What should I do

It's been around 8 months as a Frontend developer working at a Startup. My senior is very fast at coding so he is saying that you should think about that you are made for development or not. I am feeling very demotivated. What should I do now?

I am looking for an internship in web development or SWE profile where I can learn something and gain some experience but my resume is not that good or you could say mediocre, i only know basics of most of the skills in my resume. So, can someone suggest something which can be helpful for me?

Hi folks, I am a fronted developer with 5+ years of experience in TCS. I am doing well in my previous project but that is complete then I joined another project where I am struggling to do a smaller job as well. I am not sure what's going to happen to me every time I am the only person who always points out even if I make that mistake or not. Even though nothing motivated me, day by day my performance was going down I am feeling tired from this same time I am thinking about leaving the project and searching for something new but they are not releasing me. Due to this I visit the doctor and he says you are in depression and suggest some pills. Nothing motivates me here. Can anyone suggest to me what I do now.

Let's talk about being highly underpaid. It's a reality many of us face, yet it's often shrouded in silence. Whether you're in a corporate job, a creative field, or any profession, feeling undervalued and underpaid can be demoralizing and unjust. It's not just about the numbers on our paycheck; it's about the recognition of our worth, our skills, and our contributions. Too often, we find ourselves in situations where our hard work and dedication are not adequately compensated. We put in long hours, go above and beyond our job descriptions, and yet, when it comes time to discuss salaries, we're met with excuses or paltry raises that barely keep pace with inflation. It's a cycle that perpetuates feelings of frustration, resentment, and even imposter syndrome. But here's the thing: We don't have to accept being undervalued. We can speak up, advocate for ourselves, and demand fair compensation for our efforts. It might be uncomfortable, and it might require us to challenge the status quo, but it's essential for our well-being and the integrity of our professions. Employers need to recognize the importance of fairly compensating their employees. It's not just about the bottom line; it's about fostering a culture of respect, appreciation, and mutual benefit. When employees feel valued and adequately compensated, they're more engaged, productive, and loyal. So, if you're feeling highly underpaid, know that you're not alone. It's a widespread issue that deserves attention and action. Whether it's through salary negotiations, seeking out better opportunities, or advocating for change within our organizations, let's stand together and demand the compensation we deserve. Because when we value ourselves, others will too.

I used to get carried away by the random yt videos of people sharing day in the life videos doing absolutely nothing. And on top of that, most of them had videos where they got a job after 6-8 months of bootcamp. Now, after struggling to find a full time job after graduating with multiple internship experience, getting a backend role with the condition of "one month internship and full time offer only if you can pick up backend and build features". I realise there is no golden ticket. I must work hard, atleast in the initial career and build hard tech skills. I see a lot of my peers struggling and they still think just being a React engineer will help them get a gig in this shitty market. I feel seniors(on social media) should tell the truth, that it's not easy it's very boring and shitty but if you sit long enough you will start getting it, and the next day or the next feature it's all the same happening again

I cracked an internship 7months ago and currently working as part-time employee as frontend developer in that company. I want to get into fullstack or backend but can't leave a company because they are paying well and their backend stack way different + they are in need of frontend developer. I'm at the early stage of my career & I believe I should to explore, but I think no company will pay me well as this does, so I prioritize money or explore backend? would like know your views on this. thanks

Last September I was hired as an UI Engineer in a startup in Gujurat. This is my first job in tech. They said that you will get to work on client as well as in-house products. My first task was to fix their in-house product, so that they can re-launch it. Successfully did that. Then they started searching for client works. And till now (March) they have given 4 client jobs to work on, none of it was related to Frontend or UI. One was related to AI, another one was related to a Node Backend, and the current one is related to 3D technology. So what should I do now, it almost feels like a scam. Leaving a company in 4 months doesn't feel right but I can't see any learning or improvement here in my domain. And the worst part is this jobs are brought by my CTO fooling the client that the developer who is going to work on this had 10+ years of experience.
