Hi folks, I have 2.5 yr of experience in react native and JavaScript combined with current CTC of 12 LPA. Few months of experience in frontend. Currently I want to switch from my react native position to frontend position without taking a pay cut. How much is it different from react native and where should I be focusing the most. 
Reason for switching: I am not comfortable in current organisation with the way management works and I am also tired of react native.

Need help in switching position

I have 7 years of experience in IT with Mobile technology especially iOS. But now I can see there is not a big, long run and easy adaptive market in future to stick with technology. People with 3-4 years of experience can do the same what I am doing now. Although I have Team build and project management skills also but those are another level of headache. I have some experience with back end Tecnologies also and I love technical work and problem solving things. So I want to know want to know what I need to start learning next which is in high demand and high in pay and what are the various steps to learn those things.
Some suggest AI, ML things some suggest Cloud Computing etc but nobody know what’s it way to grow with it. 

So I need your help with some brief short guidance  for what I need to learn next. I am open for It.

What’s next I need to learn ?

What's a professional skill you thought you'd use all the time but rarely do?

Rarely used skills

Is IIT IIM tag worth it? I hear it works in the matrimony market if not in the job market

Those who lower standards are thieves of potential.

It is challenge that reveals the shape of our talents.

The sparring partner that hits back. The teacher with the red pen.

Resistance builds strength.

Skill comes to the player of the unrigged game.

Suppose you could be very good, like, REALLY good at something that very few people could do, what do you imagine being?

It's okay for it to be unrealistic or unrelated to what you currently do.

For example, being an international snooker player 🤷🏻‍♂️ or mastery in woodwork specific to making storage/usable compartment based "russian dolls".

What's the wildest or absurdly normal thing can you think of?

If you could choose a mastery, what would it be?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Had the first (exploration) call with my would-be boss and HR lead to figure out which role I would fit in. Company is an MNC startup, best culture ive heard of, lots of friends working there in different verticals etc. I usually dont reveal salary this early on but it was a very quick call and they asked about it and I felt like I had to this time to not come off as a snob or stuck up.

Chances are low and I am okay pushing back but Im paranoid about getting lowballed now. Any advice on how to better my chances in the upcoming rounds? Greatly appreciate any help

Revealing salary in the first round. Yay or nay?

It depends on where you are in terms of the compensation spectrum. It can definitely lead to bias if your current salary is not on the higher side. 
  
 For too long, I have played this back and forth game of revealing salary and asking them for budget and frankly, it’s too tiring in Indian recruitment circles. 
  
 So, I have started just being honest from the beginning about my current pay & expectation and have seen recruiters be transparent about their budgets too. 
 Eventually if a company has to lowball they anyway would, but I am glad that I don’t have to exercise so much cognitive effort playing this game of riddles

If frequent job switch does matter then how frequent? Every 6 months is frequent or every 1 year is frequent?

What other criteria do you also see?

While hiring, do you really care about a candidate’s frequent job switch or just skill set?

What is one extremely important skill/quality to possess to be a good founder?

Hey SDEs and techies out there, plz give me an info.
I have been consistently practicing DSA for the past 4 months , I have solved around <200 problems. Now when can I consider myself an interview ready? I can understand that "mere count" doesn't matter, but as an employee/hiring manager/Recruiter how much of Leetcode (say 3000+/500+ problem) will attract you to check out the profile/give referral/get interested in?
What else will you look out for in a candidate with 2YOE? Your insights will be valuable. Thanks a ton

Leetcode & DSA

For people who work in teams or build teams to work on projects, apart from the obvious skillsets to perform the job, what other things do you look out for?
I'm essentially talking about soft skills.

For me, someone who can articulate their thoughts and communicate efficiently is soo freaking important!
Curious to know what others think.

That one skill you want in your teammate?

Intern

Hi reddit community I have something to ask. During time of placement lot of companies preferred girls and some only came for girls. The reason hr gave was to maintain a healthy ration in company and its easier to do it at entry level . 

Now, as people gain experience things such as college tag cgpa and other thing do not value while switching . Your algorithmic skills and developmental skills matters. 

For experienced people also does diversity hiring happen as it is the case for freshers. Do company prefer girls? If possible can someone share their experience? 

While talking to one of the senior didi she told that diversity hiring and all these things happen at entry level only, there are many programs that only recruit girls for entry level but for experienced people only skills matters

Does diversity hiring even happens at experienced level

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Hello folks. While I'd like to remain anonymous very much, here's what I can share about myself.

1. Working in consumer finance.
2. Love personal finance and helping people out with it.
3. Have published 10,000+ pieces of financial content in the mainstream media.
4. Wrote a best-selling book on money management. It was No. 1 on Amazon once upon a time. 
5. Lately been appearing on TV regularly for personal finance discussions.
6. Saved like crazy through my 20s and 30s, brought two apartments; have an 8-figure net worth mostly thanks to my mutual fund investments. It's not much but it's hard-earned.
7. My unrealised aspiration is travel and I'm working on it now.

No, I'm not selling anything. No commissions, no referral links, no finfluencing. 

Just want to talk, exchange ideas, and learn from you all. Maybe I'll feature you in my next book. :)

Ask me anything.

Let's talk money habits.

This is mostly for people who have spent 10+ years in the industry. I’m sure we all can agree that the hiring and salary boom that we witnessed in 2021-22 is mostly over now. Now it’s more about surviving the job market rather than printing asymmetrical amount of money

But how has it turned out for people who’ve been in the game for too long. I know some people who switched jobs too quickly and are at a higher package but still not content. At the same time, I know a few seniors who’re still in my first company and are happier than ever with the work.

I understand that in Tier-1 cities, the expense itself is more and you’re sometimes forced to switch just to stay afloat. But what would you recommend new joiners based on your experience? Does chasing money in early years help later or only focusing on skills?

Chasing money or skills? What paid off at the end?

Should alter the choice during switches. 
  
 If a switch is taken for money then next switch should be for skill or promotion and so on
