Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I'm a full stack developer with 2 years of experience at a small startup, working primarily with Node.js, Express, TypeScript, GraphQL, Svelte, Vue, and PostgreSQL. I'm considering switching to a larger PBC company and have some time to prepare, but I'm conflicted about where to start. Should I focus on learning Docker, cloud technologies, or DSA? I previously did DSA in Java—can I continue with Java, or should I switch languages?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I am a JAVA backend dev, currently in TCS with 5.5 yrs of exp. I want to switch to a Product now. My dev skills are good. I have worked in few projects. With this many years of exp, the expectations are too high now, System Design, Kafka, Jenkins, Docker and DSA on top of that. I don't know how to start, once I start preparing DSA I feel like I am missing on reading system design and other stuff. Also, I don't feel confident about my DSA skills. Are there any devs here who were very bad in DSA but are very confident now. Please share your experiences in comments. Since I already have so many years of exp, this is my last chance to switch to a good product company. Please guide.

Expectations from 2 YOE Full Stack Dev

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hi folks, 
I'm stuck here, I joined this organization a year ago. Still on bench. I'm from a mechanical engineering background. Know only the basics of Java, HTML, CSS, little bit of Javascript. 

Should I learn DSA along with Java and spring boot, mirco services or Javascript, react js. Or please suggest me other tech if they are feasible and would help to switch from my current organisation.
If you have time, a roadmap would be very helpful. Please guide me on this matter.
                            
                                                    Thank you.

What should I do? Please guide me

Software Engineer

I am actually a nodejs developer 2 yoe . I feel that Javascript is not sort of ideal language to learn and practices dsa and competitive programming. 
Except Javascript, I am not good in any pgm language. 
Can anyone guide me which language I shall choose... My thoughts are like

1. C++ :- most preferred language for dsa and cp but has almost no application in majority of Indian IT industry. Learning c++ would mean learning it only for dsa and no other application. 

2. Python :-  Has good application in industry but not sure about anything else. Heard that there are complex data structures pre built so not an idea choice.

3.Java :- Very much becoming sort of legacy language, too many fremworks etc and not to mention I scored 40% in java in my college so totally abhoring it. 

Please guys, give me suggestions and help me.. I have around 8 months to learn language and practice dsa, cp and all

I have 2 years of experience with Javascript. I work mostly with UI's but I'm also very comfortable with Node js. I'm not looking to switch jobs. For now I want to learn DSA basically to become a better developer and a problem solver. Any approaches on how do i start? Do i need a statically typed language for better understanding?

I'm a Frontend Dev who wants to learn DSA

I've recently started my journey with a product-based company as a fresher, where my primary focus revolves around backend development using Node.js. Although I thoroughly enjoy delving into backend architecture and databases, I find myself at a crossroads. Heard many discussions among seniors of the rise of Deno, Go, and Rust, suggesting a shift from JavaScript. In view of a long-term perspective, I am contemplating dedicating time to learning an additional technology and engaging in side projects. Could you kindly share your insights or recommendations based on your experience? Your guidance in this tech landscape would be greatly appreciated. #BackendExploration #TechInsights

👋 Hey everyone! I'm a mobile developer with 2.5 years of experience in React Native and Flutter. I'm thinking about making a change and getting back into DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms). Any tips on where to start? Also, how long might it take to get interview-ready if I dedicate 1-2 hours daily and 4-6 hours on weekends? I've been applying for jobs but haven't heard back, any advice? Feeling a bit stuck in my current role and looking for a fresh start. Appreciate your thoughts! 🔄📱 #CareerChange #HelpNeeded

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

Hey 

I joined infosys in oct - 2022 and now it’s been 1.8 months. My tech stack is MEAN stack but I was on bench through the year, recently got into a project but for only 4 months. I developed and learned by my own and gained a better knowledge on angular.
Now the situation my company has made for me that I need to switch asap, within a month or two.

Can anyone suggest me how to prep specifically so that I get offers from other company.

My DSA skills are gone and feel like I need to learn again from basics.
I have knowledge about angular.

Can anyone suggest me how much DSA I should learn and focus right now to clear interviews.
I’m planning to get a grasp over python and start doing DSA questions in that plus polishing my angular skills too. 
I have basic knowledge of node.js MongoDb too.

Will I’ll be able to switch within this time frame?

Please can anyone guide me through it so that I can plan smartly and can switch.

Your help will be really appreciated.

Right now since last 1.6 years working as ML engineer (80% software development+ 20% Data science exposure to me, There is Data scientist team for model development).
