Hi everyone, I am working in a service based giant of India for the past 2.4 years on Ruby on Rails. Ruby is a dying language & I need to switch as my salary is lower than what peons probably earns so need some guidance.
1. I am wanting to switch to Frontend completely and then some backend in a new company in MERN stack, what salary can I expect for my YoE ?
2. With all layoffs going, how can i make myself somewhat immune to these situations so that I don't have to search for a new job every few months ?
3. Starting frontend and then will be doing backend as well (becoming Full stack) is my choice of MERN stack correct ?

Thanks in advance to all...

Any Ruby/Rails dev here? Let's talk. 

I wanted to dive deep into the framework core, any good blogs/articles you guys recommend?

Senior Engineer

Hey folks,

So, here's the deal - I'm a backend software engineer with skills in Ruby on Rails, Node.js, and TypeScript. My current company decided to f**k me by making fake promises, not giving raises, and expecting me to work even when there is chaos. I was put in a position to leave. If you know of any cool opportunities, a referral would be awesome. Cheers!

Need a referral for SWE

I have been working on Backend development with NodeJs & ExpressJs with databases like Mysql, pg, redis and rabbitmq and some parts of devops like k8s, gcp etc. for the last 3 years. Before that I was working as a C# developer for 2 years. Now I want to learn something challenging. I am done with creating websites and normal stuff.

People are recommending different things like Golang, Rust, Ruby on Rails, Elixir or anything else.

I want to get a global remote job next year. So what should I work on so that I can work accordingly. The competition shouldn't be that much and side projects should be enough to get a good job. Or give a good roadmap.

What technology should I focus on for 2024-25

Hi guys, I am currently working as a data engineer in Deloitte and have worked as a backend developer at a startup before. I really enjoyed backend development and want to get back into it. I am fairly good at Ruby on Rails. I’m looking to learn a new framework that is more in demand in the market right now. Which framework would you all suggest?

Team Lead

Hi everyone, I am working as a ruby on rails backend engineer in a service based giant of India for past 3 years ..

Thinking of changing my role to a front-end developer (I know front-end as ruby on rails requires a good amount of front-end knowledge)

What are some things to keep in mind while changing roles, also for a 3 year experience, what salary should I expect in Bangalore/Gurgaon...?

Also, if you're a front-end developer, what tech do you most predominantly use in day to day coding & also please share your salaries...Thanks !

Changing role. From backend to frontend

I am a backend engineer, working in a tech powered fashion company. 

Total experience: 3.5 yrs
Current CTC : 24 lac fixed, 12 lacs ESOP in 4 years

I joined as a software engineer, this April I will complete 2 years in current company, but Manager saying promotion might not be possible due to current situation and less promo slots available. 

I have been quite a good performer last 2 years , building a crucial project from scratch and handling everything alone due to short staffing. There is sole dependency on me for that project and company has ambitious golas with that project this year. Recently got SPOT award from skip manager as well.

Only talked to manager last week , although we had made a promotion action plan few months back for my promotion this cycle and I meticulously followed every points in that plan , manager doesn't seem to be fighting much for my promotion, although he always says in my face that I am his star performer.


I am really upset with this. What should I do ?? 

Talk to skip manager? Consider switching company ? 

Please suggest me. Thanks. 

P.S : work culture and wlb is good here. Also as I have the complete ownership of the project, I learn as well.

Need you suggestion if I don't get promoted

Are any companies adopting any newer and modern technologies or are they sticking with what they have?

I am a SDE-2(backend with some react experience) at a mid-sized lastmile logistics company in Hyderabad, India. My tech stack is Ruby on Rails with 3.5+ years of experience. I am a non-cse IIT passout.

I am trying to switch companies but unable to get shortlisted by companies like Flipkart, Swiggy, Atlassian, Adobe, Uber, Myntra, PhonePe, Groww, etc.

I have applied to those companies but while applying I saw that in their JD, they had Java/c++/Golang written.
I talked to some HRs as well and 1 of them said they outright reject people who don't have the tech stack mentioned in their JD.

I was under the impression that tech stack doesn't matter much and people do switch tech stacks around while making switches. Also, I thought that RoR is a niche skill and not many developers are around for that so I would be able to get a good career out of it. But turns that the companies working with Ruby are much less.

I am struggling in this situation and unable to find a way out. Daily I apply to lots of companies but getting demotivated day after day. Please who have been at such position before, how did you tackle this?  Right now I am unable to think clearly and make a decision. What would be the best possible way ahead. These are the options that I have thought of:
1. Switch my tech stack to Java (but again I don't know how to achieve that mid-career, should I go for java certification by Oracle).
2. Move abroad to USA and there I can try moving to companies with Java/RoR freshly.
3. Keep trying with RoR in India and just wait it out till some company agrees for an interview.

Or are there any other options available for me? Really puzzled right now.

Trying to switch company but unable to get shortlisted.

I'm a third year student and I'm interested in backend dev and ML stuff. But the sort of math that ML demands is too much for me. If anyone has some tips and tricks to understand ML, please share. Also, one of the seniors who joined the company in which I was working as an intern said that the backend I wrote using python from scratch might be an issue in scalability in the near future and said using Ruby. I had made it using fastapi and now I'm confused. Should I consider a change of interest?

What are your answers, if you are switching after 2-3 years, just for monetary reasons which is/are acceptable to HRs.
