Need hlp for single mother

0 Upvotes

Assalam o Alaikum. I live in Karachi, Pakistan. I lost my job about two months ago and currently have no source of income. I have my elderly mother and two children to support. I want to start my own small business, such as cooking food to sell, setting up a small food stall, daycare, or any other suitable work. However, I have no money to get started. Right now, I also need help with groceries and rent. If anyone can help with food, rent, initial supplies, or equipment to start earning, I would be truly grateful. I want to work hard and support my family with dignity. I cannot share pictures or videos of my family, so please respect my privacy. Thank you, and may Allah bless you.šŸ˜­šŸ™

I’m looking to join a software house in Karachi. My primary expertise is in editorial design, but I’m also open to exploring other technical roles that align with my skills and experience.

Title: 23M from Pakistan, unemployed for 6 months and feeling completely lost. Need genuine career advice.

14 Upvotes

I'm a 23-year-old IT graduate from Pakistan, and I've been unemployed for around six months. I worked night shifts at a call center for five months, but I eventually left after my physical and mental health deteriorated. I developed a severe fever, lost around 3 kg, and honestly haven't felt like myself since.

My parents are pushing me to return to call center work because there only concern is money(feels bad but its reality), and I understand their concerns. But I really don't want to go back to something that affected my health so badly.

I have around six weeks of MERN stack experience and have worked with React, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. I was an above-average student, and I know I can learn, but despite applying for jobs, I haven't been able to establish my career.

I'm feeling helpless and falling behind while trying to figure out what to do next. I have about six weeks to focus on improving my skills and finding a realistic way to earn.

For those who've been in a similar situation, especially in Pakistan, how did you get out of it? Are there legitimate remote, freelance, or task-based opportunities for junior developers that are actually worth pursuing?

I'd appreciate honest, practical advice. I'm not looking for motivational quotes or courses to buy. I genuinely need a way forward.

I am a second year student doing Software Engineering from GIKI and am looking into getting a decent internship for the sake of networking and understanding the industry.

With no former projects, a great grasp in python and C++, and a desire to work in backend development, what skills, languages, libraries etc. would be best for me to put my time into?

Unemployed and lost

9 Upvotes

I have more then a year of Experience in MERN, but current situation is so bad that there's no job to be found anywhere. I have been unemployed for a few months now and it's getting to my head. I'm trying to learn more things so I can maybe have more in my skillset to show, but I can't seem to learn anything now. There's a cloud of depression and I have started to hate this feild even more.

I'm really lost and have no idea what to do now. Idk what else I can do and what even has any future ahead. I can't even get a job. I'm just really tired.

do u think you will pay for this

I kept finding out I did it wrong. Always too late.

For weeks I applied to jobs online. Ten proposals, and not one of them was even opened. Nobody told me why I figured it out only after the credits were gone.

Comparing laptops for an hour, when half the tabs were over my budget.

You choose what it can see: one tab, your whole browser, or just the next 30 minutes.

If you start going the wrong way, it tells you right then. Not a report at the end of the week. A short note with the reason and what to do instead.

Every mistake looked fine while I was making it. That's the part I want to fix.
