How to switch to a product based company like Microsoft, Google, Ubisoft etc. from a service based company like Cognizant when you have done your engineering as a Mechanical Engineer? I am very passionate about coding and technology in general. I would love to pursue my career in the same field.

Select a tech stack of your choice and make projects using it. Learn Data structures & Algorithms and implement them in those projects. You can sharpen your skills on platforms like Leetcode, hackerrank, etc. Do this and you should be in good shape technically after a couple of months/years.. that part depends on you :)

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

Hi Everyone,
I need your views and suggestions. I have two doubts:
1. Is it fair to leave an organisation (big brand) after a year as the environment is real toxic and there’s no career growth as well in terms of good work.
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.
