Ask HN: What should I do next for my career?
by abhnv on Hacker News.
I’ve completed 5 years working as a MEAN/MERN stack developer. Although since the last 3 years,
my work mostly has been creating cli commands. I used to like programming, but nowadays my work has boiled down to writing unit/integration tests or just fixing bugs. The last major feature that I implemented was 5 months ago. I don’t want to work here anymore. Should I work on solving LeetCode questions, and aim to get into FAANG companies. Or maybe try to go to Canada/USA/Ireland for a Masters in Comp Sci, because I don’t have good grades in my undergrad. I’ve never faced any difficulty because of my low grades in undergrad yet, but will it be a problem when I go on to become a software architect in the future? I have stopped learning new things, and working on personal projects because of Dota2. I’m trying to leave it behind, but its hard. I feel very lost as to what to do right now.
