Web Design Best Practices for New Developers

How to Create Portfolio-Worthy Work  – Web Design Best Practices for New Developers by SARAL GUPTA If you're a beginner developer, it can be difficult to find ways to use your limited knowledge to support yourself. And at the same time, you won't be able to hone your skills if you aren't using them full time. It's a precarious spot that I remember being in when I was starting out (much longer ago than I care to admit). And if you're anything like me, you'll probably end up taking on freelance web development work to make ends meet.

REMOTE WORKFORCE

The Taboo Of Remote Working And Hiring In India Companies might drumbeat about WFH, but many hiring managers still breathe an audible sigh when a WFH request lands on their desk The Taboo Of Remote Working And Hiring In India As fresh graduates looking for jobs, I remember my peers and I being wowed by the WFH (work from home) concept. We were all looking for a Google-style workplace which didn’t mind us taking naps while on the clock, or coding from a place that wasn’t ‘office’. A decade later, I see how WFH (and with the pandemic; work-from-anywhere) has become a reluctant norm across India. Companies might display it in bold type on their EVPs, but many hiring managers still breathe an audible sigh when a WFH request lands on their desk. It doesn’t stop there, however. Ask managers in India if they would be comfortable with hiring reportees in a different geography, and a litany of ifs and buts will ensue. I have a few thoughts as to why that might be.
