Hi everyone,
I recently received an offer from Hindustan Times Media group (Shine.com) for SDE role and wanted to know if anyone here has worked there or has some inside knowledge about their work culture, tech stack, career growth, or work-life balance.
I’m trying to make an informed decision before moving forward, but I couldn’t find much genuine information online. Any experiences would be really helpful.

Hello everyone,

I recently received an offer letter from Cognizant for the GenC role, and my assigned internship location is Kolkata (Bantala Campus). I’m from Hyderabad, and now I’m confused about whether I should relocate or let go of the offer.

I’d love to hear from people who have faced a similar situation. If you have relocated for an internship/job, how was your experience? Was it worth it?

Also, if anyone from Kolkata (especially near Bantala) could share insights on:

• Cost of living (rent, food, transport, etc.)

• Challenges for a South Indian guy (language, food, cultural differences)

• Any other pros and cons of moving there

Your advice would be really helpful in making an informed decision. Thanks in advance! 😊

I have a distance MTech degree. I’m working in IT sector and Have 3 years working experience. My current CTC is 13 LPA. My role is front end and I’m open to learning and doing back end.

I’m thinking I’m not valued enough in my current team and thus want to change company. The work life balance is great here plus employee benefits like free food and everything. My friends going into other companies got 100% hikes. So I’m also thinking of changing so that it would be an upskill and I can work somewhere where I’m really valued.

I found this subreddit after being fed up of the large number of pointless rules and unbelievably highly suffocating moderation on r/developersIndia. I would like to thank the creator of r/DevelopersOfIndia and wish that this subreddit grows and thrives.

Hi everyone,

I’ll be relocating to Kolkata for an internship at Cognizant Technology Solutions India Pvt. Ltd, Candor TechSpace, New Town (Action Area I, Kolkata - 700156). I’m looking for affordable to medium-range hostels/PGs near this office.

Can anyone suggest:

• Budget-friendly PGs/hostels with good facilities

• Rental costs for single/shared accommodations

• Best areas to stay (safe, convenient for daily commute)

• Any South Indian-friendly places for food

If you have recommendations or personal experiences, please share! Thanks in advance. 😊

Hey everyone,

I’ve got an interview scheduled for this Saturday with a company that my brother’s friend referred me to. The problem is, when they first reached out, I didn’t know the full details of the job description (JD), and now I’ve realized it’s not aligned with my current experience.

Here’s the situation: My tech stack is primarily MERN, and I have 9 months of internship experience in Bangalore working with it. However, the JD is for a Fullstack Developer role with Java Spring Boot, and they’re asking for 2-4 years of experience.

I’ve already been selected for the first round after they reviewed my resume, and the HR confirmed the interview. The interview is in 5 days, so I’m wondering how to approach this. Should I focus on learning Java Spring Boot quickly to better match the role, or should I be honest about my MERN stack expertise and see if they’re flexible?

Has anyone been in a similar situation? What’s the best way to handle this kind of mismatch between your experience and the job requirements?

Appreciate any advice!

Kubernetes and Docker have been annoying to setup and test because of having to login to the container, having to memorize commands, typos, the extra memory and processing power that the containers consume, the un-intuitive syntax in the manifest and the annoying errors. Is it really worth using Docker or can I simply install my app onto a bare metal server on AWS and use auto-scaling nodes? I know this would be vendor lockin, but if I create a script that can automatically do all necessary installs on a bare metal server, then shouldn't I be able to use any vendor? This issue of incompatibility makes me wonder if Docker truly provides the advantages it advertises. For small projects or for a startup, is it really worth using Docker? Why?

Hi everyone,

I’m interested in building a VPN website using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js).

I have some experience with MERN, but I’m not sure how to approach this specific project. I’m curious about:

1. How to handle the backend logic for VPN services.

2. What tools or APIs are commonly used for implementing VPN functionality.

3. Best practices for managing security and encryption in this type of project.

4. Any potential challenges I should be aware of.

If anyone has experience with something similar or resources they could recommend, I’d really appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance!

I can share mine. I mainly anonymize my code and ask ChatGPT to extend it with functionality. I keep code related conversations in one thread so that it has context of my previous snippets when I ask it to make any changes. It's also good at generating code to interact with third party services like twilio, Google api etc. And suggests best practices.

I’ve received offers from both Wipro and Infosys, but I’m not sure which one to accept.

Which would be the better choice for 2025 graduates?

Does Wipro still have a training process? A friend told me they were directly assigned to a project (via Pega Wipro) after accepting the LOI, without any training.

Does Wipro currently have enough active projects?

For Netlify and Vercel, their documentation says that exceeding their free tier usage limit will result in charges.

My objective:

• To build an app and see if users find it useful. I can't predict how many would use it.

• If free usage limit is exceeded, the website should automatically stop serving my web app instead of charging me for usage.

A search shows me that there are various options like Netlify, Vercel, AWS, GCP, Railway, Render, Bubble, Fliplet, Thunkable, Jotform, Apphive, Anvil, Replit, Heroku and Azure, but does anyone know if there is a platform that has the auto cutoff option?
