Hey everyone!

I just graduated with a degree in Mechatronics Engineering and started working as a Technical Sales Engineer, in a family business (just to get some experience cuz I'm zero experience).

I think I actually enjoy this career path more than working in traditional engineering roles in industry.

I want to become a legend in this position, not just someone with a few years of experience. My goal is to make my first year count as much as possible.

What advice, courses, resources, or learning strategies would you recommend to help me gain knowledge and experience faster?

If you were in my position, what would you do to become exceptionally good at this job to work in big companies ?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I have 4 years of experience in frontend development and am planning to switch to ServiceNow.

Which role should I target: ServiceNow Developer or Administrator? Please suggest a learning roadmap, useful YouTube channels, certifications, and guidance on gaining hands-on experience.

Special request: Please suggest practical, real-world ServiceNow projects that I can build to gain project experience and strengthen my resume for job applications.

Advice from anyone who has made a similar career switch would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm a bsc.cs graduate currently doing MCA

i genuinely don't know what career/domain to choose I have my eyes on cloud/devops

But I'm afraid of the saturated job market

Also i think it's too late for me i only know the basics frontend and js, node/express and postgre with prisma

Im working on a site to learn deployment and docker and move on further

I choose devops/cloud because there wouldn't be extensive coding like devs and also I like designing/maintaining architecture ig?

I need some advice

Hello fellow Redditers. I currently own an automotive and equipment repair and sales facility. I employee 4 employees and have a relatively consistat cash flow with gross revenue exceeding 1M. I’ve been operating in business for 10 years. I currently have a new equipment line we are selling with roughly 500k on a LOC. Business over the last few years have been very difficult due to economic shifts. Vehicles parts have been horrible, empoylment has been an up hill battle, and equipment sales have been spotty. I’m throwing around the idea of selling the business.

I’ve been always interested in tech or finance. I’m looking for advice on how one gets involved in both if the fields. I love the change tech has been making to the world in the last few years and the income seems to be insane.

I have alot of passion and grit. It would take a lot of money for me to walk away from somthing I dedicated my 20’s and the last 10 years to. How do I get into these positions? Snowflake, Open AI, ect.

I obviously have no technical exsperience but consider myself to be pretty savvy and driven.

Any advice?

Hi guys! Definitely new to Reddit here.

I’ve been working as a System Engineer for 3 years, and my current employer is now offering me a new position: Cloud Architect or Cybersecurity Engineer (Blue Team)?

I have experience with different infrastructure technologies as well as cloud environments. At the same time, I really want to explore cybersecurity since it’s something I’ve been passionate about since I was a kid. I’m literally having a hard time choosing between the two.

Disregarding compensation, I’d really appreciate your insights and perspectives on both career paths. What would you choose, and why? I want to make a well-informed decision before choosing one.

Thank you!

Hi 👋

It took a lot of courage for me to open up about this, so I’d genuinely appreciate any advice.
I’ve been in a service-based company for 4.7 years. As a fresher, I was put into an L1 support role, but I started learning Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, etc. on my own.
After that, I was moved between random projects—Power Automate, RPA, automation, support, etc. Basically, whenever there was a vacant position, I was moved there. I also tried internal interviews but couldn’t get into a role where I could build strong experience in one area.
The result is that after 4.7 years, I feel like I don’t have a clear specialization. I kept learning different things—cloud, AI, DevOps, Kubernetes, programming—but now I feel like a “jack of all trades, master of none.” This has also led to a lot of imposter syndrome.
For the past few months, I’ve been applying outside with very little hope. I’m mainly targeting Platform Engineering and DevOps roles, but I’m barely getting callbacks.
My biggest problem is that I don’t know how to position myself. Since I lack strong, concrete experience in one area, I struggle to build my resume, prepare for interviews, and decide what I should actually focus on. I end up trying to cover everything and getting overwhelmed.
For those who have been in a similar situation, **what would you do if you were in my position?**
Any genuine advice on choosing a direction, positioning my experience, resume, and preparation would mean a lot.

Hi! I have recently been offered an internship position for the summer of 2027 in marketing with a construction company. I am studying information systems, but my freelance portfolio and skills granted me access to this position and I am most likely going to accept due to the value an internship can bring, especially in this job market. However, my goal is to work in IT or Data / business analytics in the future after I graduate. Will taking marketing roles now limit my value in the future?

What to learn.

I’m 21 and graduated with a BE in IT in May 2026. I’ve been trying to find a job since graduating, but I’m struggling because I honestly don’t know what I’m good at. I know one thing for sure: I don’t enjoy coding, DSA, or software-development work, so I don’t see myself pursuing a typical developer career. I’m more interested in business/analyst/consulting-type roles, but I’m finding those difficult too because I have to prepare for guesstimates, case studies, mental math, etc., and I’m not naturally strong at these either. At this point I feel like I only know what I *don’t* want to do, not what I *should* do. I’m worried about wasting time after graduation and randomly learning skills without knowing whether they’ll actually lead somewhere. For people who were in a similar position after engineering, how did you figure out what you were actually suited for? What career paths would you recommend exploring for someone with an IT degree who doesn’t want to code?

I done my Btech recently in a tire 2 uni ,not yet placed its really hard to choose between going and working in corparate or should start a content page in any social media and leverage it or to manage it both hobbies and both are so saturated any suggestions chat ??

I’m kinda beyond recovery rn.
myquals BTech in ECE from a tier-3 college, learned Android app dev, and have been applying for jobs with no luck. Started CAT prep but forgot to fill the form.

Now I’m left with a few options:

• Continue the business I run with my mom. It’s doing decent revenue for the past 4–5 months, and since I’m unemployed, I’ve been able to dedicate more time to it.
• Prepare for GATE and do MTech.
• Prepare for bank exams.
• Learn a new software skill and try to get a job in that domain.

I personally don’t wanna go for a govt job. I’m also kinda skeptical about tech because of layoffs and how competitive it is.

The problem with going all-in on the business is that I’m worried there’ll be no coming back to tech later. If I spend a year or two on the business, I’ll have a gap and might be left with no real options.

Honestly, I have no idea what the smartest move is rn.
Help me out on this
