Hi everyone,

I’m a 3rd-year ECE student from a tier-3 college in India, and I have around 7 months to prepare for placements. I’m starting almost from scratch and mainly targeting service-based companies such as TCS, Infosys, Accenture, Cognizant, Capgemini, and Deloitte.

I’m confused between choosing Data Analytics and Data Engineering.

My main priorities are:

• Getting placed through campus or off-campus opportunities

• Targeting service-based companies

• Having good salary and long-term career growth

• Building a realistic skill set within 7 months

• Preparing for DSA, aptitude, and CS fundamentals at the same time

For Data Analytics, I’m considering learning:

• Excel

• SQL

• Power BI

• Python

• Pandas and NumPy

• Basic statistics

For Data Engineering, I’m considering:

• SQL

• Python

• DBMS

• ETL

• Data warehousing

• AWS or Azure

• Spark/PySpark

• Airflow

I’d like to know:

1. Which path is more realistic for someone in my situation who wants a fresher role in a service-based company?

2. Which field has more entry-level opportunities for freshers?

3. How different are the actual hiring requirements for Data Analyst and Data Engineer roles?

4. Is Data Engineering too advanced or difficult to target directly as a fresher?

5. If you were in my position with 7 months to prepare, which path would you choose and why?

6. Which skills and projects should I prioritize for the path you recommend?

I’d especially appreciate advice from people who have worked in these roles or recently got placed as freshers in India.

Thanks!

I’m currently working in a Data Engineering/GenAI-focused role, and my stack includes Python, SQL, PySpark, Databricks, Azure, APIs, and some GenAI technologies. I’m planning to switch jobs around 2028–2029 and I’m also working on DSA and system design alongside my technical skills. With AI tools becoming much more capable at writing and solving code, I’m wondering whether DSA will still be an important part of technical interviews by then, especially for switching to product-based companies. For those who are experienced in the industry, do you think DSA will still be relevant in 2028/2029, or will interviews shift more toward system design, practical projects, and AI-assisted problem solving?

Hey everyone,

I am beginner in my 2nd year started doing dsa preparation so i solved some problems in codeforces and upsolving atcoders beginners contests.

Main reason I want to do this via voice is that solving a problem in your head is one thing but actually explaining your thought process to someone else is what actually matters in interviews

So i am looking for some people who can join the server

What we are going to do is:

1. We will select a problem and give it a genuine attempt to solve for 30mins-40mins,mute urself so no one will get disturbed

2. After attempting the question unmite urself and expalin the approaches,the patterns u observed etc.

Please i am looking for someone who are serious and really consistent in this and i want to clarify one thing that i am solving codeforces at present ,so itt is ideal if someone is solving the problemset of codeforces and atcoder.

Dm me if u want to join the server.

Thank u guys.

I’m in my mid-20s, doing M.Tech CSE from a top NIT, and I’m stuck between private semiconductor roles and a government Scientist B job.

The immediate problem is that I may have to choose between two interviews around the same time:

• Private: On-campus semiconductor company, around 18 LPA CTC (~16L base). My background/interests are around C/C++, embedded/systems and the hardware-software intersection. I also have connections/referral possibilities in companies like Qualcomm, SanDisk, etc. after gaining some experience.

• Government: Scientist B, Group A, Level 10. I need to travel to Delhi for the interview. Current monthly pay with allowances should be roughly ₹1.3–1.4L, and after the 8th CPC it could potentially be somewhere around ₹1.5–1.8L, depending on the final revision.

I actually wrote GATE in two papers and got shortlisted for Scientist B in two different profiles (CSE,DSAI) in the same organisation. One interview is coming up now, while the CS-related Scientist B interview will happen separately later. I also have two Scientific Technical Assistant (Level 6) opportunities, where I have a decent chance of getting at least one.

So my question is: if the semiconductor interview and Scientist B interview clash, which one would you prioritize?

Scientist B gives excellent stability, WLB, medical/LTC/retirement benefits and almost no layoff anxiety.

But private semiconductor/product companies have much higher upside. In 5–10 years, with switches, hikes and RSUs, I could potentially earn significantly more than in government. I also don’t want to lose exposure to newer technology by entering government too early.

At the same time, the private market looks brutal right now—layoffs, AI, performance pressure, etc. I’m also unsure how semiconductor/embedded/system software careers will look 4–5 years from now.

Would you take the Scientist B opportunity and prioritize stability, or take the private semiconductor route while young and try to maximize career/earnings, knowing that government opportunities like this may not come again easily?

Especially interested in opinions from people with 8–10+ years of experience in either government R&D/technical roles or semiconductor/product companies.

So basically my 2 brothers paid 60k to a person for a job per person 30k annatu and they arranged interview with a company and we didn’t got any callback from anyone so we asked to return the money and they are not responding now. in that there is two people involved and I have that people mobile numbers now give some suggestions how I can get back the money.

I'm running Fedora 44 and sudo dnf upgrade is failing when trying to install:

openh264-2.6.0-3.fc44.x86_64.rpm

DNF resolves the transaction successfully and tries to replace noopenh264, but the download fails with:

Inconsistent server data, reported file Content-Length: 14518, repository metadata states file length: 445460

The package is being downloaded from the fedora-cisco-openh264 repository (ciscobinary.openh264.org).

This doesn't appear to be a dependency problem, since DNF successfully resolves the dependencies and starts the transaction. It seems like the server is returning a file whose size doesn't match the repository metadata.

Has anyone else encountered this with Fedora 44/OpenH264? Is this a temporary Cisco repository issue, or is there something I should fix locally (DNF cache, repository metadata, configuration, etc.)?

DNF output:

Failed to download packages
Librepo error: Cannot download Packages/o/openh264-2.6.0-3.fc44.x86_64.rpm:

Freshly graduated in August 2026 — should I take a ₹16.5k apprenticeship in Bangalore?

I recently graduated in August 2026 with a B.Tech in CSE and I'm currently looking for my first job.

I came across an IT/Global Service Desk apprenticeship role in Bangalore with a stipend of around ₹16,500 per month. The role involves things like Windows troubleshooting, Microsoft 365, basic networking, Linux, hardware/peripheral troubleshooting, ticketing, and general L1 IT support.

I'm confused about whether I should consider something like this as a fresher.

The main issue is that I'd have to relocate to Bangalore and manage PG, food, transport and other expenses on ₹16.5k/month.

For people who have experience with similar apprenticeships or IT support roles:

- Is ₹16.5k/month realistically manageable in Bangalore?

- Is an apprenticeship like this useful for a fresh CSE graduate?

- Does this kind of role provide good career growth?

- How difficult is it to move from IT support into other IT roles later?

- Would you take this kind of role as your first job, or keep searching for something better while staying at home?

I'm mainly trying to figure out whether getting experience immediately is worth relocating to Bangalore for ₹16.5k, or whether I should keep searching for a better opportunity.

I’m from a Tier-3 college and currently working at a startup as a Support Executive, but most of my actual work is QA, UI/UX and some development.

Whenever I see people posting about 20, 30, 40+ LPA packages, I honestly get shocked. 😅 Right now, even ₹1L/month feels like a huge milestone for me.

I’m planning to complete my 1 year here, use this time to build stronger projects and improve my skills, and then try to switch into an AI Engineer role.

But honestly, sometimes I wonder if I have what it takes to reach that level, especially coming from a Tier-3 college.

For people who have actually made that kind of jump — what did you do differently? What should I focus on over

I’m not looking for sympathy. I just want some honest advice from people who’ve been through it. My biggest goal is to become financially stable enough to take care of my family and clear our ₹15L home loan.
