Need help to prepare for FAANG

Solution Architect

Hey everyone,

I'm currently working as a SDE at a startup with about three years of experience. I'm considering making a move, and I've received an offer from an early-stage startup where I'd be joining as a founding engineer.
My main motivation for wanting to switch to some startup is the potential for high learning and growth opportunities, especially since I'm still relatively early in my career. However, I'm a bit torn between targeting multinational corporations (MNCs) like FAANG and sticking with startups.On one hand, MNCs offer more stability and potentially valuable stock options, which can be more than just paper money. 
So, my question is, should I prioritize learning and growth by staying with startups, or should I also consider the FAANG tag and potential stock benefits? Also Would there be any added advantage when I later interview at some FAANG , after working as a founding engineer for 3-4 years in some startup (given I’ll have to build multiple things from scratch and owning multiple modules). The base package for the offer I hold is roughly equivalent to what FAANGs pay at my level.

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I've been working as a Software developer with a total of 2.5 years of exp in an MNC.  I want to explore other areas like consulting. Can y'all suggest how I can get started and would I be a fool to try applying to the Big4?

Also let me know if the whole shebang about consultants getting to travel more true or it depends on other factors??

Career Advice

Growth Manager

I was recently impacted by layoff and having 20yrs of exp into application support and service management with last 10yrs grown into a middle management role(limited tech hands-on and no dev experience nor CS background)

While I am financially ok atm and can manage staying at home for next 12-24 months, I am not financially independent yet. its getting too boring and I want to get back into some sort of work routine as I am keen on retirement yet.

Challenges I am seeing with finding a new opportunity:

- The job market seems to be quite restricted for senior roles with that experience
- Few that came across were at a substantial low salary.  
- Some others required significant hands-on experience 

Thought process::

- While salary is not a major concern, I am not sure if I makes sense to take a pay cut.
- Given the speed of tech changes, not sure what kind of learning/certification would be helpful
- Even if I do tech self-learning, lack of practical hands-on seems to be a drawback
- At 40+ while I am open to work hard and learn, i view is to find a job and learn into it , rather than other wat round

Any guidance/pointers would be appreciated. As would any leads/introductions on suitable opportunities you know of.

Hi!

I have a professional dilemma and would appreciate any thoughts, advice and experience you can share.

I have a 5+ years in strategy consulting working for a Big4 - I like my work, team and the organisation 

Though, now I crave for some different experience - maybe work for startup’s or a VC firm

I have been offered a job in a boutique investment bank - which works with startup’s in India

My questions:
1. Is it worth switching for a Big4 to a Boutique Investment Bank - will it effect my further employability
2. Does this get me closer to my goal of working for a VC fund someday?
3. What salary hike should I ideally expect 

Thank you in advance for all the help!

Quit my current job in a startup & starting as a consultant - need advice

Founder

We have heard so much about how IT services consulting company is bad over Product based company (e.g. TCS vs Amazon/Microsoft ). I want to know about pros and cons of going into a consulting company from a product based company.  I felt my learning was very slow in the Product based company and hence thinking of joining a startup. Right now I have an offer from IT consulting startup in the domain of AI, Blockchain, Cloud Applications. What can you tell me about this? I looked on LinkedIn but there are not enough employees (250 only) , so unable to get opinions. Most of them are 1-3 yrs experience and joined right out of college. So their views are not helping much.

Suggestions for new Consultants

Consultant

Hi all,

As the title suggests, I want to break into FAANG and companies like Uber, Walmart, MSFT and the likes but unable to do so. 

A bit about me:

BITS Pilani 2021 grad. I have ~3 YOE as a PM, 2 years at a major ecommerce unicorn and now, I'm at a relatively mid series C startup. I had to quit that unicorn because of toxicity and health issues, I still kind of regret it.

For my next move, which I'm planning in the next 2 years, I want to get into FAANG+ companies, but I'm afraid that since I'm not working at a company like Swiggy/Flipkart or a company of equivalent brand value, I won't be able to make it even past the resume screening. 

What should I do from here? Is it impossible for me to get into the companies I have mentioned?

What should be my path to becoming a FAANG PM?

Product Manager

I did my graduation in Mechanical Engineering from Delhi Technological University. Worked my ass off during covid lockdown to grab a Software developer job. Number of hours spent on DSA and development for straight 3 years. 

I was able to grab a decent package being from mechanical background. Currently i am working in Accenture as a software developer -> Java full stack developer + Angular (12LPA ctc, 9 Base)

I want to work in a product based company which has better opportunities for me because i feel there is very limited opportunities in accenture and somehow people do not encourage to go for them at all. 

I need guidance on which companies should i be looking for great opportunities, great tech stack, with good management. Salary is never a obstacle for me. I am just looking for growth at this point of time in my career. Currently i am back to DSA again for interview preps.

Referrals are also well appreciated.

Tech consulting - Advice needed

Business Analyst

I am a fresher 2023 graduate and have been doing this (applying for jobs) for almost a year, everyone said you have to do internships as it is necessary so did 2 internships one for a year and another for 6 months but apparently no one counts internships as experience even jobs that had 1-3 yoe as requirement and now everyone's hiring 2024 grads as freshers (I tried to look for another internship but there were none during the time of placements).

I am now tired of this field, many full stack devs don't know shit outside Javascript world and many of them can't even use tools like git properly and are so cocky of themselves. 

Saw an SDE on twitter who apparently has 6 years of experience, doesn't even know how to configure multiple SSH and says managing multiple ssh is a downside. A women dev (cause in India you have engineers and female engineers apparently) doesn't know about sidebar cache and calls it a bug and she's in google. and If I try to roast these people with my real name there's a whole cabal of Banglorians who will grab their macbooks inside third wave coffee and start tweeting against me after aggressively drinking their Chocolate mocha frappe.

Just go into any random tech twitter space no one seems to be talking about tech it's always about DSA, interviews, LIFE IN BANGLORE, which cafe they visited.

I let myself believe tech was my passion and worked hard  for but Indian techies and companies are worst, this generation thinks they are better than their predecessor but follow the same politics everywhere even when it comes to Tech communities (who tf does politics in a community that produces open source code wtf).

They talk about networking and creating a community all the time but can't even respond to linkedin cold dm and blame the sender by nitpicking about the format 👏👏 and then they'll go on post the screenshot and rant how it's the sender fault to even try to network with them with a message that isn't written from their own blood.

Tech rant

Bangalore tech scene is weird man. I feel even the auto driver knows how to code and the third wave barista is definitely doing leetcode because that coffee & sandwich clearly don't take 15 minutes to make

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

currently I work in an ai consulting company (<40 folks) with 20+ lpa salary.
recently I got an offer from a big mnc bank for around 15% hike on my total ctc.
I informed my current org yesterday and they have countered me with a 20% hike now. 
I am confused on what to choose.
ps: I have ~5 yoe.

not sure what offer to take

The work hours are catching on, don't want to do 70hrs+ weeks. The promotion at 2 yr mark is also difficult (over hiring in our batch, not enough demand + not exceptional performance at my end). Doesn't make sense to stick around for another year at current comp and workload

What are some exit options in the current market? How should I think about evaluating the career move

1.5yr in MBB post MBA, possible exits in current market?

Hi all, I'm an MBA graduate with a degree in marketing and operations. I recently joined Cognizant as a business development analyst, and I'm really enjoying the role. However, I'm also interested in switching to a business analyst or business consultant role I'm particularly interested in cloud consulting, as I'm already certified in AWS and I'm currently pursuing
a Professional AWS certification. I'm looking for some advice and suggestions on what other roles I could switch to.
TIA
