Curiosity About Your Personal Growth and Projects

what are some projects or side hustles you have been working on besides your day job? I've been wanting to build some AI wrappers but can't find the time. is it possible to work on this on weekends/free time?

I'm in that "Imposter Syndrome" phase right now, need some motivation. Please tell me what new you are learning or building, anything personal/professional/time-pass.

I've recently started my journey with a product-based company as a fresher, where my primary focus revolves around backend development using Node.js. Although I thoroughly enjoy delving into backend architecture and databases, I find myself at a crossroads. Heard many discussions among seniors of the rise of Deno, Go, and Rust, suggesting a shift from JavaScript. In view of a long-term perspective, I am contemplating dedicating time to learning an additional technology and engaging in side projects. Could you kindly share your insights or recommendations based on your experience? Your guidance in this tech landscape would be greatly appreciated. #BackendExploration #TechInsights

Here’s mine, 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.

So I wanted to know what kind of things you do or personality you have after your working hours. Basically you could list down your hobbies or maybe skills you are trying to learn or anything else. Looking forward to some out of the box responses I'll go first, so I am currently focusing on my fitness, going to the gym and trying to correct my routine to wake up early. Also wanting to learn a musical instrument like a harmonica or a flute but still procrastinating on that one😂.

Hi everyone, I hope you're doing well 😊. I find myself in a challenging situation and could really use some guidance. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I’ve been unemployed for the past year, leading to a gap in my career. Before this, I accumulated 1 year of experience in web development, focusing on frontend development and software engineering. I'm now eager to get back on track and continue growing my skills and career 💪. I would appreciate any advice on how to best navigate this gap, or insights on what steps I should take to stand out to potential employers 💼. Additionally, if you or someone you know is looking for a passionate and dedicated frontend developer or software development engineer (SDE) 👨‍💻, I’d love to connect. Any leads or referrals would mean the world to me 🌍. Thank you so much for your support! 🙏 #JobSearch #FrontendDeveloper #SoftwareEngineering #CareerAdvice #Hiring

Want to discuss if sabbatical being a taboo is valid and peoples opinions of it. I will start with mine Background - 8 years in tech 3 company switches Sabbatical of 1 month, 3 month and 6 month between each break. Personal experience - quite enriching. Though there was panic and anxiety of not having a job during the period, it truly helped me take a step back, reassess my career trajectory, and mostly just Destress and re prioritise Every now and then i loose my true love for tech and product and the sabbaticals helped me to rediscover that by just reading about technology that was not outcome driven ( like for switching a job) Quite rewarding each time in terms of salary jumps also. I think i was able to make a better case for myself at a particular position just because i had more time to process stuff from last job. It also helped me make better decisions for next thing which has in general helped me shape my career better ( i think atleast) Open to anyone sharing their stories/perspectives related to sabbaticals

Hey I’m a final year grad at LSR, how do I get into IBD of JP Morgan, Deutsche, Nomura etc? Please can anyone help with guidance and referral?

I can't seem to relate to much of the non-FAANG junta out there. I mean I have a cushy job with probably 0.1% pay of all SWEs(pretty much like all of us do). But these cookie-cutter roles have been taking a mental toll on me. Like I am getting paid but I feel a little purpose-less. What am I gunning for in this life? All my life I wanted to go to a good college to get into a good company. In college I wanted to get a good codeforces rank so that I could get into FAANG. Now that I am in FAANG I have nothing to look forward to. Any of you all feeling this way? Because I don't see myself offer-shopping and feeling much happy about that either.
