Can somebody suggest what is good to add on with C++ language and how to get updated with latest coding standards?

Software Developer

Hello Guys, 
I graduated in 2022 and joined my current company (an Indian MNC) where I currently work as an SDE 2 with total CTC of 17LPA (Base 14). I recently completed 2 years in this company. For the first 6 months I was in training, so I have been in my team since last 1.5 years.
The tech stack we use is C++. So for the last 1.5 years I have just been working on C++. We don't use a lot of libraries and have everything developed in house. Memory management, Threads, Data Structures - all are implemented by various teams and are being used. So while I have worked on C++, a lot of it has been using internal libraries. I have mostly worked on implementing some functionality that uses OS calls (Windows and Linux), and some PoCs.

Since I completed 2 years, I was just thinking of my future and I started getting worried. I regret that I wasted a lot of time and right now I don't know what to do. While I have started doing DSA again ,I am very unclear and confused about how to make a job switch, what skills to learn and how to grow.  I'm feeling very low and hopeless. Any guidance will be very helpful.

Very concerned about my future, need your help

Is it good to switch within organisations to gain knowledge or try outside for a new job?

Ideas pls

Switching programming language after 8 years experience

I am currently in a company with 8.55 lpa ctc ( just graduated this year btech cse) . We do python databricks also sql server and IICS .( basically data engineering ) . I don't want to do data engineering. I want to learn something else which is exciting and will give me more pay . So now I am learning Golang but stackoverflow survey says that zig language pays the highest ( quite strange ) . So I want to ask Industry experts what is the hot tech right now , what should I learn which is interesting as well as pays more ?

Which technology/programming language should I learn next

2.5 years experienced into production support, thinking to transition into a demanding future proof technology. Which one is best ?

Suggest a good technology to transition into

Honestly, I only work with excel and some other small tools for performance engineering in Mainframe. 

I wanna switch to a new tech within 6 months. Any suggestions. It's urgent ,please post your thoughts.

Hi everyone,
I did DSA in c++ and I work in java springboot. So can I do coding in c++ not in java. Is there any problem will arise if I want to switch company and in interview if interviewer asked to code in java.Have you faced similar problem 
Please share your thought.

Need suggestions

For the past 1.5 yrs, I have been working for a legacy product and hence didn't learn any new technologies. This job was right out of college and hence I didn't pick this. Entire takeaway from 1.5 yrs was 
1.  Simple Java(version 8) code (no frameworks)
2. SVN for version control
3. Dealt with millions of lines of code and hundreds of services in one single file. 

No new technologies, no cloud, no databases. 

But I am very confident and fluent in Data Structures and Algorithms ( Masters in Theory CS from top IIT). What shall I learn next to keep up with the IT industry? I don't have any particular interest towards say DevOps, BigData. I just like to solve problems.  Please advice.

Want to upgrade myself

I entered the workforce in 2021 and have been working on a not-so-in-demand technology called pl/sql and that too on a niche implementation. I've been trying very hard to shift to other companies to no avail.
If I take up something else to master, to be honest, everybody is asking for professional experience - so is it really worth it?

I have done a couple of projects but nobody's noticing wherever I apply - for example: a few data engineer projects on aws, airflow, kafka, etc. So I thought I should start applying for non tech roles like business analyst, APM, UX, etc with some hackathon experiences and sql work on my job. I learnt figma, balsamiq, etc. made some mockups and HLDs. Did 100s of courses and got certifications - no use.
Then I thought I should get into core programming, so I learnt python (even tried solidity for some time) and did a few projects on python albeit beginner level.
Then I thought since I've got a little bit of exposure in python let's do some data analytics. Did a few projects on power BI and tableau and lots of related courses. 
Out of frustration I told manager that I want to do something else, he was kind enough to refer me into an internal company initiative, but it does nothing unfortunately.
My friends said resign and fake your experience (which I was fearful of) so I put my naukri joining to available immediately and still didn't get a single call. 
Then tried some linkedin optimization stuff. Asked for 100s of referrals in many many companies. Nothing worked out.

So, now I want suggestions from the top tier, creme-de-la-creme of Indian workforce and want to know what do they have to say about it.

Tips to shift career paths.

I am a C++ dev with around 2 yoe. I want to switch to a different tech stack as I feel I'm lagging behind and if I don't switch now it'll be too to change my tech stack. But the problem is recruiters are literally saying we can't go ahead with the interviews because the stack doesn't align even though i cleared the coding rounds.
I'm not sure what to do now. Its not my fault that i got stamped to a C++ team straight out of college. Please help me out on how I can follow up with this shit.

Switch from C++ Dev to Java

Thinking of picking up a new language to learn this weekend, I know C++/Python/Java. Which one should I pick up?

Which language should I start learning next?

Growth Manager

Hi folks
 As a new year resolution,  I want to be interview ready at the start of this year ( say by Feb end). As far as my professional experience goes, I have worked on .NET/ C# for the last 3 years. It's been a while since I have done leetcode/DSA so I'll be starting from scratch. 
My doubt is do I choose Java as a language for coding, where my knowledge is rudimentary at best and I'll need some ramp up time. Or is it okay to go with C#, which I am already good at since I work on it daily. Will choosing C# hamper me in coding rounds or interviews or resume shortlisting ? How important is this choice ?

Personally I am inclined towards c#, as that will allow me to start coding right away without syntactic hassle, but I would really appreciate if experienced folks here can give their 2 cents. I don't want to spend too much time dwelling on this and break the momentum at the start itself

I am of course open to learning new frameworks /languages if required in the new job. No such restrictions as such.

Kickstarting my interview prep

Enough of these salary/layoff posts. 
Regardless of your skill/experience/industry/background/market conditions - if you wanted to learn a new tech stack - what is it and why? 
Don't give answers like this or that pays better. looking for answers from people who genuinely love solving problems. Crazy infeasible answers eg Haskell+flutter also welcome.  
Just trying to see how far dreamers go.

What is your dream tech stack?

I'm a b sc graduate. I'm currently working in a company for 2.52LPA. In- hand is literally 17.2k. I completed two years in Feb 2024. Now I have 2 YOE but no proper skill, with no proper working experience. I going nowhere staying here in the current company.
Should I resign now and upskill or Should I upskill,get another offer and then resign. 
Please pour your suggestions.
Also, please tell which technology can I pick and start learning. I strongly feel like it's now or never.

Need your suggestions

Systems architect

So I resumed practicing DSA recently. I mainly use C++ for this purpose. Few days back I saw a post which was kind of a roadmap and the first bullet point there was to get thorough with the language. I kind of agree with this and at some point I was meaning to understand c++ better, few level deeper. So thinking of taking a pivot for this purpose. 

So c++ veterans of grapevine, need your recommendations for this. Open to books and video tutorial both. Not looking for syntax learning and all but how c++ works under the hood. I maybe drawing an inappropriate parallel with this but something like namaste javascript by Akshay sahni or you don't know js kind of material. I did started with gfg c++ blogs but that material  feels unstructured and a bit less intuitive. 

Grateful to you all in advance.
