Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I am a 2023 passout. My first 3-month internship started in December 2022, where I worked as a Shopify developer using HTML, CSS, jQuery, and its own language, Liquid. I left it since I had no interest in Shopify. I was hired as a React developer, but instead, they gave me Shopify. My second internship was also for 3 months, where they assigned me React Native but paid me too little. I don't have the internship certificate for this. In my third company, they again gave me a 6-month internship with the possibility of full-time later. I am currently working with Node.js, React, Docker, and Jenkins. My internship has been converted to full-time now. What more skills should I explore to increase my package? Currently, I am earning 4 LPA. When I switch, can I show my previous intern experience as an experience? And can the internship in my current company be counted as experience?"

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi viners,
I am a 23 pass out and I joined an organisation from my college placements, which is a startup in a metro city which works on web dev and web3 domain basically. So in the first 6 months of my internship, I got some exposure of frontend, web3, solidity and then gained interest in backend. Later on when I got full-time offer, was deployed on a US based project where I am working on the profile of a 9 years experienced node js developer as a ghost developer since last 8 months and it has been smooth so far, I have handled most of the things and I am performing well, my manager is also quite impressed with me there but I am not seeing any personal growth or professional growth working there as it has reached kind of a saturation and I am not learning anything new. So, please help me out with some suggestions if you have any?
And also now I am a 1+ years experienced full stack dev with knowledge of web3 and blockchain stack, so any job reccs will also be appreciated, as my priority is to switch as early as possible

Working as a ghost developer

Web Developer

Hello I'm 22F a 4th year student from a tier 3 college. I got placed on campus in a very small scale startup for 6.5 lpa but the internship period was of 9 months at 15k per month in blr. Now they have announced that they won't be giving PPO to us. My internship is ending in March 2024 before that I need to get into a new job. But all the openings are low paying i.e. 3 or 4lpa jobs and I'm in doubt with my DSA skills. I need someone who can mentor me on this path. I've worked on mostly Java, Springboot, Automation testing and C++. 
How should I prepare along with my internship in this 2 months?

In need of Guidance

I have completed my B. Tech few days ago. Working in a small startup for 3lpa and I am not getting any projects to work. Initially I was trained to work in spring boot . Now they are told to learn devops and so I learnt them and now I'm not have any work related to cloud also.Sitting simply throughout the day. I have joined the company as intern in july 2023. Any Guidance what to do what to learn. I'm currently learning DSA. I have knowledge in spring boot, AWS and some devops concept.

Need Guidance

In 2016, my tech journey began in Bangalore as a Java developer intern at a small startup. Learning and gaining industry experience were my main goals, and the internship was unpaid. After six months, I was offered a permanent position. Although I never got the promised salary of 2LPA, I was happy to have more opportunities to learn and upskill myself. I learned front-end development, built an Android app, and deepened my backend expertise. It was a phenomenal learning experience. 

In 2018, I transitioned to a full-stack developer role at a Fintech company. Initially, the growth in learning and earning was decent. However, things took a turn. Upfront, I admit I wasn't overly concerned about income due to a comfortable family situation. Now things have changed drastically. Until now, I was not regretting the career choices I made but now I don't know exactly how to feel. Despite management's promises of a decent raise for the past two years, there has been no progress(Current - 8 LPA). Currently, I'm actively upskilling java and exploring new opportunities as a backend developer.
Your guidance on aligning my salary expectations with market standards would be invaluable. Thanks in advance.

A Coder's Journey to Redefine His Value

I am a frontend dev, I had 8 months of internship experience where I worked as a frontend dev intern Plus now I am working full-time as a front-end dev in another company and have five months of full-time work experience here. Does my internship experience also count when I look for a new job or only full-time experience would be considered? I am looking for a switch so can I apply for 1+ yoe jd

Ask me anything! I work in engineering and I’m happy to answer any questions you might have on what it’s like to work in a startup.

This one’s for the startup people

Founder

Hello everyone, I am currently in my 4th semester and I am seeking a paid internship starting in August. So far, I haven't secured any internship opportunities, and this would be my first. I have built projects using the MERN stack and Next.js. What steps should I take and how should I approach companies for an internship? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated and helpful for me.

Big bucks boys

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.

You are being paid 75% of what others are being paid at the same level. 
  
 Reduce your inputs by 75% to achieve fair parity (no. of tickets or work hours or whatever). 
  
 Use the saved time to prepare for your job switch.

Software Developer

I am a Product Designer at an Edtech Startup (raising 20m Series B soon) with almost a year (1) of full time experience but overall almost 3 (including internships) at some great companies.

As I am looking for a change what salary should I expect? Considering:-

- I have a design degree from a Non-IIT/Non-NID Tier 1 University (known for good engineers) [so good foundation hopefully]
- The companies I have interned at range from Japanese MNC/Conglomerate, Indian Fashion focused E-Commerce Giant, Indian Food Tech/Delivery Giant & an Indian Digital Transformation Giant.
- The average stipend I earned at these companies was around 40K/month.
- The salary I earn right now every month is between 70 - 90K
- I believe I have Got good Product focused UX knowledge. [Part of the Product team not a seperate Design Team]
- Not another Figma/Framer drooling Designer.
- Many of my peers from my alma mater are placed in Big Tech or Desi Giants owned by Foreign Giants

So what salary should I be expecting? (Keeping aside the ESOP/RSU part)
Is ~ 1.25L/month in hand is right ask?

Please suggest.

How much Salary to expect? [INDIA] 🇮🇳

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Context: I am 22 years old with a BBA degree from a tier 1 college. After college, worked as intern with a few online marketing startups for around 4-5 months, Post that joined a fintech company as an intern setting up a new vertical that they're building( part of first few hires). I've worked here for around 6 months as an intern and now that my internship is coming to an end I've been told that full time conversion is off the table but they'll gladly extend my internship period. 
Reason: performace not good enough.

I feel purely from an opportunity standpoint continuing here would be great for me as there's a lot of scope for learning and growth however what makes me anxious is the fact that this wouldn't reflect well in my CV and hence would probably be a potential bottleneck in the future wrt higher education or switching companies for that matter.

Career advice

Growth Manager

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

Backend Engineer
