Hi , Is it advisable to become a TLM -> EM Vs staying as an IC (SSE-> Staff->Principal) ?The reason for my question is because on one side -> due to AI/Claude Code , lots of engineers are getting laid off as AI agents can do the work for you , so staying in IC also is risky .However , choosing a TLM -> EM path also has its consequences as first line managers are being letgo due to org flattening (only exp might stay),Which is a slightly safer path for the next 1-3 years?

Hi Fishes,
Can anyone have an idea of work life balance of Ericsson India global? And how's the company is? @Ericsson

I just want to be best friends with every single person on this app. Thanks for the continuous laughs and entertainment.

Going through a lot of mixed emotions. Almost feels like my anxiety levels are on the rise. I used to think I can manage stress very well, but that belief seems to be fading away. I am diabetic as well and don’t see much point of working hard as I have in all my life so far... and just feel like living alone and going somewhere in the darkness. Anyone else facing similar issues?

If I’m reaching out cold for tech recruiting, would you rather receive an email or LinkedIn message?

Hi,
What kind yearly hike can be expected in TCS by lateral hires?? Would be great if some one can give a band wise estimate.
Also is the hike amount added to fixed components like basic and hra... or only in mva or qva components??
Appreciate your responses.

Running out of socially distant things to do in the DMV in the winter. Any favorite less popular parks/nature spots? Please share suggestions!

Anyone tried biossance skin care line? I’m Pregnant and wanted something safe and clean during my pregnancy.

What’s the hiring market like in Texas for a 4th year investment management associate? I’m interested in Austin but understand there may be more opportunities in Houston or Dallas. Graduated with honors and on law review at a T14, if that helps at all.

For those of you with young children and a 2000 billable requirement, could you share what your typical daily schedule is like? Also do you have time to fit in exercise?

So, I've realised there's a problem with developers, a lot of them are coders, not engineers. And another issue, is that, companies don't really care about their progression as far as I'm aware, so what did you guys do in your own time to transition from being a coder to an engineer?

How to stay up to date as a software architect?
I've migrated from being a software engineer to a software architect role.

I'm looking for ways to stay up to date with architectural trends and patterns so that I can stay well rounded and up to date on current trends and ways to solve problems.

Any suggestions?

Is your compensation and performance reviewed automatically on a regular/annual basis? I don’t get either of these unless I ask for it! Found out others in our company experienced the same as me. Lowball Salaries trending as a common pain point

I like my team and work life balance, during the pandemic was very beneficial to my wellbeing. However feel I owe it to myself now, to be earning what I’m worth in the market (I’m underpaid by a fair bit) especially with inflation costs

Serious question from a happy software engineer, what do you all love about your work/actually enjoy doing during working hours?

I'll start; I'm privileged enough to have been given the opportunity to work and learn deeply on Linux and Kubernetes, and I get to tinker and play with them all day. Problem solving with them is a "fun" part of my job.

Of course most things aren't roses and sunshine, but I'd love to hear the positive parts of what you are doing, or what you like to do at work.

I am a Technical Project Manager and Certified Scrum Master with cloud computing and migration experience. I am looking for referral primarily in Atlanta, GA but will also consider remote elsewhere.

Which languages do you use at your job as a software engineer?

What makes you want to learn yet another programming framework / library / language besides the stack at work?

I am a contract employee that was just brought on a month ago. I have done well with onboarding and learning their tech. I have now been asked to design an architecture for an upcoming project, and document it all. Nothing at this company has been well documented before. I have a feeling they just planning to use my previous experience and then let me go since my pay is high. Is there a way I can safeguard against this?

Has anyone else worked two programming roles at one time?
I currently work as a Contracted Software Engineer and I’m set to finish my contracted time at the end of October. To stay ahead of game I started to move forward in the interview process with another opportunity as an Application Software Programmer and just received notification that I got the position. I definitely could use the extra paycheck to help out with my financial obligations. Just wanted to see if anyone has done this before.

Hi,

My client’s site got hacked yesterday. I didn’t see any actual signs of impending attack. But knowing how little we do for cyber security when building a site, I knew we must have been vulnerable in some way. I’ve tried pushing for more cybersecurity measures in the last year, but being a Jr, I don’t know a lot about it. My manager had brushed it off as something that would be nice to look into if [insert excuses not to here]. Can’t push it off any longer. I’m afraid heads are gonna roll.Advice?

How many years did it take you to get promoted to senior software engineer?

What would your reaction be if the company you applied to asked for you to get permission from your current firm before moving forward? The situation is the company you're applying to is a client of your current firm, and you've already gone through the interview process with the new company. Thoughts?

Hey - any Canadians (valid citizenship or permanent residency) here with valid work experience (post education 2+ yrs) with Unity developing VR applications for the Oculus? Looking to fill some positions. DM if meeting the criteria - sorry no recruiting agencies or consult firms. Thanks

My coworker tried to tell me that react is an API….

I have been working in SEA region last 4 years. I feel burned out. I have 10yoe, I have try to move to other country but I pretty much suck in LeetCode. I want to take some time off to unwind, finish some personal business, and really prepare for interviews. I would like to hear from you. Should I quit to my current manager(5th so far) or wait after mid year performance review, when a new boss will take over my team? I'm thinking on giving them 2 months notice period. By contract is 1.

Thanks

Can you practice for leetcode without knowing how to code?
