Hi,

I am having 3.5 years experience in J2EE and looking for a job change. Can someone please suggest as to what package I can expect in Mumbai for 3.5 years experience. Also I am from Mumbai so also considering tht there wont be any relocation.

Thanks,

In my opinion working in an IT Dept of an Investment Bank is not tht good in terms of improving technical knowledge as technology is nt given a big importance here.

Also there are no well defined processes in the project and its project management is haphazard which makes work more difficult.

Hi,

I do agree tht a java programmer must hv knowledge of databases, but being 3 yrs experienced I have quite a lot of knowledge in SQL. I am not very comfortable with advanced topics but anyways thts wht i even dont get to learn here.

Also if i keep doing sql i will loose touch with java. Thts wht i am more concerned tht in future I will be able to show only 3yrs exp in java and the x yrs in sql will nt be useful.
Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks Vivek & Ayub for the advice. I tried talking to my seniors but dont see any positive response from them. So the only option seems to quit as the workload is also so much tht i cannot keep in touch with java either.

In that regards i need advice tht how can i prevent being alocated to sql work next time and getting good j2ee project. Does it happen tht you are allocated to some other technology if you hv 3 yrs exp in java.

How can we know for sure what proj we will be allocated to. And also will giving this reason for quitting my current job be seen as negative by future employers.

Please advise

Thanks,
Sonal.

Hi Ranchers,

I am confused on whether to switch my job or not as I have recently switched 3 months back. Previously i was working in a reputed IT company for 3 yrs in j2ee & struts. I hd applied for my current job in j2ee.But the project i am allocated to has 80% sql work and remaining core java.Also changes in java are very less so we end up doing sql all the time. I am very frustrated as i want to work in java/j2ee but here tht seems to be impossible in near future. Tried talking to leads abt it but they dont agree to release before 1 yr.

Would like to get advise from you all regarding whether its good to change a job in such less time. And also wht steps can be taken to avoid such a situation(i mean more of sql work compared to java) in the next job if i switch.

Thanks in advance...
