Unhealthy ChatGPT usage destroying my career in the long run?
Help me write a reddit post explaining my concern:
Hi guys! I have done my gradutation in BE Computer Engineering (2023 batch)
Did not get a job on campus as i was on a long holiday trip for a few months during placements when most companies came.
I am from a covid batch ,spent 2.5 years of semesters at home (5 sems) and i didnt gain any skills during my whole engineering like trust me ( all i knew was syntax of html,c++ and python i even doubt if i knew this lol)
My group members had made our final project ,ekdum complex ML project (mera usme daane bhar ka bhi contribution nahi tha)
So didnt find a job on campus...
next phase:
Tried gaining some skills handson basic skills ( i did but literally nothing compared to what a engineer graduate should know,gained skills which people probably gain in first sem)
Next phase:
Couldnt find a job, Did this course called CDAC (Center for development of advanced computing) from pune ,it was almost a 6month long course ,learned full stack there with hands on( JAVA,SPRINGBOOT,REACT,SOME DEVOPS TOOLS, C#,.net) stuff like this.....
They too had campus placements,found one job but too low pay (which was fine) but also was wayy far from my home (mumbai) and it was in hyderabad for 4lpa + 3 years of bond ,didnt go for it.
Was not allowed to sit for placements further as i rejected the offer.
next phase:
Spent 1.5 months at home,Didnt really apply for jobs(just one day lol)
Started prepping for GATE
Found out my sister's friend has a startup , a well known startup in the edtech area (around 10 years old) Quite a good startup ,good funds and self sustained ,they have kept a very small tech team like 30-40 max
So anyway i get a call , i send my resume, 1-2 weeks later I go down to their office ,they ask me how good and familiar i am with AI TOOLS ,first i thought they were asking about AI algos(like linear regression n all) but ya i told them I use chatgpt's 4o version
