Hi guys
I just wanted to ask out of curiosity.

Is tech an essential if you want to make it big in product, especially in India?
I understand, people from any background can enter product, but in the long term does being from a tech background play an important role in determining your growth?

I understand people would say 'nah' that's not the case, however the stats point towards something different.
(The analysis could be a bit skewed as well since earlier product was purely seen from a tech perspective)

Anyways, let me know what you guys think
Thank you

Is tech the only way?

I have been working in an internal project at a service-based company for almost 3 years now (that's my total YOE) and I feel like I need to move out of my comfort zone. (more so because I've been rotting in my home location since the pandemic). I want to move to a different country and work there (temporary is fine as well)

Can you guys name a few companies that provide onshore opportunities (outside India, preferably European countries) along with the criteria to be deployed on such projects? Please also mention if Visa is arranged by the company or not

Techstack I've worked on till date includes:- 
Asp.Net
Angular
Power Apps
HTML/CSS/JS


Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I see candidates with 2-4 years earning in 20LPA+ whereas sales and marketing folks who sit with 4-8LPA tops. Isn't the disparity too much?

Is tech overpaid? Why not sales or marketing?

Marketing Manager

A friend of me, did his btech from one of the top and oldest iit, in core branch, average with  tech skillset and profile. Howver, despite he not looking for a job right now, is still getting approached by recruiters. Whereas, my other friend, with great skillset and profile, is hardly getting noticed. The same is applicable to salary as well. Iitian gets more pay for same role and yoe. So yeah, college tag matters

College tag MATTERS!!!!

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I have worked in 2 Indian-born startups, one of which has its branch in US and Europe. Almost everyday I have to reach out to folks both in India and in US to ask questions and get details regarding technical features. 

Now, whenever I reach out to people in India, they all have this rude attitude while replying back. For example: if I ask a very detailed question they often don't respond back. Sometimes it takes 2 days, 2 followups to respond. 

Example: As a new joiner I asked a dev "is there is any docs regarding certain product feature. If not could you point me to the PM or EM who worked on it?"
He took 2 days to respond and his response was "NO". Just No. He didn't even read the full text. 🤷🏻 In my 10 year experience, almost 5 in 10 indian employees behave this way. 

Whenever I reach out to US folks, ofcourse they take time to respond but when they do they provide most of the info on slack; whom to reach, how to get access. They seem to have the courtesy to actually help. 

I get it, we all are busy with stuff. But shouldn't we have a basic courtesy to atleast respond respectfully? Why is this need to act superior to others?

Intern

Asking for urgent guidance/help..

I have an offer from above 3 companies for their Analytics team and need to make decision in next 3 days
The offer numbers are more or less same with 10% deviation so not a decision factor for me right now..

Need inputs on following factors to simplify my decision to join - 
1) Team culture, My current Org. has very stressful and bad culture. So, looking for some good place to join where the team and Manager are Atleast supportive and will help in career progression 
2) Build business and Product understanding, My seniors have suggested to get as much knowledge and exposure to business and product as possible and this one is very imp. in long term
3) Best tech stack, Good to have but not necessary : Want to work on some new and relevant tech stack to be relevant in constantly changing market. (Unsure if exposure to GenAI and LLMs are good to have in analytics career path

And finally if any Org./leadership/manager related comments one can suggest that would be helpful too…
this is a very important decision for me and my career growth and would like to stay with this for next few years for sure..

Which one is better for Analytics role - Zepto vs. Slice vs. Phonepe

Ask me anything except my company name, or things that can reveal my identity. I may respectfully choose not to respond to your question based on my own judgement.

Here’s a brief intro about me: I’ve worked as both software engineering manager & software technical architect over the last 18+ years on various tech stacks managing backend, frontend and a little bit of cloud. I have seen ups and downs in the software industry. Currently I’m working as a senior architect in one of the product based companies in India.

I’ve been an Engineering Manager before. Ask me anything.

Software Architect

I recently read an article about the growing skills gap in the tech industry. Apparently, universities just can't keep up with the lightning-fast changes in the field.

It got me wondering - how do you all stay relevant in your careers? Especially with AI taking over jobs. Are there certain skills or certifications you think are essential for staying competitive?

In the rapidly evolving tech industry, how do you keep your skills sharp? Especially in the age of AI?
