[@Nikhilgaikwad93]

1. Not focusing on one goal at a time 2. Worked in support project/old technology for a long time 3. Thinking I am critical resource 4. Competing with colleagues 5. Learning path & working project was different

[@Profbucks]

Spot on this clearly outlined what im going through as a Developer 5 years into it😅🎯

Your teaching and speaking style are too good and easy to understand the concept. Thanks.

[@interviewhappy]

You are most welcome Ravi

[@shaileshlokhande]

Thank you for your guidance sir :)

[@interviewhappy]

Welcom Shailesh. All the best for your career.

[@amkumaran]

I agree with your findings. I have gone through all of them. One thing i did not go through is i did not compete with my colleagues. I want to add. Couple more mistakes, i did in my career. 1. Do not switch careers unless you are very passionate about it. 2. When decided to switch job, do not search lethargically. Get aggressive in finding the next job. Otherwise time will outdate you

[@interviewhappy]

Great insight. Once you decided, go all in.

[@floatingthoughts8874]

Great!

[@youtischia]

IMHO not focusing on on goal is the most important by far. In today's world there are too many distractions.

[@interviewhappy]

You are right Youtischia, that is the biggest gap I am seeing. Discipline/ Focus is missing. Which tech is giving more package is driving.

[@shivarajub5353]

All of them are true indeed!!!!!

[@microsoftgraphExplorer]

Well made points brother.

[@interviewhappy]

Thanks .

[@nnbb69]

Not focus on goal. Getting distracted by learning technology which I am not implementing

[@abhishk192]

Good videos..keep posting

[@interviewhappy]

Thank you, I will Abhish

[@davidmares6053]

Hello Mr Happy. Thanks for the videos :) when they ask you to set goals for your career inside the company. Is it ok if the goals are learning new things? Or they have to be becoming a manager or something similar?

[@interviewhappy]

David, learning is a goal for you. When company ask you to write, then you have to write - for example: I will improve the code quality or I will add value by making a new software tool for customer and for this I will learn Java. Hope I answered your question.

[@basukunal89]

I made a mistake in learning AWS and Azure and also wrote certifications in it. But it didn't help me at all. My company asked for project experience which I never had as I was deployed into different technology. I invested time in learning cloud technologies (AWS, Azure) on multiple weekends but it led me to nowhere.

[@interviewhappy]

Many people did that mistake, but don't worry in future it will give you an edge.

[@KshetraShivalayaDham]

It's 💯 true all what you said

[@interviewhappy]

Thanks @ Kshetra

[@kundanranjan4120]

All the points are covered 👍. Btw after learning azure have you got the chance on working on azure?

[@interviewhappy]

Yes Kundan I worked on Azure also

[@kapiljoshi5603]

😊🙏

[@aravendrareddy77]

Hello sir , looks like what you have made mistakes, now I'm doing but I'm trying to come out from mistakes but it's not easy .I have been working on a support project for 5 years and i learned new technologies but not getting any opportunities outside.they are taking interviews for 45 mins to 1hr but not getting any feedback from them .still I'm trying 🙂

[@interviewhappy]

I loved your last line Aravendra. "Still I'm trying". You are on the right track then.

[@shivammadhur872]

You reminded me of my self

[@interviewhappy]

[@sarveshm6779]

hello sir, i was a .net developer back in 2019; due to covid i lost my job; and now I have gap of 4 yrs from coding for personal reasons (tried supporting my parents in local business); however, due to financial shortage; i want to get back a job as developer; but have lost my coding skills; im learning .net core and angular; will i get a job as developer back again;

[@interviewhappy]

Great Sarvesh, yes you can... first focus on only .NET/ OOPS/ C# concepts not Angular. Give interviews, get a job in .NET... don't care about salary initially and later you will thrive..

[@sarveshm6779]

​@@interviewhappy hello sir, thanx 4 replying; your interview series is helping me a lot; thank you very much for that. Also, want to ask; what package can i ask for; as i had 3 yrs of .net mvc experience; what is the package given for .net core +angular developer right now; i wanted to know thanx;

[@arunsolanki4822]

Hello Sir, I am working in service base small company, I am working in .net and react js, and as service base company I have to give interview in other company as they provide dedicated developer, But I can't crack interview in company.give me some tips. Thanks in Advance

[@interviewhappy]

Hi Arun, Keep giving interviews, prepare for important questions first and focus on OOPS C# first. Revision before interview is very very important. I have seen candidates have cracked a interview after failing in 30 interviews. Never ever give up. My best wishes with you.

[@Mr.kumar_engineer02]

Hi Sir, I m in cognizant and working in dot net projects.. Everything was allocated by default.. So I learned it.. But my interest is towards Data analytics.. What steps I should take to get in this project

[@interviewhappy]

First step is to learn Data analytics. Then start talking to current manager, other projects about that.

[@user-lh9zo7pt1h]

Can I learn SEO while working as a software developer. But I haven't any project regards,

[@interviewhappy]

Hi Arlo, sure I also learned SEO once, then UI-UX also. If it is your interest then do it anyway, but from job perspective SEO and coding are two different things in tech.

[@PrakashKumar-yl2dz]

Hi i was in development for 8.5 years. I switched to service team from product based due to pressure. Now i am working in support ( only excel work ). I am trying to switch another organisation, but due to 90 days notice period . No one is ready to schedule interview for me Please suggest me how to come out of that dead lock

[@interviewhappy]

Hi Prakash, I agree and this is a problem

[@pragyasharma3739]

That's correct its really a problem Companies put 90 days notice condition on offer letter but they want themselves want other people to join their company immediately 😢 Not sure how to break that deadlock. But try to perform outstanding in your interviews and ask company if they have buy out options they hardly do only in case if they need urgent joining and interview went awesome they might do ,but there is recession going on hardly anyone giving hike or interview calls it could be also the reason.

[@pragyasharma3739]

I completed 5 years experience and in Accenture its my 2nd company, the story totally matches with me also demoted one too.....😅

[@RaviKumar-yj7hu]

Is this right to switch career after 10 years to blockchain or data science

[@interviewhappy]

Hi Ravi, I know people thinking blockchain and data science are very simple. First please learn it and check your interest and then decide.

[@nitishbaral]

My btech passout year was 2013 After passout I have done dot net course but after dot net I have prepared for IES but not get clear yet so I think I am going to make a carrier in dot net . I also attended many interviews but not get selected So that is my story,sir

[@interviewhappy]

Hi Nitish, sure man, number of interviews doesn't matter. You I think got 1 attempt per year in IES. Here in .NET you will get many. Do some short project online, go through interview questions. And one day you will get it and then there is no looking back.

[@nitishbaral]

Thank u very much sir🙏

[@soniya4240]

Sir i am . Net develpoer. I learned aws cloud 75 per but i not using this and i am forgetting Perviously learn. Is cloud technology like aws is useful for me

[@interviewhappy]

Soniya, it's very useful. There is no doubt in it. Just be on it, and try to find a project which has both .Net and AWS.

[@soniya4240]

@@interviewhappy thank you sir.. Your . Net and angular interview series help me to cracked interview.. I am very thankful to you. I watched 5 time and got best result.

[@interviewhappy]

@@soniya4240 Congrats Soniya.. This is my main goal. All the best for your future career.

[@ritisha777]

@InterviewHappy What if you have 12-13 years of experience and you are getting promoted every 2 -3 years(sometimes every year) and getting good appraisal every year (12-15%) but you never won any awards? Is it concerning for your career growth or it is just to boost the morale of the employee that employer acknowledge your work and dedication. I see same people are awarded every year looks like they have same list of employees to give away awards. What is your point of view on this? Is it important to win any awards in your career?

[@interviewhappy]

Hey Diksha, my thinking is like Aamir khan, I don't believe in awards. They are mostly manipulated. If you are given some award, but not good appraisal or salary then what is the point. Vice versa is better.

[@ritisha777]

@@interviewhappy Hmm agree! Thanks for the quick reply 🙂

[@rubuldey242]

Hi Sir, I have 9 years of experience 7.8 years in development (.Net & Sitecore) and 1.4-1.5 years now as Manager. I am not able to come out of this role. I am mentally broken. Please suggest 🙏

[@interviewhappy]

If you are not satisfied with your manager role, then talk to your seniors and start side hustle for desired role. Hard work is better than stress.

[@rubuldey242]

Sure, Thank You
