Hi Fishes, I grabbed an offer at Accenture with 12 LPA fixed for Level 9. I'm not getting a retention offer from my current company at 13.5 lpa. How do I go about a counter offer with Accenture HR? Also tell me how to approach this situation smoothly.
If HR doesn't fulfill the counter offer, is it ok to accept 12 lpa fixed for Level 9 and when will I get a hike here and how much would it be approximately?
Accenture Please provide your insights. This is my first switch so I ne more exposure

I just started on freecodecamp a few days ago and I like it so far
Udemy. Pick some coding course that interests you (maybe Web development) and just start learning. Keep it simple at first and then maybe think of a Bootcamp to do for some cerifications.
I self taught myself React.js, node.js, react native, and php. I've build React.js internal applications for my company to increase efficiency and they are loving it (but I'm also not a software engineer). I completely self taught myself Python just straight out of necessity (graduate school work, tutoring, and now my current job) and I'm much better than most of my colleagues without any formal training. And in contrast, I took two courses on Java in college and don't remember anything.
Point is that you just have to START. And you have to just keep doing more and more. Its best to start small and cheap and see how you do. Jumping into a bootcamp right away seems intense.
YouTube had a massive wealth of knowledge available and it's all for free. I would suggest trying to find a specialism though, for example if you want to do Web based, front end or back end related things then learning Javascript/Typescript/NodeJS would all be good to learn, but then you may want to go down a route that's towards Machine Learning and AI and you may want to go down the route of other languages. Software development is a constant learning journey so never worry that you don't know everything to start with because even the most experienced of us can be educated by newer/younger more junior colleagues
I've been doing the role for almost years now, I'm still learning and I'll never stop. However I'd recommend finding a role you like the sound of, find out about the language used and the tech stacks if they provide details on the job listings. If its possible for internal job transition speaking to seniors in the engineering teams, the CTO, the department managers.. They'll be able to help I'm sure. You'll find many "road map to being a **** developer in 2023" some of them will help you get started
I have successfully made the switch into software development. Taught my self how to code using online resources. If there is a way you can dm me I am happy to connect.
What makes you want to move to software engineering?
the ability to make extra income even if I don’t want to switch FT I can still make extra
It's hard to actually get started without a degree. I know there are a lot of people without a degree that make it in but either they are very talented or they worked somewhere that had a software need and they were able to fill that need to get their start. It's hard to show up to an interview with no experience and just say you have watched some YouTube videos and expect to get hired. I would recommend either going the college route (or some kind of formal training) or come up some really good projects that can really show your talent
That ^^was great ty
I'm self taught, no degree.
Don't worry about the best path or best way - it doesn't exist. You pick something and start walking in that direction. I personally would start with Python since it is versatile and you can find work as full-stack, backend, data engineering, data science with it.
Anecdotally, it seems a bit easier to get a job as an entry level front-end developer (which would be JavaScript/TypeScript), but I don't know that for certain.
Cool. Very nice. It’s probably something I would do on the side just for extra income or to save really maybe not for a FT job.
