How people ask for it

5 examples written by Taskly from what people search for in India. Real tasks look like these.

“Mentor for a software engineer moving from SDE-1 to SDE-2”
I'm looking for a mentor for software engineer growth, ideally someone who has been SDE-2 or above at a product company. I've been an SDE-1 at a Bengaluru fintech startup for 20 months, mostly on Java and Spring Boot microservices.
My appraisal feedback said I deliver tickets well but don't own features end to end or speak up in design reviews. I want to understand what SDE-2 actually means day to day and how to show it in the next cycle.
₹2,000
- Two 45-minute video mentoring calls
- Written review of one low-level design
- Short plan for the next appraisal cycle
For: Early-career software engineer at an Indian product startup
Example task, written by Taskly. Yours can be one line; your Tasker will ask what they need.
“Data analytics mentor for an MIS executive learning Power BI”
I need a data analytics mentor who can keep me on track while I move from MIS reporting into analytics. I'm an MIS executive at a BPO in Pune with three years of Excel reporting, VLOOKUP and pivot tables, and I've been learning SQL and Power BI on YouTube for four months.
I've started three courses and finished none, and I can't tell whether my practice projects are good enough. I want a real plan, not more videos.
₹1,200
- Three 30-minute video mentoring calls
- Feedback on one SQL project and one Power BI report
- Reviewed resume bullets
For: MIS executive in India moving into data analytics
Example task, written by Taskly. Yours can be one line; your Tasker will ask what they need.
“Software developer mentor to review my React side project”
I'm looking for a software developer mentor to review my React side project the way a senior frontend developer would. I've been a frontend developer for two years at a mid-size IT services company in Kochi, mostly maintaining an old Angular app for a client.
I built a budgeting app in React, TypeScript and Vite on my own time, to help me move to a product company. It works, but I'm unsure about my folder structure, state management and tests, and whether it shows the level interviewers look for.
₹1,500
- Async code review with comments on GitHub
- 45-minute video call to go through the review
- Prioritised list of changes
For: Frontend developer at an Indian IT services company aiming for a product role
Example task, written by Taskly. Yours can be one line; your Tasker will ask what they need.
“Data analyst mentorship to restart after a career break”
I'm looking for data analyst mentorship to help me restart after a two-year career break. I worked as a data analyst at an e-commerce company in Gurugram for four years, using SQL, Python and Tableau, then took a break for family reasons.
Tools have moved on and I've lost confidence. I want to know which skills to refresh first, whether I need dbt or newer cloud tools, and how to talk about the break in interviews without over-explaining.
₹2,400
- Three 45-minute video mentoring calls
- Review of one refresher project
- Suggested wording for the break on resume and LinkedIn
For: Experienced data analyst in India returning after a career break
Example task, written by Taskly. Yours can be one line; your Tasker will ask what they need.
“Software engineer mentorship to move from QA into backend”
I want software engineer mentorship to help me move from QA automation into backend development. I'm an SDET at a GCC in Hyderabad with three years of experience writing API tests in Python with pytest and maintaining a few Jenkins pipelines.
I already code every day, but every internal opening on a dev team asks for development experience. I need a mentor who can tell me what to build, how to pick up small dev tasks inside my own team, and how to pitch the move to my manager.
₹1,600
- 60-minute video planning call
- 30-minute follow-up call after four weeks
- Written project and internal-move plan
For: QA automation engineer at an Indian GCC moving into development
Example task, written by Taskly. Yours can be one line; your Tasker will ask what they need.

Good questions

What people ask before they post this in India.

01
How much does mentor in your field (software, data, product, design) cost in India?
Usually ₹500–2,500. Each Tasker names their own price in their offer, so you see the cost before you agree to anything.
02
What should an SDE-1 bring to a mentoring call?
Your last appraisal feedback, a short list of features you shipped, and one design or pull request you are unsure about, with company code and names removed. Specific examples get specific advice.
03
How is SDE-2 different from SDE-1?
At most product companies, SDE-2 engineers own features end to end, write low-level designs, unblock others and handle production issues with less guidance. Expectations vary, so check your company's level guide.
04
What projects should I show a data analytics mentor?
One SQL project answering real questions on a public dataset and one Power BI or Tableau dashboard with a clear audience. Add a short note on what each project was meant to show.
05
Is MIS experience useful for a data analyst role?
Yes. Excel modelling, reporting cycles and working with business teams carry over well. Most people only need to add SQL, one BI tool and a couple of projects that show analysis rather than just reporting.
06
How should I prepare a side project for a code review?
Write a short README explaining what the app does and how to run it, list the parts you are unsure about, and make sure it builds cleanly. Share access to the repository only, not to any other account.
07
How does paying work?
Posting is free. When you accept an offer you pay the agreed price. Your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the task is done. If you don’t, it’s released three days after your Tasker marks it finished — unless you report a problem.
08
Who are the Taskers?
People who have done what you need: worked at the company, passed the exam, made the move. Every Tasker is reviewed and approved by a person before they work.
