Hi all,
I am Partheban. I have 3 years 6 months of experience in
Java web development. I am currently working in a private firm in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. As far as I have researched, I think I am underpaid here for my experience (this is my personal view, I don't blame any one). I am paid around 17500 INR per month which is around 262 USD of which I receive only 14000 INR as take home which is 209 USD. I know the following technologies
In web:
Servlets,
JSP, Spring, Hibernate,
JSF and Primefaces, RESTful Webservices in Spring
EDIT: Sorry I forgot to include JQuery and
AngularJS
In standalone :
Swing and JavaFX(currently learning)
I was working for 2 years 3 months in a startup in Bangalore and then I moved to Coimbatore due to my personal reasons and then I worked as an intern for 4 months in startup there and then I moved to my current company and I am working here for the past 9 months as Web Developer. I am currently working in Java 8 and I haven't done any certifications until now.
Now I need advice from you guys on how should I improve and how do I go ahead with my career. What would be my next step and how should I prepare for it? At least when I move to the next company, I should be able to get a better deserving salary. And if you guys don't mind, please comment on the current salary I am receiving. Whether is it a correct one or should I approach my manager for salary hike or any specific comments regarding my career path. Anything that would help me in my career is welcome.
