Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

What do you think, most companies are directly setting shops (GCCs) here. Will it lead to degrowth of the industry?

IT services in India 📉?

Software Engineer

I am working remotely at a SaaS company for 4+ years now. I started working since my final year of engineering. I joined here as a software engineering intern when the product was really new and booming. I have gotten bored of my work now, especially since I have been working from home all the time. I have very little social life. And I am getting fixed salary of about $1400 each month. I am thinking of switching to any Indian startup because I am not happy with my job being so monotonous and less pay at this level of experience. What should be the approach to crack the interviews? I have done DSA practice during my college days, but didn't crack any interviews with it. I am a full stack web developer but it doesn't excite me anymore and I want to stick to backend roles. And is it possible to crack an interview with for 30-40 LPA at this stage? Or do I have to climb up a salary ladder for a couple of years?

Switching to Indian startups job

This is a bit surprising tbh, i still see them in demand everywhere

Record lows in software hiring 😮

Product Owner

I am seeing a lot of layoff related posts everywhere from news articles to LinkedIn.. Is the Job market really that bad now? Or just the media is projecting that way? 

If it's really bad, which department you think is the most affected? How's layoffs specifically in India? Or is it layoffs in US but more hiring in India due to cost cutting? 

Are layoffs in technology/engineering dept as in for developers or some other departments? Your thoughts please..

Job Market right now in India?

It is really bad right now 
 1. Layoffs in many of the companies, irrespective of whether they're a startup or a big MnC. 
 2. Almost everyone I know of wants to switch, because of no/less appraisals from last 2 years 
 3. Bad work life balance - people thinks switching might help 
 4. Too much competition for any open position. Because of too much supply, companies are low-balling and people would accept the offer.  
  
 Recruiters ghosting is too common. Even if you've killed in your interviews and recruiters get someone who's ready to join on less pay, they'll simply ghost you.

IT industry is going on the least downfall as compared to the last 20 years. College graduates are not getting jobs and the IT professionals are in the fear of loosing their jobs anytime. There is no surety for any company or any employee even of they have given their best for the last n number of years. 

Is it fair for us to vote the government on religious grounds?

Kudos to Ravish Kumar for unvieling the reality of the government

Pointing out mistakes is fine. But just want to ask the options out here? Between Modi & Rahul Gandhi (probably the PM candidate)...I don't it can be much clearer than this. I see all these andhbhakt comments in this chat but I will rather be a Andhbhakt than vote for a person who has never held a position of power and wants the position of PM all because of his surname.

Why India does not have technology-based product companies and why early companies like TCS, Infosys etc did not focus on the product.

India lacks technology companies.

I am a software engineer, as of now I have 1 year of experience in Ruby on Rails, I'm interested to change to another one. should i go for the change or I have to stick on my current technology?

Switching my current technology after 1 year!

For me it was always startups and now looking at the landscape I think it’s very hard. For 8 years, I just wasted my time.

Anything I am building is failing. Couldn’t raise any funds, non of my products reached mass market or gain enough profits. Have skills but non to utilise on!

Indian B2C is extremely hard, and even though people think Saas is great, bad news guys, Indian business rather use excel than pay for jira. There is a saying now - “Easier to earn a dollar than a rupee”.

Have meet so many founders and VCs. Most of them lost touch of reality. Either moved to US or on leave from their own startups.

Only think I know is going through a complete mental breakdown and no one to look up to. My gf left last year, can’t even get any jobs in this market neither can build something useful.

- **India's top IT firms** are controlling people costs amid a global slowdown.
- **Middle and senior executives** are being replaced by junior employees, with upskilling investments accounting for 5-7% of costs.
- **Wage costs** for TCS, Infosys, and HCLTech have declined, while Wipro saw a slight increase.
- **Attrition rates** have risen slightly across major firms.
- **Future hiring** remains uncertain, influenced by global events and market conditions.

Lead Engineer

So basically the title. European countries like are flirting with the idea of 4 days work week and here at India we have people like Narayan Murthy who is suggesting youngsters to work for 70 hours per week and many people are supporting him including one politician from Congress. I mean why is it so? It makes my blood boil and it's motivating me everyday to leave this country and get a job at some European nation.

Why is there no work life balance in Indian corporate setup?

I'm thrilled to share our latest developments in our startup:
 We launched our prototype and it's gaining momentum! Our previous product, currently in stealth mode, has remarkable insights. 
However, the GPU usage costs have skyrocketed.

 Our new goal? To build an AI platform that serves as a cost-effective hub for training AI models. No one's tackling this issue, so we are the first ones to solve this issue. We already have some ties with the microchip manufacturer.

 Here's the thing: While we've been self-funded until now, we're now exploring seed funding. But there's a catch – we're cautious about accelerators and VCs. I have seen them undervalue my mate's company and prioritize quick revenue over steady growth.

So how should we go about it ?

I'll drop an example post for much clearer problem statement.

Exploring Seed Funding Options for Our AI Innovation

Why indian it

I have actively hunting remote startups (mostly in Europe that can offer WFH in India as a contractor or full time)
Also looking out for MNCs that offer remote within India


Please extend the list as per your knowledge:

1. Atlassian
2. Twilio
3. Okta
4. Toggl
5. Coinbase
6. Sourcegraph
7. thirdweb
8. Scalable capital

Let's maintain a list of companies which offer remote

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?
