What is expected from a 3YOE Engineer?- Grapevine

Hey Everyone,

I am a 3YoE backend developer with little AI role and web development experience in the industry and I wanted to grow my career as more like an ✨Elite Engineer✨ who not just builds stuff but optimizes it to the core, oversees the future bottlenecks, the alternative approaches blah blah and you get the point. But the problem is that my learning is all over places. Please suggest/ guide you to be that ✨Elite Engineer✨ if you can. I want to continue to be a backend engineer (no more switching domain)

Disclaimer: I don’t want to do it because of the money (of course I need a future) but to have a solid understanding of it (it would be great if I end up as SDE)

Elite Devs, plz help!?🙂

Expectations from a Software Engineer, Full Stack

What do u think the career trajectory will be for Native Mobile developers after 4-5 Years of experience? ( Android/Ios) 

Personally I think there are less senior/staff roles in india unless we pivot to BE or people roles we will not have an uptrend in our career. 

And what do u think about Hybrid frameworks ( like RN and Flutter) ? should we adopt them ASAP ? or not required to grow in the career ladder ? 

( Please add YOE while answering It helps to see how early devs vs Exp devs think )

Native Mobile developers - need ur thoughts.

and are thus often rejected before interview itself?

Hey everyone, I'd like to hear your thoughts. Have any of you successfully aced an interview solely through tutorials, YouTube, or side projects without hands-on work experience? 
I am a SDET exploring a transition to SDE role, internally tried within my company ,not happening due to various reasons, hence trying to switch over. In order to achieve that, I've worked on full-stack sidd projects, practiced DSA, and made a good "tailored" CV that gets me interview calls. But I am currently facing mixed experiences in interviews. I am able to answer a few but struggle with some questions and seek advice on how to improve. Any suggestions for this career switch are greatly appreciated! Thanks a ton

Embedded Engineer

Swiggy has become a toxic Ex for me now and there is no time to think about it at this point (for me atleast)
I need to get back on my feet soon (sole earner in my family) and need some help. 

It has been a really long time since I prepared and stepped out there, so need some help in knowing what's going on out there. It would be great if someone can help with these:
1. Any interview resources I can start with
2. What all things I need/should prepare for
3. Any tips and tricks for the interview preparation

I think it will be a lot of help for me and others too who are in the same boat.
I was an SDE2 here and thinking of stepping up to SDE3 as well but right now even an SDE2 role would suffice. So will prepare accordingly

Expectations from 2 YOE Full Stack Dev

Web Developer

What can i expect ?
Is asking 18+LPA considered inrealistic ?

What's the current market avg salary for a DevOps Engineer with 3+ YOE

I am a DevOps Engineer in a series C funded startup.
My current compensation is 40LPA, which included 38LPA fixed, and 2LPA performance bonus.
I want to understand what my realistic expectations should be if I look out for another job.
I am open to all types of companies, be it a MNC or a well established startup.
I can be wrong by a huge margin, but I was expecting somewhere around 75LPA CTC with 70LPA fixed, given the fact that my promotion is due this upcoming December and I am expecting atleast 20% hike on my current CTC and in hand compensation.
What are your thoughts on this.
And if possible, can you guys also tell me what I should be prepared for if I get an interview opportunity for a senior level DevOps Engineer.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Ask me anything except my company name, or things that can reveal my identity. I may respectfully choose not to respond to your question based on my own judgement.

Here’s a brief intro about me: I’ve worked as both software engineering manager & software technical architect over the last 18+ years on various tech stacks managing backend, frontend and a little bit of cloud. I have seen ups and downs in the software industry. Currently I’m working as a senior architect in one of the product based companies in India.

I’ve been an Engineering Manager before. Ask me anything.

Software Architect

Can anyone share the list of companies which are actively recruiting and requirements for an entry level ML engineer?

ML Engineer

I see people switching jobs left and right but I am not able to land an interview only. I have a 3 YOE in good tech stack. Not sure where am I missing.

No interview calls

I started my professional career with my current organisation 3 years ago.

I'm considered as an technical expert on terraform, IAAC, AWS serverless within the organisation.

I've extensive working experience in Python, various AWS services, GitHub pipelines and have high degree of confidence in my ability of this tech stack.

Also I've recently contributed to architecture of multi tenant GCP infrastructure project while developing whole terraform stack and contributing some part to ansible playbooks.


Apart from above mentioned technologies I've experience in Jenkins, Java, Kubernetes, Docker etc.

I've been top performing with Always Outstanding Quarterlyrating for all quarters. 

I'm expecting to get an increment in July with CTC increasing to 16 LPA along with promotion to Associate Solution Architect role this year.

But I'm bored with current work, it's a service org, no long term ownership of the work. Also feel that I can get more compensation if I switch.


Want to know perspective from people with more experience as if happens this will be my first switch.

Is 24 LPA a correct expectation for a 3 YOE Platform Engineer

Hi everyone,

I’m a DevOps engineer with 3 years of hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, and automation tools. I have worked extensively with Kubernetes, AWS, Jenkins, GitLab, and Docker, and have a strong background in optimizing cloud costs and managing microservices.

I’m currently looking for new opportunities to bring my expertise to a dynamic and innovative team. If you know of any openings or have leads, I’d love to connect!

Feel free to reach out or DM me directly.

Thank you in advance!
