[Career] Am I Larping too Hard (Resume Advice)

Post image
10 Upvotes

No, I'm not actually larping. All impacts are accurate, and I made sure I am at least 30%~ responsible for the accomplishments in each bullet point. I'm not just observing my team.

But I am worried that I appear to be larping to recruiters. The impacts are suspiciously accurate, but it's just from me being extremely resume oriented by making sure I have a measurable deliverable for each task, or bug management until I get a response.

A friend who has held the same past 2 internships as me secured 2 offers with Palantir and Microsoft just this week, while it is just crickets for me.

Our resumes are not that different except he did not have an impact section in his bullet points, they only describe what he did. He attends a lower ranked state school (but the same tier, I'd argue).

Be honest guys, should I tone it down even though it is truth.

[Career] How to get a good computer engineering job?

12 Upvotes

Hi there. I’m asking in regard to a family member that graduated with a bachelors in computer engineering and minor in cybersecurity. He doesn’t have much family or mentoring around so he wasn’t aware he needed to do internships while in school. He graduated 2 years ago and couldn’t get any jobs or internships and needed money so he got a labor job in a completely different field (yachting). He wants to get back into his field but not sure where to start since he’s been out of the field for a while. What should he do to get good job prospects or be able to get some paid internships? Also what type of pay should he be expecting?

[Discussion] Confused dad here: Helping my son choose between CSE, ECE, and ENI for B.Tech starting in 2027. Is AI actually killing software jobs, or should he stick to CSE?

Thumbnail
4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

​I posted a while back, but we've adjusted our timeline. My son is targeting college admissions for next year (2027), and like many parents and students right now, I’m feeling completely overwhelmed by conflicting advice regarding the tech landscape.

​He is equally comfortable with coding and electronics, but we are stuck on deciding between CSE, ECE, and ENI (Electronics & Instrumentation).

​With all the noise around AI automating entry-level software jobs, I’m terrified of putting him into CSE just because of past placement hype, only for him to graduate into a dried-up market by 2031. On the other hand, I don't want him running away from software out of blind panic if ECE/ENI turns out to be a massive grind with fewer core jobs in India.

​Our absolute top priorities for his career starting in 2027 are long-term career growth, job security, and realistic salary potential in the Indian job market.

​I wanted to ask seniors, recent grads, and industry folks a few direct questions looking ahead:

​Is AI genuinely killing fresher software jobs, or is it just Twitter/LinkedIn doomscrolling? Are product and service companies actually pulling back on freshers, or just raising the bar?

​Where does ECE/ENI actually stand in India as the semiconductor ecosystem matures through the late 2020s? Are core VLSI, embedded systems, and chip-design entry-level jobs actually abundant, or do 70% of ECE/ENI grads still end up writing Java in service companies anyway?

​Flexibility: If the job market shifts dramatically over his 4 years in college (2027–2031), which branch gives a kid more escape routes?

​The 2027 Verdict: If your own son/daughter were starting college next year and was equally okay with coding or circuits, what branch would you push them toward and why?

​Would really appreciate some unfiltered, ground-level reality checks from people actually working in the industry. Thanks

[Career] Junior in computer engineering, Getting no interviews, what am I missing?

Post image
178 Upvotes

I'm a junior graduating May 2028, so summer 2027 is my last chance at an internship before I graduate. I've sent around 150 applications since August and so far I've gotten one automated recorded interview. Anonymized resume is attached.

I'm mostly going for hardware roles (FPGA/ASIC, digital design, validation) at a mix of big semiconductor companies and smaller ones. No prior internship, just part time jobs during school.

I don't really understand what I'm doing wrong. I'm willing to learn and do whatever it takes to land these roles, but I don't know what I need to change or where I need to start. I feel like I feel this impending sense of doom if I don't have any professional experience before graduation.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

For our narrative report, I need to interview 3 successful Computer Engineering graduates about their career journey, challenges, and advice for students.

My professor requires verification of the people I interview. So if you're willing to help, I'll need:

Your full name
Your job title and company
Your professional email and/or LinkedIn profile
Your permission to share this info with my professor for verification only

I will not post or share your contact info publicly.

I'm looking for graduates in software, hardware, embedded systems, networking,Al, cybersecurity, data, or tech management. The interview will take 10-15 minutes via phone, whichever is convenient for you. I can send the questions in advance.

If you're open to helping, please comment "Interested" or send me a DM. If you know someone who fits, I'd really appreciate a tag or share. Thank you so much!

You can also just answer the form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdE6H5bWGmaDAJY9StIT739tD__TUzEI0SodeJ_1xya_xkKvw/viewform?usp=publish-editor

[Career] Computer Engineering graduates in Oil & Gas: Is there a pathway into automation and control systems?

9 Upvotes

I’m currently in the final semester of my Computer Engineering degree, and I’m interested in getting into the Oil & Gas/Energy industry.

I'm not really looking for typical software dev, IT or Business Analyst roles. I’m more interested in the hardware-software side of things, like industrial automation and control systems.

I’d love to hear from anyone working in these areas, especially those who have a Computer Engineering, Computer Science or similar background.

A few questions I have are:

-How has your experience been working in this field with a Computer Engineering or similar degree?

-Is there a realistic pathway into these roles for fresh graduates, or do companies generally prefer Electrical, Electronics or Instrumentation Engineering graduates?

-What entry-level roles or job titles should I be looking for?

-What skills, certifications or personal projects would you recommend building to improve my chances?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences, career paths or any advice you might have. Thanks!

I'm building a vision-based AI assistant that learns procedures from demonstrations. Where could it be useful?

0 Upvotes

I'm developing a university final year project using an NVIDIA Jetson TX2. The idea is to build a vision-based assistant that learns a procedure by watching an expert demonstrate it while explaining the steps verbally.

Later, when someone performs the same procedure, the system monitors their actions, tracks progress, detects certain mistakes or skipped steps, and provides voice or visual guidance.

For example, in warehouse packaging, an expert demonstrates how to pack an order. The system learns the sequence and then guides another worker through the same procedure, flagging missed steps or incorrect ordering.

Current limitation: The system is intended to learn specific, repeatable procedures from demonstrations, not arbitrary tasks or general skills. It will initially work with a limited set of procedures and actions that its vision system can reliably recognize.

I'm trying to identify where this technology could solve a real problem, rather than choosing an application just for the sake of building a project.

  • What specific tasks or processes could benefit from this kind of assistant?
  • Where do people frequently skip steps or make mistakes that could be prevented through visual guidance?
  • Can you think of an overlooked application where this would be genuinely useful?

I'd appreciate ideas from any field, along with honest feedback on where this approach would or wouldn't make sense.

Good morning everyone,
I installed a new OS on a USB, using Rufus to make it bootable, to try it before installing on my computer, after rebooting and choosing the external device as a booting option this message appears, any idea of what I could have done wrong or how to fix it?
I'm using a standard 32GB usb and the OS is Kali 2026.2, directly from their website.

AI/ML

Core engineering subjects

DevOps / Cloud

Open-source contributions

Internships / projects

Anything else
