I recently joined an early-stage startup at 3 LPA as a developer. I had 6 months of remote internship experience before this. The company doesn't provide equipment, so I'm using my own Mac m4

I'm considering buying a LG 27' 4K monitor (\~₹20k) for productivity (less than 4k resolution usually don't work with Mac and 20k is the least)

But I'm unsure because:

\- I may switch within 1 year.

\- Next job could be WFO, making the monitor mostly useless.

\- If the next job is remote, they may provide a monitor/equipment.

\- 3 LPA is not a very high salary, so I'm hesitant to spend on non-essential stuff.

For devs, would you buy the monitor now or wait?

I am working in iit jee coaching and earning 30 lpa but i always dreamed of working in tech i graduated in 2024 what should i do how to enter in software

Edit: Guys i genuinely need help is there any way to enter in software i have heard in current market its incredibaly hard to enter in tech i want to enter cause i am good i can grow please help hure me if there ia any founder here i know nothing but i will learn

A 2025 grad currently working for a US based company remotely , had no hopes for employment from college but god blessed me , luckily got the offer in a hackathon/expo ( long story ) , Primarily work is on Full-Stack & sometimes ops related in the new sub products of the Org.

CTC around : 21LPA ( Joining year only , further CTC - 20LPA )
Base - 14L
Bonus - 2L
Home Setup Allowance - 1L ( around $950 )

been almost 2 years now , working remotely feeling stagnated.

I have two options now :

1. work hard & switch to Product Based Companies for a higher CTC ,
2. Abroad Studies

i am genuinely confused between two options since
1st choice has
PROs :

1. lil to no investment just pure hard work & luck for cracking PBCs ,
2. low risk high reward CONs :
3. Indian Tech culture tends to suck because of Work life balance and 2.the ratio of Quality Life for the amount of Tax we pay in Ind.

for the 2nd choice there is
PROs :

1. Better WLB ,
2. Quality Life

CONs :

1. a high investment and lil certainty of PR because of new Geo-political instability and
2. rising housing / inflation problems ,

so i am kinda confused regarding what decision to take , shall i grind hard & switch for PBC roles or take a risk and move abroad for studies ???

need your gen guidance & suggestions ...

Hey guys genuine question.

I have made a website using lovable. I want to deploy it to wordpress.

is there a ways to do this. could you send some reddit post link or yt link to help me how to accomplish this.

the websites doesn't have any payment integration. it is just a informative website which has to have a form to take in customer enquiry to share with the business owner. can anyone help me how do i achieve this ?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some help and guidance.

I completed my B.E. in Engineering from a Government College in 2020. After graduation, I dedicated myself to preparing for the UPSC examination. Although I cleared some stages along the way, I couldn't secure a final selection.

Realizing I needed to switch my career, I decided to enter the IT industry. To improve my skills, I completed a 6-month CDAC PG-DAC diploma and learned Java, Spring Boot, SQL, React, and related technologies. I've built projects and have been actively applying for software developer roles.

Its been more than year since i completed my course but i havent got any opportunity neither as full time nor as intern in any company. As Im already 26 now and father is now retired, its creating lot of financial and emotional pressure on me and my family.

The biggest challenge I'm facing is my career gap. Most interviewers lose interest after seeing the gap on my resume, and despite searching continuously for the last six months, I still haven't been able to get a job.

My financial situation has become very difficult, and honestly, it's getting harder to stay positive. I'm willing to relocate anywhere in India, work hard, and start from an entry-level position. I just need one opportunity to prove myself.

If anyone knows of companies hiring freshers or interns or candidates with career gaps, or can provide a referral, guidance, or advice, I would be deeply grateful. I am ready to take any job for now.

Dm me or Comment. I am ready to share my resume. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi everyone,

I've been job hunting for the last 3 months and have gone through around 18 interviews so far.

The frustrating part is that around 60% of the interviews felt positive. The technical discussions went well and I felt confident about several of them, but I still ended up getting rejected or receiving no response.

I'm a Java Backend Developer with 3+ years of experience, working primarily with:

• Java 8/17
• Spring Boot
• Spring Data JPA / Hibernate
• REST APIs / Microservices
• MySQL / PostgreSQL
• AWS
• SQL optimization
• Third-party API integrations

I've worked on enterprise banking and AWS monitoring applications, including backend API development, business logic, third-party integrations, database optimization, debugging and production support.

Location: Ahmedabad, Gujarat
Notice Period: 0 Days / Immediate Joiner
Open to: Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Pune, Mumbai or Remote

Honestly, job hunting for the past few months has been exhausting. I'm continuing to prepare and improve, but it's difficult when interviews seem to go well and the outcome is still rejection or silence.

If anyone has advice on breaking this cycle, I'd genuinely appreciate it. And if you know of a suitable Java Backend opportunity, I'm happy to connect via DM.

Thanks everyone.

I came across the Salon website recently and really liked the idea of having a simple website that is mostly just about the vibe.

So I thought why not make something similar for developers.

That is how Let Me Think happened.

It is basically a little space for coders to sit back, put on some lofi music and pretend we are going to finish that one task we have been avoiding for three days.

No big idea behind it. Just made it for fun.

Would love to know what you think.

I’m a Full Stack Developer with 2.5 years of experience, currently looking for my next opportunity and available to join immediately.

My tech stack includes:

• C# / ASP.NET Core / .NET

• React / TypeScript / JavaScript

• Angular

• Blazor

• SQL Server / PostgreSQL

• Entity Framework Core

• REST APIs / GraphQL

• Microservices

• Redis

• JWT / RBAC

• Multi-tenant applications

• Background jobs and API integrations

• GenAI/API integration experience

I’m primarily targeting Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai and Ahmedabad.

The roles I’m looking for include:

.NET Full Stack Developer | ASP.NET Core Developer | .NET + React | .NET + Angular | Blazor Developer | C# Developer | Software Engineer | Backend Developer (.NET)

I’ve started actively looking, but I don't want to fall into the “apply to 500 jobs and hope for the best” approach.

For developers who recently switched around 2 to 4 YOE, what actually worked for you?

• LinkedIn or Naukri?

• Referrals or direct applications?

• Which job titles/search keywords brought the most calls?

• Which type of companies gave you the best salary jump?

• Any mistakes you would avoid if you were starting your search again?

If you know of any .NET / Full Stack openings for 2+ YOE, especially in the cities mentioned above, please DM me or drop the opportunity in the comments. I’m an immediate joiner, so I can move quickly if there’s a good fit.

If you’ve been through a similar job search or found this useful, an upvote would really help this reach developers, recruiters and hiring managers who might have relevant opportunities.

Thanks in advance!

Let's say I want to earn 40 LPA for 5+ years of experience, Is deep knowledge of dsa(leetcode), LLD and hld is required?

I was said by my friends that not all companies ask that deep on these? What do you guys think?

Hi all, I'm Dhivakar. Been lurking for a while, finally posting.

I'm a solo developer from India — I build small Android apps in my free time, mostly offline utilities and media tools. No team, no funding, just me and a laptop after hours. Full-time Linux user, and I have a soft spot for 2000s-era software design.

Still learning the whole publishing side of things, which is honestly harder than the coding part. Looking forward to hanging around, helping where I can, and learning from people who've done this before.

Nice to meet you all.
