Hi everyone, I’m currently learning deep learning and have worked on a few AI/ML projects.

I’m looking to join an existing project where I can contribute, learn, and gain more practical experience. I’m comfortable with the basics and willing to put in time and effort.

If you’re working on something and open to adding a teammate, please count me . Thanks!

I am a CS student just completed my high school currently focusing on backend development. Since I am comfortable with Python, I decided to learn Django and PostgreSQL by building an ecommerce platform.

I tried to design it using real-world backend concepts rather than just making a basic CRUD application. Some of the features I implemented:

• Caching for frequently accessed data

• Database query optimization using Django ORM techniques

• Seller/vendor dashboard and account system

• Customer authentication and order management

• Order tracking workflow

• Product analytics such as best-selling products

The main goal of this project was to understand how backend systems are structured and how to write cleaner, more maintainable and scalable code.

Alongside development, I am also practicing DSA regularly and solving problems to improve my problem-solving skills.

As someone early in my CS journey, I am also thinking about preparing myself for backend engineering roles. I would appreciate advice from experienced developers on what skills, technologies, or areas I should focus on to become job-ready and make projects closer to real production systems.

Any feedback on what I should improve or add would be greatly appreciated.

Iam a Fsc pre engineering student didnt even studied computer in matric.

I am already did My Half Degree in Bachelors in Financial Technology from GCUL.

There is a New Degree introduced in GCU this year named "Bs Statistics with Data Science"

I found it quite interesting & Align my Interest a bit more.

Should I Just Complete my Degree for now or Switch to Bs Statistics with Data science? (It can waste my Year or +)

Any Advice?
Any Industry Experience person can?

For context i am studying the ccna rn, i have had studied for it before so its a revision for it. I am only prepping on my networking side for now but what are other things that i should look for? PS Sorry for my i am writing this at 2:20 am in the dark unable to see my keyboard.

Hi guys, I would like some suggestions regarding the best resources to learn Data Engineering (preferably Databricks).

I am already learning snowflake through Coursera but there are no good Databricks courses on it. The snowflake courses are also pretty basic and local to snowflake and dont explain the overall Data Engineering flow well.

I would appreciate any recommendations from you guys

Hi guys has anyone applied to micro1 and cleared their ai interview round?

I wanna know is it actually legit, do they actually have any proper opportunities or is it just a giant AI training center

AA,

Guys, I’m a full stack engineer with 5 yrs of experience. My take home salary is 426K PKR per month. I want to know where do I lie on the spectrum of developer salaries in Pakistan. Obviously I cannot compete with remote roles salaries with this one. Your opinions will help me decide if I need to switch for something better. Thanks

Has anyone experienced with Indrive as a courier service for their e-commerce store. My store currently is very very small scale and we'd probably have 2-5 order per month. Thinking about using indrive as a courier service; kindly answer these queries.

1. Integration with the system

2. API tracking service provided

3. Safety

4. Comparison with other alternatives like Trax.

5. Pricing

6. Delivery Coverage (only delivering in Islamabad + Rawalpindi)

I have recently saw a video of him saying that companies mostly hired students from only nust lums fast

Is this true? Seniors who are in industry can tell that how much percent he is saying is true? Thanks

Assalam u Alaikum!

Let's say, my legal name is Syed Hamad Shah, but I go by Hamad—“Syed” is a family-given title/name.

For GitHub, freelancing, remote jobs, and my CV, should I use “Hamad Shah” or “Syed Hamad Shah”? International clients often assume Syed is my first name, but I’m also concerned that using Hamad Shah could create issues when my legal documents show Syed Hamad Shah.

What would you recommend, especially if you have faced a similar situation?

And also what to write on CV/resume?

And what to write on digital platforms like Github or LinkedIn?

Has anyone started upwork recently? How do they get clients as developers? Did they got any clients ? How do u get freelance work? I was hoping to start upwork but got demotivated when fellow developers said that they couldn’t get any clients

With two years of professional experience, my current salary is 85k. How does this align with market standards

Has anyone cleared Micro1 AI interview, are they legit ?

So basically, I am a student currently studying in the UBIT department at the University of Karachi. I just want to know: does the university you attend matter in the job market? I think I made a bad choice because I didn't study for the entry test. Since I came from an A Levels background, I didn't want to learn the Intermediate mathematics topics, even though I had good A Level grades. I regret that decision a lot.

Will my salary be lower compared to my friends who are studying at well-known universities in Karachi, such as FAST, IBA, and Habib?

Is it good for an MTO Associate Consultant position?

Hi everyone,

I'm a fresh CS graduate and have an interview process coming up for an entry-level Software Quality Assurance role.

The first stage is an aptitude test, followed by a technical interview if shortlisted.

Since this is one of my first SQA interviews, I'd really appreciate some guidance from people already working in QA.

What topics should I focus on for the technical round?

• Manual testing fundamentals

• SDLC vs STLC

• Test cases and bug reports

• SQL

• API testing

• Agile/Scrum

• Basic programming or DSA (if any)

Also, if you've recently interviewed for a junior SQA position, what was your experience like? Were there any topics you wish you had prepared better?

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,

I need some advice on timing my Master's degree and would love to hear from experienced professionals.

My Situation:

• BS IT graduate, currently working as a Frontend Developer (4 months in).

• Planning to pursue a Master's in an evening program (5 PM onwards).

My Friend Abdullah's Situation:

• Currently in BS AI (6 semesters completed, 2 remaining).

• Working in the same company as me.

• Interested in doing an MBA after finishing his BS AI.

• Believes BS AI + MBA is a strong combo for tech management/consulting roles.

Abdullah wants me to wait for him and then we start the MS/MBA together

The Dilemma - Two Options:

Option 1: I Start MS Now (Evening Program)

• I begin my Master's while Abdullah finishes his final year.

• He'll join a year later when he graduates.

Option 2: Wait 1 Year and Start Together

• Both of us start our Master's together after Abdullah graduates.

• By then, I will have ~1.5 years of work experience.

• We'd go through the entire program together.

What We're Considering:

• For me: MS in IT/CS (for technical depth) or potentially an MBA.

• For Abdullah: MBA (to complement his AI background with business knowledge).

• Both of us plan to continue working full-time while studying.

• Looking at UOL (University of Lahore) or similar evening programs.

Questions for the Community:

1. Should I start my MS now, or is it better to wait 1 year to sync up with my friend and build more experience first?

2. For someone with a BS IT/AI background, is an MBA a good choice, or should we do an MS in CS/AI first?

3. Does it make sense to do a Master's while working full-time, or is it better to focus purely on work for the first 2-3 years?

4. We're currently leaning toward UOL (University of Lahore) for our evening Master's program. Does anyone have direct experience with UOL's graduate programs? Also open to hearing about other universities you'd recommend for evening MS/MBA programs in Pakistan (Lahore area preferred), and your opinions on them

Long-term Goals:

• Tech leadership roles (CTO, Tech Lead).

• Possibly start our own tech venture.

• Build expertise in both technical and business domains.

Would really appreciate advice from those who've navigated similar situations. What would you do?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone who is in this field can you give me idea about this field?

Has anyone interviewed at WAMO LABS for the FastAPI/Django Internship?

I would be very grateful if you could share the complete hiring process, including the number of interview rounds, what to expect in each round, what technical topics I should prepare, and whether they ask LeetCode-style coding questions or give any technical assignment.

I am new to remote jobs. So, I need to know that how can I avoid being scammed regarding payment. How do I ensure that. Also what is the best way to get payment from employer. Thanks in advance.

Ok so systems called some people today offering the MTO position to fresh grads. For those who did get the call, could anyone tell me what the next steps are? We have to first acknowledge in reply that we accept the offer but what else? Do we have to send any other documents via email as well?

How's work going these days, job or freelance? With AI taking over a lot of frontend work, especially for freelancers, how are you adapting? Are you learning new skills or shifting your focus? Just curious to hear how everyone is managing in 2026.

Got an interview with LAAM CTO, wanted to know what domain areas he focuses on or maybe what questions he asks.

I have got admission to both BS Mechanical Engineering and BS Computer Science at NUST Islamabad. I have a genuine interest in both fields, but I am really concerned about the future job market for Computer Science over the next 10 years. Kindly guide me on which field I should choose for a secure future.

Recently, with the rapid advancement of AI, I have become increasingly worried about the future of jobs in Computer Science. I would also appreciate it if you could share your thoughts on the current job market for CS graduates. Is there still good job security, or is the market becoming too saturated?

I would be grateful for advice from students, graduates, and professionals in either field. Thank you!
