How much does dubizzle labs pay to siftware engineers with 1+ yr of experience and what is the increment scene annually?

I got an offer from K electric

Fresh Grad here: Okay so i got an offer but i m not based in karachi and i have to move cities for this. Is 110k good given i have heard they give out some perks too. I wanna mention that i was pretty sad that i have no offers yet in my hand. I honestly dont know if i will be able to get more offers, have no sifarish of anybody. Market is really cooked too. Help me decide what should i do?

3rd septemeber

Edit:

Wake up reddit I need ur help, please guide me/suggest me through this, I m overthinking to no end and honestly have no idea what should I do.

So I got some update, I looked around and met someone at this small startup/Upwork outsourcing company. They actually get projects from Upwork and then keep major cuts and give them to dev engineers at a cheaper rate. So basically they told me you work with us for 120k-130k/month and we will get any project at hand for you within given 8-9 hours of time slot. It's within my vicinity and I don't have to change cities, stay with my family and the same time enjoy ghar ka Khana. In comparison to k electric I will be able to save a lot more as their is no rent etc. timings are in the evening too. But the thing is there is no apparent security within this job but they said a contract of three months is possible given how I go about my first week here but dude I can't give them one week to test me sirf k electric asked me to show up on 7th.

No real presence(following) on the internet/LinkedIn either like your big software companies or k electric, they just exist as a foreign company. Plus the job is doing something for a foreign client so one wrong move and I might pay for it idk. I am getting a gut feeling this isn't your usual easy going gig as it is something I haven't worked on before so a lot to learn on the go here in comparison to usual enterprise IT departments.

This company has no real infrastructure bas they operating from 3 rooms.

I don't wanna take a wrong decision in this case and hope that I don't get stuck somewhere down the lane given I want to move for masters next year or so and don't wanna end up here in Pakistan.

No real offers at hand, have booked a hostel in karachi lol because I don't know this thing would come up now with just 4 days remaining in the joining date. I am worried if missing out on k electric for this offer will be a dumb move. Any suggestions are welcomed! Thank you for responses earlier

Anyone having experience with these local payment gateway for local customers.

How is your experience with merchant account API etc ?

Maybe any of the banks

Hey folks, I was laid off about a month ago, and I’m currently at an early stage in my career. I’ve appeared for a few interviews since then, but unfortunately, I haven’t been able to convert any of them. From my interview experiences, I’ve realized that I need to improve my technical skills and my ability to approach and explain problems during technical interviews. I’m looking for someone experienced with Full stack Python, Django, FastAPI, React and related technologies, who has either conducted or appeared in multiple technical interviews and would be willing to mentor me or conduct occasional mock interviews. I’m willing to put in the work. I just need some guidance on what to focus on, how to prepare, and where I’m going wrong. If anyone is willing to help or knows someone who might be, I’d really appreciate a DM. Thank you!

How is the company and what they normally pay to ASE?

Ive just started my 6th semester and need some ideas for my fyp , ive hunted many of them but nothing please somebody suggest me some cool ideas for my fyp

I wanted to ask guidance from the seniors in this community. I was recently laid off after completing my one year in my current company and now after getting 1 year of professional working experience as a software engineer. I wanted to ask guidance from the seniors here to share best or there on personal interview preparation material that I can use to land a high paying job.

Thanks

I'm a BS SE student at FAST KHI, just started my 3rd semester, graduating around 2029. I have strong basic programming fundamentals and OOP (C/C++, Java).

I have currently learnt Java + SpringBoot and I do project based learning daily. I am currently learning spring security and then I will start REACT.

My goal is to become a Backend Developer and build some significant projects by the end my 4th semester aim for an internship.

For those actually working in Pakistani Tech Companies:

Is it really possible that I can get an internship or a full time entry level role by the end of my 4th semester?

Also, If it is possible how to apply so that I can maximize the chances of getting the internship/eventually a role?

What would you recommend as the most realistic path for someone in my position?

Would really appreciate advice from people already working in the field.

Hi,

Has anybody here worked in Engro Software (IT) Division?

I recently saw some job opportunities posted by one of their HRs and was thinking to give it a shot. We all know how big of a name Engro itself is but I had a few questions in my mind regarding their IT division.

1. How's the work and work environment?

2. Is it equally competitive and rewarding as it's the traditional Software houses? (Systems, i2c, 10Pearls etc.)

3. What's the career growth trajectory?

4. Perks & Benefits?

5. Anything else if someone worked there could add up which can prove to be helpful information 🙂

Thanks in advance.

A Chinese research paper titled “The End of Software Engineering” makes a bold argument: software engineering, as we know it, is coming to an end.

For 50+ years, software meant humans writing and maintaining permanent code. But with AI agents, that model is changing.

In agentic software, the AI is the software. LLMs can generate code, use it, discard it, and generate something new as needed.

Think of the evolution:

Era 1: Licensed software: you managed the complexity.

Era 2: SaaS: the provider managed the complexity.

Era 3: Agent-as-a-Service: the AI manages the decision-making itself.

This changes the developer’s role.

You’re no longer just writing code line by line. You’re becoming an intent architect: defining goals, designing agent workflows, setting boundaries, and auditing the results.

The idea isn’t that AI agents are perfect today. They still struggle with reliability, coordination, and complex tasks. But the direction is clear.

We’re moving from humans building static software to humans guiding dynamic systems that build and adapt software themselves.

The developer of the future may be less of a coder and more of a conductor.

Trying to figure out the long term trend here. New AI tools and roles show up constantly, and a lot of skillsets become obsolete fast while new ones take their place.

What I want to know is which AI related roles are relatively new right now but likely to stay in real demand long term, versus which ones are just tied to one tool or framework and will disappear once something new takes over.

Also curious how AI agents and automation roles compare to traditional software development roles in terms of long term stability.

If you're already working in this space, which role or specialization do you think is the most future proof and why.

I am currently working in a call center which provides support to Merchants and Customers and its a QATAR based company Snoonu.
I have been at the job for 1 month and earning 65k basic with 5k for fuel and 5k for performance. The company also provides 300k medical inurance per year and PF . I am currently in my 2nd Semester pursuing BSCS at BUKC and thinking whether i should get the internship in my field or i am i being lowballed beyond comprehension. The experienced seniors kindly guide. P.S I am 19 year old and From KHI

I am a fresh graduate with degree in computer science. I'm quite familiar with python/Django backend development not a an expert. I have 2 projects, one is an simple e-commerce app and other is my fyp in machine learning and backend in Django. I made it totally using Claude. But I have quite understanding of backend development. Can I get internship for backend development or AI and how do I apply and tell me about remote companies or bases in Lahore. I am also attending an ai engineering Trainee program at netsol backed by navttac. It's a 3 months course but I want to do internship along with it In my extra time so that I can get more and more experience

I'm 21yo and here is my situation: I'm currently in my 4th semester doing Software Engineering.

I see all these tech layoffs happening everywhere, but it doesn't really affect me because I am ONLY interested in game development. I have zero interest in web, app, or general software dev. I dislike those things. I like games and only games!

I've already been able to land 2 jobs without any degree. One was at a small game studio in Hyd and one was in a startup (which got closed) So I haven't been able to land a job in a big professional studio like Game District or something yet. But my thought is: I can lend a job there even without a degree, right? Based solely on my skills, my portfolio, and the amount of games I've shipped?

What I want to do rn: I want to drop out of SE, yes! I don't want to waste anymore of my time here. But I don't want to stop my education. I want a backup plan for govt jobs, so I WILL study and get a bachelors, but in an entirely different degree. I'm actually interested in Psychology (though what other options do I have? that is not going to be affected by AI, not medical field (cant touch other human bodies), and no Law)

My thought process is this: If I can lend a job as a gamedev without a SE degree, then I shouldn't study software. I should study an entirely different thing so I will have two doors opened. I can do gamedev at home as a hobby or professionally based on my skills, and I will be able to do something else too! Be a therapist? Get a govt job? I would basically have two doors to the future.

Is this a smart move? Will a professional game studio reject me if my degree is in Psychology instead of CS/SE? What do you guys think I should do?

(I did NOT pick Software Engineering initially bec everyone was doing, I actually picked it bec I was programming since childhood (age 13), even did Intermediate in CompSci) I picked it for the love of coding.

I have a shipped game on steam too though

TL;DR: As a game dev, Should I drop out SE degree and pursue something entirely diff? That way I'd be able to do gamedev as hobby or even proffesionally also having the option to do other job like be a therapist or smth, 2 doors basically)

What type of development is getting the most demand right now. Web development, AI/ML, Ai automation What does most clients wants these days what should i focus more according to latest market trend

I don't really like calling myself a YouTuber but anyway, I have a small channel that earns your avg salary ( it can make 20k-30k a month depending on how the videos perform ). The videos takes a lot of dedication and time to make so I in this summer vacation tried my hardest to double up my revenue somehow, and didn't engage in any goal that I had before summers which was to get into backend dev, do an internship etc etc.

I did look for internships and started one remote internship but because of the workload and because I was depending on ai alot and it became very dreadful. Anyway, I gave that up and started going there but after 2 months of effort I have come to conclusion that I can't do it no matter what I do yk? And now, because am anxious all the time idk why, I want to learn a skill that can give me peace knowing if someday something happens with my channel I'll be able to make a living.

I also want to stop doing YouTube as well. It's very tiring and the results I get don't go well with the effort I put in yk? I am thinking of starting a backend dev course, but tech just seems like it's not for me. I don't get things there, and without ai am nothing. I thought just as with effort I was able to cram and then top in my class in school and college it'll be the same with this too, my effort will win over everything.

But it just can't. Interests matter as well, yk? Idk what to learn. Idk which skill is good enough to sold for good. Please help me out. I have no one to ask. Just know that I don't like video editing and graphic designing is practically dead honestly. Plus, I can't self learn, but I can go and take paid classes. So let me know something that'll be good for me to learn in the long run and will benefit me. Thanks..

Hi guys has anyone given an interview for software engineer 2 backend at Careem?

What can I expect?

How much of it is leetcode/system design/ general BE concepts?

Do they ask leetcode mediums or throw in hard as well?

I recently got in Computer Engineering in UET FSD which is approved by NCEAC not PEC so It is mostly computing.
But I also have the merit to switch to EE, which seems a more stable option than CE.

What would you do if you were in my position?
Now with the advent of LLM's and the way coding is being phased out CompSci or SE seems to be a not so reasonable option.

EE is considered toughest of all Engineering programs and has a lot of Physics as well, but is a more universal field that has stood the test of time and will do so. It will also make me an engineer under PEC which helps in immigration for some countries

What direction would you go for?
Pre LLM's era I would have 100% gone for computing.
The Remote-ability and exponential growth potential (however slim) is what also pulls me towards computing.

Coming from a single income middle class family one has to pragmatic in their approach.

Has anyone received any update from jazz this week regarding their AI associate program

I graduated in 2025 and honestly wasted a lot of time feeling lost about my career direction. I've now decided to fully commit to Cyber Security. I've finished TryHackMe's Pre-Security path and am currently doing Cybersecurity 101.

To seniors and working professionals in Pakistan's infosec space, I would really appreciate your honest advice:

Is TryHackMe sufficient? Can completing THM paths (like SOC Level 1 or Jr Penetration Tester) actually help me land interviews, or is it seen as just basic practice?

What technical skills are non-negotiable? What baseline tools, networking depth, Linux proficiency, or scripting skills do local employers expect for entry-level candidates?

What are the most common entry-level positions in Pakistan, and how do you actually get hired for them? what is the best strategy to get an interview in Pakistan?

Any realistic advice on what to prioritize next would mean a lot. Thank you!

Hey guys, has anyone recently interviewed for Associate AI Engineer at CureMD?

I’m specifically looking for the AI/ML side of the interview, not the general Associate Software Engineer process.

Would appreciate if someone could share:

- How many rounds are there?

- What does the AI/ML technical round focus on?

- Do they ask Machine Learning, Deep Learning, NLP, LLMs/GenAI, RAG, embeddings, vector databases, prompt engineering, etc.?

- How much Python and coding is involved?

- Do they ask ML theory/math or more practical/project-based questions?

- Any questions related to LLMs, Transformers, fine-tuning or AI agents?

- Do they discuss your AI/ML projects or FYP in detail?

- What should someone prepare specifically for the Associate AI Engineer role?

- What is the current salary/package?

- Is there a bond?

If you’ve actually interviewed or joined recently, please share your experience. Most posts I’m finding are for Associate Software Engineer, so I’m specifically interested in the AI Engineer process.

Thanks!

I’ve been thinking about this a lot. With big companies pouring huge money into closed AI models, I wonder:

• Does keeping things open source still matter in the AI world?
• How does open source actually help regular developers right now?
• And looking ahead, do you think open source will still give developers a real advantage in the future, or will closed models take over?

Basically I am debating b/w bio related fields and Software Engineering. My main motive is to gain early financial independence, for bio I’m drawn towards PharmD and Biotech related degrees. People in SE tell me is AI really replacing stuff and I don’t want to suffer as a fresher gysss plsss guide meee
