Very hard to switch into software developer position bc you’d almost certainly be starting at an entry level role, and if you’re a good SC that means you’ll probably take a pay cut. Coding interviews are also much harder than anything I’ve done for consulting. Also also you will likely not be working for FAANG any time soon. Those kids are kinda unicorns, most software devs work for no name/prestige companies, and the FAANG coding interviews are the hardest. Also, also, also, software development in real life is a lot different than the tutorials you follow on YouTube. There’s so much workflow stuff they don’t teach you and the programs in tutorials are always simple vs the incredibly complex software built in real life, lots of different files and libraries, can be very hard to track down what code/function does what and where it came from.

I think you’re giving FAANG SWEs too much credit. Most invest an incredible amount of time into Leetcode, few are passing coding interviews off natural genius

U could try investment banking or modelling if you’re good at maths

Hi
I am a software developer with 2.4 years of experience and looking for a job change. I am holding two offers from bain and company ( software developer - 12.5 lpa) and neudesic technologies (consultant 2 - 16 lpa) . Which one should i join considering better work opportunities and work culture?

My company is adopting Scrum and hiring a bunch of agile coaches to assist with sprints. We got assigned our agile coach that'll be starting soon.

I read a description of what this role is supposed to be for and it sounds like they'll be leading Scrum ceremonies. So they run the planning meeting, the retrospective and daily stand ups. Up to now, I've been doing those and it's taken a total of like 2 hours a week of my time.

What on earth do agile coaches do with the other 95% of their time?

Hey!

I wanted to know if anyone had the same experience and what were your thoughts (pursue an MBA and leave your comfort zone and "good pay" or just stick with it). TIA!
