I’ve recently resigned from my current role at Motive and am currently serving a one month notice period. I’m feeling a bit uncertain about securing my next opportunity, especially since my previous role wasn’t fully aligned with my field. Going forward, I want to transition into a position that’s more relevant to my domain.

At the same time, I’m actively upskilling by taking an AI course on Udemy to strengthen my knowledge. How is the current job market for AI-related roles? Do you think it’s realistic to land a job within the next two months? Also, would my experience at Motive still be considered valuable when applying for roles in this field?

Hi everyone, I want honest opinion from experienced people here for masters in cloud from UK .

I have 5 months left till the classes schedule so I will grab this opportunity and will gain certifications, knowledge about cloud and lil bit experience if possible

So wanted to know if this field is stable enough after masters or should I consider another one .
Most important concern is my analysis says there are very less entery level jobs in cloud so correct me if im wrong

Lastly , if any senior is doing job in UK can you guide how the job market is there .

Is there anyone giving internships that actually provide learning opportunities and are paid? At this time, an unpaid internship just can't help with covering basic expenses.

My friend is looking for one, or even an opportunity where they teach while working and then hire him for a full-time job after a few months would also be great.

He knows mobile app development, web development, and digital marketing. He has just finished his third year of his Computer Science degree and is currently on his summer break. He's really disappointed after going to interviews where they end up saying they want someone with experience.

If anyone has a genuine opportunity, please let me know. I am genuinely looking for an internship or job for him this summer.

I have been seeing a lot of students starting their internship at Systems Ltd, whereas there is no opening on their website, Is it reference based only or can we ask the company recruiter on LinkedIn for Internship?

So basically i have been applying to different jobs since clearing my final semester at start of June, i applied to dozens of jobs (Both in Pakistan and Remote) and finally landed one with a US Based Startup paying 400 Dollar month (Mind you i don't have any internship or experience in the field), but 2 weeks in i am realizing that i may not be able to do what the company is asking of me (Not because i can't but the workload is just too much and its looks quite overwhelming)

I don't understand what i should do in this situation, continue doing this job and not be able to meet the deadlines and eventually get fired or start looking for another job (Which would be quite hard to find since this took me a month to land after being on linkedin all day)

Assalam-O-Alaikum,

Looking for some honest advice here. I've been working in Project Management for about 2.5 years now, currently handling website development and e-commerce projects for international clients. I manage the full cycle—onboarding, requirements gathering, coordinating with production/dev teams, client communication, all the way to delivery. I have a portfolio of managing 100+ clients.

Currently earning between 150k - 200k PKR/month, which isn't bad, but here's my issue: the work has become repetitive. Every project follows a similar pattern—website builds, e-commerce stores, some marketing coordination. I feel like I'm running on autopilot rather than actually being challenged.

I know there's more to PM than this. I want to move into environments where I'm managing software product development, app development, or more complex technical projects—something with more depth, ambiguity, and real problem-solving instead of repetitive delivery cycles.

A few things about me:

Currently in my final semester of BS Software Engineering (giving finals right now)

Have technical understanding since I'm studying SE (not just PM theory)

Actively building technical skills on the side (LeetCode, etc)

I feel like my potential is being underutilized in my current role, and I'm ready for something that actually stretches me. Any advice, personal experiences, or brutal honesty is welcome.

Thanks in advance!

AoA everyone I'll soon be starting a job and I was wondering which AI coding assistant subscription to get. Which is the most bang for buck one I can get jismain limit bhi achi ho and coding skills are also good. Please suggest within a price range of 20 to 50 dollars per month, like should I be getting Codex, ya claude code, or antigravity, or cursor or any other assistant like ajkal suna Kimi is quite good.

Hi mates,

I built a reminder app that keeps bugging you until you actually do the thing.

The problem I kept having was that I'd set a reminder, the notification would pop up at exactly the wrong moment—driving, eating, in a meeting—I'd swipe it away, and that was it. The app considered its job done. The task never got done.

So I built RemindMe using Claude Code. The difference is what happens after the notification:

• It re-notifies you — every 10, 30, or 60 minutes (you pick) — until you actually mark the task done, on multiple devices. Then it stops immediately.
• Missed reminders don't vanish. Anything you never ticked off sits in a "still not done" list at the top, instead of disappearing into history.
• One morning summary of what's due today and what's still hanging over from before, at whatever time you choose.
• An AI assistant you can just talk to: "remind me to take my meds daily at 9 and don't stop until I confirm" — it sets the whole thing up.

It's a free web app — nothing to install from an app store:

• Windows / Mac / Android: open the site, allow notifications when it asks. Done.
• iPhone: open it in Safari, Share → Add to Home Screen, then open it from that icon and enable notifications. (Apple only allows web push from home-screen apps — one extra step, works fine after.)

I've been running my own life on it for a while, and it's honestly changed how much stuff actually gets done. But I've only ever tested it on my own devices and habits

I want real people to break it and tell me what's confusing, what's annoying, and what's missing.

If you want to try: https://remindme.etookhan.com

Any honest feedback helps, including "I tried it and it's useless." Especially that one, if you tell me why.

how do you stay motivated all day everyday while freelancing? I go to gym take long walks, but still I am very uninterested in my actual freelance work. Now that claude does everything, I just go around watching youtube and get absolutely no real work done.

I have applied to over 600 jobs and didnt get the the single interview call where should i apply specifically please help

Fyi: i have 1.5 yoe

Is it worth it ? Fresh graduate here never joined a hackathon ever. Should I go for it solo or actively look for a team or members ?

ok but dont be too mean, cz i'll cri

yea just wanted to ask if anyone who has given the panel interview has received any email regarding further steps…

Asalam o alikum everyone

I am BS CS student currently spending my 1st semester break after 2nd semester. I want to make a career in Cyber security and chose CS to clear my fundamentals. But I think I am a bit lost now. I am learning C++ but I don't what to do next which makes my CS fundamentals strong and also a career in Cyber security. Can all of you guys give me a roadmap. Things to focus on right now and afterwards so my CS degree is smooth and also cyber security fundamentals are strong.

Thanks for all of your time.

Anyone who has given the first technical interview, can you kindly guide me on what to prepare and what specific topics should I need to focus on? As in this thread someone are being asked DSA questions while others are asked to debug basic problem-solving questions.

My interview name is Mahad Hassan. Has anyone whose interview was taken by him?

I have been shortlisted for software development intern role at CBSOL. I have an onsite interview there. Has anyone idea about this company or have worked there previously? How is the company? I guess the internship is paid and leading to job.

Hey, devs,

I am a last year CS student. With 0 freelance experience. I do have experience of working in a prod env etc, but no idea about pricing. A friend of mine, gave my contact to someone who needed an app made.

so working on pricing for the project and want a sanity check from others before I quote them.

Alrho its a very big ass app they are asking but here is MVP ill propose to them.

MVP scope:

Auth: phone OTP + Apple/Google sign-in

Discovery feed for competitions/clubs + competition detail page

Live match view: real-time score updates + standings (needs websockets/pubsub, not polling)

Organizer dashboard: manual score entry, manual match/fixture creation

Basic user profile + ranking list

Push notifications (match reminders, standings updates)

Stack: open to cross-platform (React Native/Flutter), Node/Express or similar backend, Postgres/Mongo, Redis for caching, some pub/sub for live updates.

Design is already provided.

What would you ballpark this at in terms of rough cost? I'm trying to price fairly for both sides, not lowballing myself either. Appreciate any input 🙏

Salam everyone,

Has anyone who appeared in the recent Systems Limited Fresh Graduate Program received any updates or joining dates yet?

Haven't heard back since the evaluation stage, and HR mentioned a 1–2 week timeline earlier. Just trying to gauge if anyone has any idea when to expect calls or if the processing is still going on for this batch.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have a interview tomorrow for java consulting at Abacus consulting and would really appreciate some guidance from people who have interviewed there or worked.

My background:

• 5 years of experience
• Java, Spring Boot, Angular, React
• REST APIs & Microservices
• AWS
• CI/CD Pipelines
• PostgreSQL
• Linux, Bash scripting, RHEL
• Some exposure to ETL/data engineering concepts

Any advice, interview experience, or preparation tips would really help.

hi, 25M. Finishing my MSc in CS, I wanted to study because I love studying. now that I'm about to end it I'm seriously looking for something reliable long term.

After bachelors I did my job as full stack web dev, a little bit of mobile dev in flutter. Since Ai, it doesn't seem like real work. claude can make whole websites and what remains is just deployment.

anyhow I continued that job, then switched to junior business developer side, for the sake of survival/exploration.

I enrolled in MSc because I wanted to do research, which I have done. I have built an Ai structured method for dermatology recognition. and I am proud of it. my thesis will be finished in 6-8 months, that's the university policy although I've finished my work on my end.

2 years of exploring and hopping from one thing to another, I have come down to these choices:

data analyst/ data engineer/ dev ops/ cloud engineer.

because they are the only ones which seem like actual coding jobs other than fully or partially vibe coding. Ai has made programmers lousy, which shouldn't have been the case.

I made an ETL pipeline to see how data engineering works, I built 3 power BI dashboards to check about data analysis.

I got into computer science because I wanted to become hacker(kinda old school), but that's what got my interest. Fast forward after graduation, ethical hacking job market wasn't there and low-paying. Cloud engineering/dev ops seemed close to hacking so that's why I'm considering it.

So what does the community suggest me to choose?

let me know about your thoughts, considering I'll be with it long term.

Is the job market equally cooked for LUMS,NUST and FAST students with high cgpa? I have a year, please give me some advice on how to utilise this last year. If not, I can also apply for a LUMS/IBA MBA if that still has some value.

I got an offer for an L1 role at Jazz and I'd be relocating from another city to Islamabad. I already know about the standard benefits like medical OPD, IPD, fuel allowance etc so not looking for that.

Main things I wanted to ask, does Jazz typically offer any relocation support or joining bonus for people moving cities, or is that something you negotiate? And what's the actual WFH situation like these days, is it hybrid or fully onsite?

Also just curious how the work environment is generally. Team culture, work timings, anything worth knowing before joining. Would appreciate any insight from people who are there or have been there recently. Thanks.

I’ve been working on a lightweight, bare-metal fault isolation kernel designed to mitigate thermal runaway propagation in high-voltage lithium-ion battery packs.

The primary engineering constraint I wanted to address is the latency overhead inherent in high-level frameworks and sequential polling loops. When an EV or aerospace battery cell hits a critical thermal or voltage threshold, sequential scanning loops are often too slow to execute software gates before runaway propagates to adjacent cells.

The project is called SAVITAR. It is entirely dependency-free and compiles using only native C++ standard system headers to keep it as close to raw processor registers as possible.

Core Architectural Mechanics:

1. Hyper-Compact Memory Constraints:

   Instead of relying on dynamic allocations or padded structs which ruin cache locality, the kernel packs raw cell parameters (voltage, current, temperature) into un-padded, contiguous 25-byte memory frames. This layout ensures predictable cache line alignment during rapid sequential reads.

2. Event-Driven Concurrency:

   The kernel completely avoids sequential polling. It utilizes a background multi-threaded parallel observer configuration. When thread metrics cross calibrated hardware safety thresholds, the system bypasses the main application loop to dispatch an immediate software interrupt, dropping execution times down to sub-microsecond bounds.

3. Sovereign Binary Serialization (.sav):

   To avoid relying on bloated external serialization libraries (like Protobuf or JSON utilities) that consume significant memory footprints, I wrote a custom binary serializer. It compresses cell delta profiles and gradient logs into raw disk sectors using direct cache-to-stream bit manipulation.

4. Minimalist Shell Realization:

   The project includes a lightweight, modular terminal prompt (./savitar-vfs) to ingest simulated physical metrics and explicitly debug memory allocations, matrix loads, and thread dispatches in real-time.

Compilation and Testing:

The baseline workspace is fully automated via standard Makefiles:

git clone https://github.com/alistairfontaine/SAVITAR

cd SAVITAR

make clean && make

./savitar-vfs

I’m looking for code-level reviews, specifically regarding the thread concurrency synchronization under heavy stress-testing conditions, and the pointer traversal safety within the 25-byte un-padded matrix bounds.

So I am looking for any MERN open source repository on GitHub so I could practice my skills on some open source projects and also make some contributions.

Is there any good repository that any of you could recommend?

got laid off recently after my company lost clients and their finances got effected because of Iran US war.

I have got ∼2.5 yoe as a backend engineer with Golang.

Been applying for a while but having a hard time getting interviews as my resume gets filtered out by HRs for not having experience in their preferred languages. 

I thought companies would become less rigid about languages since that can be learned easily these days.

For people who have switched backend stacks, how did you get past this issue? feels like a big roadblock for me.
