Need help on job switch from senior employees

Can anyone tell the basic difference between consultant and SDE

Analyst

Any one hiring for SDE ??

what all tech companies are hiring for 3+ years of experience right now, can you help with the referrals.
And how crucial is the tech stack, seems like most of the firms are java based and me having worked in python and django this seems like a blocker.

SDE2 backend hiring

Software Developer

I am an engineer, what I enjoy is solving technically challenging problems. I don't really want to spend my time bothering with non-code solutions to your business problem, and I don't care how much money my code makes you. Just have a tech lead give me a challenging tech problem to solve or build for(WITH the necessary requirements) and I'll get it done. Simple. 


Personally I'm saddened to see how chasing impact has taken over all good tech companies, and how you basically HAVE to create value and take ownership in other ways if you want to be SDE-3 or higher. I would rather be a more technically competent, deliverer SDE (think someone who's extremely good at being an SDE-1). Climbing the SDE ladder is boring.

Any other engineers find it boring and frustrating to chase impact?

To be fair, companies are paying you to earn money, not solve tech 
  
 You have to find things to simplify and innovate in that impact only

Hi everyone,

I have 10yrs experience in dev profile  and am looking to switch to non-technical(noncoding profile). 
What are the non technical profiles to grow for the next 10yrs in corporate(IT).
I have googled , found a Technical program manager and product manager as new profiles.
Whats all are your views on these 2 profiles in terms of growth as work and  remuneration both

Switch to non technical profile

What is the Tech Team Hierarchy Structure in your organisation? From SDE-1 to CTO? Curious about the structure of Unicorns (CRED, Zomato, Swiggy, Urban Company, Viacom18).

Tech Team Structure 🌟

I am working as a front-end developer in a startup for 2+ years and i want to switch to a different company.

The problem is I have only worked on the frontend in my current job though my designation is SDE in my offer letter. I don't have much knowledge about backend either.While applying for jobs the JD says i should have work experience in backend tech so in this case should I apply to those jobs or not.There are very few job openings for frontend and everyone is asking for full stack.

Will my interviewer asks questions for backend also though I have not worked on it? Or should I only focus on DSA.I have a good knowledge on frontend.

Should I just focus on frontend and DSA for my interviews? I am planning to Target FAANGM and good product start-ups

Experience - 2+

Tc - 9.5(8.5 + 1 bonus)

Are frontend devs not eligible to apply for SDE roles?

Is it possible to start a career as SDE after 9yrs of experience in System Administrator?

I have started learning Java. Will it be useful to land a job in software development. 

If yes, what will be the position SDE1 or it depends on the total experience, no matter what the previous work is?

How can I move from support to SDE?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I always come across these profiles and JDs which mention "Computer Scientist I/II" at Adobe. Are they real computer scientists? Do they invent things? Are they the ones working with NASA, MIT, STANFORD, Google Brain etc. 
I don't know if developing a framework qualifies you to call yourself a scientist. I don't know. Please shed some light.

Are computer scientist at Adobe real computer scientists?

Razorpay probably has the most overrated engineering culture from the outsider's perspective. Everytime on Twitter there's some npc telling how Razorpay is a dream place to work at or how Razorpay engineering is the holy grail.
From inside it's hilarious that someone could even think of those things. There's no learning path, especially in payments business unit for engineers who are forever stuck in ad hoc tasks. There's no long term plan, no roadmap, just PM and EMs shoving down and hocs.
Even in terms of learning from peers, there are so few charters where someone works with a lead, mostly it's just slogging it out alone in an ad hoc or some bug fix.
It's almost always an eternal cycle of never working in impactful projects -> never get assigned one, because there are so few -> get average reviews -> again being asked to work on "impactful projects".
 If anyone is under 3/4 yoe they should stay away from razorpay for their careers sake.

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

Hi Grapevine, 

I'm Arnav, Director of Engg at Jio Cinema. I previously exited my startup to Scaler. Some of you may know me from ScalerPod. I've also led engineering teams at Zomato & Target. 

Here to chat with you about my journey in startups, leading engineering teams, and products at scale, among other things.

Ask me your question. I'll be back at 8 pm and begin answering!

Intern

So I am currently a full stack engineer at a startup, now I have 3 offers 1 backend and 2 frontend. Currently I kinda like the full stack role that I am in but since I want more income I have to move out. The offer for frontend as well as backend are paying decently well and are very similar offers as far as comp is considered.

What do you think I should opt for, I am 2 years experienced. If I pick the frontend role right now, would I be able to move to full stack again or not?

How does it work in general

SDE role discussion

I am a fresher working in a fintech startup. I have been here for 2 months but all my work until have been basically upgrading node version and Python version and resolving some tickets in existing repos.

I talked to my manager about whether if the kind of work will change he said for 70% of the time. The work will this only and rewriting so e deprecated code.
Freshers in other teams got development work from day 1 itself. But for them also  they feel the work is kind of repetitive. Building scraper and integrating api again and again. There are some Exception.

Now I recently interviewed at Akamai and got a offer for sde 1. However here the team for which I interviewed was security team and here they say that the tech stack will mostly c/c++ and everything will be network heavy. Python and golang also may be used But most work is in c/c++. Also  the people who interviewed me were  system and security engineers.


Now my question is should I switch to akamai the compensation difference is 3lpa in base and akamai is wfh. Or should I stay here in the startup and try for a team change. (They say they allow you to change the team not sure how long they take).

My aim is to go into backend developer into big techs(not faang necessarily already interned there not as flashy as it looks from outside, i just dont to be in a startup bcoz they have no boundariesfor personal life). And whatever company I choose I plan to leave after 11 months as the work is not of my choice.

The tech stack at startup is python node js.

Which experience would look better on my resume. And If I join akamai will my profile transition into system side??
