(India) Need career advice.

May 30, 2021 6 Comments

Hi all.
I am trying to switch from eda. Should I target companies like adobe, msft or start-ups? I've always wrote code in cpp in my whole career and don't have any knowledge of system design , rest API other related stuff, but I am good with DS and algorithm.What do you think is the correct choice here? I know adobe and msft will be stable jobs and start-up are not. I am not even sure if I can switch to some big companies without any system design background.

  • If adding system design to your skill set isn't your priority, you can consider trading firms too. They look for good cpp skillset.
    Will be happy to refer you in case you need one.

      How difficult is interview with tower research compared to google?

    • I will use different rather than difficult. I applied for Google once and i was asked ds/algo in all 6 rounds.
      Here we focus on practical skills more. Knowledge of C++. If you are able to write code with best practices as per memory consumption as well as Speed. Exception handling where it can be factor. If you understand how compilers, os works internally and so on.

    Apply and switch to whatever best offer(TC/wlb) you get for the target role.
    You will learn everything while working, and if it doesn't work out then there are other companies as well.
    Keep it simple, don't overthink.

      I have similar profile of OP. Getting interview call is becoming difficult because i dont have experience on distributed systems.can you suggest how to go about?

    • Thanks for the advice. I just wanted to know that if at 7 year experience is it ok to go for adobe like company as there won't be any system design related learning. And most companies that I apply for ask for distributed system background.
