Lessons over career span

I have 12 years of experience in IT industry and I have been only with 3 firms so far. Primary reason for job change has always been relocation as my personal life changed during these times. I have always been a top performer since the very beginning and I have been a manager too. But now I start loosing interest and I want to know what options do I have if I don’t want to scale up the ladder anymore. I just want to continue to remain in work to support my family but at the same time I don’t want to feel pressured to grow in career. I feel IT is not a place to retire but I don’t know what other options exist. All the technologies that I worked so hard for are almost becoming obsolete and I’m at a point where I don’t know what to do. Finding job scares me just as much as staying in the current one. Is anyone experienced beyond 15 years and are yet just Sr. Consultants or managers and what are your thoughts?

Context: I am 22 years old with a BBA degree from a tier 1 college. After college, worked as intern with a few online marketing startups for around 4-5 months, Post that joined a fintech company as an intern setting up a new vertical that they're building( part of first few hires). I've worked here for around 6 months as an intern and now that my internship is coming to an end I've been told that full time conversion is off the table but they'll gladly extend my internship period. Reason: performace not good enough. I feel purely from an opportunity standpoint continuing here would be great for me as there's a lot of scope for learning and growth however what makes me anxious is the fact that this wouldn't reflect well in my CV and hence would probably be a potential bottleneck in the future wrt higher education or switching companies for that matter.

I am aged 30 ,UM ,Male , have been working in IT for close to 9 years now . But I never had an option to quit this job due to my family financial situations. Now I saved enough money for my parents. I want to switch my career to Semiconductors technology (Chip designing, Physical design etc ). I don’t have any prior experience or not even workshops experience in that field but I always wanted to be. It might sound like foolish thought, but I feel like hell here doing this job without any interest (but I always received outstanding feedback from my leadership as well as clients). If I continue here , my next designation would be Manager. Long story but here are my questions … 1. Should I continue in IT or switch my career ? 2. I won’t get same package as that I m getting ryt now But Does organisations accept my reason and provide an opportunity aa fresher ? 3. As I m unmarried and don’t have anyone other than my parents as my dependents and habituated to a peaceful for quite some time, Is it a good decision to pursue my career now , knowing the fact that I might struggle with financial needs.? Your genuine answer could help people like me who are trapped in this kind of dilemma.. TIA

I will go first, it doesn't matter if you really work hard on a project, in the end only result matter, no matter how much efforts you made for it

I need some career advice. From my current organisation I just got laid off working as a data engineer with 2 year of experience. Now I got a data analytic offer should I accept that? In the future I want to work as a data engineer again, will switching from data analytic role make any problem in future?

I joined Infosys as a fresher in June 2021, and my first project has been and still is in the Financial domain for one of the Netherlands banks. As I haven't seen any increment in my salary or a hike from management after 2.6 years of working, I decided to start looking for a switch from January 2024. I received an offer from another company which offers close to a 170% hike (my current CTC is 4.10 LPA) and requires me to work from Hyderabad (currently working from Pune) I have submitted my resignation. My manager countered with an offer of a hike of 15-20% or an opportunity for onsite work in the Netherlands for 6 months, though this isn't immediate—it would be after a colleague returns, as he is going onsite first for 6 months starting in August. So, I may need to wait until next year and continue working on the same salary for 7 to 8 months. I am inclined to explore the onsite opportunity, but also feeling stuck from financial side. I'm unsure about what would be most beneficial for me in the long run. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 🙏 Thank you!

hey so here goes my post...I graduated last year and have been working at a pbc. However, the package and overall growth is something that I don't like. I work on hybris and spartacus it's good but I don't feel like I'm learning a lot. In clg i was practicing flutter even took an internship in it. Now the problem that i have rn is....i feel like compensation rn is not good.. it's 8lpa. And more importantly growth is not that high. Flutter is something I'm interested in but don't really see any good high paying jobs here. Then tech is all about being flexible with your tech stack....What would you suggest grind out dsa and go for the faang or do open source and try to get into one of those european or us startups which give remote work option but high pay...
