Hi,

10Y backend exp: Early PHP, WP, CI, Laravel (monoliths/MVC). Last 3Y for a single project orchestration: Spring Boot microservices + PostgreSQL (REST APIs, scalable systems).

Last role ended Dec 2025; got relieving/exp letters, no payslips.

Took health break; alt income on hold. Ready to return.

Last CTC: 9LPA. Target 13LPA—fair for mid-senior? Practical Java from Spring Boot; weak core.

Prep tips? Gap handling? Upskill (GenAI, DSA)? Job advice for profiles?

Help appreciated.

This practice is on a big push of having ppl certified in one of those Advanced Cloud Certifications. We can pick either AWS, Azure and GCP with various specifications. Any recommendation on which one to pick? Ideally the widely used ones by client.

TIA!

Hi Everyone,
I need your views and suggestions. I have two doubts:

2. If I have to make a switch do I really have to target big brands only or can try for medium and small size companies too.
