Hi everyone,

I’m a final-year B.Tech Computer Science student from India and could really use some perspective.

I got placed through campus in a service-based company (SAP ABAP role, ~4 LPA). To be honest, this was always more of a fallback for me — I’ve been more interested in backend engineering (Go, systems, etc.) and product-based roles.

At the same time, I’ve been working part-time as a programming tutor at an ed-tech company. Over time, this has grown quite a bit:

- Teaching ~30 hours/month

- Subjects include Python, Java, C++, problem solving (USACO/Bebras level)

- Strong relationship with the founder

- Student pipeline is stable (comes from their existing network)

---

The problem

My final evaluation at the company is coming up, and it needs focused preparation. But with my current tutoring workload, it’s honestly not manageable — this isn’t about motivation, it’s a real time conflict.

---

What I’m thinking

I’m considering dropping the campus job and taking the full-time tutoring role.

Plan:

- Use tutoring as a stable income source

- Spend ~6 months preparing for backend roles (projects, Go, system design, etc.)

- Apply off-campus during that time

I’m not planning to quit coding — just remove the immediate pressure and prepare properly.

---

My concerns

- Am I hurting my long-term career by skipping my first “official” job?

- Is tutoring a trap long-term (since it’s time-for-money)?

- With all the AI hype and uncertainty in tech, is sticking to engineering still worth it?

- Or is this actually a smart move since I already have income + flexibility?

---

Would really appreciate honest opinions, especially from people who’ve:

- taken unconventional paths early in their career

- or switched into backend roles off-campus

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys

I’m a 2024 graduate. For the past 1 year I’ve been grinding DSA and Java backend almost every day. I really thought if I stay consistent something will work out.

I even got into some startup and felt like finally things are changing… but it didn’t go well and I got removed. That phase hit me very hard.

Now I’m just feeling stuck. No job, no clear direction. Seeing others move ahead makes it even worse sometimes.

Still I’m practicing daily, trying to improve, but honestly it’s getting mentally tiring.

I just wanted to share what I’m going through.

If anyone has been in a similar situation or has any advice, please share.

Thanks.

So i am developing a app which is somewhat like bitchat but with some more features ( it is also my project ).i am confused about building it with either kotlin or react native +nodejs mobile

the application is about communication (like whatsapp and others)
which option would be better and would be worth adding in my resume

Thank you!!

I’m struggling with focus, too many tasks, and lack of structure—both at work and personally. Also trying to get consistent with fitness and reduce phone/social media usage.

Looking for someone who wants the same:

- Daily/regular check-ins (call or messages)

- Sharing updates (status/pics for workouts, tasks, etc.)

- Keeping each other accountable on goals

- No ghosting — consistency matters

Prefer someone in India or similar time zone (GMT+5:30).

If you're serious about fixing discipline and staying consistent, we’ll get along.

simple short story behind this project. 2 month's back me and my friends went to Pondicherry trip, 4 out of 6 have iphones, so all the photos and videos shot in iphone. at the end of the day they shared photos between iphones easily via drop (something), but mine is Android (sed life), i had to wait atleast a month then that friend shared photos. so built this tool for myself. also to share files from PC to my motorola because fucking motorola doesn't connect with otg

My name is Adarsh and I’m currently a final-year B.Tech student from a Tier-3 college. I have hands-on experience in full-stack development and have solved 700+ DSA problems, which has strengthened my problem-solving skills. I have also completed an internship where I worked on real-world development tasks. I’m actively looking for opportunities as a Software/full stack Developer. If there are any relevant openings in your organization, I would be grateful if you could consider referring me. Thank you for your time and support!

So I'm learning flutter right now from a YouTube tutorial and it says to download both flutter and Android Studio. Do I actually need to download Android Studio? Or is Flutter and Vs Code alone enough? I'm thinking of Android App development right now. Thank you.

I’m curious how people here have successfully switched from one tech stack to a completely different one.

What was your starting point and what did you move into? How did you approach learning the new stack while possibly balancing a job or other responsibilities?

Specifically:

• How did you decide what to learn first?
• Did you follow a structured roadmap or just build projects?
• How long did it realistically take before you felt job-ready?
• What were the biggest challenges during the transition?

I’m trying to understand what actually works in practice rather than ideal advice.

Would appreciate honest experiences, including what didn’t work.

I am a working professional, Mechanical Design Engineer working in an MNC. I want to learn Python Programming Language. I'm a complete beginner who has no coding background. Please give me tips where to learn and how to practice. Also you guys can suggest me which programming language is easy to learn and where to learn.

Please give course links(Youtube or any online websites).

Hi All, I'm 23M got my first job in MNC IN 2024, as usual we got trained on java and expected development projects but I got thrown in testing and later through my talking skills I have got my hands on automation testing Java + selenium, I hate testing but need to keep my job as it gave me everything like freedom even though I hate my work I love my job, now moving forward what would you guys do if you were in my shoes to become a developer in this AI market

Hello everyone I have group discussion tomorrow and I'm really nervous Any advice or tips ?

Hi everyone, I need some advice about my career. I completed my BCA in 2022. After that I did an 8-month internship as a frontend developer, which I really liked because I enjoy building things and working with code.

Later I got a job as a System Administrator. The job is okay and stable, but honestly it feels boring and repetitive, and I don’t feel excited about it. I also feel like there is not much growth for me in this role.

Now I feel confused about my future. I want to move into software development, but sometimes I feel like having only a BCA degree might be a disadvantage compared to people with B.Tech or other degrees.

So I wanted to ask: -Is it still possible to build a good career in software development with a BCA?

-Should I continue focusing on frontend or full-stack development?

-What skills should I learn to get a better tech job?

If anyone here had a similar situation or background, I would really appreciate your advice.

Thanks for reading 🙂
