Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am 2+ years experienced Software engineer working/worked on Java, Springboot, postgresql, couchbase, elastic search. I wonder what is career growth when people talk about it.

It is really subjective, for some joining Google is growth, earning high salary is growth, getting promoted is growth etc. 

Really, neither of them is making me feel excited? Where am I🥲

Brand marketing manager

I have been working for 6 years in serviced based company,  I was in support role for 3 years and then switched to .net development and currently  have 3 years ..my managers without looking  into my interest  are asking me move in other skill.Why are our career growths stunted and even with all efforts we put all these years , no one cares to communicate  or give proper feedbacks.

Anyone  can guide here for career coaches I can look for, as I want to analyse my strengths and specialise.

Career growth  as an IT professional  in serviced based company

I have been working with Infosys for past 5years(total exp) and my current salary is 20LPA CTC. I work on Apple projects and the work has become repetitive over the last three years, primarily focusing on Java, Spring, Microservices, and Elasticsearch. I really want to join a product company now, for better compensation and more engaging work, but I’m uncertain how to proceed. 
I’ve just been writing APIs and scheduled jobs, and at this point I think I know nothing beyond it. The thought of facing the interview processes of tech giants for senior roles is daunting.  
Where should I start from? How do I regain my competence?

How do I get out of my career stagnancy? HELP

I completed my bachelor's in Psychology and have good practical application of psychological skills. I was always intrested in UI/UX since middle-high school but didn't know about its existence. Now since its mainstream I was thinking of getting into it, my aim is to make designs that are good, follow some reliable rules yet have creative applications applied to make it unique and use cognitive psychology to make it a pleasurable and human centric experience.

When it comes to payments, career growth and placements what is your experience ? Is it good and justified, is the growth scope good ?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I know Grapevine is full of young and ambitious people that either planning to get into Product or are already working as a PM. I don’t aim to discourage any of you. Moreover, if you need tips to break into Product I would be happy to help you.

I personally feel that knowing what you are doing is going to doom is better than normalizing it.

So I will convey my experience in simple words, how I hated every single day of it, why did I still stick around for 4 years, why product decisions are random political bullshit, why you should not let anything that happens get under your skin and affect your morale. Finally, few words for sociopathic Head of Products.

Lesson #1: Go through all stages of grief at once. Accept that product culture is broken and accept that it will not get better. Finally, you can’t fix it or improve it.

Lesson #2: Ratings are political bullshit. 
I can tell you the years I was rated worse I was probably working harder and better at my job. It just depends on the results you get in the last month before ratings and whether your DOP is vocal for you.

Lesson #3: Last piece of advice: do not let your Product years lower your self esteem or sense of self worth.

Also, some words for sociopathic Head of Products. F’ you.

You Must Get Out - My Experience of 4 Years In Product

Product Manager

I have been at a company since 2.6 yrs as a founding engineer (joined here as a fresher). I am a graduate from IIT Delhi. I am paid well (50 LPA cash + decent stocks). The work culture of where I am is pretty amazing (5-6 hrs work, 5 days a week), WFH. 
Since I joined when the company was growing, I am  well respected. I would also go in length to say that  I don't expect the culture to be this good anywhere else. However it has been pretty boring lately, the work is very monotonous ( I am a backend engineer with pretty decent technical skills). I think I have little opportunity to grow here. 
What should I do ? 

PS: I got interview calls from various startups but most of them are just matching my salary but after doing some research I see that they are demanding lots of work (12 hrs, sometimes weekends included)

Suggestions for job change

Started off my career in 2011 as System Administrator at 5000 INR. 
By the time I left it in 2012, I had reached 10000INR.
Moved to a metro city and started working for a client based MNC at 3L per Annum.
After working for 2yrs I had reached at 3.3L INR per annum.
Switched job to another city at 9L per annum.
I joined as Senior position. Since then I am working at same place and same team. I have grown from Senior position to Managerial position. Salary grew from 9L to 56L INR.
I would like to know from your folks, is it a good growth?

Appraisal Season '24: What was your last salary and what is your current salary?

Hey everyone, I hope you guys are doing awesome.
Here is a small intro, I graduated with IT degree in 2022. Same year I was fortunate enough to crack Google Summer of Code. The next year I appear as a GSoC mentor. After that I took a project from my organization on contract basis. I've been contributing to opensource for about 2.5 years now and I hold a decent position in my org.
Things were not great money wise so I was hunting for a fultime job, after 3 months of continue hustle my resume got shortlisted and I got selected. We initially agreed upon 14 LPA but when offer letter arrived I was offered 7 LPA. I was desperate and was in need of money due to family problems.
I truly think I deserve more, within 3 months I have become release manager and I handle the release. I was able to understand the code base and started contributing. I am involved in few tasks and I am able to deliver things.

One thing I must say is that, people are very very supportive. All of them helps me out at every point of time. My personal growth is just going great. Money is the factor that I think is nagging me.

I would love to hear your thoughts. I appreciate every opinion you guys have.
Thanks

Need suggestion, confused about my growth🤕

What according to you is growth? 
I work as a backend developer (fresher) and my manager expects me to complete tasks on time. 
Though tasks are pretty random and I don't learn much from them. 
So I am curious to know what ideal growth looks like?

What do you consider as growth?

Backend engineer

What should I am for?
- A well named startup or company at slightly lower pay?

- A high payed salary from the startup or a company that no one ever heared of...

Example:
Currently I am making 12 LPA as a marketer.
But I am worried about my future as I am finding it tougher to get hired for salary anything above than this. 

How about working at a fancy startup? (meesho, sugar, CRED, etc.) at a lower pay like 10 LPA - will it secure my future? As people prefer to hire ex-employee from these fancy startups. 

Or should I be searching for a 15 LPA or 20 LPA job but from a company or startup that no one ever heard about, adding no value to my CV while working there

What should I choose?

Am I being overpaid?
I am a backend engineer with 7 years of experience. I've been rejected by multiple organizations during salary discussions. They mentioned they can't provide such a high salary. Are my expectations inaccurate?

Current CTC: 45 LPA
Expected CTC: 54 LPA
Designation: Team Lead, Backend

Salary Reflections: Am I Overpaid?

Team lead

I am a fresher and recently joined the project and am working on a IBM IIB technology which uses esql language and as a developer I joined? I don't know how the market for this technology and how I can see growth in technology and how much hike I can expect when I switch, Right now I have 6 months of experience in the project.

Growth in the technology

Hi People,I have been working as a springboot developer for a year now. Looking for insights from experienced individuals here.
 
What are the possible paths for someone like me to try out. I see I can learn devops or  javascript frameworks and become a full stack developer.
What are some other possibilities?
 
Thanks
