Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hello, so I am a 26 year old, working in a BPO. Currently I am learning JavaScript and want to become a frontend developer. I don't have any degree and completed my 12th in 2016. Is it wise to pursue any degree for frontend developer job or learn programming and create some projects and is there any company in India who will provide job with only skills and without any degree?

Job for a frontend developer without any degree

Few days ago I was totally inspired to switch to web development domain. I am from electronics field so I have to read from scratch and my current work is from lowcode development. I did a research and found out how competative it is😓 and how complex it(work) becomes with time .If I go there It will be more++ hustle for life .Someone from webdev suggested me to go for testing .what are your opinions ?

Web dev

[TLDR: Should I start learning web3 stuff and ditch the Android path, please read my 3 questions below(at the bottom) to answer my doubts ]

I am currently a 2nd year student in 3rd semester, in my 1st year I explored a bunch of domains like web development, front-end stuff, cyber security like Metasploit, app development, cloud(Aws)

I decided to stick to app development and learned Flutter and in 4 months of learning and side-by-side project building I landed my first remote internship(India only) and it will end this coming November around the 10th or so, 

I have figured out I don't like the front end at all and now I don't see myself as an app dev because I don't enjoy working on this 

I am thinking of switching to web3 tech stack which has things like working on eth, and Solana blockchains etc., this field piques my interest on a philosophical level which is one my prime motivators for all the actions I take related to my career besides money

Here are my questions (senior people also please bestow me your wisdom) 

1) I learned Flutter which is relatively easy to other frameworks in 4 months and got an internship, is my speed good? I was a commerce student in school with basically no coding knowledge  before college and I have heard you need to adapt fast, do you think this is good enough or I should improve in this area

2) Should I start learning web3 and ditch the app dev path, I am thinking of committing to web3 for these 2 coming years because I will graduate in 2026, and my college has no placement, I have learned solidity for now.

3) If I stick to web3 for a few years and become proficient at it, will it affect the money in my career because by 2 years I will have huge family responsibilities

Web3 or App dev path, any wisdom will be appreciated

Long post ahead!!!


Its been around a year since I've started working in a service based company as a Frontend dev, WLB, compensation and all is good based on I've just started.
During this year of working I do not feel like I've done anything, our team is working on a product for past 2-3 year and its nearing the completion. My role was mostly to cordinate with testing team and solve frontend bugs and minor addition to the project (which was mostly copy pasting), even doing these minor task took me some time initially and I still have to take help from seniors time to time. 
I got kinda bored with all the repetitive task and I requested my manager to assign me to other development happening within team, he agreed and assigned me some different task but I cant seem to understand anything here, 
I get stuck in the most basic things, I feel stupid when I am not able to come up with easy solutions.

I am seeing other engineers learning new tech stacks in a small amount of time and getting hold of it while i am not able to understand things in my own tech stack.

I've recently gotten a appraisal as well(my company is quite good and gives it to everyone) and I feel like I don't deserve a bit of it.

 I am a 2023 graduate , I did MCA because that was the only good option I could see for myself(mostly cz of money) at that time earlier to that I did a bachelor's (Non CS) without gaining any knowledge of anything.
My basics are not that good, In college my only focus was to get a job so I did DSA and some front-end development using ReactJS(projects mostly code along with ytube) to be able to grab a good placement.

Is software engineering not for me? If no, then how do I overcome this, i don't wanna be a mediocre.

Am I a bad engineer?

I am originally from a small town and did my BSc in Computer Science. My relatives and neighbours used to say that I am a good for nothing freeloader who is a "nikamma" - unemployed. It was very hard to find a job back then and I used to have deep anxiety about it. My only dream was to get my fathers appreciation. He is my biggest hero. 

So I started preparing very hard and practiced my skills. The only one who supported me was my mother who used to give me tea even at 3 in the morning while I used to study. Even my own father gave up on me and from time to time he used to say that if you are living under my roof then you have to follow my rules. He also used to say that look at the neighbour's ladka who got a government job and he asked me to prepare for Bank PO.

So I moved out from my town and shifted to Gurgaon where I got a small PG with some money that my mother had given me. I also started freelancing on Fiverr and which led me to improve my communication skills. Finally, when I got my Google offer letter I felt like I made it. It was the best response to all the taunts by people around me. 

I suddenly became a superstar in my town with people congratulating my parents. I bought my mother gold bangles and dad a new watch with my first salary. I was looking at my offer letter today and it reminded me of all the hardwork I did to achieve this moment.

This is the story of my life. In case anyone needs help. I am ready to provide support to aspirants here as a way to give back.

Family said I am good for nothing but I finally I got an offer from Google

Software Engineer

Help me write  a reddit post explaining my concern:

Hi guys! I have done my gradutation in BE Computer Engineering (2023 batch)

Did not get a job on campus as i was on a long holiday trip for a few months during placements when most companies came.

I am from a covid batch ,spent 2.5 years of semesters at home (5 sems) and i didnt gain any skills during my whole engineering like trust me ( all i knew was syntax of html,c++ and python i even doubt if i knew this lol) 

My group members had made our final project ,ekdum complex ML project (mera usme daane bhar ka bhi contribution nahi tha)

So didnt find a job on campus... 

next phase:

Tried gaining some skills handson basic skills ( i did but literally nothing compared to what a engineer graduate should know,gained skills which people probably gain in first sem)

Next phase:

Couldnt find a job, Did this course called CDAC (Center for development of advanced computing) from pune ,it was almost a 6month long course ,learned full stack there with hands on( JAVA,SPRINGBOOT,REACT,SOME DEVOPS TOOLS, C#,.net) stuff like this.....

They too had  campus placements,found one job but too low pay (which was fine) but also was wayy far from my home (mumbai) and it was in hyderabad for 4lpa + 3 years of bond ,didnt go for it.

Was not allowed to sit for placements further as i rejected the offer.

next phase:

Spent 1.5 months at home,Didnt really apply for jobs(just one day lol)

Started prepping for GATE

Found out my sister's friend has a startup , a well known startup in the edtech area (around 10 years old) Quite a good startup ,good funds and self sustained ,they have kept a very small tech team like 30-40 max

So anyway i get a call , i send my resume, 1-2 weeks later I go down to their office ,they ask me how good and familiar i am with AI TOOLS ,first i thought they were asking about AI algos(like linear regression n all) but ya i told them I use chatgpt's 4o version

Unhealthy ChatGPT usage destroying my career in the long run?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I'm a Bcom grad with 2 years of experience as a US recruiter and around 1 year of experience as a customer service rep. I was into IT and tech stuff but I did not pursue anything at the time. Now I am very interested in changing my career paths to anything in the fields of IT but idk what interests me in specific all I know is I am not very fond of the coding side of IT. So can you please suggest what courses/certifications would help me secure a job?

How do I switch my career to IT?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hey folks, i hope you all are doing well!

I have around 6 yrs of experience now including 6 months of internship in Enterprise Support role for Kubernetes product in a big Product based MNC.

I have been in the same company for 5.5 years post my internship, within these 5.5 years I switched to our cloud services team like a DevOps role 2 years back. 

My role is a Senior Software Engineer but I am not coding much rather its mix of both Operations and Coding sometimes, because of which my development knowledge is rusty and also my DSA too. But I have been able to get things done which are necessary as a part of my daily job. Be it feature development, releases, operations and troubleshooting customer environments. So performance wise I’m doing well I believe. And I’m getting below package.

So I got hikes also the package I’m getting is around (35 LPA Fixed + 5 Lacs bonus) have stocks around 10 lacs(just 2.5 lacs per year) 

Now the main point is even though I’m earning sone money 

1] I’m not learning much from the software development perspective and I think work wise I don’t have much experience in pure development, so now I’m stuck how can I make a move to a good unicorn startup as a SDE/SRE? Please suggest any ideas to make such a move.

2] I strongly believe that I’m earning less than what I should be earning after spending 6 yrs in IT. Nowadays 3-4 So now I’m thinking of switching to a different company but again the point [1] comes in my way.

3] How much minimum amount of I should be earning as a base salary, bonus and stocks in a big product MNC or a Bangalore startup ? 

Looking for advices to learn and which way should I be taking to learn more and get a job where I’ll be doing proper Dev work, please advice on the way to take to do this transition.

Thank you!

I am a 2019 graduate. I worked in a non-tech field for some time then I decided to switch into a IT sector, for that I decided to first learn the basic skills needed so I joined a company who teaches all the skills to get industry ready. 
I learned Html, css, JavaScript, Bootstrap, Python, sqlite and still learning react & node. 
But now there is a good gap in between due to some personal reasons & my non-It experience will not count and I will be treated as a Fresher only. It's 2024, I am searching for a good start. 
what should I do now? How to start my career. There is a marriage pressure from the family which is Turing into a big stress now but I wanted to be independent first. Please help me, I seriously need your help. 
If there is any company who is hiring Freshers for FRONT-END DEVELOPERS, FULL STACK(MERN), SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS position, please let me know. Or if anyone can guide me what to do, I will always be grateful 🙏🏼

Please Help, I really need your advice 🙏🏼

Hey guys, I am an arts graduate from 2019. I have successfully wasted 4 years since now doing govt exams and other competitive exams. Now since the last 1.5 years I have been doing, front-end development, mainly self taught. Made some projects as well. The complexity of those projects are not super basic either. But now when I started applying for a job, things are getting clearer, that this market doesn't have a job for me. I came into this field, because when I am still figuring out what to do, this field feels really really good and interesting. I still have the passion for it and will continue to have it. Even if not in the shape of a job, I will continue learning and build an actual product. But now it's the peak age, to EARN. So, I need suggestions from you guys, that if I have any chance in this field or I should quit this field and started applying for any jobs I get to start earning asap.

Should I continue in this field?

Hi i am b.E electrical batch, had a lot(15+) arrears. Spent 2.5 years in trying to complete. Some papers cleared(corona didn't help much).Now i don't want to waste anymore time, as i already wasted many years. I gave my max effort but didn't help.

Most of the industrial jobs require a degree or diploma in specific field. I don't have one. Spending some time in internet searching about jobs. Many iT companies(zoho upon my searching) doesn't see degree as an measurement(?). 

Now should i try to learn coding or design? 
Coding requires logical thinking and i may not be a bright person for that given my history.

Can i try ui/ux designing. Is it a stable and future proof steam? Pay is similar to what software engineers got in placements. But as I am an non degree person it may be smaller. 

Thanks

So I have completed my B.tech. Now I have to look for Jobs. During the time I was in college(last year), I was Learning MERN stack but it has not been completed yet. Now in online forums, I have heard that MERN stack is getting saturated, and entering it is not good. So what is your opinion? Also is it wise to take some time, I mean like some months (6 or 8 months) to self-learn and land a Job after that? And should I learn on my own or go to some training institute? Can anyone Help me, I need guidance.

Is learning MERN still good in 2024

I am unemployed since 1 year,did not do anything for 1 year coz of some reason , earlier I was in QA but now want to get into development. Already 1 year is gone which is big enough career gap and I am panicking. Now I am not able to understand whether I should join any software development course like Crio or shall I join any Data science/ML course. Whatever I have to do it will take 6 months more , but I guess I have no choice. I know basic nodejs and all but no knowledge of Data science however DS will be more in demand in future so that is why I am thinking about that. But I am not sure which one shall I take ?

I just wanted to know from folks that can anyone learn Data science in 6 months good enough to get a job or shall I opt for software development course. Also , if I shall go for data science course , please suggest me some good training institute for it.
