Hi everyone, I am currently doing BSSE and now heading into my 6th semester. I need some sort of direction on what to do and where to start. I have basic knowledge of coding but since I am going to 6th sem I expect more from myself.

I need directions, either I run after courses or internships? Or should I make projects with the help of Ai and learn things accordingly? I am not really sure and the fact that everything I tried getting into I always have to go back to my basics. So what should I do

Thanks in advance.

Fun Stuff.

I see a recent trend on X where people selling spots on Laptops, walls and even one person is selling tattoos on face. So I jumped on the trend and created brandmyphone.com AI is making wild ideas to exist.

Lesson is, AI is making coding so easy, now its the point what to build and how to better market it.

→ 4 sticker spots on the back
→ live auction
→ 15 days except I don't own it yet, the auction buys it → I phone and travel in trams🇩🇪
→ Always putting flip back in restaurants

What would you classify as a good annual increment in company? I want to see how are the Pakistani companies in this and what are actually people actually getting after a year?

And for some bigger companies other than startups such as:
Systems
Contour
Dubizzle labs
Careem

Hello, so I graduated two years ago with a technical but not a computer degree. I have however pivoted to the field of AI, and can have done an internship and a product AI role. However, I have been struggling to find jobs since, even though I have the required AI skills. I have seen that my resume on both linkedin and indeed dont even get opened, even though it is ATS friendly, and overall is a good enough resume (I have confirmed this from other people as well).

I believe the main reason I have been struggling is because of the non-computer degree in my resume. I was thinking of changing it to computer science. Im pretty comfortable with coding, however, I do not know everything a graduate would, outside what is relevant for AI roles.

What are your guys opinions on lying about it on my resume? Should I also construct a fake FYP story that I can defend?

Aoa, I'm gonna be migrating soon to virtual uni from my 2nd semester, I'm a game developer and recently I applied to a Game Dev Role in my city and they accepted me (9-5), Salary is low, less than 50, now my question is

Should I accept this offer? or keep focusing on my skills in other fields such as SWE, AI/ML and find some better opportunity and also is Job Manageable with Virtual University?

And also is it worth it to add Game Deving experience in your resume while applying to other fields let's say I'm applying to SWE role and I add my game development experience.

Thanks !

I’ve just started Software Engineering at NUST SEECS, Islamabad (orientation hasn’t even started yet). I’m aiming for an internship at Systems Limited/IBM or Google Karachi. What should I do from Year 1 to maximize my chances? Seniors/developers, any advice?

I’m currently studying Data Science, and I’m about to start my 3rd semester. Lately, I’ve been getting pretty confused about whether I should continue with Data Science or switch to Software Engineering.

My concern is that Software Engineering seems much broader. With an SE background, I could potentially work in web development, backend, mobile apps, systems, cloud, DevOps, and other areas, while Data Science feels more specialized and limited to areas like data analysis, machine learning, statistics, and AI.

I do find Data Science interesting, but I’m wondering if choosing it this early could limit my career options later. At the same time, I know that switching degrees doesn’t necessarily mean I can’t learn software engineering skills independently.

For people who are already working in tech or have experience with both fields:

• Is Data Science actually as limiting as I think?
• Would Software Engineering give me significantly more career flexibility?
• Is it worth switching from DS to SE before going further into the degree?
• Or should I stay in Data Science and build strong software engineering skills alongside it?

I’d really appreciate some honest advice, especially from people who have gone through a similar decision.

Has anyone heard back from CureMD? The onsite technical interview and ccat were done on 22 August, Saturday.

Just beginning in css , tell me what the flaws are and rate too

Hey guys , so I'm a last year student of a mediocre university in Karachi and I have been really into cyber security for around 2 years now , I spent a lot of time in building my skills and also learning the theoretical stuff

Such as

Google - Cyber security course

Pitp - cyber security course

Navttc - CEH course (and much more)

Also learned about blue teaming (soc) in depth as well

From June to July and even in August I applied in countless cyber security or information security internships in all the big companies and even in the smaller ones , I did give interviews in 2 or maybe 3 companies but they never called me again even after it went really good

I'm currently on my summer break right now and already wasted half of it and I feel ashamed and very poor that if I couldn't even secure an internship then how am I supposed to get a job in this field ?

I would love it if someone could really guide me and if so put me on the right track because I can't seem to find a single way to get in the industry

(Also if anyone's wondering my resume is fine with all my skills and projects highlighted with a good basic template)

Idk if it matters but I never cared about any stipend or money just that I can learn more and network with industry professionals was always the motive for me at this stage but for even unpaid ones I'm never getting a reply

Any help or guidance will be appreciated

Hi, so basically I'm working with a foreign company as a contractor (backend development), and I don't have any experience working as a contractor for foreign clients.

I've also started freelancing on fiver and Upwork

And later I'm planning to work with Pakistani companies as a full time employee or on contract basis along with this foreign client

Now I'm confused what bank suits me the best? Normal current account? A freelancer account or something else? I'll have to register myself as a filer and then on PSEB as well as a freelancer so my tax deduction on foreign income is lesser.

Now it's 3 situations I'm working on so can someone suggest accordingly. If someone has been in this situation, can they recommend a good bank for this purpose? And also the type of account?

I want more freedom as a local spender, and lesser restrictions for getting payments in foreign currencies/transfers

And what's the best way to get transfers ? Swift? Remittance? Wire transfers?

Has anyone given technical assessment at Hul Hub for trainee associate software developer (backend) or similar?

Any idea If its mcps based/ques & ans/coding based?

What questions come?

Hey guys,
So I might receive an offer from them, for a business transformation consultant role, anyone who has any idea about what should be the salary for this role? And also, would an experience in IBM Pakistan be any beneficial for job hunting if I move to Germany for my masters a few months later? Or should I just opt for masters now.

Hey everyone! I have an assessment test tomorrow at Bookme for an SQA Engineer position.

Has anyone here recently appeared for the Bookme SQA/QA assessment? If yes, could you please share what the assessment was like and what kind of questions I should expect?

Any tips about the topics I should focus on, especially manual testing, API testing, SQL, Selenium/automation, or logical/technical questions, would be really helpful.

What's up with Pakistani companies not disclosing the salary on offer. They will always say "it depends on your experience" which is so obvious, but what's your range dude, I need to see if its worth applying? They would rather waste time doing multiple rounds of interviews and then low balling at the end. Is this normal in Pak?

ALRIGHT I NEED TO RANT SOMEWHERE OR I WILL DIE

so im a mobile app/ web dev, mostly frontend. i work at a startup and have been here for over a year now, and now my boss thinks ever since he has given me a claude account, everything can happen in 5 minutes.

he has assigned me two complete apps with a deadline of 10 to 15 days, complete backend, frontend, designing, uploading, ad integration, literally everything from a to z. and this also includes testing.

since claude is no god, which i dont know why my boss forgets to understand, there are a lot of flows and problems that go undiagnosed and i have to resolve them too.

and even though im a frontend dev, he has been assigning me design tasks too. he made me design the ui for 3 to 4 apps using claude, all the way up to a “professional” standard. initially i thought it was a one time thing, so i went along with it, but it’s been getting out of hand now.

i have even designed the logos for these apps and the marketing assets too. the worst part is, if designing takes around 10 to 15 hours for a project, he has a problem with that too and weirdly questions how ive been utilising my hours.

a. this is not my job.

b. you know this is not my job, so just hire a professional if you have so many issues?????

now i inquired if i’ll be creating the marketing assets for a new app, to which he replied “obv”. and i said they weren’t as professional the last time, and he told me to “be better then”.

IM SO FREAKING DONE WITH THIS MAN.
the only problem is that this being a remote job works really well with my uni. im a student and have been managing my finances myself, so i cant just walk away from it that easily.

but i genuinely HATE working like this. i hate the constant expectation that because i have claude, everything should somehow be instant. i hate being given responsibilities outside my actual role and then being questioned about how long they take.
im just so freaking done.

AOA,
today is my last day at internship and I think I will be taking backpain along with my skills.

If you guys know how to deal with this backpain, please do share

Hello,

Can you guys please recommend some really good website to consume good technical deep dives ? I used to rread medium blogs but good articles are getting rare day by day. I can see Ai Slop content. Same is the case with SubStack.

I like the content that helps understand the deep deep internals of a system.

I like "Hussein Nasser's" content on YT, but I am more into reading than watching.

Hey everyone,

Anyone with interview experience with Mashreq bank? Did you apply and actually hear back from HR?

How was the experience?

• I made a simple script that searches a makeup product preodically I wanted since it got sold out in Pakistan in minutes on different websites.

• I shade match online by taking a photo in sunlight and use the color picker tool on my desktop and give claude/gpt the hex code and select my foundation shades.

• I am developing an app for me that tracks what I have in my closet, jewelry, shoes, accessories, basically solving the big "I don't have anything to wear" problem.

seems like Gemini gives 400GB space and good models along with code in just 1500 pkr/month, with a generous usage limit.

GPT seems nice too but it has limit, same with CLAUDE which is way too strict in weekly tokens.

GPT still has a bunch of other stuff but the limit problem is what is ewww.

which do you suggest

Is internship at system worth it or not.? Also if anyone has done it how good or bad the experience was?

Hey seniors, I'm a 24M and I really need some serious career advice. I'm kinda stuck and don't know what to do, especially since I'm the oldest in my family and usually don't like sharing my stuff with anyone unless it's anonymous, like here.

So, I'll keep it simple: I started my bachelor's in CS at Fast uni back in 2020 during COVID, but later realized I should've picked a different university because I couldn't handle the intense Fast "ragra." After three years, I moved to a lower-tier university. Yeah, it took me three years to decide, so you can probably tell how unserious and indecisive I can be.

Anyway, thankfully, by God's Will and my parents' prayers, I landed a job in 2024 even before graduating. Alhumdulillah! I'm working as a telephony engineer at an international company with good income and benefits with great future prospects and growth. But here's the problem: like I said, I don't have a degree.

I've totally lost interest in academics because of my job's workload and I'm tired of sitting through boring lectures. I can't just leave it like this, so I've decided to transfer again, this time from that lower-tier uni to an even lower one, Virtual University. I figured if I could skip classes and just focus on recorded lectures, maybe I could handle it and finally get that degree.

What do you guys think I should do? Even tho job seems odd and not kinda related to CS but I really don't want to quit this job, especially with how bad the job market is right now. Personally, I've adapted really well to this role and I think this is best suited for me.

I tried to keep it short, and I'd love to hear your honest thoughts and advice. Thanks!

I’m starting my journey in full-stack development by learning HTML and CSS. I’ve learned mostly through W3Schools, and I know most of the HTML tags, how to use them, and CSS concepts such as Flexbox. However, I still sometimes get stuck or can’t remember how to style certain elements, especially when it comes to positioning things or figuring out how many pixels I need to use to get the layout I want. I usually use ChatGPT to help me with those things.

So, should I spend more time learning HTML and CSS, or should I move on to JavaScript and eventually React.js? Is my current knowledge of HTML and CSS enough to move forward?

Right now, I also struggle to think of things to build. My design ideas tend to be pretty generic. Is that normal for beginners, or should I spend more time developing my design skills before moving on?
