7 YOE here. My journey has been hectic and at the same time rewarding. I'm planning to quit IT services for good and am hunting for a core software dev (backend) job in product company. Preparing hard for DSA and algo day in and day out.

Services are shit as hell!

Planning to build at least 2 passive income streams, just enough to pay the bills and guard against shocks by 40.

Out of my realm but I'd say, IT industry considers people in their 35-40 as the oldies and is no longer considered as the first option for any future prospects..

Long run is difficult.. better to find a passive option

Thanks I’m from QA and wanted to move towards management not seeing much prospects so I thought I should consider doing MBA or try to move out of this country

No disrespect. But the question wasn't about survival . It's more about having the drive at that age to reinvent and stay relevant.

Hello, in my previous organisation I worked in development domain (Oracle IAM Tool and Java)and my post was software Engineer, i joined Wipro as project Engineer in April 2022 and was assigned non technical project as an analyst.

I fought my way hard to get released from the project. However my designation is changed as Analyst. Should I ask for change in designation as I know that analyst is non-technical profile? Would my designation impact my future role as well?
