Its hard but doable, I would try to jump asap (when hiring freezes are over). More senior jumps can be harder.

I see, hope the market goes back up soon. Thanks!

Recently started in a “one above entry level” position and am surprised at how little technical work onshore US based “engineers” do. Most of the technical (dev) work is usually done by offshore. In my observation, all onshore does is run offshore code in prod (because offshore doesn’t often have access), do quality assurance (QA) on offshore deliverables, and distill new requirements for offshore to build. The core development function seems to have been offshored; all onshore does is validate/check things and client management (aka functional work). This is a dynamic that seems to naturally emerge given that onshore folks are in meetings all day, and offshore team members can’t really join too many meetings, hence have ample time to engage in actual dev tasks. Eventually, the endgame for onshore engineers seems to be to get promoted into a management role where their lack of hands on technical experience wouldn’t matter and then supervise other engineers who will do the actual technical work. Essentially, a lot of entry level onshore engineers I’ve encountered end up doing “management by proxy” jobs since their own managers are over burdened. This includes scheduling meetings, chasing after other individual contributors, making timelines, managing offshore team members and other client stakeholders. Can anyone else provide a perspective? Do onshore engineers get to build anything?

Very unlikely for many roles.

You are aiming for a moderately technical role.
If you don't have deep tech skills and experience - you can't get the role.

Unfortunately it's super rare for people to get that level of experience while in a consulting firm.

I'm not going to say it doesn't happen....but it's rare

You need very deep technical skillset. You are going to build architecture and not just something that gets put on a slide and forgotten.

I know super smart solution architects at B4. Issue is that at M level and beyond , they want to you focus on many other things and the more you stay at that level, more you start losing tech skills. You will gain consulting and presentation skills. So if your target is big tech, try now vs taking the B4 route
