Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Specifically a question to all the t1 tech clg grads (mainly software engineers) earning 1l+ pm out of clg with a lot of scope for growth. Post mba avg salary is 1.5l per month. 

I can understand ppl desperate for a career change and non tech ppl who are underpaid and don't really have ab option but it baffles me why well paid folks would shell out 30lakhs kr take the burden of loan just to learn how to appear smarter than you actually are instead of investing it for a meagre salary increase that can be achieved by job switches.

I'd love to  hear any insights about ppl who've already been in the space. Why u did, salary PRE post sector etc

Why the heck do people do an MBA?

I can share, I was working abroad post my T1 engineering. So you can imagine it must be > 1L.  
  
 Like all those confused 20+ engineers, I asked one of my skip levels that how should one plan the career path. He gave me a simple framework, “Look at your boss or bosses boss. If you are ok living that life, you’re on the right path else time to think more”.  
  
 I got my answers, maybe try finding yours rather than seeking majority “votes” :)

That's not what am saying or pre assuming.

But the brain behind those supercomputers h100 and all, who is making LLMs train faster.

GPT 5.0 can do miracles and imagine 8.0 coupled with those 1nm GPUs.

I still believe that not 100% can be replaced but yes 60-70% roles will be redundant.

Top 10% will survive and thrive if ride the ai wave.

What do u think viners?

But this isn't the first time a tech exec has predicted the death of coding.

Jensen Huang says kids shouldn't learn to code — they should leave it up to AI

Coding will be dead soon

no, coding will be not replaced in the level of mathmatians and scientists, deep coding level.. yes it's going to replace common code that 60% of the world is doing. rest will be paid insane amount..  
  
 and also imagine how powerful one hacker would be if majority no one knew coding

Software Developer

Senior Consultant

Let’s say If, A big if, AI becomes self sufficient to do the job of a backend developer, like it’s able to write basic crud apps, simple system design stuff it can do and slowly it keeps getting better at debugging and stuff. (It should not need debugging tho) 

What can I as a backend developer do, to keep myself relevant in the market and always be able to find a new job?

How to stay relevant post AI takeover?

Software Engineer

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I work at a fintech company..
We have a engineering team of 35 dev which includes around 10 senior devs and the remaining are interns and junior devs..

we got called for a productivity improvement meeting by one of the senior developer and he just denied chatgpt for us..

Okay I’am biased here.. 
I agree we need to embrace new technologies..
But his point was to use chatgpt promts to write all of our code and it makes no sense..

He demoed chatgpt promts and was like “ see you don’t need to write a single line of code “

When we told we should not solely depend on tools such as copilot or chatgpt as it will not help  us as well as the interns and the junior devs..

You code to learn .. you don’t learn to code ..
Just by copy pasting code snippets for chatgpt will take them nowhere and I’m pretty sure it will confuse them even more ..

What do you guys feel ?

Entire tech team called for “how to improve productivity meeting” and they taught us how to use chatgpt

I know this is quite a sensitive topic but I'd rather face the truth.

A couple of months ago, I was less worried, but now looking at the pace of development in IDEs and tools to help with software development, coding has been made much much simpler. 

Do you really think AI will take away jobs?

Will AI take away coding jobs?

So, me and my good friend were casually discussing how crazy the job market is and how we are unable to get into a good job, especially when she has over 3YoE and is really good at frontend web development.

She then casually asked me "Should we be really trying this hard to get into a job that we like, as I feel that AI will take over a big part of the IT workforce in the next 5 years?"

Though we did have a friendly argument, I strongly believe that it still needs more time than that bcz IT jobs, especially we developers, are not just limited to coding. And given the fact that OpenAI is learning off of GitHub repos, which are basically code examples are averagely written code, not well written proficient ones. 

But, in General, what do you think about AI and how it is gradually dominating the IT sector ?

Do you really think AI will take over in the next 5 years ?

Nowadays, everyone is saying that AI will replace engineers, and it could be the reason for layoffs. This situation is making me more tense, especially as I'm primarily a frontend engineer (currently learning backend). If this is true, what should I do? Please guide me.

AI will replace Programmers/Engineer ?

Welcome to AGI Coming's Private Community

How are you prepping for the chaos that is going to come in the next few years?

Warning shots are getting fired in so many circle of discussion.

Here's my rationale on all of it.

There’s a lot of buzz about “AI developers” in the tech world. Headlines shout that the days of human coders are numbered—a tantalizing, but dubious claim. 

Startups like Magic.dev are raising hefty sums to create "superhuman software engineers." Their mission? To outperform and possibly replace human coders. Then there's Cognition Labs' "Devin," which raised $21M and claims to be an AI capable of doing real software engineering. These companies are cashing in on fears and ambitions.

One narrative is that tools like Devin will soon replace entry-level developers. 

Devin’s current track record shows it solves about 13.86% of issues on GitHub unassisted. While that’s leagues better than previous models, remember, a competent junior developer would do much more.

We shouldn’t be fooled by flashy headlines or orchestrated media frenzies. Devin is, for now, an advanced coding assistant, not a replacement for the nuanced, context-rich work that seasoned engineers provide.

Consider the landscape. Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot has already dominated the coding assistant niche for over two years, with 1.3 million paying subscribers. Pricing at $20/month makes it a tough act to follow, especially given the computational costs tied to maintaining high-performance AI models. 

Companies like Sourcegraph and Replit are also deeply embedded with their respective AI tools, Cody and Replit AI. The remaining space is limited, pushing new startups to make audacious claims to carve out a territory.

The startup game is about getting noticed. Cognition AI achieved near viral attention, taking a page from ChatGPT’s playbook. Their video showcases are strategic, designed to create buzz. But strong media presence doesn’t guarantee a product that delivers on lofty promises.

The seductive idea that advances in software will eliminate the need for human engineers isn't new.

In 1959, COBOL aimed to empower business people to write their own programs. Instead of reducing the need for developers, it created a demand for COBOL specialists. The cycle repeats. Each new tool or language claims to reduce the need for knowledge workers, but instead, it shifts the nature of the work, often requiring even more specialized skills.

AI, especially large language models, remains highly effective within certain constraints. They can automate routine tasks and provide coding assistance, but they are fundamentally "probability machines," making educated guesses. Hallucinations, errors, and a lack of deep contextual understanding limit their utility.

Five years from now, developer tools will undoubtedly be more powerful. But the idea that AI will fully replace human engineers is a perpetual myth. Instead, AI will continue to serve as an extension of human capability—better, smarter tools, but not standalone replacements.

In our era, it’s crucial to discern between hype and reality. Don’t get blinded by flashy demos and bold claims. Look for sustainable, incremental improvements that make you a more efficient, capable engineer.

Is the “AI Developer” a Genuine Threat to Jobs?

Program Manager

Currently I am in college 3rd year(EEE). Since there aren't really many jobs in EEE. I decided to pursue my carrier in software. So far I have learned full stack development and built some small websites to. Since the internship season is coming I have applied for a lot of postions on various websites but not really getting any replies. 


So my question is 

should i continue grinding the full stack devlopment even though competition is at all time high(saw 2000+ applications for 1 intern postion 🤡) and fear of AI(DEVIN)

Study AI/Ml since it's the trending topic. But there aren't many postions jn india 

Learn web3(solana +rust). Many people are telling there is no future in it. But I saw some of my frnds printing money in this tech


So senior software enginnering please 🙏 help your fellow junior

Can Ai take product jobs? Been planning to switch to either PRODUCT or DATA SCIENCE roles in 5/6 months, but kinda skeptical as what path I should go ahead with. Also with the AI advancing everyday and some tech bros taking about AI taking jobs makes me wanna wonder about the path I should go ahead with.Any recommendations will help, thanks. Currently am a java developer with 1.4 YOE and kinda find it boring (maybe its the project)

AI COMING FOR PRODUCT JOBS?

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said during an interview that they are working to make computers smarter so that people don't need to get a degree in computer science and learn how to program a PC.

They are suggesting that I buy all ai bullshit premiums.

And my teammates think that chat gpt can write a fully fledged application.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

So I am planning to learn ai technology like basic of LLM and GenAi basics will it be a differentiator in the resume as I am looking for Placement in college and may be any product based companies and FAANG

Will AI be relevant

Recently, cotester was launched which claims to be the world's first AI for Software Testing:
https://testgrid.io/cotester

If it really has potential, then somewhere down the line it will get acquired or someone providing similar solutions for coding will launch a similar product for testing.

If you are a QA reading this post, then this should be considered as an alarm to wake up and upskill yourself (if not doing already).
