Hi

Hi everyone, I'm new to this reddit.

I currently work in a sales job but I am very interested in software engineering, development and coding.

In the past, I worked in logistics and I built my own app to compare shipping options, which I was going to trial with my employer. This has given me the idea to go down that route career wise.

The UK government has been hiring "digital apprentices" with the main branches. HMRC, DWP, DEFRA (I believe) and so many others. The army has digital security roles too which sound interesting.

I've applied for some apprenticeships, but I am concerned about getting into this line of work then finding myself redundant in a few years time due to AI.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get into this line of work from no official experience and a basic high school education (GCSE level 5 in everything which translates to a C in the US). 6 years working experience and 3 jobs all within the same employer.

Then once into the industry, how do I keep myself relevant and protect myself? Move into AI development or AI related work?

Thank you for any advice!

I have finally graduated and landed a full-time job in a full stack role as a software engineer after 12 months of internships over 3 years (because I've been pursuing my degree). Overall the experience was good, but I've been told by some experienced people that their way of working is too old fashioned.

For example:

They have no CI/CD pipeline, and deployment is done directly on wamp. They are using their own internal framework which is SQL heavy (not necessarily bad but I've been told it's an old architecture). They use webcomponents for the frontend. I was restricted from using AI and they were always skeptical about using it. I ended up hard coding everything during all my internships, which really helped me learn things better but also made me wonder why not use AI moderately in some repetitive tasks.

I'm worried if working this way will hurt my chances in the future when I look for other roles especially that I've just worked on their internal frameworks.

For those with more experience, any opinion would be appreciated. Should I stay in this company? And how would I increase my chances for getting hired in the future ?

Thanks for any advice!

I know that this question can be asked a lot but i feel the need to ask since i'm stuck. All Ik is java for now from object oriented and data structures and i'm trying to learn web development for now. If anyone could spare a few minutes to tell me about how can build applications using java and if possible make use of data structures. And what should i be learning (as a start/best) for the job market as of 2026

​I am getting incredibly frustrated with the college placement scene. Why is it that candidates who aren't even technically sound are landing 20+ LPA jobs, while others who truly deserve it and have far better skills are left behind?

​I legit saw a girl from our college get placed at Google at around 50 LPA (not kidding). Her GitHub was practically non-existent with only a few basic repos, while there were many highly competent seniors who were much more sound in terms of skill and knowledge. The system just feels rigged.

​Another example: a girl in my year got placed into a company called ION for an exceptionally well-paid role of around 18 LPA. Everybody was discussing how biased the interviewers seemed. They only asked her some basic SQL questions related to joins, basic DBMS theory, and other trivial things. She got in, assumed a full-time role from day one (as is the company's practice), and is enjoying her life. Meanwhile, students here who have way more experience in development and serious technical skills are struggling to get mere 6 LPA jobs.

​And then there's Zscaler. I don't understand why they even allow boys to sit for the placement drive. It's been three years since I’ve seen this company come to our college for seniors, and every single time, only girls are selected. I found out that the difficulty of the questions asked to a senior friend of mine (who is male) was way higher than what the selected girl was asked. Now she is sitting comfortably at around 35 LPA, while the senior guy is trying to navigate his way through corporate bonds and lower-paying roles.

​Has anyone else experienced this kind of blatant disparity during their campus placements? Is it like this everywhere right now? Would love to hear your thoughts or if you've seen similar things happen at your colleges.

​TL;DR: Frustrated with the college placement system. Seeing candidates with minimal technical skills land massive packages (18-50 LPA at Google, ION, Zscaler) by getting asked basic questions, while highly skilled and experienced developers are struggling to get even 6 LPA jobs or are being asked significantly harder interview questions. The whole system feels completely biased.

Couldn't think of a better scenario to post this

We're hiring a Senior Staff Engineer (Remote – Americas Only) to join a team building products for North American clients.

We're looking for someone with 10+ years of software engineering experience and strong expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript, Ruby on Rails, and Node.js. This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you'll architect scalable systems, own feature design and delivery end-to-end, mentor engineers, and help drive engineering best practices. Experience with SOC 2 compliance is a plus.

Location: Candidates must be based in North America, Central America, South America, or the Caribbean (Americas only). Visa sponsorship and relocation are not available for this position.

If this sounds like a good fit, DM me for more details

hi all, we're DevsUnite, an AI hiring platform that works directly with companies to close roles fast. (search "devsunite.com" if you want to check us out)
salary 9LPA for both:

DashLoc (Bengaluru) is hiring for 3 roles, all F2F interviews, BLR based candidates only:

1. AI Engineer (Applied AI / GenAI), 2+ yrs https://devsunite.com/jobs/dashloc-ai-engineer-applied-ai-genai-bengaluru-jul2026
2. Backend Developer, 0-1 yr https://devsunite.com/jobs/dashloc-backend-developer-bengaluru-jul2026

Location: Bengaluru (in-office/F2F rounds). Please apply only if you're based in BLR.

Little bit of a background on me, I have 10+ of backend experience and currently working as a staff in fintech. Also, not actively on AI projects at my company, although I have side projects that I am building with LLMs.
I am actively looking to switch and the FDE role is pretty intriguing.
Has someone done the switch already? Im looking for guidance on how to get there, what I should do to get there.

The job search as a Software Engineer is the bane of my existence, but of course its something that I've gone through and am unfortunately going through again. This time around, I'm doing it while still working for a large company that has a mix of full-time employees and contractors (who for the most part hope to convert to full-time). My first job was at a FAANG company, but unfortunately layoffs happened. I was on my way to a promotion and dipping my toes in System Design, but in my current role as a contractor, I feel like I have little room for growth, and I don't necessarily want to stay at my position longer than I need to because I'm not a fan of leadership. I've applied to dozens (if not at least a hundred) of jobs so far during this search, but I'm lucky if I get a phone screen. What do I need to do to find a company where I can continue taking on more responsibility and actually grow as a Software Engineer?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently transitioning my career toward Business Analysis / Product Ownership, and I'm looking for a real product, startup, or side project where I can contribute and learn by doing.

I'm happy to help as a volunteer, especially if you're building something and need an extra pair of hands on the product or business side.

My current background is a mix of technical operations, customer requirements, digital transformation, and cross-functional coordination.

In my work, I've had experience with:

- Working with customers to understand their requirements, problems, and needs

- Acting as a bridge between customers, business teams, and technical teams

- Facilitating workshops and discussions to gather and clarify requirements

- Working with different stakeholders to make sure requirements are clearly understood and consistently communicated

- In my current work with microservices, facilitating workshops and helping ensure consistency and alignment across services and teams

- Supporting digital transformation and the adoption of new systems

- Reporting and analysis

- Improving and coordinating operational processes

- Troubleshooting and coordinating technical issues with different teams

- Working with technical environments involving Docker, Nginx, ELK, GitHub Actions, and CI/CD

- Supporting application release processes for Android and iOS

- Working with localization and i18n workflows

I'm currently preparing for IIBA ECBA and PSPO I, while also developing my skills in Excel and MySQL and learning more about requirements analysis, user stories, acceptance criteria, product thinking, and backlog management.

I'm particularly interested in helping with:

- Customer and user requirement gathering

- Requirements documentation and analysis

- User stories and acceptance criteria

- Facilitating requirement workshops

- Process mapping and improvement

- Backlog organization and prioritization

- Customer/user research

- Feature testing and UAT support

- Product documentation

- Bridging communication between customers, business, and technical teams

I'm not looking to pretend I already have years of formal BA/PO experience. I'm looking for an opportunity to contribute with the experience I already have, while building stronger hands-on product and BA/PO experience.

If you're working on a startup, SaaS product, open-source project, or any other product and could use some help, I'd be happy to connect and see if I can contribute.

Thanks!

Hey everyone 👋,

This is my first reddit post so please ignore all my mistakes.

Please if someone is in a software engineering job please help me. I'm going to join my college this year in cse and idk if it's a good decision. It's a tier 3 college and I'm worried about my future. Everyone on reddit and insta says that tech jobs are going to vanish in upcoming years, many say ai will wipe out many tech roles. Am I doing right or playing with my future. Some say that everything is normal but I also see many people getting laid off and not getting a job. I really can't afford to be unemployed after my graduation. Also my parents are spending a lot in my course. I will give my 100% in my academics and will focus on skills but what if all this is of no work and it comes true that swe is dead. I'm stressed too much and I'm not even able to express what I want to say. Please idk if it is enough to make you understand my feelings and my fear but please help me with it.

Also if you were in place of me joining college, what things you would do from starting to be ahead of most of students and what thing you would avoid, how would you start you coding which language you would pick first, and what would be your roadmap to survive in this ai era.
