Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I have just transitioned into a saas startup. Coming from a non-tech consulting background, saas is a whole different domain for me.

I have already been immersing myself in resources online such as podcasts, books, videos, articles and stackexchange newsletters to ramp up my knowledge about this space.

However, given the amount of information overload online, I'm finding it difficult to filter out materials. Hence, I'm requesting people of grapevine to recommend me top 3/5 resources I should follow/read to meet fulfil this objective.
The aim is to have just 3-5 top resources to fall back on to fill in my gaps about this space and not get overwhelmed my the magnitude of content available online. Any other unsolicited tips will also be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am from capital markets and consulting background with 11 yrs of experience. I have been tinkering on SaaS idea and business plan for last few years for a niche product useful for CFOs. The problem is, I have zero knowledge of Tech. Can you suggest the steps to build SaaS business or some resources (articles, videos, course) that can be useful for beginner like me.

Noob question. How to build SaaS?

Equity Research

I have interviewed few times in SAAS domain, and in System Design round, I feel that I lack some basic understanding sometimes. It is obvious because I have not worked in such domain, but my Tech Interviews include things like Multi Tenancy, CQRS and what not.

Any suggestions, resources, blogs that can help me ramp up for SAAS based System Design Interviews?

How to prepare for SAAS based interviews

Staff Engineer

Having worked in IT as a developer and other tech roles, I am having a feeling of how long I am going to do the same and keep grinding myself for someone else’s businesses to grow.

I personally feel from childhood I would enjoy and love to do something of my own but I am so confused and have not much idea on what to start and from where to start.

Feels stuck somewhere and actually I am doing nothing.

Any suggestions?

🚀 Seeking Product Management Learning Resources 🚀

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

Fresher. Need help with choosing technologies.

Guys I need suggestions: Since from 2year I working on repeating task as Frontend Engineer, I feel very unskilled now , what should I do,

Frontend Engineer

1) Which tech books are you currently reading. Also how do you guys manage your time among office work, personal learnings, social life, etc. It feels pretty darn hard to do so.

2) I'm a fresher working in deployment infra area i.e k8s & stuff. Any books you find interesting in this side of the things? Pls share them.

Ps: Feel free to answer only the first question which is generic in nature to help everyone reading this. But if you can spare some time, then would appreciate the answers for 2nd also.

Book suggestions📚

"Hello everyone! 
I'm looking for a mentor who can guide me in my journey to learn Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA). My goal is to land a job at a product-based company, and I believe having a strong foundation in DSA is crucial for success.

If you're experienced in DSA and have knowledge of the industry, I would love to learn from you. Please DM me or message here in comments if you're willing to mentor me and help me achieve my goals.

Specifically, I'm looking for guidance on:

- Creating a study plan for DSA
- Practicing problems and reviewing concepts
- Preparing for technical interviews
- Learning about the industry and product-based companies

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration! I'm excited to learn and grow with your guidance."

Can someone be my mentor?

Software Developer

I'm a PM with 2.5+ years of experience. I have a habit of reading product management newsletters. But now I'm planning to start with good product management books. 

Suggest a book that you've read and was practically useful in your work. This can help folks like me facing this issue of choosing between an ocean of books out there.

Suggest the best PM book you've ever read

I had picked up DDIA and was wondering if reading the entire book is actually worth it. Is it better to just go through some GitHub repos or blogs that summarise the book well?

Also what are some books that have actually helped you through your software engineering career and you would highly recommend?

What are some books or resources that you would highly recommend? (Software Engineering)

A friend of mine is working at a leading financial services company with over 100k employees. 
He feels like he'd want to be part of something smaller, create more impact and help it grow rather than be just a part of the crowd.

Where should he start? How can he find the suitable people and jobs?

How does someone get into the startup culture?

Associate

I am in my 5th sem of my engineering degree. Didn't start DSA neither did any development. Can anyone recommend where to start and how to start for both and any tips?

Need help!

I work for a capital venture, and I wanna  know where do I find leads (recent Indian startups and their valuation and other info) for my company without the help of platforms like crunch base, tracxn and other websites like these.

Suggest me

Hi all, for a quick background, I graduated from a Tier 1 college this year. My offer got deferred and finally revoked. I have joined a wfh company for 40% of the previous package. Work here is not very hectic and I definitely want to switch from here in a year or so. 

I think it's a good time for making a good personal project to learn new tech ( non circuital branch with not much dev experience). I was thinking of a full stack microservices based project in node as I have done a mern stack project before. I won't be able to make end to end from scratch. 

Can someone suggest a resource, for eg any course, from where I can get theoretical as well as implementation knowledge.  Or, if any other suggestions that would be appreciated.

Suggestions regarding dev project

Hi everyone,

I've recently become fascinated by startup culture and am eager to build something meaningful and inspiring. 

Can you recommend resources or communities where I can learn about tech startups, discover new and emerging startups, and understand what makes them successful? I'm looking to immerse myself in a community that lives and breathes startups.

Thanks!
