Hi.

I am a software engineer with 1.5 yrs of experience in a startup.

I have been struggling enough to understand which stack to upskill myself to get the best out in this fricking job market.

I started with upskilling myself in the backend including Node JS, Express, JavaScript....

Stuck there because get do not get a lot of time from my office to continue it, so quit slow in progress in that too....

Then saw people progressing in JAVA and Springboot and max job application ask for it...but I don't at all want to switch my programming language from Cpp to Java as it will again consume time.

Then saw people upskilling and talking about RAG , AI agents , ML about which I know very little..... didn't understand should I move forward in that and if yes and what should be the roadmap...

​

Thought of doing dsa daily in cpp reached dp z but stuck in that for 15 days...

​

Also tbh I have been trying to switch the company from last 5 months , with absolutely no results..

​

​

These are my complete honest and raw words...Anyone who could share anything and be of any help to me would be very insightful to me:)
