Data Science & Analytics

Hello, I'm a data engineer with 4.3 LPA and 3.2 years of total experience working as an Ab initio developer at my present firm. Right now, I really need to switch, but I'm having trouble doing so because I'm not getting enough interviews for Ab initio development.

Could someone kindly tell me if learning ab initio alone would help me succeed, if I need to add anything else, if I should alter my designation to ETL DEVELOPER, and what technologies I need to learn for that specific role? I've been stuck on this LPA for the last 2 years.

I’ve set aside 1 lakh for my baby and want to invest it wisely  something long-term that I can give him when he turns 18. Ideally, I want to just invest it and not worry about it much, but I don’t mind adding more to it over the years maybe for his education, travel, or any other needs when he grows up.

Rn, I’m already investing in SIPs and mutual funds for myself. But for this should I look at something else too? Any long-term plans you’d recommend?

Also, just thinking practically if something happens to me, how do I make sure this amount reaches him safely? Any tips around nomination, joint accounts, or will-based planning would really help 

Would love to hear from anyone who’s planned something similar for their child

I worked in a company for 20 years and suddenly put off role. Searching jobs I realised I am over age for various roles that I could do and less experienced for Leadership Roles as my exposure was limited. I always thought I am earning decent money and can work another 7 years and retire at 50. Though the younger generation is much smarter I still want to advise them (BFSI specific)
* Work in a role for max 2-3 years and switch when you feel you are done.
* By age of 30, if you are still earning less than 10 lakh you are not growing 
* By age of 35 you must become AVP as no company will hire AVP if you are more than 36.
*Be loyal to your self, not your organization. 
* Most importantly save atleast 30% or more of whatever your CTC. Donot spend much with every raise. 
* Buy a property, and pay loans before 35.

It feels like everywhere you look, there's a new headline about Al taking over jobs and changing everything as we know it. It's easy to feel a bit overwhelmed, when you hear all that talk. Al isn't just about job losses; it's about job evolution and creation too! Throughout history, new technologies have always shifted the job market, and while some roles change or get obsolete, many new and exciting opportunities emerge.

Instead of focusing on the "Al is taking over" narrative, let's think about How Al can make our current jobs easier and more efficient. Imagine Al as a powerful assistant, not a replacement! * The new roles and industries that Al will create. Think about Al developers, ethicists, trainers, and specialists in countless fields.

* The opportunity to learn new skills and adapt. This is our chance to grow and become even more valuable in the workforce use this moment to empower ourselves with knowledge, not fear. What are your thoughts?

Product Management

It looks so glamorous from the outside, strategy, leadership, cross-functional teamwork. But what they don’t tell you? Most days, you’re just begging 4 teams to meet the same deadline while pretending to “own the roadmap.”

No real authority. Only responsibility. No final say. But full blame. You’re in 7 calls a day explaining why something is delayed, without being the one who’s building or designing it. Mental gymnastics + political survival + feature prioritisation = one confused brain.

Still want to be a PM? Cool. Just know: it’s not a chair, it’s a blender. Other PMs reading this, what’s your biggest daily headache?
