I work at an IB in India. Have been furloughed due to inability to work out of office given the COVID situation in Mumbai and a respiratory condition that I have. Please suggest what shall I do.
Should I look at moving to buyside (can work from office after 1-2 months)? Is it true that PE/VC funds won't hire me because of furlough (bad impression)? Should I voluntarily tell them about my furlough?
Please help. Thanks.

I recently started my first post-college job as a software developer and have to make a decision pretty soon: front-end development or back-end development.

My dream would be to do full stack but thats not an option. Scared of getting pigeon holed. Any suggestions as to what to do / tips?
