Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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,

Recently, I've been observing a concerning trend that I haven't observed before in my 5 years in this industry. 

A large no. of job openings are coming up at mid-sized companies and startups that require 5+ years of experience but pay 7-12 LPA. One of these companies even used to pay a decent more when I'd applied to it a few years before

Does anyone have insights on the root causes behind this trend and how it will shape up the job market going forward?

My hypotheses on root causes:-
(1) Bad job market
(2) Advent of AI

Insane number of low paying software jobs

Software Developer

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 am currently working on EXO(exchange online). I want to upskill and after watching how rapidly technology keeps evolving I am not sure what would be the right roadmap.
Need suggestions what could be the skills that I should add that would be beneficial for future prospects as well.

Software Engineer

I am currently in a company with 8.55 lpa ctc ( just graduated this year btech cse) . We do python databricks also sql server and IICS .( basically data engineering ) . I don't want to do data engineering. I want to learn something else which is exciting and will give me more pay . So now I am learning Golang but stackoverflow survey says that zig language pays the highest ( quite strange ) . So I want to ask Industry experts what is the hot tech right now , what should I learn which is interesting as well as pays more ?

Which technology/programming language should I learn next

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?

A lot of noise around AI taking coding jobs, which i fear might be real. Like not completely but you get my point. So how should one upskill themselves (especially the average folks, top 1/2% will not be affected in any field imo) for the upcoming shift? Like will data analytics/science or maybe ai/ml engineering jobs be on rise ? Should be start upskilling in those fields or any other suggestions? I would really like to know it from someone who has good experience in the industry or someone with good insight. Thanks

Jobs which will be created /not impacted by AI

Hey community folks, 
I wanted to know which approach is best or you tried yourself while trying to switch. I know trends are like either going for product based companies (Amazon, Microsoft, Intel) or going for Management consultancy companies (like  Bain, BCG). 
What should one aim for career growth wise. Obvious question yet wanted to have people's thoughts on this.

Thanks (⁠θ⁠‿⁠θ⁠)

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?

Frontend Engineer

I myself am looking for product design roles. All I see on linkedin and other job portals is that companies only looking for Product Designer 2 candidates/mid-senior/lead designers.

Even if I see any PD1 role, they ask for minimum 1 year experience (internship experience no included). I don’t understand the rationale behind it.

Its getting tough now that I am looking for a job since 2 months and its tiring. 

Is there anyone who understands the current market trend and has an insight about when junior/entry level designers can expect jobs to reopen? Would love to get your speculations on the hiring scene of upcoming months.

Is the market opening anytime soon for entry-level product designers?

Just asking to senior folks here, if you know any insights , when will market become good and hiring start again agressively

Will the market remain same and will change

There’s this chap on GV who posted that they haven’t received any calls for the past 3 months. Has 2.5 years experience with a current ctc around 15L. We spoke to them only to realise their expectations are 32L (26 fixed and 6 in esops)

In a market flooded with resumes due to unfortunate situations, is it fair to have such an expectation and at the same time, call out on GV that they haven’t been getting calls for an interview?
