Hello Guys, I graduated in 2022 and joined my current company (an Indian MNC) where I currently work as an SDE 2 with total CTC of 17LPA (Base 14). I recently completed 2 years in this company. For the first 6 months I was in training, so I have been in my team since last 1.5 years. The tech stack we use is C++. So for the last 1.5 years I have just been working on C++. We don't use a lot of libraries and have everything developed in house. Memory management, Threads, Data Structures - all are implemented by various teams and are being used. So while I have worked on C++, a lot of it has been using internal libraries. I have mostly worked on implementing some functionality that uses OS calls (Windows and Linux), and some PoCs.
Since I completed 2 years, I was just thinking of my future and I started getting worried. I regret that I wasted a lot of time and right now I don't know what to do. While I have started doing DSA again ,I am very unclear and confused about how to make a job switch, what skills to learn and how to grow. I'm feeling very low and hopeless. Any guidance will be very helpful.
Why are you hopeless? You should know one thing at the outset- Most of the large MNCs have this same tech pattern- i.e. they have their own libraries, their own framework, their own ecosystem. So that part is nothing new.
If you want to switch job, simply start appearing for Interviews with some basic dsa brushed up. Some very good companies have c++ specific openings. Recently I had come across C++ jobs in these reputed MNCs- Juniper Networks, Cisco, Palo Alto Networks etc.
Thanks a lot.
Yes, I've heard from a lot of people that all large MNCs have the same tech pattern. But since one hasn't worked on 'C++ features', will that be a disadvantage? For example I've never used threads , containers etc from the standard libraries.
Yes I've started doing DSA again and plan to apply for interviews. I was also thinking if I should learn some other tech stack there are lesser openings for C++ devs and I too want to work on something else as well
Bro apply to quant companies. They use c++ heavily.
