@KomalWCode Hi Komal, I’m currently exploring data engineering. I’d love to hear about your experience as a data engineer in Germany whenever you have a moment.
No pressure at all, and thanks for sharing your insights!

@divyaporwal_ Relatable to me atleast.

[Juned Khatri | Engineer Turned Recruiter 🇮🇳 @hijunedkhatri]

A simple hack to grow in any career:
Work on problems that are expensive for the business.

I am lucky to speak with hundreds of engineers every month. Across levels. From junior engineers to senior leaders. Over time, I have noticed a clear pattern.

The engineers who create real money and real value for themselves do not just focus on writing clean code.

Let me explain.

They move closer to problems that affect:
- Revenue
- Cost
- Speed
- Customer retention

Let me break it down for you.

One senior engineer told me,
“I stopped asking which ticket to pick. I started asking what is hurting the business the most.”

Another said,
“When I started caring about infra costs, not just features, my role changed.”
No big dramatic moment.

Just a shift in the kind of problems they chose to work on.

Most engineers stay with defined work.
Clear scope. Clear output. Clear review.

The ones who grow faster lean into messy, high-leverage problems.
The ones no one fully owns yet.
That’s usually where value is created.

If you want a practical next step:
Ask your manager,
“What’s the most expensive problem on your plate right now?”

Then see how you can contribute.

Curious to hear from senior folks here,
What shift made the biggest difference in your career?

It’s honestly tough out there right now.

The competition is intense, and the preparation list just keeps growing: DSA, HLD, LLD, Computer Fundamentals, Projects… and then multiple interview rounds.

You put in months of effort, clear assessments, give interviews… and sometimes still get ghosted.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone. This phase is hard for almost everyone.

Just focus on getting a little better every week. That’s the only part you truly control.

@AanshulSadaria Awesome 💯 💯. Accurately pointed it out.😉

1. Smile. As much as you can. Even when you are confused and thinking if you will make it or not, smile often. 😊

[Pratham @Prathkum]

I got a 77.78% salary hike within 6 months of my first job.

Your first job is the most difficult territory for you to survive.

Most people quit, get fired, burnout because it's a new world for everyone at least once.

I survived.

And I want to share these 9 things with you which every manager should be doing while onboarding new team members.

1. Over communicate: Always make sure to explain or report anything in a verbose manner. "Done" or "Working on it" are not the way to go. Over communicate is way better than under-communication.

2. Don’t hesitate to ask questions: Asking questions will help you learn new stuff, improve your workflow, and enable you to get the task done quickly. Silly questions are usually the most logical.

3• Decision making: That's the most puzzling situation. It's hard to make decisions as a junior developer. Sometimes you will be stuck in a dilemma where you have to make a decision. Think Twice, analyze possible outcomes, and take action accordingly.

4. Explore more: Keep exploring new technologies, tools, and ideas to help you deliver your goals 10X faster. Explore things, get inspired, and deliver things.

5. Note it down: Trust me, your productivity will increase 10 times if you start noting down things. Prepare your day plan, take notes in meetings, and work accordingly.

6. Build trust: This may sound silly but managers hate to manage. They do have much important work to do. Always make sure to complete the insistent tasks that your manager assigned. That's how you can gain trust and stop being micromanaged.

7. Fix your schedule: It will feel like you have no time to do your stuff in your initial days. Eight hours job + eight hours sleep. You still have eight more hours to do what you want to do. Work in slots, if possible.

8. Criticism is fuel: Being criticized is not a bad thing if related to work. Feedback is essential, and when it comes in a grating way, it will help you improve even faster.

9. Love what you do: Everything might be challenging in the beginning. Adapting to a new place, work, and people is not easy at all. Take it slow, give it some time, and then get your teeth into it.

That's all.

You can win too.

@NiharikaSodhi Reading helps too. 😃

[Siddharth Gopi @siddharthgopi]

Lately, tech twitters been depressing.

- bad job market
- layoffs
- engineers applying & not hearing back
- talk of things improving only in 2024
- even good brands like Dunzo struggling

Figured I'll share internal 📊 to cover the state of India tech hiring and add perspective
