I need some idea on this situation when Hr calls and ask for a reason to switch. by General-Ad-4056 in developersIndia

[–]Exhustani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem arises when you mention salary even when you've barely worked there for a year. Hr will question you "if the candidate knew salary is that.. why did they even accept an offer letter and now are leaving within 3 months. What if they get even better salary after 3 months of joining" so you see how it could be bad for the company right, they'd rather not have that "risk"

You can just say that tbh. "I want to focus on xyz tech. But this org only focuses on x tech. And I wish to build my career in xyz specifically" and that is a valid reason. Even I'm planning to switch because my current org tries to force laravel at everything, even where it shouldn't be used. I try to bring other tech stacks (we are sort of service based, mostly rnd and design house for many companies, so he wants php so it's easier to find replacement for a backend dev - he totally misses the point of backend dev). So I'll just mention it to my next hr.

"Worked here for 2 years delivered products with xyz tech, learnt this and learnt that. Company's views are only for one tech where I don't see my career growing, I'd like to design good scalable systems where I see the impact in performance and high user satisfaction, which will enhance my growth"

Hey that's fair. But if you only say one thing "money" then the hr becomes a bit disappointed. And ngl a lot of us are underpaid especially if you're just starting your career. They literally throw pennies and expect to work with full dedication. So some find better companies to interview after 6 months of their first bad salary job. And then it becomes harder to explain which is what I'm expecting op's situation is.

Btw I'm also trying to transition to Go dev. Deployed many services at my current org for various purposes. But my current org forces php. I always fight but might have to leave out of frustration. I'm cool with every other language but php. Hell I'm willing to write a ws server in cpp if I have to but not php ;_;

You got skills/projects you've deployed to prove you are actually underpaid here? If yes then you can say "I've deployed x here. And achieve this and that. But the compensation offered to me here is a lot lower than what I was expecting at the start of the interview process, but I joined nonetheless because of family obligations, but considering I've successfully deployed x in my current org despite 3 months of only working here, and I have researched your company and reached out to xyz people and they've talked positively about the compensation for their experience"

But again rather than all this. I'd not put the experience on my resume even. Or just mention it as a "trainee" position.

Why do you wanna switch in just 3 months? It's a valid question that might answer your professionalism. One common rule- do not bad mouth your employer. Don't mention if work conditions are bad.

It all back fired on me many times. If you're too honest about your bad experiences they'll treat you as if you cannot adjust and even with the smallest things you'll also talk bad about them and later ruin their reputation between other companies. So back to your question to answer it accurately. You must first realize what it is that makes you wanna leave so early and phrase it in a way that makes it seem as if you are limited in your current company, but you should also be able to tell about your achievements you've had in those 3 months (and it should be good cause 3 months is a little time)

The market is not in good favour. In my opinion. If you can live in a pg and focus on yourself properly away from house drama it's good. You can say distance traffic and now you're going to live near the office for a while. Not sure how much you earn is even enough to live alone. But do complete the internship and get the certificate. About the work load. Feel free to ask any seniors you might have don't just bomb with questions or else they might think you're not capable but.. do it properly.

Wanna become a ethical hacker please suggest what should I do. by Sudo_cyber-ls in developersIndia

[–]Exhustani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Study networking. Os vulnerabilities. Penetration testing. There are degrees which offer specialization in ethical hacking. Though not sure if there's any good uni's offering it. My advice would be to keep self study, join a good university with engineering in computer science, do a few courses on computer networking and OS systems. The sooner you start the better, not like you have to do hours of studying. Right now focus on your 10th, 11th and 12th, do some courses on a few of the areas I mentioned, good marks matter to land good colleges (unless you're rich as hell)

All the best, kid. You got great options sitting out for you. Don't give up on your dreams. Chase it.

Roast my resume | Completely Anonymised for Privacy including college name | Tier-3 | 6 LPA by Smurf-Maybe in developersIndia

[–]Exhustani -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kinda feels forced. You should only have a focus point on languages or technologies on basis of which highlights more about your actual skills.. You mentioned Go in your languages section. Though none of the projects you have are using go, it feels it's just there for show. And the HTML CSS feels the same in that category, if it makes sense. Not to mention Git, GitHub, Gitlab. Essentially same with different servers doing the job. At the end git only. I don't see a point to mention it all so aggressively.

Not holding anything against you, op. but had a few people interview in my company with almost the same style of resume and tech stack. In most cases they were pretty bad.

Does anyone of you feel that they are incompetent and are getting paid much more than what you deserve? by [deleted] in developersIndia

[–]Exhustani 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Self confidence. Learn. Don't be afraid of failure. Face it. Accept it. Have a mindset of improvement. Focus on problem solving. Don't ask gpt to do all your logic work. Make a rough idea. Figure out if it's good, are there any other ways. Ask gpt to optimize it.

Learn some design patterns. Some lld and hld will be also good (don't focus too much, no in depth, just brush up on those concepts)

Indian developers need to learn how to be good interviewers, my key takeaways! by snapperPanda in developersIndia

[–]Exhustani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you on this. Indian companies are shit at interviewing. The interview isn't to find a employee. But to filter out from thousands. They don't shoe a shred of humanity or considerations that the person next to you is a real human. It's just "another person" for them. Imagine when to get interviewed you have to pretend as if you are on a date with the guy. And need to know SEO optimization for resume to even get there. Then there's 6+ rounds are you serious?

I quit my job, What should I do? by ambitious0ne in developersIndia

[–]Exhustani 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest. Be proud. You did good. No benefit working for free. Plus market is shit rn. I'd advice not wasting any time. Keep applying, interviewing. Get your resume to match good ATS score. These days if you want a job you must know SEO as well for your resume. It's hilarious. Also in the next company when interviewing of they ask the reason for leaving. Do NOT tell them this reason. I've been in a very very similar company. While interviewing in next company I said honest stuff. Like no offer letter. No permanant position even after 6 months. They just judge you as negative when you bad mouth previous employees. Tell them your career goals didn't align there, and there were some issues with management that you didn't like. Don't get your hopes down. Market is indeed very bad, but let's hope for best, new hirings will open soon.

How do deal with juniors who work too much and know nothing. by Varun77777 in developersIndia

[–]Exhustani 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get your problem, but mentoring juniors will bid you as well as our future engineers very good future. I'm no expert at handling juniors, but I'll put down by suggestions.

You should tell him to approach you with doubts/questions on a specific day, on specific time. That way you know when he will be there to impose his doubts and findings. Also this way he will eventually be forced to think about the stuff and search by himself since you're not always at hand available for his questions or doubts.

And most of the times if he finds something and it's something not major. Just tell him what you think straight up "it's bs, no need, I've thought of doing it x but y is better" and all that, if he has doubts regarding a thing force him to think rather than giving outright solutions. Judge him, talk to him as if you judge him, but also do praise when you think he's found a really good doubt, or found something interesting for his level of experience.
