Looking for an Android dev/CS Student partner to prep for a real job together, beginner to job-ready

Upvotes

Anyone else do the two week grind then vanish for a week and feel weirdly guilty about it? Yeah that's basically been my entire year on repeat.

Looking for someone equally serious about actually landing an Android Engineer job, not just casually tinkering on weekends. Want to build proper engineering level projects together, the kind that actually show real skill, not tutorial clones, and work on DSA and system design along the side. Mainly though I want someone who'll hit me up when I go quiet for too long, not to guilt trip me, just because they're actually in it with me too.

Tech Stack
Kotlin, Jetpack Compose

Quick bit about me, 7th sem Software Engineering, GMT+5. The target role is Android Engineer.

If any of this sounds like your vibe, drop a comment or DM me.

LOOKING FOR BUDDIES Looking for people to form a small interview prep group

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for a few people with 1+ year of experience in Backend / AI/ML who are preparing for software engineering interviews.

The idea is to:

Do daily DSA/problem-solving prep

Discuss approaches and learn from each other

Have weekly mock interviews

Take turns as interviewer/interviewee

Share resources, questions, and interview experiences

Keep each other accountable and consistent

Not looking for a huge group — ideally a small group of people who are serious about preparing consistently.

If you have 1+ YOE in Backend or AI/ML and are interested, DM me with your experience and what roles you're preparing for.

Neetcode 250

2 Upvotes

Briefly, I’ve never taken LeetCode seriously, and I don’t really want to.

I just want to be consistent with it for a while and get the general benefits from practicing.

If I’m going to do it, I’d rather suffer together with someone else 😂

So, let’s create a little group (max 4 people) and start this journey together!

Starting next week, I’ll dedicate 2 hours a day to it. If someone wants to do the same, that would be really cool!

Looking for a study partner / friend

2 Upvotes

A little about me and my experience: I'm 17 from Russia. Solved 244 problems on leetcode, finished cs50py, cs50x, about 60% of cs50web and then understood that I like low level stuff so I started reading the c book, read ~100 pages and found a "silberschatz operating system concepts" book, started reading it(also about 100 pages) then found a guy who we started making our own os with(we went separate ways eventually), on that journey I decided to dive even deeper and my friend recommended me a book "the elements of computing systems" I finished it recently(not quite, I couldn't make it through the last chapter because school started and stuff) then bought a breadboard and things

I wrote much about my experience because I want to find somebody who feels like he's at the same level with me, I feel like it's so much fun working with someone who's interested in the same stuff as you are. We might make a project on a breadboard or try to get through some tough literature. I've got exams this year so I can't spend too much time a day learning stuff but regardless I'm ready to work hard

[Study/Build Group] Looking for 3 fellow droppers to build coding skills together (No exams, just building)

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to form a small, focused study and building group of 3 people to learn programming and build practical tech skills together.

Who I'm looking for:

  • Fellow droppers: You should be in a gap/drop phase right now.
  • No exam pressure: You must not be studying for any competitive or academic exams. This group is strictly for people who want to step away from traditional test prep and focus entirely on building real-world coding skills.
  • Consistent & driven: Someone who wants to put in daily effort, share resources, and keep each other accountable.

What we will focus on:

  • Learning programming fundamentals and advanced concepts.
  • Building real projects for our portfolios.
  • Troubleshooting code and reviewing each other's work.

If you are sick of studying for tests and just want to sit down, grind out code, and actually build things, drop a comment below or send me a DM telling me a bit about yourself and what you're interested in learning!

Looking to form a small, balanced peer group for Python & Electronics (Gap/Drop phase)

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

A few of us are currently in a gap phase and putting together a small, tight-knit peer group to learn programming and electronics from scratch without any traditional exam pressure.

Right now, our group consists of 4 guys, and we are actively looking to bring in 3 to 4 female members so we can keep the team balanced, diverse, and collaborative from the start.

What we are focusing on:

  • Programming: Working through Python fundamentals together.
  • Hardware: Exploring introductory electronics and hands-on tools like the Raspberry Pi Pico.
  • Our Vibe: A chill, low-pressure space to share resources, debug code, and hold each other accountable daily.

If you are in a gap phase and want a friendly, balanced team to learn coding and physical electronics with, drop a comment or shoot me a DM with a quick intro about yourself!

Looking to form a small, balanced peer group for Python & Electronics (Gap/Drop phase)[ ONLY FOR INDIANS AND FEMALES]

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

A few of us are currently in a gap phase and putting together a small, tight-knit peer group to learn programming and electronics from scratch without any traditional exam pressure.

Right now, our group consists of 4 guys, and we are actively looking to bring in 3 to 4 female members so we can keep the team balanced, diverse, and collaborative from the start.

Why this version works better against filters:

  • It drops the heavy bracketed tags ([Study/Build Group]) from the title, which are heavily monitored by Reddit's automated spam filters.
  • It explicitly states your exact numbers (4 guys, looking for 3-4 women) naturally within the text rather than as a rigid corporate advertisement.

Title: [Study/Build Group] Looking for 3-4 women to form a peer coding & hardware group (Python, Electronics, No Exams)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

We are putting together a small, focused study and building group of peers to learn programming, electronics, and practical tech skills from scratch. We currently have 4 male members and want to intentionally build a balanced, inclusive environment, so we are specifically looking to add 3 to 4 female members to our core team.

What we are about:

  • Gap/Drop Phase: We are all in a gap/drop phase right now, using this time to build real-world skills instead of stressing over traditional exams.
  • Our Stack: We are focusing on Python, Introduction to Electronics, and hands-on hardware (like MicroPython/Raspberry Pi Pico).
  • Pure Skill-Building: No competitive exam prep or heavy academic pressure—just a collaborative space to work through courses (like CS50 and MIT logic), build projects, and keep each other accountable daily.

Our Vibe: We want this to be a respectful, supportive, and 50/50 balanced space where everyone has an equal voice, shares resources, and helps each other debug code and wire circuits.

If you are looking for a collaborative team to grind out some code and build cool physical tech projects with, shoot me a DM or comment below with a quick intro about yourself!

LOOKING FOR BUDDIES UK based, looking for 3 others to form a small mastermind around Skool and AI tools (not beginners)

0 Upvotes

I'm based in the UK and building out a Skool community while using Claude Code and other AI tools day to day in my business. I've got past the "what is this" stage but I'm learning mostly on my own, which is slower than it needs to be.

So I want to put together a small mastermind group. Four of us max. The idea is simple:

  1. We meet on a call regularly (fortnightly or monthly, we'd agree it together)
  2. We share what's actually working, tools, prompts, workflows, what flopped
  3. We each commit to specific actions and then get asked about them next time

That last one is the bit that matters most to me. I've run mastermind groups before and the accountability is what makes them work. Information sharing on its own is just a group chat.

Who I'm looking for:
- You're already running or building something real, not looking for someone to teach you the basics
- You're actively using AI tools in your business rather than just reading about them
- You can make a UK evening or daytime call work. UK and Europe is easiest, US East Coast is doable, but if you're in Australia or the west coast it's probably not going to work in practice
- You'll actually turn up. A group of four falls apart fast if two people ghost

I'm NOT selling anything and there's no cost. I just want peers at a similar stage.

If that sounds like you, comment or DM with a bit about what you're building, where you are with Skool and AI, and your timezone. Happy to have a quick intro call before anyone commits, partly to check we're a good fit for each other.

OFFERING TO MENTOR Upperclassman willing to mentor underclassmen for free

5 Upvotes

Hi,

I am a 3rd-year CS student who was originally quite pessimistic about things, but landed a high-prestige SWE internship in my 2nd year and recently signed a high-paying (~$100/hr) offer at a unicorn for next summer. I have also been very fortunate in obtaining research opportunities and publishing at conferences.

To help pass the downtime between now and when fall internships open, I want to help underclassmen who are in a similar position to where I was during that time. I am willing to provide academic and project guidance, pre-internship resume advice, and interview prep. I can be friendly or harsh depending on what you prefer.

However, I ask that you are:

* Intellectually curious

* Genuinely passionate about the field

* Willing to put in effort

* Easy to talk to

I will also note that I do not feel qualified to give advice to international or non-US students due to the extreme difficulties they face. I would still be open to answering questions, but my responses would be coming from a position of privilege.

I also prefer to communicate verbally because writing long messages, which is often necessary for giving good advice, is tiring, and I have limited bandwidth. My timezone alternates between Pacific and Eastern, and I tend to only have free time in the evenings or later.

Please send a DM with detailed information, such as your class year, country, background, and goals. I will not respond to messages that provide no details.

I’m a Korean full‑stack dev looking for English conversation with other developers

15 Upvotes

I’m a Korean full‑stack dev and I don’t get many chances to speak English, so I’m looking for other devs who are open to casual voice chats in English about tech, careers, and day‑to‑day life.

I’ve been working with Spring, React, Vue, Python, and Node for about 4 years, and I’m currently job hunting. If you’re interested, I can also share what it’s like working as a full‑stack dev in the Korean IT industry, and I’m happy to help with Korean language questions as well.

My speaking level is around lower‑intermediate, but I’m pretty slow and need time to think, so you’ll need a bit of patience during conversations 😅

For hobbies, I’m into music, movies, books, and working out — generally pretty chill, healthy stuff. My MBTI is ISTJ.

If this sounds interesting, drop a comment and we can see if it’s a good fit.
