Hey y’all! 

Have a curious question about my career domain. 

I got chance to work with multiple teams in multiple domains through out my tenure at my company. 

I have experience of seller support for 1.2 years, then got into program management and stayed for 1.5 years in that domain. Then I got a chance to work as a QA tester where I did 50% testing and 50% program management work for 3 years. 

So when I apply to new companies now, is it safe to consider I have 4.5 years of experience in program management?  

Thanks in advance folks.

Career Question - Program Management

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Its been 8 months since I have joined my current company. I have previously worked in a B2C PM role. My current company is a data product company and provides services to US companies to send digital and physical notifications to end users. My previous role was much more structured for PM than here. First of all, as business is US based, PM role is more of an order taker. Further, as engineers are experienced, they are not as cooperative as my previous org. Hence, I am in typical PM struggle, responsible for nothing but accountable for everything. Should I build my hard skills like learning sql/analytics or should I work on soft skills like influencing stakeholders etc. 
I have 7 years of experience in program management role and pure 2 years of PM experience.

Software Developer

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I joined TCS 3yrs ago and since then I couldn't switch. I am planning since last year March but actually not able to work on it. Even I couldn't apply actively. Currently I am involved in a role which has nothing to do with development and I feel bit less confident. So I want to know why it is so hard to leave? Does everyone feel same? Is this ecosystem somewhat responsible for this?

Why is it so hard to leave first company?

  Never let a retard shame you for job hopping.  
  Job hopping is one of the fewest ways to attain some economic mobility in this shithole country.   
  For a corporation understand that you're a fungible resource. They'll throw you under the bus once you've outlived their utility. Always lookout for your own personal interest first.

Mentorship for engineers

Engineering Manager

I am a 3rd year student from tier -3 private college, pursuing btech  is it possible to get PM roles just after under graduation, have seen people from tier -1/2 pursuing vague branches like coal mineral sort of engineering and still be able to crack roles as a PM at tech companies . Also one should aim for a role like this after undergrad or just it demands more exp? Also any roadmap you would recommend

PM role after Undergrad ?

In August, I joined a new organization following the closure of my previous one. Things are going exceptionally well – my manager is pleased with my performance, and I'm learning a great deal. Workload is manageable, and during a casual web browse, I discovered high-paying job openings in my field. Now, I'm contemplating whether pursuing interviews is the right move, given the rare opportunities. I've had one-year stints at two previous companies; I'm curious about the potential impact on my career. Appreciate your insights.

Considering leaving my recent job for a higher-paying opportunity – thoughts?

Frontend Engineer

I have 5+ years of total experience - 3+ years of BA (business analyst) + Sr BA experience and a year of Product Manager 2 experience. Then I started my own venture.

I'm thinking about switching back to the product manager role as my firm is not working as per the expectations and product development & growth marketing is something I genuinely enjoy working on.

I need some advice from you all - how can I justify my 'employment gap'? 
What should I tell (or rather hide) about start-up failure?
What should be my approach while applying for PM openings? Where should I start?
I have graduated from an IIT, how can I leverage that?

I know some of these questions would sound noobish, but I really don't have much experience in switching careers. 

Your help is appreciated 🙂.

Need some serious advice

Hey Grapeviners, 

I need some serious help. 

Bit about myself - just graduated this month and working as an APM at a seed stage startup. I have 1.5 years of product experience and 3 years of overall experience. 

Lately, not sure why but I am loving what engineers do. Closely working with them, and I guess it's nostalgic for myself. Because I did coding for 6 months and moved on for some reason. So, I understand how tech actually works. Have got good feedback regarding this. 

At the same time, I am not really finding the true value of what I am doing everyday. Feels a void inside. 

Also, I am not able to discuss all these things in person with someone, because I fear that they will judge me after doing internships for 3 years, I still haven't figured out my career. Such a loser I am. 

I have been thinking about starting coding again and maybe switching to a coding job in the next 6 months maybe. But again it would be tough for me as I only got weekends for me to learn all this stuff. 

What do you all experienced folks suggest? What should I do? 

Please comment if you can help🙏

Ideal package for QA with 9 Yrs

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Guys,
I graduated in 2020. Started software engg job in 2021 April. Due to covid the joining date got delayed.
I needed money so I started a informal company/ vendor and I  built a team of 5-10 people and used to provide educational material to unacademy like mcq and subjective question papers of 6-12 th class. 
I got fired from apna last month. Should I include this experience in my updated resume?

2020-2021 : above mentioned work
2021-2022: Service based company
2022-2023 sept: apna


Question:
1. This work experience is not related to soft engg at all. So how does engg managers/hiring managers/recruiters see this thing?
2. I am thinking this experience can show I tried something different and had an experience of managing people little bit. 
I am afraid on how hr/ senior software enggs would react to that in screening call.

Please guide. Looking for ans from senior devs/hrs/ Ems.

Need advice in adding work experience.

I wish to know the pros/cons of frequently switching jobs. 
I am in a dilemma, there are posts here and there that say don't switch frequently and then there are posts that nobody cares about frequent job switches, as you are a dev.

Let's discuss ladies & gents✍️

Pros/Cons of Frequent Job Switching

Imagine you are the Hiring manager looking for a Tech Lead who is having 8-10 years of experience. 
  
 He/She has already switched 6-7 companies in the period of 9 years. Will you consider that person working for you? 
  
 I personally won’t.

DevOps Engineer

Hiring for a bunch of roles for an early stage startup. Salaries of people who have been laid off is through the roof

2-3 years experience asking for 30-40l and while we chose not to judge the experience and spoke to a few of them, most of them are not even worth half of the pay. 

Many are jobless since last 2-3 months and none of them are willing to take a paycut of even 5-6L and are willing to stay jobless ( probably have a ton of savings )

Market correction is necessary.

Roles : PM, software engineers, generalists

What's wrong with salaries

If you are paid less, don’t extrapolate it on others. If they are willing to wait, let them. You should keep praying for “corrections”.
