you a good job and not being a "jack of all trades, master of none" dev. So, this has also kept me in the middle ground right now.

I did try to explore nextJS with a UI library but most UI libs ask you to have them declared as client components. Doesnt that defeat the advantage of SSR that we get on nextJS by default? Saw many people facing this issue.

What would you suggest ?

Need help with in what order I should learn these

Need help with in what order I should learn these- Grapevine

Hey everyone, I am a Junior FE Dev (from my prev work title coz my exp is 1YoE). Have been working extensively on React.JS and Redux. My previous company was great. I was loving it. Sadly a few months ago, I was laid off. I still don't know the reason behind why I was one of the laid off people. Anyway, I moved on from that depression and started searching for a new job from last month. Made it to final rounds in pretty much every interview I sat for. But then got rejected in final round for crazy reasons including "we currently don't have funds to hire you". One of them even said they are on hiring freeze, literally in the final round 🥲. 

Haven't been able to get a job anywhere. I don't know if my skills aren't enough to be hired or is it something else. "What's hot in FE right now ? Like what skills can fetch me a job ?" - Started asking this myself as well as some of my good friends, but they say don't learn skills for getting job, learn it for yourself. Though it's true, I don't have much savings to support myself for atleast a month. So, I have to get into a job to keep myself from going bonkers under the financial crunch that I can clearly see ahead of myself if I stay unemployed in the next 20 days.

Yes, the tech market is in its winter season. I understand that, but I still see there are so many openings in the market for ppl with 1YoE like me and skillset that matches mine, yet I never hear back from them or just get rejected in final rounds 😕.

I'm absolutely clueless on what to do right now. Any suggestions would be really helpful.

I am reactjs developer. I want to upskill myself im thesa hard time. 
I saw on JD that companies prefer who know more then one library  and framework like if you are applying for reactjs the for brownie points u should know angular or Veu.js
So should i go learn other framework or should I learn Backend technologies.
What should i choose if i want to grapes a good package.

Upskilling

I have joined a startup as Backend Developer Intern. I get a stipend of 6K/ Month. They said they will offer full time position after internship, but the salary will be 10-12K. 

The only good thing is I am directly working on a live project. I am making REST APIs there. 

I have 5 months of time. What should I do? Should I learn react or should I learn backend concepts more deeply. I am also planning to apply for jobs side by side. Give your valuable thoughts on what should I do?

React or Spring Boot

Suggestions For a Frontend Developer

I'm working as a Frontend developer (SDE-1) with 1.5yoe, I joined this startup 4 months back. Earlier I was getting paid 9lpa and later I was offered 12lpa without even asking for my previous compensation. I accepted because my earlier organisation was very toxic. Now coming to the point, 

I came to know that for the same level and same role they're paying 16+lpa. And this is making me mad at them. 

Within 3 months I'm handling 1 of their 2 products (customer facing) all alone. And I'm doing great work tbh (not boasting) but if they have 10 major features. I have developed 4 of them all alone, solved really critical down time bugs and improved the product. 

Now I own this product and if any bugs come, I'm the person who's assigned the work.

I want to have a chat with the Founder but I'm not sure what to say and he's a guy who will try to save the money at all costs. 

I'm really mad at this point of time and I'm planning to leave in a few months. 

If I have a chat with him and he says something harsh, I will resign then and there I'm triggered to this level. 

And there was no kind of appreciation from them, I'm taking most tickets during the sprints and delivering quality code, communicating well and thinking in terms of product, if there is anything which can be improved I ask from them.

How do I have a chat with him and what do I say?
Current CTC - 12lpa
Expected CTC - 16 - 20lpa
YOE- 1.5 (planning to have the call around 3-4 months later), so I will be almost 2 yoe by then.

Pay disparity in my startup.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I'm a b sc graduate. I'm currently working in a company for 2.52LPA. In- hand is literally 17.2k. I completed two years in Feb 2024. Now I have 2 YOE but no proper skill, with no proper working experience. I going nowhere staying here in the current company.
Should I resign now and upskill or Should I upskill,get another offer and then resign. 
Please pour your suggestions.
Also, please tell which technology can I pick and start learning. I strongly feel like it's now or never.

Need your suggestions

Systems architect

I 18 year old developer, currently learning nextjs and reacting native

I never followed any youtube video to learn this, just directly jump into the build project.

Used next to building college projects, ised react native to help my friend in his project.

And now i am confused about what type of learning path i am following.

(dont know much about react. Sometimes, i have used a few things, but I dont know what they are called)

Feedback on my learning process

Q. I want write the most sophisticated code as I am not sure if I am using the best practices in the industry like securing pages, API calls, components etc. I use react js. Where can I learn the best coding practices a professional should follow... 
2. I have another query as well.. 
We use next js just for front end and we are not utilising it's full potential like ssr etc. Is it worth using just for front end? People in my company say it provides better route structure but on the contrary.. React feels like a play ground whereas next is limited in provided libraries. What do you have to say.

Want to learn state of the art front end practices in react js

Frontend Engineer

I've been looking for react js developer role and I am fresher but every company I approach they want experience react js developer what should I do in this case. Should I learn more technologies like next js, typescript to embrace my resume infront of recruiter or anything else. 

Please provide me with your suggestions!

What should I do if company wants experience react js dev

Which tech stack is good for current and future market MERN or Java with React?
I have a 2 YOE in MNC - C******nt.

MERN or Java with React? Which is good ?

Hey guys, 
Recently got a call from a company which offers sdks as solutions to other companies eg: widgets for poll, etc can be done via including their SDK.

And most of the work revolves around web components i.e. plain HTML, CSS and JS and some React here and there. 
So being a Frontend Developer experienced in Next.js, React, Typescript, Tailwind CSS, SASS/SCSS, Redux, Zustand, etc.
Is it wise to make a switch here ?

Thanks in advance!

JOB Opportunity

I got 2 job offers both are in the associate web developer role. Both companies are service based 100-200 strength companies. I applied as a reactJS developer but this is what they told me about my role-

Company 1 told me that initially you will have to work on WordPress but later they might develop their product in which they will need reactJS Devs.

Company 2 told me that though the main stack will be JS and its libraries but i might have to learn other languages like PHP based upon the client requirements.

I don't want to be stuck somewhere where I am doing a completely different thing than what I have learnt (MERN stack).

Both companies took 3 rounds in core JS and reactJS.

Both companies are paying decently in the current job market.  I am confused about which one to join or whether I should ditch both and look for more specific reactJS role jobs?

Help me choose a job offer as fresher.

Qualifications: BTech IT from tier-3 college, Pass Out in 2021, CGPA 7

Skills: Python + DSA (Intermediate), HTML, CSS, JS (Intermediate).

In 2021 I was preparing for government job and was really passionate about govt services but I failed in CDS II 2021 and lose all of my focus and my parents want me to get a job in related field so in January 2022 I started looking for job in IT but I was not good at anything and so I thought I wasn't job ready and start learning to Python and DSA and Web Development but in meantime I procrastinated and wasted so much of my time I was demotivated with zero focus and after months I am still not good at anything I don't have anything to show on my resume no projects, no experience nothing.

I have wasted more than a year just thinking what should I do and got nowhere. Lately I started to learn web dev from theodinproject.com and have completed foundations. Tbh i wasted time during this learning phase also and manage to complete this in a month. And after that I started to learn reactjs (haven't completed it yet)

And now I am really desperate for a job. What should I do to get a job with minimum preparation like give 1 months and get a job? I am not looking for something specific. I don't have any goals. ATM I have no idea what I am passionate about.

I'm 24 and unemployed and How can I turn my life around? All those years in school and college I never worked hard enough but now I regret it. I want to work hard now but have been procrastinating a lot. I need guidance on how to get a job and what to learn further to get a job. 

I would really appreciate it if you guys can guide me.

What should I do to turn my life around?

I'm a 2023 grad, and gained 6 months of experience in RPA, specifically Power Automate and Apps. 
However, I'm facing a lack of growth in my current role, as the projects as less.

I've become comfortable with my current situation, receiving a consistent salary and doing wfh, but now I'm concerned about the future and the stagnation of my skill set.

I've decided to upskill myself with a more relevant tech stack. I'm confused between opting for 
1. Java backend with Spring Boot.
2. MERN stack. 
3. Upkill in power automate, apps. 

As a fresher, I'm unsure which path to take. Any advice would be appreciated.
