your observation is blinded by the lack of experience. Computer Science is becoming more of a research field than just programming basic logic for a website. If you can't move to research in any subfield of CS, then it is fine to look for other fields. But even there, you will find AI and automation disruptive.

@battletoads So what do you suggest ? In what domain should I pursue higher studies in CS ?

Software Engineer

I do not know about your interests but emerging technologies like cloud, blockchain, ai, security are all going to develop more in the upcoming 10 years with all the hype and bubbles. So there is money to be made at present. However I can't say if these will survive after 10-15 years. After 10 years, I believe quantum computing, space engineering, and robotics will be as booming as AI right now. Battery manufacturing can be the next big thing for the indian industries given EV demands are increasing as well as it is required in all kinds of devices these days. So battery engineering is a way to go as well.

Hi,
I've done my B.Tech in CSE and now have a 4.5 YOE as a software developer. 
As the time is progressing I've observed that computer science may not be as relevant of field anymore as it was 10 years ago in terms of jobs & opportunities. 
Now what I was thinking is to do post graduate in a non-CSE field but still in some sort of technological field.
Has anyone ever done that ? Is it worth pursuing this route ?

I'm a Bcom grad with 2 years of experience as a US recruiter and around 1 year of experience as a customer service rep. I was into IT and tech stuff but I did not pursue anything at the time. Now I am very interested in changing my career paths to anything in the fields of IT but idk what interests me in specific all I know is I am not very fond of the coding side of IT. So can you please suggest what courses/certifications would help me secure a job?

How do I switch my career to IT?

Recruiter

I'm 23 and  working in Bangalore in the Founder's Office role at a startup. I aspire to be a Founder someday and run my own business, but don't have an idea that I am very passionate about right now. 
I have 3 years of work experience as I started working alongside my college. I am really confused whether I should consider Post-Grad or continue working. And if PG, then from India or outside. Any guidance or points to consider would help.

Post-Grad or Work Ex? Looking for guidance.

Frontend Engineer

Hi folks, I’m a Sr. PM at a good startup currently getting 40 LPA. My total experience is 6 years (2 years PM). One of the CXOs suggested to me (over a casual conversation) to consider doing an MBA from ISB or Ivy League colleges if I can afford a career break. 

I know that post-MBA might not see a huge jump in CTC but from a long-term perspective do you think it would be worth it? Will it open more avenues for growth?

Should I go for an MBA?

Product Manager

I'm about to graduate as a B.Tech (CS) grad this year. I have a full time offer at the moment and joining is in June. 

My question is this: I hear from people to go for M.Tech after 1-2 years of industry experience. Is it a good decision to leave a job to do an M.Tech after atleast 2 years of working in the industry?

And also will an M.Tech degree help my career in any way? Preferably in terms of better job opportunities in the future?

I really want to understand more about this.

When to do/not to do M.Tech?

Hello everyone, i have been working in tcs since 1 yr 9 months in an ERP software called PeopleSoft. But I feel there is not much scope in this field so I want to switch my tech domain . Can you please share how can I switch to different tech domain?

Want to switch my tech domain

Hello everyone,I am 2021 CS graduate.I was preparing for GATE  exam for my mtech.But I couldn't perform well enough to get good college.I will probably get around 4000 rank this year.(I know this not good rank for general category and I won't get my desired college/course)I have very good conceptual understanding of CSE subjects like DS, algorithms, databases,and operating systems.But I haven't done any programming and any practical implementation of these.(I only have good btech project on my resume)I have decided to take upcoming TCS NQT to get my first job in IT field.

So my main questions are :-
1)what should be my further direction from here ?

2)Should I take job or give GATE another attempt (along with job)?

3)Also please suggest how can I land my first job  after gap of 1.5 years.?

Need help for deciding further path(CSE graduate with 1.5 years of gap due to competative exam)

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

My background : 
Work
------
2.6 years of Work experience as Software Engineer in WITCH Company handling the middleware and some devops operations in my project.

Education 
-----------
B.tech in CSE from a Tier 2 college 
I started my career a bit late compared to my peers because of some bad decisions in past but I was able to get back on track and gain industry experience . Since past year I realized I haven't grown much career wise . I had plans to pursue Masters earlier but postponed it because of COVID and I realised it's better to gain some experience before going abroad. 
I didn't want to pursue a traditional CS Masters degree since I wanted to explore and learn something new . That's when I came across HCI and over the months my interest in it has deepened . I did take some courses related to HCI and UX to get better understanding. 

Skills
------
I have fairly decent front end skillset with good basics in HTML, CSS , JavaScript and ReactJS . Started learning Figma recently

I want to land jobs as UX Engineer where I do a bit of design and coding . I have got admits from good universities which have specialization in HCI . I wanted to know if it's a good decision to go for masters now and pursue this field .

Is Masters in HCI worth it ?

Hi, I am a recent graduate from IIT from a non cs background. I have a pretty decent salary. I am enjoying software engineering right now.

Is masters or MBA really required to excel in life?

Is higher studies required?

I have Bsc CS degree from a mid college in Mumbai under Mumbai University. I don't have any side projects to write home about. I am working as a Junior dev at an early stage yc startup and I am enjoying working here and learning a lot. But people around me keep telling me that a Masters degree will open up more opportunities. So i just wanted to know, is it worth doing a masters? Or should I keep working and gain experience and build side projects?

Should I consider doing Masters?

Backend engineer

My friend (who is SDE-I in a startup) and I were having a discussion and we both felt that software engineering is probably not the best career for us. 
So I want to ask, what other career options would you suggest for people like me, who have done graduation in CSE and stuck in this software role?

New career for SDE

Ok, 
Does being from IIT mtech give you an advantage in company selection?

Does it open new roles like research in companies which might not be available to a btech graduate ?

What's the particular edge you have seen that Mtech provides?

I personally like the idea of academia where i can research and contribute in some new technologies but if anyone has real world experience and tell me the truth It would be great 

Thank you

Is Mtech From IIT worth

I'm currently looking for post-graduation, actually, I'm so confused about which one to opt for, whether to join MBA or Mtech for professional growth.
Hopefully looking to get paid more salary.
Physically I'm from computer science engineering background graduated this year.
Can anyone suggest me about this!

Post graduation!

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

If someone has close to 3 years experience as a software developer after completing B.tech and wants to pursue M.tech, but for some reason he could not clear GATE exam and wants to join as a software developer after 1 year of preparation gap.

I want to know what will be the impact of this while searching for a job after one year of preparation gap?

Career gap as software developer

Can anyone experienced tell me what is the trend in industry and what could be more valuable in next 5 yr and what should I don't do now,which is relevant now but not remaining relevant in future because I am ending at 1st yr CS ending...

What should I do

System Engineer

Is it worth it to do Master's in 2024 considering how the whole ecosystem is evolving? Doing Master's means I won't be working for 2 years, is that worth it?

MS in CS

I'm working as a software Engineer at a startup with almost 2 YOE. Looking at most of my friends going to usa for masters right after college i felt like I'm making a mistake by not doing the same after listening software engineers earning 100K us dollars there. I thought I'll give myself two years get some work experience and then think about it but honestly I'm still confused if i should switch(which is not proving to be so simple in the current job market) or should I go for masters (again confused here in choosing between usa or Germany or Australia). Will taking almost 40 Lakhs of loan money and doing it be worth it ? Seriously damn confused about what next step to take. When I spoke with the CTO here, he advised it's not worth and you can be earning almost similar money here soon. I'd say FOMO is also a big thing here. As i tell myself let's take the risk, 2 years of study will be done soon and then work for 3-4 years , make big money , repay the loan and get back to India. I'd be having the international exposure, experiencing some above average lifestyle than India , so confused man 

Any grapeviners who might have seen people around them taking this step please suggest me what to do, any advice is greatly appreciated 🙏

Really confused about masters vs switch

Just want to know career prospects and how it helped in long term from career perspective.
