A Developer’s Struggle

Everything was going well. A stable job, a growing career—life seemed on track. But in October 2024, the company suddenly ran out of funds. Within a month, everything changed. Since then, not a single job call has come. Applications go unanswered. The inbox remains empty. Every day feels like a loop of waiting, hoping, and getting disappointed. What should I do now? Keep trying? Switch fields? Or is there another way? This is my story. Maybe someone out there can relate.

Need roadmap for Python for data analysis from zero🫠 to hero😎, udemy is confusing!

Hello everyone, I'm a functional business analyst juggling my life in this roller-coaster of an industry of tech 👻 I have started learning Python and to be honest I am going on and off for past two years...🫠 The real reason is.... I have gained knowledge about basics of Python like (variables, if-else, loops and functions) the real problem is from there I am not sure how to proceed further.... The goal is to land a data analyst role but after learning the basics I feel lost like everything get overwhelming after the basics.... like I am missing a huge block of information that will help me solve Python problems. Maybe I am too dumb to follow and can't build logic and memorize Python syntax but I need to learn it or else there will be no place for me in the industry, As an analyst I have missed many well paying opportunities as I lack python and SQL in my CV. Can anyone suggest a good roadmap for absolute beginners like me to work with Python and transition to data analysis.

Is transitioning from a Full Stack to Cloud Architect or DevOps role good idea?

I have completed 9.3 yrs of exp now. All these years I have worked on developing full stack web apps and websites. Worked little on cloud in deployment. I don’t have that patience or interest anymore of learning, practising DSA for interviews for software engineering or full stack roles. I am tired of it. Can’t take the stress any more of performing in pair-coding test platforms. My intuition now says I should try shifting completely towards DevOps or Cloud Architect roles. Am I thinking right?

Career shift

Hi, I have done my UG in Bsc advanced zoology and biotechnology passed out in 2023. I wanted to become a doctor but financial crisis pushed me other way. At first for one year I was a front office executive in a hospital and now I am a billing executive in one of the reputable hospitals in Chennai. Just like that two years passed. Now I am feeling guilty for not fulfilling my dreams. I want to become a doctor or research associate. But in all websites I found only medical coding jobs and even idk it is the standard job. And in other hand "doctor" I definitely have to crack the exam at fullest through merit, but I am afraid that it's too late for me to crack the exam and become a doctor. Already am 22, so after five years of MBBS, am I that much old to treat patients? Sometimes I want to learn medical coding But some says medical coding jobs are not permanent and low salary. Sometimes I just want to quit everything and want to escape somewhere, Someone pls guide me.

Need help in negotiating notice period.

I am in talks to get an offer as a Backend Developer in a very good company. They are offering good CTC, but they want me to join in 30 days. The official notice period in my current company is 60 days. How can i get it down to 30 ? I dont think my company provides buyout (I can try but a friend of mine who left previously, HR didnt accept the buyout). Although in the offer letter they have written only if Company allows i can pay for the notice period, but i really dont think they will allow. Its all under manager's discretion. Even if leave early forcefully, they wont provide me my all letters which are needed. What all excuses I can give to my manager such that he allows me to leave after 30 days? Do i need to tell him the actual reasons ? This is a very big opportunity for me..

Which career should I choose to transition into? Seeking advice for a stable, well-paying field

Hi everyone, I’m a 34-year-old with 9 years of experience in video editing. While I enjoy the creative aspect, I feel the salary in this field is quite low, and I’m looking to learn a new skill to transition into a more stable and financially rewarding career. I’m planning to take a paid online course (not interested in certificates) to upskill, but I’m unsure which field to pursue. I’d prefer something with a clear career path, job security, and decent earning potential. Freelancing isn’t an option for me as I want a fixed salary and stability. Could you suggest some careers or skills that align with my goals? Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

How to Balance Career and Family?

I have 8 years of experience across customer service, digital marketing analytics, backend operations, and product management. I’m skilled in visualization tools, basic SQL, and Excel. Currently, I work as a Business Analyst for a product-based company, earning 25 LPA. Personally, I recently got married, and we’re expecting twins. As the only child, my parents, who live in Kolkata, are at an age where they need support and can't manage on their own. My wife has been promoted and moved to Bangalore, while I’m based in Hyderabad. I’ve also recently bought a house, and managing households across three cities is overwhelming. The constant travel is affecting my savings, and I’m struggling to find time to upskill. With responsibilities for my parents, growing family, and future savings, I feel lost and uncertain about my next career move. I’d appreciate any advice on balancing these priorities and ensuring financial stability for the future.

Currently working as a supply chain executive in a top-tier Japanese MNC. I joined as a fresher through campus placement. Salary - 4.5 LPA CTC. I am an MBA in International Business from Tier 3 college. I want to transition into more analytics/IT. Before my new job, I will learn new tools for me to enter into the analytics basic domain. Please consider that even where I am in my career, I still want to change fields. Will my work experience help in a new domain? What salary can I expect? I have heard that no matter the new post. The salary depends on the last salary drawn + normal salary hike in market even though you change industry/domain/profile/skills. Is it true? Can't I jump from 4.5 LPA to 8-12 LPA (approx)., if I try through referral, I have good communication skills, soft skills,etc. If yes, how to negotiate?

I look like a job hopper; I think it is going to impact my job search now.

I need guidance on how to go on to find my next job, and I want to be stable hence I am becoming picky. I have 5+ years of experience, here is my story. I worked at my first company for 1.5 years; I switched because I needed a hike which was deferred due to covid. So, after making a move, I worked at the second company for 2 years, and I was literally not learning anything on the job. So, I made the move. Here is where, I changed my careers and landed my next role at a startup, where I had 0 WLB and was in hybrid mode. Everything was great until they changed their hybrid mode to full time WFO. Protesting against this led to the company asking me to resign. So, 1 year here and then I scrambled for another offer to keep the paychecks coming I had to find another company and it was the worst (permanent WFO, toxic and unhygienic place). I worked there for 7 months while I kept looking out. So, this was 4 company switches in 5 years of experience. The next offer was my dream role...

Stuck in low salary

As I navigate through my professional journey, I have come to a roadblock - being stuck in a low salary. With 3 years of experience and a non-tech background, my current CTC is only 2.6 LPA (BPO Non voice). However, there is a glimmer of hope as my company has hinted at promoting me to a team lead position in April with a package of 3.5 LPA. But I can't shake off the feeling that my hard work and effort are not being adequately compensated. So, I turn to you, my fellow professionals, for advice. Should I consider exploring other opportunities or should I invest in upskilling myself with a data analysis course? I would greatly appreciate any resources and advice you have to offer. Let's help each other grow and thrive in our careers.

Need suggestion on a Job offer

So basically I've got one job offer of 5 LPA and and currently where I'm working I have 3.5 LPA from this perspective it seems good to change but there are some other things like the company from which I got 5 LPA offer is around 50 KM far from my home hence I won't be able to travel daily and I'll need to rent a flat or PG in other hand where I currently work it's office is like around 25 km which I can travel daily but petrol expenses is added up but still it's not as much costly as renting a flat also appraisal is next month so my salary here will also increase Don't really know how much tho And there are some other important things as well Like where I'm currently at I'm also working on one of our upcoming product which I'm currently leading and when the product launches I'll most probably get the designation of product manager and from the company I have received offer is for inbound sales so If I accept it my line of work changes completely.
