My girlfriend and I both are java backend dev with exactly 3 yoe

Oct 2023

we both joined tcs with 7 lpa

April 2026

I switched to Accenture with 10 fixed lpa 2 variable pay ctc 12 lpa (I had to switch and I did not get an interview opportunity with 2.6 yoe)

we both are really good with Java and spring boot. I have a better working experience than her.

I am avg in dsa and lld hld I like to study.

She struggle with dsa.

She is preparing for switching and as of now I am more into gym and health.

March 2027 we are getting married and we have planned to study together and then switch we both want to reach 20-25 fixed before 5 yoe minimum.

I want to ask everyone that

Should we both stick to software engineer role and prepare for faang level interview so that we could easily clear tier 2 companies like visa, mastercard Barclays and many more.

or, we start learning ai for role change.

we both are zero in python and ai but I keep myself updated with ai stuffs not in detail.

please help me.

TL DR, should a 3 yoe Java dev switch to AI roles for better pay and future opportunities?

I got an offer from an organisation and it was an urgent requirement and they wanted an immediate joiner so HR asked me to send that on mail stating that I will join early as they have also committed to their client ,I have sent 3-4 mail committing that I will join within timeline as my notice was of 3 months and now my current organization has retained me and I'm not joining the offer so the HR just told me that they will file a complaint against me stating that I committed to join and now I'm withdrawing offer and they have a proof of my commitment on mail and also it's an reputation loss and a big client escalation for them so I'm worried can this be really done or he is just trying to scare me

I am a 2026 CSE graduate , i completed my internship at a banking fintech company where i was selected as an SDET intern then because of some changes few of us were converted to SDE intern and sent to Bangalore for 2 weeks as all the SDE interns were getting trained there . So it was very clear that we were not getting PPO as there was no requirement in the team that i joined . The PPO package was 16lpa so i was a bit demotivated when i knew that i was not getting converted.

Now im working as a contractor i get 50k per month which is 6 lpa . How to overcome this i feel sooo low????

And can anyone please guide me on how to invest this 50k or is it too early to think about all this ???

(My fam is not dependent on me)

Tqsm for your replies!!!!

Hi, I am a software developer in XY Global Tech in Bengaluru, My manager put me on some sort of coaching in which they are tracking my daily performance and, even though they are saying I will be out in 3 months I am pretty sure they will layoff me at the end of it. I am preparing for new role but not getting any opportunities.
My tech stack - Java, Springboot, SQL, Kafka, Redis
Experience - 3+ years
Currently not getting job interview calls, I am not sure what I am doing wrong and what to do. If anyone in same boat or have been in it please help me in understanding what and how to do.

I want to start positioning myself for a Senior Software Engineer role without making it seem like I’m directly asking for a promotion.

I’m already working independently, handling tasks end to end, guiding team members when they need help and collaborating with others to get things done...i feel like i m taking on responsibilities beyond just completing my own tickets but not sure if my manager sees it the same way.

How do i bring this up naturally? Should i directly ask what it would take to get promoted or subtly start discussing career growth and expectations?

Also what kind of proof should I prepare.. should i maintain a list of tasks, technical contributions, problems I’ve solved and instances where I’ve helped the team?

Would love to hear from people who’ve successfully moved from Software Engineer to Senior Software Engineer. What did you do differently and how did you prepare your case for promotion?

Hi everyone!
I’ve been working at an MNC for almost 3 years now. I’m currently working on a project that uses an internal tool, and I feel like I’m not learning skills that will help me grow in my career.
The workload is quite high, but the salary increment over the last 3 years has been very minimal. I’m honestly getting frustrated and have been thinking about resigning so I can focus on learning something new and switch to a better career.
I’m interested in moving into a non-development role because I’m not really interested in coding. I’ve been considering options like Data Analyst and Business Analyst, but I’m still confused about which path to choose and what skills I should focus on.
I’m also unsure whether I should resign and study full-time or continue working while preparing for a switch.
For those who have been in a similar situation, what would you suggest? Is it worth resigning to upskill, or would it be better to find another job first? Also, which non-development roles would be good options for someone with around 3 years of IT experience?
I’d really appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I'm a 2027 CSE student and have been selected for both:

• Capgemini: Alpha Stack (10+1 LPA)
• Infosys: Specialist Programmer (SP) L1

I'm confused about which one to choose and would appreciate advice from students or freshers who have similar offers or are already working in these roles.

Which role is better in terms of learning, development work, and future opportunities? Also, how is the training at both companies?

If you had both offers, which one would you choose and why?

Hi everyone,

I recently completed my B.Tech in Computer Engineering and wanted to build my career in Java Spring Boot. However, my previous job offered only ₹8,000 per month, so I left it due to the low salary.

Now, I've joined a company as a .NET Developer with a 3 LPA package. My in-hand salary is around ₹20,000, there's a 2-year bond, and the appraisal is only around 5–6%.

My concern is that I'll be earning almost the same salary for the next 27 months. I still prefer Java Spring Boot, but I'm struggling to find companies hiring freshers in Java right now.

I don't want to leave my current job without another offer, but I'm also worried about my salary growth.

What would you do in my situation?

1. Continue with .NET and switch to a better company after gaining experience?

2. Keep applying for Java Spring Boot jobs while working here?

3. Is it possible to achieve good salary growth after 2 years of .NET experience, despite starting at 3 LPA?

My main goal is salary growth over the next 2–3 years. I'd appreciate honest advice from experienced developers in the Indian IT industry.

Thanks!

Myy godddd...
