How to break out of SDE-I role

A few days ago, I posted a new blog on my personal blog.

Breaking out of Software Developer-I role as a web developer. Please head over to the post if you want to read the detailed description.

Here are some of the key points that I want to share here as well. Experienced Devs, please share your checklist as well will add it there.

  • Learn Database designing
  • Learn some DevOps
  • Learn how to debug
  • Learn to write tests
  • Learn about scaling issues
  • Learn a little bit about security
  • Learn about caching
  • Learn to review code properly
  • Maintain your personal websites
  • Help out new joinings and business guys
  • Ask for the promotion, when you feel like you are ready to step up.
