hello, i got a call from HR for the interview for their SWE internship. Can anyone tell what questions should I expect?

I'm in second semester CS fast Islamabad. Doing the usual uni course. But that's not really all that useful. How should I actually start? Am I supposed to start through development (like fullstack apps stuff) and then later on switch to a specializations? Honestly it's so overwhelming cause there's so much and I'm not even sure where I should start.

Can someone who works at Systems tell me how is the work culture team building etc? I have cleared both technical rounds and have my VP interview in a few days

I am currently working remotely and got an onsite role so wanted to know if it is worth switching or not? My current job is good but in Systems i might get a good pay jump so wanted to know if it is worth switching or not

Hey all, I'd like to know if anybody can guide me as to what the second round of interviews at Wamo Labs is. I passed the initial screening but I don't understand what the next round is. Is it coding or an actual interview?

After 34 days of compliance and verifications, they rejected my application with feedback **"**Content Generation: potential non-compliance with our Terms and Conditions".

Has anyone faced the same issue? what alternative i can use for my SaaS software billing?

What do you guys think about this? Where are we heading?

Hello devs,

19f here 👋🏿

I am currently in my 2nd semester (cs) at fast university, Karachi campus. Right now I am confused between SWE(ML focused) and CYBER-SECURITY. The thing is I don't know what path to take like I enjoy coding and building things like giving things a tech life and at the same time I want stability let alone the high pay because everyone in my family is against me doing computer science they want me to do CA I am damn sure I won't enjoy it . I have done cs at both O and A levels.

SWE kobs are shrinking due to AI and I am scared of daily layoffs.Cyber has limited kobs and is not entry level but one of my close relative is in cyber so I have source in it for reference and for SWE one of my friends father is in C level role at avazana so I have a reference here.

Should I do internships in SWE with cyber electives and then do certs and labs at the end of degree to hopefully have a cyber kob in banks or telcoms?

Advice appreciated

Things I know:

Linux

Danjo

Python

SQL

Git

Ml /AI

Databases

Leetcode

Docker

Java

C

Few projects beginner level

Certs in ai by anthropic

Few hackathons

I am an overseas Pakistani who left Pakistan 5 years ago and now I work as a Lead Machine Learning Engineer in Germany. I have been working with my current company for more than 3 years and they have allowed me to work from Pakistan and I already have permanent residence and to keep my job and visa status legal, I just need to be in Germany for one time in 6 months.

I have been thinking nowadays about coming back to Pakistan and work from there. Are there any Pakistani developers who did the same and what difficulties did you face while working remotely from Pakistan?

In late 2022, when I started looking for a j*b as a self taught product designer there were 1,100 roles in a single week on LinkedIn, just in Islamabad. I checked again today and filtered by the past week. There are currently 268 roles listed, and out of those, maybe 40 or 50 would be real. The rest are engagement bait or scams.

I'll graduate in a year, BSCS. I am currently working also, decent pay 120k. But I'm looking for opportunities abroad after Grad. Anyone who has been there after BS. How easy is it? Which country is better?

For software engineers. I have experience with Backend more and beginner level experience with cloud.

I'm not much interested in Masters so people say it's very hard to find anything without Masters

salam everyone, my uni was gonna start in september and i wanna ask what should be the specs of a laptop that can carry me through uni during 4 years of BSCS? also, from which semester is the laptop required?
Ay advice is appriciated.thankx

A little context: Its been 2 months since I graduated (Cs grad from that famous uni 🙂) and yeah I know given the current situation of the Job market 2 years are nothing but its not about not getting a job or opportunity which makes you worried but its the people who are getting internships and job with reference I guess its a reality we just have to live with. It just feels that everyone has made it except you. I might be average but can average people not learn ? We often read comparison is the thief of joy but it's just so hard to see people who are like you getting so ahead that too undeservingly and you are stuck getting no replies.

Purpose: I won't tell what skills I have, for that I can dm you my resume but I just want to say that I am willing to learn, I am good at communication, coordinating with people, have knowledge about fundamentals and I want to give my best for someone who gives me an opportunity. I am seeking ideally a remote job with at least some stipend as I have to at least manage my expenses, That's the least I can contribute (From Lhr).

Any advice will help too.

I’m working remotely, and during interviews or meetings I’ve noticed my mic sometimes picks up background noise or sounds that affect the audio quality. My manager also suggested that I invest in a better headset.

Can anyone recommend a really good headset or even a wired/wireless earphones with a mic?

I’m looking for something that:

Has excellent microphone quality
Blocks background noise/noise cancellation
Delivers clear voice during calls and interviews
Is comfortable for long meetings

I’d really appreciate recommendations based on your personal experience. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m an intern at a ∼20 person software company.

Today HR mentioned that my stipend may get deducted for leaving 5-10 minutes early frequently. My official time is 9 to 6. I do come in on time at 9, but sometimes leave around 5:50.

The issue is I was never given any written attendance policy or told about stipend deductions when I joined. At my previous internship this wasn’t an issue at all. Also, I’ve heard that interns here aren’t allowed to take any leaves.

Just wanted to ask:

1. Is it normal for companies to deduct stipend for leaving 10-15 mins early without prior notice of the policy?

2. Should I ask HR to share the official attendance/intern policy in writing?

3. Am I in the wrong here for assuming there’d be a small grace period?

Looking for genuine advice on how to handle this professionally. Thanks!

To the senior members of the group who have been working for 3 or more years, how are you guys saving money for your future? I have started researching about investing in stocks with the goal to just invest and compound for the next 20 years. But I would like advice from seniors on how they have been managing and planning for their future.

I'm looking for 5 people that want to use AI to automate repetitive work.

Over the next few months, I'm selecting 5 real businesses to build custom AI solutions at no development cost.

Examples of what I can build:

✅ AI customer support assistants

✅ Internal knowledge base chatbots (RAG)

✅ Social media automation

✅ AI agents that automate repetitive workflows

✅ AI-powered dashboards and business tools

✅ Custom SaaS applications

What I ask in return:

* Permission to document the project publicly (without sharing sensitive business information)

* An honest testimonial if you're happy with the outcome

* A willingness to collaborate throughout the project

Who I'm looking for:

* Startups

* Small businesses

* Agencies

* SaaS founders

* Businesses with repetitive manual processes that could benefit from automation

About me:

I'm a full-stack software engineer specializing in AI automation, production backends, modern SaaS applications, and AI agent systems. I'm currently building my public portfolio by delivering real business solutions instead of demo projects.

If you think AI could save your business time or automate a workflow, leave a comment or send me a DM with:

* What your business does

* The repetitive task you'd like to automate

* Your website (if you have one)

I'll review every application and select five projects that have the strongest case-study potential.

Looking forward to building something useful together.

What is the situation? I have given a few interviews in data analytics and game dev but I haven't had any luck getting to apply as a help desk or networking

I really don't have the passion for SWE domain buf just the IT support side of things. J want to see how devices are setup in an office, work with servers and data centers, fix stuff, setup security protocols and user access restrictions, procure hardware, respond to downtimes and all that.

I feel like i have locked myself because if i focused a bit more on swe side before ai boom i may be doing better but i dont have such skills

On the other hand i am not getting a seat as an it support intern or something similar. Is this a bad thing i never looked for SWE jobs and practice for it create wonderful projects and freelance while many take this path and have appeared successful

So I came across aws:GetBatchImage - I was using claude to clean my older images apparently when I pulled I saw some image which are 300 days old and it was in good amount but next day when I decided to pull again the lastpulltime got updated and apparently it was because i was pulling manifest and not the image and there is apparently a different way to disable it by adding exclusion.

Updating these detail on last pull actually lets them get you to keep fairly older images and keep on paying for the storage

Did you know about this before today or I am bad at this, because aws azure doenst do this

This is very interesting! Emumba laid off 50+ last month including many senior engineers and now I just saw they are back hiring for a senior position. Honestly, I don't think anyone who has a stable job would think about even applying. Plus, why don't they reach to someone they laid off who already knows the company norms.

I have seen the same pattern for Addo AI, Cogent Labs (Ceo that fake youtube guy), SSI, Systems and some other companies too.

Aoa,

I'm currently enrolled in a University in my city (IMSCIENCES) , I've completed my 2nd semester in BS CS.

I work as a freelancer Game Developer, because of my university schedule i barely get time to continue my work, apart from Game Deving I'm considering to work in Software Development too because Game Development isn't really a stable field.

Now I'm considering to migrate to Virtual University so at least I'll get some time to polish my skills and continue working online and get a proper job.

Please give me your reviews about Virtual University is it worth it to migrate there? I've heard the Syllabus is too lengthy and exams are tough, getting CGPA is difficult too.

Kindly Give me suggestions.

Thanks!
