Thinking of taking 5-6 months break and switching to Freelancing

I have 10 years of experience as a frontend developer. I am willing to take a break for 6 months so that I can relax for some time and upskill and recharge for next 10 years journey. But I am not confident enough to take this move. Is this doable? Will this become a problem while looking for a job later ?

I am a React.js Developer & have 2 YOE (6 months at a consultancy startup + 1.5 years in a service based MNC). I do not like working with React.js for multiple reasons & do not wish to pursue working with this further. I want to know what are some alternative career paths or technologies that are as much in demand & feasible to switch towards? Ideally, towards a more stable, battle-tested technology or tech stack and something that is as well paying too. (..continued from my original post) Some technologies that I considering are JAVA , ASP.NET & Laravel as unlike React.js, they are not loosely opinionated and don't have a constantly changing API where the way of writing code itself changes (e.g - redux and/or using data fetching libraries) . There is no standardised best practice to conform to. But, the problem is that I find Laravel jobs are not in use in corporates or large tech companies but apparently ASP.net core jobs are not as well paying for equivalent years of experience as that of a front-end React.js developer.

I am a Java Backend Dev with 5+ yrs of experience. I am not happy working in TCS. I want to resign but I have only completed 1 year here. I don’t have any offers in hand. But I reel like once I resign, I’ll feel inner peace. Looking at the current market conditions, shall I go ahead and do it.

I am a PM at an edtech startup. The company is not doing well and my boss is not a good leader. Although company has a runway of 2 years. For the past 3 months I have been doing program management. No product management related work at all. No one appreciates you here. It's mentally challenging to work here. No road map for myself. No appraisal. I'm just going on the job for salary. For the past week, I have been thinking about quitting and taking a break. Then look for a job. I know the market is tough but I have runway for 4-5 months. I have a total of 3 years of Product experience. What should you guys suggest. I really need your help here.

Happy to connect with like minded people to start learning and building together.

Hey everyone, I am currently working as a security analyst working for a company that provides pentesting as a service to its clients. I am getting paid 17lpa fixed salary. I earn 80-90k from freelancing every month pre taxes. So should I switch or not. It's been 3 years I am in this company and I can't see much growth now. I will be doing the same work. The work is full remote and the culture of company s also nice and workload is fine. What should I do? Should I look for a product based company but most of them call onsite. I want remote work only that is mandatory.

I am considering taking a 6-month break from my career. Currently, I have 2 years of experience in the IT sector. I would like to know if it is feasible to re-enter the IT industry after this break. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am a Frontend Developer with 3.5 years of experience, currently working remotely with a product-based client (product- BGV) through Eteam. The role offers great learning opportunities with the latest tech stack (React, Node.js), but it's a contract-based position on third-party payroll. Should I consider switching jobs, and if so, what CTC should I expect? Current CTC: 11 LPA

I work in one of Big 4 companies as a front-end developer. I am currently learning the backend as my project doesn't have any FE work. There are lots of politics now in my team as compared to the previous year, i was denied a well-deserved promotion for some weird reasons, and the hike was low too. Decided to do bare minimum work now and focus on studying for switch. Could anyone please help on how to get started on preparation for DSA and what other things to focus on to secure a product based company? YOE -6 Skills - PHP, React JS, JAVA. Have working experience on Automation testing as well.
