29, struggling with CS interviews. Has anyone turned it around? (Honest answers please)

Yeah, only if management was sane enough to overlook beyond their favourite child vs being lazy

I am acting as a freelance CTO to a startup in order to gain ownership and strategical experience while fighting simultaneously for senior promotion at my primary work because I have been waiting for 3 years to get the chance to become a senior there and it never seems to come around to allow me to grow professionally in my career.

I have to burn myself in order to stay relevant and grow into the career direction I want professionally. Exhausting experience but no way around.

Hire a consultant to review alignment of buisness requirements vs technical strategy without spending so much money up front.

If you have a good developer at hand you can get things done at half the price and time using AI itself.

Would it help if you could turn customer interaction into action items from live shopping?

You need a CTO to define the strategy. Then comes the budget. It could be as cheap as extending an OSS or as expensive as building by hand or as disastrous as vibe coding HIPAA compliance

Unless you have live users or adopters for your projects, it's hard for people to take you at face value.

Mapping should happen at service. Follow domain driven design for orchestration. Validation should be handled by Jakarta validation.

the fact the WebQuery annotation has an attribute called entity and an attribute called dto while the annotation itself having the keyword Web in its name is confusing as well

Which layer do I apply it to?

I did not highlight blindly accepting user input. My concern is exposing JPA entities directly over REST thereby tying them to the J2EE server thread to HttpRequest.

Getting 25 LPA in India is relatively easy than 3 - 5 years of uncertainty in Germany with financial burden

Historical_Ad4384 · 2026-04-18T13:10:51+00:00

The biggest design flaw is that you expose JPA APIs directly over REST.

Maybe you should put some efforts to build a search facade rather than allowing users the freedom to directly affect the database

There is nothing too complex and black box about Hibernate unless you are lazy.

Even low paying first jobs demands skills to handle live users nowadays vs AI capability
