What skills are most valuable for recent graduates entering the job market?

What skills are most valuable for recent graduates entering the job market?- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am a 2nd year engineering student about to enter my third year, and I am still unsure of which skill to focus on to secure a job. I have a good grasp of DSA and was considering starting web development, but I am concerned about the high competition in that field. Could anyone suggest any emerging skills that are expected to be in high demand in the future ?

What skill should I start working on?

I have three younger cousins. They don't want to code. They have their clarity. They don't want to pursue any particular engineering stream as well. 

They want to get a decent paying job. Let's say 6-8 lpa start with a path to 15-20 lpa in 4-5 years. 

I tried advising them to not invest a lot of money and four years of time in engineering. Their family is average middle class financially. I told them that I'll advise you what all to learn like content writing, seo, data analytics etc. So do a simple course, save money and rather invest in something that matters for job. 

They did listen but did not get confidence to act. 
All three went for engineering stream. These are private colleges with tier 3ish names. Now they don't get time to put a lot of time because 8-4 is usually college time. Unlike tier 1,2 college where you get campus and a lot of freedom, the colleges usually have a lot of classes and compulsory 80% type attendance. 

Did you face similar situation? What did you advise? Do you think I was giving them right decision?

Did you try advising your cousins not to pursue engineering if they don't want to code?

Hello everyone,

I'm reaching out to the community with a shared goal: to help fresh graduates like me find software engineering opportunities in the field of Computer Science, particularly in AIML. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend my placement, so I'm actively seeking both full-time positions and internships.

I've been scouring various job platforms like LinkedIn and others, but it's disheartening to see any positive response. I know I'm not alone in facing this challenge, so I'm posting here to connect with those who might have leads or opportunities for freshers, and I'm especially interested in startup roles.

If you have any information or leads, please share them in the comments. Let's come together and support fresh graduates who are navigating this tough job market. Your assistance could make a significant difference in someone's career. Thank you in advance.

PS: Freshers, please like and share this post to help raise awareness of the challenges we're facing.

Seeking Software Engineering opportunities for Fresh Graduates

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I have 7 years of experience in IT with Mobile technology especially iOS. But now I can see there is not a big, long run and easy adaptive market in future to stick with technology. People with 3-4 years of experience can do the same what I am doing now. Although I have Team build and project management skills also but those are another level of headache. I have some experience with back end Tecnologies also and I love technical work and problem solving things. So I want to know want to know what I need to start learning next which is in high demand and high in pay and what are the various steps to learn those things.
Some suggest AI, ML things some suggest Cloud Computing etc but nobody know what’s it way to grow with it. 

So I need your help with some brief short guidance  for what I need to learn next. I am open for It.

What’s next I need to learn ?

Young SWE start with double digit salaries, while someone in Non tech will need 5-10 years to reach that level
Even the business roles, the direct revenue generating roles don't pay good traditionally

Funny how techies think everyone gets paid similar
A lot of it changed with startups trying to acquire talent, but not sustainable
Because the market simply doesn’t pay

How do non tech compete with this skewed demand-supply chain?

Hi folks,

I got laid off today from a YC-backed startup (W23) citing a shift in product focus. Was part of the core team since Oct '21, initially as an intern then later converted to FTE in '22. Got a decent (30%+) increment this year. I was leading the mobile platform but currently, I'm on a notice period. CTO is supportive and helping me via their network.

I'm a recent graduate and this is my first time experiencing a layoff. What should I do now? What things should I keep in mind looking for the next opportunity? 

Also, if you are hiring and looking for a full-stack engineer, do reach out via https://t.me/GrimBeard75

People have been going on about some skill being in high demand or claiming that a certain skill is bound to have a bright future. What do you insiders think?

What skills do you think are in demand right now?

This is mostly for people who have spent 10+ years in the industry. I’m sure we all can agree that the hiring and salary boom that we witnessed in 2021-22 is mostly over now. Now it’s more about surviving the job market rather than printing asymmetrical amount of money

But how has it turned out for people who’ve been in the game for too long. I know some people who switched jobs too quickly and are at a higher package but still not content. At the same time, I know a few seniors who’re still in my first company and are happier than ever with the work.

I understand that in Tier-1 cities, the expense itself is more and you’re sometimes forced to switch just to stay afloat. But what would you recommend new joiners based on your experience? Does chasing money in early years help later or only focusing on skills?

Chasing money or skills? What paid off at the end?

I recently read an article about the growing skills gap in the tech industry. Apparently, universities just can't keep up with the lightning-fast changes in the field.

It got me wondering - how do you all stay relevant in your careers? Especially with AI taking over jobs. Are there certain skills or certifications you think are essential for staying competitive?

In the rapidly evolving tech industry, how do you keep your skills sharp? Especially in the age of AI?

Hello everyone, I recently withdrew from my B.Sc. in AI & ML due to struggles with subjects like mathematics and digital electronics, which neither interested me nor came easily. 

I've come to understand that success in this field is more about skills than formal education. I'm embarking on a new journey with a blank slate in computer science and IT. 

Could you kindly suggest the skills and areas of focus that are currently in demand and trending? I'm open to tackling challenging topics if they spark my interest. Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thx,

What is the future scope of the PM job role...will it still be relevant after 10 years, Is going to IIMs spending close to 25 lakhs in this economy to get into a PM job role justified??
Context: I know many people will say you don't need IIM to break into PM, But considering I'm a 25 Male, from tier 3 college...currently working as a product designer with 8 lpa...so I think the only way to reach 25-30 lpa in hand by 28 is by joining IIMs
