Hi, just reaching out to people working in core technology and engineering (Not IT, Consulting, PM, UI/UX People) for general discussion on the state of R&D in India, your pay, comparisons to IT folks by your family friends etc. You may be working in R&D as an engineer or building some deep tech product as an entrepreneur Non exclusive list Mechanical/Chemical/Material engineers People working on Drones/Robots/Transportation/Defense Tech
I am missing a lot of fields here, but I believe there are lot of communities out there of software engineers, design folks, MBAs, not much of the hands on engineers in India
Core Engineering Graduate openings have been zero for a generation, atleast from the colleges of my circle. No new positions, only replacements.
Excited to see if anyone is on Grapevine.
How much do you know about the Core Engineering job market? Your profile says Investment Manager, do you have a background in Core Engineering, how updated is your knowledge in this?
From what I see there are a considerable amount of jobs out there, but the applying folks are just not to the par, and job requirements and people skills/experience do not match up in many cases
I have no knowledge. As I said, these jobs dint came to campuses I have friends from.
It hurts to be excluded from list of what is considered engineering, SW Engineering is not engineering 😓
If you are working on compilers, languages, algorithms etc, then you are a core engineer, In my humble opinion most software "engineers" who develop applications are just glorified electricians and plumbers. Same goes for Mechanical "Engineers" who just know how to use CAD applications, Sorry, not trying to be offensive, just my opinion. I too do a similar kind of application development at my job besides machine design
Hurt is not coming from ego being hurt but understanding that the livelihood earning from what is considered beneath engineering, so many lives dependent on it, some many life challenges being handled by money earned from this, children future depended on it, confidence of facing health scare, fightback against frauds, scheming relatives.
After spending thousands and thousands of hours working honestly facing psychotic managers, making life long friends with teamates, if to be rejected and dismissed as lesser being, it feels dejection.
I burnt my hands with deep tech lol. Tried AI before the AI wave. Connected with many VCs who were interested but Co-founder wasn't the right fit, even though it was his idea mostly.
Similar product being built by someone else now though, good to see. Shared some feedback and learnings with him.
I work as a software engineer (Backend) at a startup ( valued over $200m). Most of my revolves around designing and building applications using python based frameworks (Django, flask, fast api). Integrating AI models to the backend, no...
Hi all, I graduated from IIT Delhi and have been working at well established startup since. So for a while I have been wondering why we don't have any deep tech startups doing innovation. Don't get me wrong, there are startups doing inn...
I see that this channel mostly contains threads that are irrelevant to real software engineering! No one talks about building software or designing stuff. Is salary discussion and a job switch what most Indian Engineers really care about...
