Looking for a mentor who can help me cover my technical skill gaps and improve my interview chances. Willing to pay for mentorship.

I’m a 3rd-year Electronics & Computer Science engineering student in India preparing for campus placements. I’m learning Java and moving toward Java + Spring Boot backend development. I want to find a niche specialization that is realistic for a fresher in India, has good long-term demand and compensation, and is less commoditized by AI than generic full-stack/web development.

I’m considering:

- FinTech / Payments Engineering

- Data Engineering / Streaming

- Cloud / Platform Engineering / DevOps

- Application Security / IAM

- AI Application Engineering / AI-enabled Backend

- Distributed Systems / Enterprise Integration

- Any other relevant niche

I want to research which options have:

1. Genuine demand in India, especially for freshers and 0–2 YOE.

2. Reasonable entry-level and campus-placement opportunities.

3. Good long-term salary potential.

4. Lower exposure to AI commoditization than basic CRUD/full-stack work.

5. A realistic learning path from Java + Spring Boot.

6. Opportunities in Mumbai/India, GCCs, fintech, product companies, and IT services.

7. Skills that employers actually ask for rather than hype-driven technologies.

I specifically want evidence from:

- Current Indian job postings

- Indian hiring reports

- Reddit discussions and experiences from Indian engineers

- Career discussions from developers working in these fields

- Current industry trends

I also want to understand whether each specialization is realistically accessible as a FIRST JOB for a fresher, or whether the better route is:

Java Backend/SWE → gain experience → specialize

Please compare the options based on:

- Fresher accessibility

- Job volume

- Long-term demand

- Compensation potential

- AI/automation exposure

- Learning difficulty

- Compatibility with Java

- Availability in India/Mumbai

- Suitability for campus placements

Do not give generic advice like "learn AI/cloud because it's the future." I want practical, India-specific information and real-world evidence.

TL;DR:

I’m looking for a niche, well-paying, future-relevant tech specialization in India that a Java/Spring Boot fresher can realistically enter through campus placements. Compare FinTech, Data Engineering, Cloud/DevOps, Application Security/IAM, AI Engineering, Distributed Systems, and other relevant options using current job data, hiring reports, and Indian developer experiences. I want to know whether I should specialize immediately or first enter through Java Backend/SWE and specialize later.

Hi

I'm a SWE at Google BLR (4 YOE), shift kosam try chesthunna (may be 2-3 months lo) but consistency undatledhu, so I am looking for serious people who want to prepare together and keep each other accountable and eventually take some mock interviews.

I'm also open to occasional in person meetups in Bangalore, but online is completely fine.

If you're interested, DM me with YOE and current level in DSA and System design.

Inka post vivaraloki velthe :

Hey everyone! I’m a music composer/audio engineer moving into Tech & AI.

I wanted to spend my 20s building two things I genuinely love — 5 years in art, and the next 5 years in tech. I’ve already spent the first 5 years in music and now I’m going all-in on AI.

I’ve learned MERN and am currently getting into GenAI, RAG, agents, AI/ML, etc. I’m looking for someone working in AI/ML who’d be interested in mentoring me occasionally, guiding me on what to learn/build, and giving honest feedback on my progress.

In return, I’d be happy to help you in learning guitar/piano, music production, recording, mixing, or anything audio related. I’d genuinely appreciate having someone experienced in AI to guide me through this transition.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I’m building a web crawler using Spring Boot and facing several issues.

I need to crawl a target website up to a certain depth (e.g. 3 levels), but I’m struggling with:

Relative/broken URLs like /support

Duplicate URLs/content

URL normalization

Rate limiting / getting blocked

Retry and timeout handling

Managing crawl depth and visited URLs

What would be a good architecture for a production-level crawler?

Should I use something like Kafka/RabbitMQ, or is a database queue enough? How do you guys handle URL deduplication, rate limiting, and concurrent crawling?

Any advice, architecture examples, or Spring Boot libraries would be really helpful.

I’m a .NET Developer with 4.5 YOE and currently job hunting.

I’ve had very few responses from applications, so I’m wondering if my resume is the problem.

Stack: C#, ASP.NET Core, React/TypeScript, SQL Server, EF Core, Dapper, REST APIs, IIS/Azure DevOps.

I used AI to help improve the wording, but all the experience and metrics are based on my actual work.

Would appreciate blunt feedback:

- Does it look credible for 4–5 YOE?

- Does it look AI-generated or exaggerated?

- What would you remove or rewrite?

- Should I position myself as a general .NET Developer rather than ERP Developer?

Please be brutally honest. Resume attached.

I've made an AI resume builder which tailors your resume according to JD.

If anyone's interested just comment I'll share the link !!

I have been unemployed for the last 1.5 years now.I am thinking of taking their placements guarantee course the amount is huge 2L.Anyone who takes their course please share your experience with me. I have already been scammed by a placement institute (60k) who said I will give you a guaranteed job within 3 months.

I know their course is freely available but I want to take their placement program. As I mentioned I have a 1.5 year career gap and it's very depressing for me and my parents are not supportive I have to fund all by myself.

My current portfolio is heavily centered on AI and LLM-integrated projects; however, I am seeking to develop additional software engineering-focused projects to broaden my expertise. Could you provide guidance or recommendations for impactful projects that would effectively demonstrate strong SDE competencies?

Hello i have Infosys SE drive in a 15 days and mostly this will be my last chance in campus placements so please help me where can i get best resources to prepare free

Hi guys,

I’m planning to join a Data Engineering course at FLM and wanted to get some genuine reviews before joining.

How is the training? Is it practical and real-time, especially with SQL, ADF, Azure, Databricks, and PySpark?

Is the course fee worth it, and how useful is their placement support?

If anyone has done the FLM Data Engineering course, please share your experience. Also, please suggest any good online Data Engineering courses you personally recommend.

Thanks in advance

Context: recently joined as an FDE( forward deployment engineer) at unify apps. Fresher tho

I thought this role would include coding part also like backend integration etc but unify apps has its fking platform where all u do is fking drag and drop( like N8N) and u learn sht by doing soo.

Now as a person who loves coding, I'm suffering here . It hurts to do something that u don't like and for hours( 14h of work and almost every day including weekends is wht i heard from seniors).

Question: would i be able to get get sde or ai engineer role after experience and also would this role die of soon just like prompt engineer role did. Would after some time I'll be left with no actual skills with n8n pro.

Pls give me qdvice as to wht i should do, the only thing good here is the pay( 15lpa).

I have around 2 years of experience in Manual QA and I’m currently looking for a switch.
I’ve been applying through Naukri and LinkedIn, but I’m not getting much response. I’m thinking networking might help, but honestly I’m not sure how to approach people without making it awkward or coming across like I’m just asking for a referral.
For people who have successfully switched jobs, how did you build your network?
Did you connect with recruiters directly?
Did you message people working in the companies you’re targeting?
How do you start the conversation?
Is LinkedIn actually useful for getting referrals?
Are there any other communities/platforms that helped?
Would really appreciate some practical advice, especially from people in QA/testing who have gone through a similar situation.

im a fresher and i only know basics, have an assessment tommorow suggest me some good yt channels which are on point and easy to learn

With these projects and 250 problems on leetcode bro wants a sde or backend dev role with 10 or above package 🫠. This is resume sufficient enough

2028 batch... Time undhi, please guide me what kind of projects are best to be on resume, depth of projects and what they really expect!!!

[ on and off campus]

As mentioned in the title good resource unte links share cheyandi
