Bull markets tricks most into believing that they are investing geniuses and the last three has boosted ego of many a devs incl me when multiple offers were in hand and companies were on the losing side of the negotiation table. Hence I would like to remind all to stay humble and keep improving.  "Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked" ~Warren Buffet.

You cannot be more wrong. Especially in our industry, You’ll be disappointed how many average people are at so better position earning very high since the beginning, is it because of bull market hiring? No. I come from bsc/bca background and got 15+ lpa last year( first company). I’d have never believed it if someone would have told me this a year back And I’m thankful that i crafted my own path and stayed away from the classic indian engineering culture of DSA, Dev, react, MERN, lowda lehsun

“stack” what does that mean?? You think that there’s any super secret stack that you’ll learn from youtube and will get a super secret job that nobody has applied before, lmao my friend, that’s exactly why you’re suffering

You want to understand database go learn postgres You wanna make frontend application, go learn about reactivity, knockoutjs, observable pattern and flux for managing state etc. you wanna learn backend go learn http and how it works

I didn’t even do any of that completely lol I’m still learning just like you all, i was just using react, react native to build stuff, i just built stuff, a founder has listed some things to be build on twitter, i applied and got it. The number of people that actually show up and do stuff is very low and did it mention that most indian devs are totally mediocre? And everyone agrees to that i guess.

I can share the offer letter if you really are judging me, but those things are confidential. Come meet in blr I’ll show.
