First, how do you get 2 yrs of internship experience? How does it work? So you study till 2 yr of college and remaining 2 yrs you just do internship?  
  
 Talking of this Job, just take it, no need to be choosy when you don’t have multiple job offers. You can always switch or try to change job profile in same company.

That said, Turing seems to be very small company and riding on the AI hype. Be prepared for layoff after 1-2 yrs if you do decide to join.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hello guys, I am a recent graduate, but I have 2 years of internship experience and I have learned a lot in internship s I joined the startup early and tight now it is more than $1M ARR, but now problem is I they are not giving me full time but getting paid decent.

Now I have got an offer from Turing and the pay is very very good, more than 4 times of what I am getting now and even FAANG does not pay this much, the role is LLM data scientist but the problem is  work is very basic, I will be doing RLHF, that is I will be checking the response of LLM model and giving it feedback to improve it's accuracy, so it's more kind of data annotation type work.


So what you guys tell, should I take this opportunity? I think I will not learn more over here as coding might be minimal but parents and everyone is telling that no one's get this much at start of career so I should take this, but I am confused as I will not learn or gain that much skills, so what should I do??? Please helppp

please help choose between money and type of work

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I am Interning at a very early stage startup in the Growth Team. My stipend is ₹15,000 p/m and the work is decent - community mgmt, content, product gamification & market research. It’s a pre-seed startup so sometimes I feel lack of resources are putting a cap on my abilities to execute. Though, the founder has assured that we’re close to raising pre seed. I am pretty good friends with the Founder and I’ve met him a few times.
Now, coming to the main part of problem - I casually applied for an Internship in a early stage startup but the team is sorted. They have funds and their founding team is super experienced. Stipend offered is 2x of what I’m getting.
I was wondering If I should opt for that? Or, keep my head down and work for the same startup, ignoring the money aspect? Pls lmk folks.

Optimise for Work or Money?

Founder

Hey all,

I am currently interviewing at a big bank in Dubai(on site)for frontend role but haven’t had any technical rounds with live coding or hard questions on js/react. They will pay me good money. Good means double of what I will get in India and zero tax.

The only good thing is salary as of now.

Should I take this opportunity seriously? Any advice?

About me : Frontend developer with 4 years of experience and about to get laid off this week. 

Thanks

Should I choose a job opportunity just for money

Engineering grad. Transitioned into marketing right out of college. ~2 years of experience. 

Started out on a shit pay, currently underpaid but getting good exposure and learning a lot. 

This was a conscious decision as I am focused on learning, growth and personal development. 

Feedback is, I have made massive professional progress in the last 1.5 years and the company too (at my request) is giving me more agency to explore and diversify my skill set.  

This means; mainly more responsibilities, a few operations related decisions & tasks and a few sales calls and client presentations.  

I work at a very small startup and I feel, despite having the opportunity to learn here, the environment or mostly the pay is too shit/low. 

I am already a star employee here and I feel it would be a good time to switch, to be amongst a group wherein I can get more challenges and opportunities. Of course, a higher pay would be wonderful as well. 

While, job switching is an option, I am also thinking about doing an MBA. 

I feel if I can build upon this momentum and get into a good college - it would negate years of grind that I would have to put (in the current scenario). 

I really would like you good people to analyse my situation and help me out, please.

TIA.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I'm currently a SWE intern at a Series A startup (loss making) and they have offered me a full-time role. They have 2 years of runway.

I also have an offer from a very recently funded seed stage startup (pre revenue) with the same runway. It is a team of 13 people.

As a fresh grad, considering similar pay and growth opportunities, which one should I join?

Good time to join an early stage startup as a fresher?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I've done my Btech in EC from NIT. Worked for 2Y as a dev in IT Services co. Then I did my MBA from one of the old IIMs. 
Got placed as a "Consultant" in one IT services co, where JD said the role is client facing and business centric. Have been working here for close to 2Y. Basically I'm part of an Agile project team, as another Dev/QA resource. I basically do QA for project releases and occasional SQL scripting. Tried internally to switch to a Project/BA role but this experience is hindering me. Outside it's even worse as I don't even get shortlisted.
I believe I have good skills to excel in Product/BA/Project roles. But not getting them as I don't have any prior experience. My confidence is very low now and my career seems to go nowhere.

The pay is also worse, 21.6LPA currently ( of which 17.6 is fixed). I'm not complaining and this money is a lot for most people. But it's not even close to what my juniors after 2 batches earn. 

The only upside in my job is no pressure and can work remotely most days.

What should I do ?
Shall I learn AI/ML and move to an Individual Contributor role ? How to get shortlisted for these after prep?

Any advice or leads would be helpful, TIA.

Need guidance on my career path

Analyst

Hello everyone,  So I am an ML intern and a 2024 cs graduate, I have been doing internships since 3rd year of my engineering  and right now I am interning at an startup since 1 year and I don't have any full time offer as of now and the startup where I am interning is also not talking about full time offer, so what should I do now, ask for increment in stipend, ask for full time offer(talked to them in December, HR told will see when in April may, when we will raise funding, he also added "consider that you will not get" but I still kept interning) or keep applying at other places?

Should I ask for increase in stipend as I have completed 1 year?

What should I am for?
- A well named startup or company at slightly lower pay?

- A high payed salary from the startup or a company that no one ever heared of...

Example:
Currently I am making 12 LPA as a marketer.
But I am worried about my future as I am finding it tougher to get hired for salary anything above than this. 

How about working at a fancy startup? (meesho, sugar, CRED, etc.) at a lower pay like 10 LPA - will it secure my future? As people prefer to hire ex-employee from these fancy startups. 

Or should I be searching for a 15 LPA or 20 LPA job but from a company or startup that no one ever heard about, adding no value to my CV while working there

What should I choose?

If you're early in career like (3yoe) and you get offer from a big org which is comparable to FAANG but work is very domain specific and not quite relevant and based on some company specific stack but pay is great so should one go for it, also to mention if current work one is doing is full of learnings.

Work vs Pay ?

Software Developer

I received an offer with average pay but from a good, growing startup. The role is exactly what I want, and the team consists of very good, brilliant people from Tier 1 and 2 institutes, while I am a Tier 3 institute student. Considering the current market situation and the fact that I don't have any prior internship or work experience, I got the offer based on my technical skills. What should I do? Should I go for it? The on-campus placement companies are nowhere near as good as this one.

Got an offer from a top-tier startup—should I take the leap?

To the senior people in the industry I need your advice badly. 

My background: I am a 2023,CSE graduate from NSUT Dwarka (Tier -1) college. I had an offee from company with CTC of 12LPA and that offer got revoked.

Currently I am working in a service based startup with peanuts as sallary. The work I am being assign here is mainly of Langchain and ML(which I don't have much interest in but can do if required).How do you get out of this company and should I stay here just for experience for atleast one year.

please drop your valuable suggestions

Hey everyone,

I'm currently working as a SDE at a startup with about three years of experience. I'm considering making a move, and I've received an offer from an early-stage startup where I'd be joining as a founding engineer.
My main motivation for wanting to switch to some startup is the potential for high learning and growth opportunities, especially since I'm still relatively early in my career. However, I'm a bit torn between targeting multinational corporations (MNCs) like FAANG and sticking with startups.On one hand, MNCs offer more stability and potentially valuable stock options, which can be more than just paper money. 
So, my question is, should I prioritize learning and growth by staying with startups, or should I also consider the FAANG tag and potential stock benefits? Also Would there be any added advantage when I later interview at some FAANG , after working as a founding engineer for 3-4 years in some startup (given I’ll have to build multiple things from scratch and owning multiple modules). The base package for the offer I hold is roughly equivalent to what FAANGs pay at my level.

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I recently got offer from an early stage startup in banglore. They raised a total funding of $5.19M over 2 rounds.

I have past experience of 2 years working with 2 startups and building apps from scratch for them.

Honestly I'm really confused about this offer, it is for sure better than my previous offer but I'm not feeling satisfied.

Any suggestions guys?

Hello everyone 

I am currently in my 4th year of Btech CSE and doing a 6-month internship in a fintech company

Here I don't get to work on real projects just time waste tasks and empty assurances that one day I will get

In FOMO, I did grind leetcode and also got a job but never been able to become very good at it

I started doing projects (MERN) after work, on weekends it feels great to do projects but the thing is that I get limited time  and the projects do not appear a big deal to anyone as I am making them on my own (No to " tutorial hell") gradually process of learning 

So my question is should I quit my job and develop my skills in MERN and other tech as I still have btech left it will not appear as a gap 

Also, I have 2-3 product ideas in my mind that I can work on 

Should I take a leap of faith?

Data engineer

Hello folks, I am working with a startup (now acquired by a big fintech) as FTE for 1.5 years now (Full stack dev) , my TC is 18 LPA (14.4 Fixed + Variable) in a permanent wfh model.

The reason I want to switch is that my tech team is very small (4 people) and there is no senior person in my team from whom I can learn something, thus my learning has become stagnant technical wise.

Should I try and switch company or stay in the same for more time, considering the current market scenario?

PS: I am a 2022 graduate.
