For a project, I had to find out the amount of material supplied through a conveyer pipe. And only problem was my sensor will give instantaneous weight on pipe every 2 seconds.

I had implemented Integration/Calculus to find the answer. Never felt this good to apply my 12 std calculus knowledge.

Why AMA?-
New to GV. I see potential here; trying to gauge audience and perhaps I can talk about a thing or two; can definitely learn from ya’al otherwise.

Primer Qs (from some successful AMAs outside of GV)-
What tech has better future?
Is Ai going to kill our jobs?
How to increase Tc 5x, 10x, 20x+?
Startups vs big corps?

Software Developer

Hi guys, I am working at an MNC as a front end developer. I am going to complete 4 years soon here which is no less than a nightmare.

I should have switched so long ago but I am still stuck here.  And it's wfh, so I have been feeling so depressed lately having no professional life. 

I gave some interviews last year but couldn't clear and have been feeling demotivated since then.

Please help!!

Feeling lost in life

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I always had hard time meeting new people. I don't like the idea of dating apps to meet people, we should have an app/platform for offline events, you can see the profile of people who are attending, price should not be exorbitantly high.

Luma is trying to create something but most of the events are private.

What is one project/problem that you always wanted to solve but never got chance to work on it?

For me it would be Octalysis. I feel it's really useful if you're building in B2C / Consumer space. 

ps: pls mention framework you truly like, and not something that you learnt for interview.

Gamification Design, With 8 Principal: Epic Meaning ,Accomplishment, Empowerment of Creativity, Ownership, Social Influence, Scarcity, Unpredictability & Loss.

The Octalysis Framework for Gamification & Behavioral Design

What is one product framework you wish more people knew about?

I was recently scrolling through linkedin as a regular day to find 
my daily dose of  depression

And Suddenly I saw a profile of x Person who started his engineering in July 2023 has 500+ LC Problems solved a CI/CD pipeline set up project and What not

I was so shocked to see at what level the competition has raised a first year guy who has just entered the stream has started all this 
I am a graduate and barely knew all this back then 

This X person has 4 starts in CodeChef and Some ratings in CF

If this person and I are competing for the same job 
I felt I will be trashed to bins 

And I see the Leetcode guys 500 Solved Rating this that just in 1st and 2nd year of college

I was terrified and impressed at the same time 

Are these next generation too impulsive to over skill them for a job ? 

What are your thoughts?

Does LeetCoders Give you FOMO

what are the various problems you have faced during the interviews you have given till now, which you believe could be solved.

e.g. for me it's about repeating the same things about my experience to every single recruiter, not getting any response, sharing CTC (current & expected)

Problems faced during the interview process.

Senior Software Engineer

If absolutely all software engineers obsess over business metrics rather than technology it would be net-net great outcome for the ecosystem as well for the individual economically, socially.

I find it childish when a CTO/Architect/Principal engineer obsess over code & infra architecture, low level/high level design, scalability.

Outcome:
---
I want engineers at all seniority levels and all disciplines must only care about biz metrics. Product management should cease to exist. 

Everything tech will fall into place. 

If you were the product manager of the "bangalore", how would you approach this?

One approach i thought -
---
To get into Bangalore tech ecosystem you must need a certification from a institution (For ex: Tech School), absolutely mandatory from this school irrespective of your college background. 

This tech school will allow everyone to enter, online lectures, teach customer empathy, research, industry standard tech, product management, design. Aim is to set correct mindset for growth and first principle thinking. 

This will make college background irrelevant.

Care deeply about any work that you touch, give your best and more.

The effort really shows, especially when you can solve something better than what they hoped for.

Contradictory to your lesson… I learned not to get too attached to your code. Bcoz it might just get scraped.

Hi,

I have been working in the Software Industry for the past 9 years. I feel like I have made a good use of my time and money and maybe some of my lessons can help you folks as well. Recently did a calculation for my NW and I am happy and proud to see my NW crossing 2CR+. I have 0 debt and do not own a house. Here is how my portfolio look like

TC: 1.3 Cr
YOE: 9

I am happy to do an AMA. Ask me anything about tech, career, love, marriage, money management, therapy, songs and movies.
#Ask Me Anything #ama #amazon #atlassian #google #startups #bengaluru #networth #money management #finance #india

Sorry if delay in responses, I'll answer all your questions eventually.

[AMA] 9 years in Software Engineering in India. NW 2.5Cr

I see a lot of similar questions and I'll try to answer them here.

>>>>>>CTC Progression<<<<

My current CTC is 1.3CR . 50% is cash, 50% is stocks.

Here is my CTC progression over the years

1st - 12L
2nd - 12L (Switched Companies)
3rd - 15L 
4th - 24L (Switched companies)
5th - 42L (Switched Companies)
6th - 48L
7th - 66L
8th - 72L
9th - 1.3Cr (Switched Companies)

As you can see I almost everytimg doubled my compensation when I switched my companies. But there are reasons to stay at a company as well. If you are learning and are able to handle different problems at scale, stay. When you feel stuck, leave and look for better opportunities. I have never switched job to get more money. I love CS. I have been coding since 15 years. What made me switch was either bad managers, uninteresting problems not visibility of learning and growth.

Hey fellow SWE. I am a fresher in tech and would love to know about how you people deal with imposter syndrome. Every software engineer has to go through their career journey. When u will be assigned some work that u have no idea about how to implement. And your manager will be on your ass to ask you for an ETA. How do you all deal with such discomforting feelings?

Trying to get into Data science

Machine Learning Engineer

Hello guys, I did alot of DSA in my college time (Tier 3 college), I got the highest marks in my DSA sem exams in my class and my professor was impressed with me, I gave leetcode contests, learned DSA from YT and so on. 

I got placed in a decent company with a 7.5 LPA package (while my best friend, who hardly knew DSA got a SDET role in a startup with 40 LPA), now after 2 years my pacakge is 10 LPA, I want to switch to a better company with good pay, I restarted practising DSA again but everytime I get stuck in some question and not able to solve it, it feels like I am wasting my time.

While in my job, I learned Angular, TypeScript and frontend dev (which interests me more than DSA, but I am too lazy to make my own side projects)

what should I do? should I stick on to DSA even though sometimes I just feel like I am wasting my time solving some random question which doesn’t justify anything about me? or beat my laziness and make some side projects with the frontend skills that I have?

any advice would help me. Thanks in advance.

I feel lost

I'm a 4th year student from a pvt college. Did 3 internships, one in a decacorn, one in a unicorn. Have an offer from Amazon for SDE 1 when i graduate, and one from the company I'm working at right now. Reached so far only with development skills, projects, hackathon wins and OSS contributions.

My leetcoding and competitive coding skills are downright garbage. I have absolutely no motivation to become a leetcode monkey and get more offers, but given the current market scenario, seems hard to get good offers without mugging up  800 leetcode questions.

Folks in software engineering who made it with leetcode, how did you do it, and what did you do to kill that builder urge and mug up leetcode. I can't do this anymore.
