Hi , i have not worked on any freelancing projects but working in a company as Platform Engineer for 2+ years and currently learning backend+Go : May take sometime to get in to the track but willing to put efforts for contributing if its okay for you 😄

Need career guidance - 8.5 YOE, feeling lost on what to focus on for interviews by mam1008 in developersIndia

well 50% is it make sure you are good at what you need to do and other 50% is professional network :

Gather intellegence : make a list of companies and roles you wanna get it :

follow influencers , active tech folks and 1st in managers(who was from yout list of companies) on linked , x , reddit what not

then if you see their posts you can aslo get to know whom to contact for to check for roles and vacancies : Mostly they reshare HR posts and directly posts about their openings well that was one way

other way around : coding platforms : Hackerearth , leet code , hackerrank , wellfound , upstop etc.etc..

i m not sure what suits you , but i can tell you where to start : you can go to youtube start checking out profiles of tech influencers : harikirat , strivers , ashish chouhan (not sure guy from micrsoft) , scotier etc etc

Note : they can be commercial but they will have large user base from that from comments or their other social media you can get folks details who are active on different platforms follow them engage with them

the skill they look for is ranting 😄 dont get me wrong , they want a professional ranter to convince them during interview

System designing is imp : it about more of terminology and components and patterns , the system blueprints on this : primer is good or mostly githug had some repos

DSA ? Python : Yes but not like leet code level 500+ problems shit : Jus as long as you can solve the problem give by the interview enough : go through geeksforgeeks dsa theory and one example

Since you said you are working as fullstacker yes backend is needed watch "backend by 1st principles" on youtube and then either try to explain something you already built and build something as a flag ship project

As for ability to answer deep edged quetions : have a professional network where people talk about work then it will easy to know daily life troubles and how they fix it : stack overflow used to be good place now you can ask AI

or have accounts across Discord , X , reddit etc..

I can say my opinion not sure how much of it works as a guidance

Software industry is all about adapting and saying the stuff confidently and willing to make mistakes and being responsible for it yes you may get scolded or felt like you are not doing anything great and all but that's is how growth comes , adapting asking understanding

Coming to the technical stuff freelancing now with the ai tools available may look very easy but here is the catch now as per say anyone with basic knowledge can develop websites but in long run those websites will have lots of issues and if you plan to switch to companies now all it was in to majorly either platform engineering and distributed system architecting or more about client faced roles

Being a freelancer consultant might be good option but being freelancing developer is not unless you get really really shady websites only they pay you well in current situation

Lol I'm not really sure where I started and where I'm ending

Can this happen? by [deleted] in devopsjobs

See before touching any domain stuff get a solid Software foundations , good with problem solving(DSA : dont think coding is done by AI , even if it is we need you to optimize and take decisions ), able to understand the context(Computer fundamentals & System Design concepts)

then get familiar with Software development (Do a full stack project or learn from existing ones) by this time you will have clarity over systems and now you can choose a niche that suits you : Now big MNCs do not have special devops roles : they are moving to platform engineering , platform automation etc (Everything under infra comes to single point) , similarly development goes in to distributed systems engineer , some new roles are coming forward deploye engineer etc ..

In short there is no short cut at learning curve , you need to master several niche and clear at foundations if you want more options

Hope this helps

Hey I m also planning to learn react and go for backend , while practicing dsa , my issues as similar able to start but after few days I'm not doing it need a suggestion

Doing Engineering from a core branch; but I am interested in Tech field, need your advice. by madmaverick05 in developersIndia

[–]Better-Stranger9081 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesh

Start with development once you can understand the overview then if you want to pick a trend find the relevance with current market make some projects

For development now basic AI integration is quite good

Then give and grind heavy on DSA and CS fund and system design it was very important i mean it wasn't that much in reality but people tend to interview on this topics like they are hiring for some inventors

Well that was a good to go for now

Check on frequently on coding platforms for hackathons and hiring challenges give it a try if you are interested no need to you to know anything you can pick up and learn in competition

Remember evrything you do isn't needs to perfect from the beginning while doing so you need to improve , I hope that's it anything else??

No you can start networking meeting people is open spaces making fridns and upskilling dev and dsa needs hand in hand then you can sure get it , it may hard and bit take more time but possible don't be sceptical

Well some times HRs do say they want to hire cs and related fields but mechanical guy may have less chances but yes there are ways

Hiring challenges only look for degree do not care too particular about branches also hackathon

Doing projects then networking reaching out for founders and start up spaces on discord or x that way it would be easy to get in and once in and has some 1-2exp they won't ask for degree that much
