Hi Fishes,
I am a python developer with 3+ years of experience. And now I am thinking of learning c++ . So guys can you help me with these questions which are coming in my mind:
1) Is it worth learning C++ at this stage.
2 ) If yes what kind of opportunities I can grab by learning C++.
3) How much hike can I expect by learning C++ on my current CTC.
Nvidia Intel Corporation Google Qualcomm
Thanks in advance 🙏🙏.

When is it best to leave consulting? Here's how I think about it.
First, are you enjoying it? If so, why leave (it can be a great life long career)?
Second, are you still learning fast? If not, you're missing out.
Last, what skills do most employers value? In my experience, this dictates 2 optimal jumping off points:
(a) 2-3 years in. Consulting "tool kit" is solid
(b) ~1-2 year into Manager. Employers value experience managing people.

(Contd) but quoting a low figure feels like axing my chances for a better pay. The trouble is I have had a couple of no gos because of quoting "too high" even when I tried to play it around. At this point all I need is a break from the crazy hectic consulting life money or no money.
This resonates, I normally start with my current salary then suggest I could go lower for the right holistic offer
But yeah feels like I could be leaving money on the table
1. Do your research before speaking with a recruiter. That way, you can give a number that is high, but not stupid high.
2. Give a wide range. Maybe your current salary up to 1.3x your salary, and say that it is open to flex based on work life balance, travel, equity and other job characteristics.
3. If they balk at your current salary (and don't make up for it with equity), you probably don't want to work there anyway.
You should not talk about pay at this stage. You should say it depends on the role and I would like to talk about pay later at later stages after understanding the expectations of the role better.
