I feel like in a few years, other jobs that don't require coding would be short on employees. What about other jobs?

Why do you think everybody wants to learn programming/coding these days?

Why do you think everybody wants to learn programming/coding these days?- Grapevine

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?

1. You are building a software that otherwise could be built by a 12 year old kid, if given proper training.
2. You cannot code if I cut off google, stackoverflow & related websites.
3. You are just concerned about producing the output quickly because a. your work is time bound, b. you want to stand out from others.
4. You attend countless meetings that carry no value, thanks to Agile.
5. 10 people write code for the same software which otherwise could have been written by 1 person.
6. You write pages of documents just because you are expected to write for the team, compliance & stuff.
7. You don’t care about non-functional requirements as nobody asked for it.
8. You are spending hours together in coding a simple thing & you are branded a hard-worker.
9. Or you don’t spend much time in coding because you impress people with tech jargons that you learnt recently. You are branded a smart-worker.
10. The code you write will be completely rewritten in next 3-4 years just to catch up with the industry trends.
11. Your only goal is to earn loads of money which otherwise could not be earned in other engineering fields. That’s one of the reasons why you are on grapevine.

Prove me wrong if you can, by commenting your opinion.

Software engineering job is highly overrated. Prove me wrong if you can.

I recently started interviewing after a period of about 5 years and I am very surprised about the change in the way interviews are conducted these days. I have now interviewed for few companies like Sitetracker, Avance Clinical, Iron Mountain and expedite commerce and each organisation had their first round as a fit check round which i’m unable to clear. Can you guys share some tips around it.

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Right now I'm at the end of my 6th semester of engineering in IT, i am not interested in DSA and doing coding ( I like it to some extent). I don't know what I should do now where as I'm interested in job role like digital marketing and roles which are related to marketing ( currently I'm doing and internship in an startup where I have role of seo and digital marketing) and in future I want to go into business and entrepreneurship which is my fixed mindset. But for my placement I'm doubtful that i would go for the DSA stuff (I find interest in business analytics but i don't have those companies for on campus placement and I'm just starting to learn it) , can someone help me with this and guid me.

Need guidance!

This post is not to hate on free YouTubers who are providing important information and clarity on coding and required skills which our Indian colleges lack but required by industry.

But seeing everyone jumping into making courses makes me think how many of these courses are actually good, folks with just 1- 2 years experience teaching MERN, DSA promising high packages to all. We have replaced college professors with engineering freshers who have limited scoped knowledge, right now course selling looks like a way to make a quick buck and quit your job.

I understand as a fresher, job is the most important thing and to get a job in this country the easiest and quickest way is coding. Mostly it is the curriculum to blame as it has failed our students and industry. But feels people are finding opportunity in this crisis.

What are your thoughts ?

Increased selling of paid courses

What future do you see of front end developers in next 5 years  ?

silly and hypothetical question ,yes i know.

Will AI replace software engineers and coding jobs?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I’ve noticed a pattern that most folks at leadership have a masters degree at least (mostly mba). Im at that point where leaving my job (20LPA, 5YOE) for 2 years does not make sense and getting into ISBs would demand a strong Gmat score which looks difficult.
Should I take a MS or some other masters degree for the sake of it? Just so that I might be in contention for senior roles years later?

If not MBA, then what?

Guys, is it mandatory for SDES, to learn devops skill as well ? Saw a lot of guys in my circle is getting rejected becoz of lack of skill on devops though they are a coding rockstars. 
What's happening in job market ?

Devops questions for SDE roles

I'm a full stack developer with 2 years of experience.
I'm good at development and beginner at dsa noob at system design.

What should focus on to get into Indian startups with salary more than 30lpa fixed as a 2 year experienced dev. Should I focus more on dsa or sys design or both?
Is there anything else that I need to look into?

How get into startups with salary above 30 lpa fixed

Web developer

Title. I am interested in devops and cloud.I am learning it everyday and I am enjoying it whereas I have tried web dev and DSA and I am not finding it interesting. Any of you who are experienced please guide me.

Should I focus on core software engineering skills such as  DSA ,web dev or app dev or should I focus on devops and cloud as a fresher?

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

Indian SDEs on LinkedIn & Twitter are some of the worst engineers you will ever find across the real world. Their typical value lies around:

- Cracking a FAANG/MAANG or Product company.
- Make an announcement on LinkedIn & Twitter and accumulating followers.
- Starting YouTube channel, Topmate links, affiliate marketing channels, and more.
- Rant DSA, System Design, Interview resources all day long. 
- Post daily of their office, their colleagues, candid shots, and barely getting any work done.

While this is expected out of early career professionals, it pains to see senior SDEs doing the same shit over and over again. Things don't end here — Everyone talks about creating a revolution. And the revolution is teaching DSA. 

If you are an experienced SDE and still ranting DSA, it just means that you have barely learnt anything that is of worth any value. You are atmost a "Ticket Engineer". You get assigned a Jira ticket, you bust your ass solving it, and that's it. That's your entire value. 

Its high time that these "Bhaiya", "Didis", "Bhabhis" stop ranting DSA and System Design over and over, and build something of real value. You would barely see any credible open-source projects coming out of India (but hey, we have some many contributors!), barely any Indie dev project, or anything that captures the attention of the world. 

Literally every popular SDE you might follow or see over your social media is the same. Their entire community game is a farce and designed to capture gullible college students and shill thousands of rupees out of them. You might be featured on Times Square ($40 ka showoff), but no one would remember you for anything that you built.

<Rant Over. Peace>

Indian SDEs will do all DSA and System Design chatter but cannot create any real value

Back to the interviews post layoff. Can people share machine coding questions being asked. With the yoe at which they were asked

Backend engineer here with 5 yoe.

Machine coding. What's the deal ?

Hello folks, 

This is a call for every software engineer and broader community. 
I’m a 30 year old customer support employee who worked at Airtel, MPL, Wazirx and I have 5 years of total experience all things customer support. 

About a year ago, laid off at Wazirx due to crypto taxes and regulations and it’s been an uphill battle to find a steady job in the market. 

Did few freelance jobs but nothing is working out. I’m at a point where I’m unable to even get by on monthly basis. 

I’m a Engg dropout as well, so no degree, no real top notch experience to land other roles. 

I finally decided to have a crack at software jobs and pivot to whole new field. I have few queries, if anyone can find some time and answer them, it would mean the world to me 

1. Do I need a degree to land software roles ? 
2. To pivot to coding roles ( no prior experience), where should i start ?
3. There’s an ocean of misinformation out there, I’m really confused on where to start and which courses to take up? ( Planning to take up Phyton ) 
4. Can coding help to land freelance jobs ( I know it’s difficult and takes time to reach good enough of a level but I’m willing to work hard and put the hours in ). 
5. I know companies doesn’t bet on candidates without a degree but what’s the best way to approach this scenario? 

Thanks a lot for your time for answering these queries. Highly appreciated 🙏🏼

STUCK IN LIFE

Customer success

With AI improving we see it is quite capable of writing decent codes, how can someone new to tech decide on what to pick up? Frontend or Backend or both. Nowadays they say Full stack developers are in demand but shouldn't one be good at at least one thing and have knowledge about other things? How to prioritise what to learn. There are just so many things that I'm a bit confused as to what to learn and focus on. I'd like to seek advice from a future perspective, and any predictions on how the tech industry might shape up.

Product Manager

I have seen LLM models getting better day by day and seem to replace a lot of tedious roles that interns would do. How will this change the job market over time? Should people start learning coding to stay relevant in today's times? How will this pan out in 10 years?

Will AI increase more unemployed?

Consultant

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

Senior Consultant

do you like coding? do you enjoying keeping up with new things? do you like the idea of continuous learning (especially in the field)? aren’t you overwhelmed? if tech didn’t pay well, would you still be working in tech?
