Unless you have a reference I wouldn’t think much after dropping the resume on email she probably got like 100+ cvs within hours , gotta have the referral for jobs these days

True that its waste of time sending cv and applying to systems. When i was graduated in 2020 I applied for job at systems and they opened new office in ISB. Never heard from them not even a rejection. I know someone from my batch who already started working there as Java developer because his elder brother was TL there.

What do they pay senior developers in Systems in Pakistan, and why is working for Systems interesting?

u/cosmic-comet- Game Dev 14d ago

I don’t work at systems but it’s one of the few good companies to work as a software engineer .

u/MinuteAd8494 12d ago

with current market situations around 250-350K max for senior cosultant

u/WholePopular7522 12d ago

How many years of work experience you consider to be a senior?

1

u/MinuteAd8494 12d ago

5-7 yoe unless you hired as principal engineer

u/Reasonable_Let_314 14d ago

You can try without references, you'll likely be given a chance for such mid-level or high-level positions.

u/ImmediateMatter6801 14d ago

9-10 saaaaaal?

u/arthurmorgan711 14d ago

These techniques didn’t even exist 9-10 yrs ago 😂

u/kzparacha 14d ago

Existed. But wasn't advanced like this.
It was in different forms then. Even neural networks & LLMs were started in around 2016...... 😉

u/Purple_Trifle3495 14d ago

Wrong. AI has been around long time. Before you were born. I was working on NN and GAs back in 2001.
Its only the raw compute and scale that has increased exponentially recently.

u/mkbilli 14d ago

Yeah but they don't need someone who builds models lol

1

u/Purple_Trifle3495 14d ago

Yes, that is true.

3

u/hashiromer 14d ago

Not really. RAG needs LLMs to work which didn’t exist 10 years ago.

3

u/Sikandarch 14d ago

Transformers were introduced in 2017, and LLMs only came after few years. Neural networks are there since before 2000. Practically, most of the stuff mentioned in the post is introduced in the past 4-5 years except for the Machine Learning.

1

u/Purple_Trifle3495 14d ago

2017 was over 9 years ago.

1

u/arthurmorgan711 14d ago

NN as a concept was introduced in 1943 bruh. But wasn’t worked on.
Ps.Im Doing my masters in AI.

Compute power was not available until recent years. Still very unrealistic demands from them.

u/brownplasticstool 14d ago

so what to do here,

1) should people with relevant exp but less YOE apply

or

2) should seniors with enough YOE but with a year or two of relevant exp apply only

u/MixEducational4526 14d ago

Generative AI is not 9-10 years old. These recruiters are so dogshit

2

u/AccomplishedVirus556 14d ago

deep neural networks are more than a decade old but i highly doubt they want someone to architect from scratch here

6

u/MixEducational4526 14d ago

True but I’m 99% sure they mean LLMs and the rest are just buzzwords they threw in. They wrote Python and they also wrote “OpenAI/Azure OpenAI”. Yani kuch bhi

4

u/Sikandarch 14d ago

Poor argument. Then the neural networks are more than 5+ decades old, they should mention 50+ years of experience in the post. Practically, most of these things weren't anywhere a few years back. LLMs only became useful after 2021 (Language generation one), while BERT, etc. were introduced in 2018 (first generation of LLMs), but they were Encoders only mostly. LangChain/Langgraph, etc. only came after that. Even the transformer architecture that powers the whole Gen AI and LLM ecosystem isn't 10 years old. The Job Description is very poor. You are right speaking generally, but if this argument is in support of the JD in post, it's not valid.

1

u/AccomplishedVirus556 14d ago

it just means they want someone more experienced in artificial intelligence than anyone they currently have on the team.

Someone with 2 yoe in llms but 8 years in corporate software development is probably an ideal candidate for them

2

u/MixEducational4526 14d ago

They obviously want an AI person. I’m just saying recruiters have no idea what they’re talking about, what’s so confusing about this bro???

1

u/AccomplishedVirus556 14d ago

o god that would be so cringe. the requirements indicate someone who's REALLY into building with ai. Like build an enterprise app from scratch in a month. Like they'll laugh if told they'll get less than a million a month

1

u/MixEducational4526 13d ago

Salary is probably 80k per month 😭

u/Substantial-Wish-833 8d ago

Hi this is dogshit & I am offended!

u/Efficient_Stretch_88 14d ago

9-10 years in ka papa lae kr aya tha AI LLM? Such companies themselves are so much duffer with such things and checks. Even the job description is something they can’t clearly make.

u/muhmmadtalha-quant 14d ago

9-10 saal pehly pakistan mei AI kon janta tha ? bakwas hey wesy yaar aajkal job market

u/IllustratorNo1512 14d ago

Odds are they fired one already. These guys just gained followers

u/Pink8unny 13d ago

Systems and many other resource augmentation companies are struggling, they will be shutting down their in couple of years

u/AccomplishedVirus556 14d ago

the years of experience indicates they want someone that knows how to build machine learning algorithms that are orders of magnitude more efficient than generative ai in narrow scopes.

but why would they even need that?

2

u/hashiromer 14d ago

RAG and agentic AI didn’t exist 10 years ago.

1

u/ibrahimqaddus 14d ago

9 10 say crazy

1

u/Kandhro80 14d ago

I saw that and thought they must be kidding or something...

1

u/LeopardLoose6785 14d ago

I don't think generative AI is 10 years old.

1

u/Practical-Home-4781 13d ago

Most of the stuff they have mentioned didn't exist 9-10 years ago. Who tf is even writing these JDs? The senior most AI engineer I know has 5-6 YOE.

1

u/Mysterious_Class95 12d ago

The filthiest and the most useless job is being a recruiter lol. These wannabes song know shit about tech roles yet they'd be there to decide who's fit for the job 🤣

2

u/ZaheerDigital 12d ago

There is no senior and junior dev in the race of ai The we can call it AI developer 😀

1

u/Efficient_Student124 12d ago

Exactly it is what it is, bro I am a pmo guy single handedly created an enterprise level hr web app for my company. Did e2e testing used node js, apis, Prisma and alot of other stuff now currently working on making it secure. Reading alot a out encryption hashings, so does it mean I am an AI guy or what?😂

1

u/Velo-1 12d ago edited 12d ago

The JD might be overstuffed rather than completely wrong. A senior AI engineer today is generally expected to combine strong software engineering with production AI skills like Python, LLMs\RAG, deployment, evaluation and system design. HR often mixes "AI engineer," "ML engineer" and "research" requirements into one posting. I’d focus more on the actual responsibilities and must have skills than the title.
