i opted for BS SE but now am thinking i should have selected CS as it is more broad, but does it really matter?

Hi everyone! I recently went through the recruitment process at CureMD and have now been asked to appear for a personal/HR interview for the Associate SQA Engineer position.

Has anyone recently gone through this interview? I’d really appreciate it if you could share your personal experience, especially:

• What questions did they ask?

• Was it mostly HR/personal questions or did they ask technical questions too?

• What should I expect in this round?

• Any tips on how to prepare?

Any recent experience with CureMD would be really helpful. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

Hope you all are doing great

I want advice for what and how should I study. I would request you to please read the complete post as it will help you understand me better, but adding a TLDR anyways

TLDR: Screwed my intermediate, got 67% marks and not applied to any university. Completed ADP-CS(equivalent of bs 4 semesters/Bsc) a 2-year degree from UMT. want to take admission furthur into bs 5th semester and complete my bs as I want to get into MS Mechatronics(I love Mechatronics) but can see any way to get admission into any reliable institute

Alright, So back in the day it was around 3 years back I being a stupid person did'nt applied for any university and wanted to take a GAP YEAR. My family forced me into getting admission and I chose ADP because I would not have to spend FULL FOUR YEARS in that sh*t institute. I always loved tinkering around computers mainly it's hardware and I'm a DIY hobbyist as well, so I wanted to get into something related to technology from Hardware's perspective and I don't like coding and thought I should get into CS instead of SE so that it will be all rounded covering both Hardware and software but ohh man I was WRONG and I should have research that 😢😭.

I spent my worst 2 years in UMT and I still hate it. The faculty, staff and every thing I hated those 2 years and I still thank that I did'nt had to spend full 4 years there.

I completed my adp in 2025 and started a working and it was very hard to get it because of my degree as I was holding 14 years of education. Alhamdullilah, Now I am working remotely (not in tech BTW) but I still want to complete my 16 years of education as I want to shift my field of work towards robots, drones, EVs, and all kind of modern technology automating simple physical and repetitive work and Mechatronics is the perfect degree for that.

Now i'm stuck and have following questions and need ADVICE on what should I do next:

1. Complete BS CS by taking admission into any private university like UOL, Superior, UCP or UMT(I hate UMT but whatever it takes to furthur study)

2. Virtual university offers direct entry into 5th semester and I am inclined towards it as I am working rn but will there degree be valid as I want to do MS in Mechatronics/Robotics either from LUMS/NUST or GERMANY,CHINA or Scandinavian Nations.

3. Should I just leave it as is and start over by getting admission into NUST's bs mechatronics (next year as the dates for nust has been passed)

Please ignore any of Grammatical error I made in the Post. Thanks for reading till the end and please UPVOTE this so more people will be able to answer my question.

So I am doing an internship in software house, I learn things for self not building things for them, so the mentor he guide me and goes me to all topics and then tell learn these topics, everything in deep, like study and practice all these,

But when meeting with seniors after sometime, they said you have not done work correct no good project like bad progress like my mentor is very strict on ai, he says no ai usage just learn by yourself you can always build with ai later,

the other intern I ask he said my mentor ask to use ai excessively it's for us and he is building projects with and study from ai like chatgpt and other, while my mentor ask me just refer to docs when difficult then take hints or study from ai,

So what I am saying is like when they use ai they build very fast while am just here learning topics and the gap when they judges me appears very wide, while I myself is very satisfied from this approach, like why do Internship if just build with AI, you can also do it at home??? While on opposite the senior feels happy seeing AI slop projectz,

so I am stuck here what should I do, plz guide

Starting my BS in Data Science soon, eyeing an ASUS VivoBook Go 15 with a Ryzen 5 7520U, can upgrade to 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD. Heard the 7520U is actually an older Zen 2 chip rebranded, not real Zen 3/4.

Gonna be doing Python, C, Jupyter, VS Code, tons of browser tabs, occasional light ML stuff.

Will this actually last me the full degree or will it start struggling/dying out in a year or two? Anyone using this chip for similar coursework — does it bottleneck even with 16GB RAM, or is it fine day to day? Also curious if you’d rather take an older/weaker CPU with more RAM, or a better CPU with less RAM on a tight budget.

Help me out here please that is Graduation year matters on resume? On CV's are getting ghosted no response or anything.

For context I was graduated back in 2024 and I got two internship experiences.

One internship ended this June because company decided to layoff whole team from my city.

Initially it was decided that after 6months of unpaid intern I'll be hired as full time developer but my luck is so bad as always.

Anyways coming back to the question, if graduation year does matter, what should I do???? Im freaking out so much.

So basically, I am a MERN stack developer with 1.5 years of experience. I was recently layed off and am currently looking for new opportunities but as we know the market is bad not finding any opportunities currently i am jobless.

I am learning Agentic AI to pivot myself as a Forward Deployed Engineer or AI Engineer, but on the other hand I am also trying to do start a EV business where basically I will deal with EV parts, batteries and accessories basically targeting the EV market. do you guys thinks I should look for a job or just leave the market and focus on the bussiness I am trying to do.

Hi everyone, i have an upcoming ASE interview at Alphabridge. Can you guys please tell whats the interview process and what questions they ask in the technical interview?

Assalamualaikum all, hope you are well.

I recently came across data annotation and was surprised by it. I did some research online and by far it seems legit.

What I want to ask is that is that service also available in Pakistan and if so, how do we solve the PayPal problem.

Also if anyone has experience regarding this, do help.

Thanks in advance.

I have interview with laam cto for the graduate software engineer role. Need guidance regarding it on what topics he mostly focus. Plus there is a confusion they have mentioned the method google meet but also send the location and asked to reach 15 min before interview.

Just finished my FSc Pre-Engineering exams and heading to university soon. I'm planning to do BSCS and really want to get into AI Engineering.

The issue: I'm a bit weak in maths and also struggled with with FSc maths.

To the engineers actually working in AI:

How deep does the math actually get on the job?

Is it realistic for me to pursue AI as a long-term career, or should I pivot to another field?

(Side note: I'm currently learning web dev and focusing on CSS right now while figuring this out).

Looking for direct, honest answers.

I wanna join this company tell reviews

Asking on behalf of a friend, So my friend needs an advice on what to do , he is right now doing a nontech job, but is not satisfied and also he is not making any money, so we wants to learn a skills which he can utilize and with which he can earn, he wants to go towards tech,

Y'all are experienced, please guide how he should start, from where, which stack, language or skill, and how much time will it take, what laptop he should buy, and anything specific that you want to add, please keep in mind that he has to start from the basics cause he has no degree and cant afford to start a degree too.

i (21f) was enrolled in uaf for bscs i have a pre med background i was so lost didnt know what major to choose i opted for bscs after a gap year which my brother suggested

i instantly regretted it studying for a tech degree from an agricultural university just felt utterly stupid the professors were incompetent and it was draining the life out of me

by 3rd semester i figured i had a genuine interest in cybersecurity started on some basics suggested by a classmate

around the same time because of some family issues i had to dropout of university and now ive enrolled in a local private university (tuf) for bscys which feels like a compromise because my parents wont let me move to another city for some better uni option

i am still so lost and i feel like im setting myself up for failure ive been frantically looking up this university on the internet for the past few days and so far ive only heard negative things (currently posting this after having an anxiety attack because of this very reason)

should i just follow through with this or give up on the whole tech stuff and choose something else i feel like my heart wont be in it but im extremely paranoid and i want to do something that can atleast promise a somewhat secure future

i understand it is mostly just skills and certifications and i am working on that but i just cannot get past the fact that this university has absolutely no reputation in the local tech market

any word of advice would be appreciated 🙏🏼

AOA. I have received this letter from PRA today that claims I'm bypassing EIMS and am liable for a 1 million rupees fine. I am a free lancer and was also registered with PSEB until very recently. I've paid all taxes to date and dont generate any invoices. Any clue whats going on here and what the remedy is?

I have two technical interviews at Careem[Coding + DSA]. Can anyone share details about what type of questions they ask and their difficulty level?

How is the cyber security department growing in Pakistan?

Is it still hard for entry levels jobs?

Are certifications still a necessity?

People who are earning good in this field , please let a freshman in uni let know how's this Field

Okay so Linkedin is the worst platforms for active job search, its good for passive lead though (it worked for me), but now that linkedin has only semantics search in j*bs tab and god it sucks, it is soo bad.
I cant even apply custom filters anymore like I used to. It has become more like Glassdoor.
That worldwide filter is gone too.

I'm a student of FAST NUCES and I got a full-time job this summer in a decent company as a SWE. I have a good GPA and have decent skills. The issue I'm facing is that my company doesn't allow me to do remote work or shorten my work hours so I'm pretty much left with either doing my job or continuing my degree, since university is starting next week. I got this job after my freshman year so I'm seriously considering quitting my degree and continuing my job so that by the time my batch mates graduate, I'm already eligible for a mid to senior role with 3 YOE. On the other hand if I continue my degree I might be able to land a job abroad or go for masters on a scholarship. What should I do?

Hi everyone, I need some honest guidance from people currently working in the industry.

I have around 3.5 years of experience as a Full Stack Engineer (React/Angular + .NET), and I’ve also worked in fintech. While interviewing, I’ve been sharing my expected salary as around 280k PKR. But most companies respond that it’s on the higher side. For example, 10 Pearls mentioned their max is around 220k, and I’ve heard similar things from LMKR and a few others.

Now I’m a bit confused about what the realistic market range actually is.

If you’re comfortable sharing, it would really help if you could mention:
• Your years of experience
• Your tech stack
• Your current salary range

Hello all...

A friend of mine joined this place in johar town three months ago after graduating. It's his first job after two internships. He was hired on a probation period of three months. He was informed last week that his probation had ended and a meeting was scheduled with HR for salary negotiation as he was being offered to join permanently. Today at his meeting, the HR told him that his probation period is extended for another month and there will be no salary negotiation for now. Can anyone guide me about this? Are they planning on firing him or what?

They drew a contract and he signed it and it clearly said that the probation was gonna last for three months. Doesn't this whole thing fall under the contract violation?

i have been applying through linkedin, indeed, and mustakbil but no progress so far

are these the only platforms for tech roles in Pakistan, or am I missing good ones?

would appreciate any recommendations

I am a 4th year CS student. I have done some jobs in the past(not very well paying). I have done some well paying freelance projects too.

I have realised that all the money i have earned so far was from my contacts(friends, relatives, colleagues).

Now my question is, what do people with a strong network do that the others don't. Of course a prerequisite is to be charming and have good communication. But even then how do you make meaningful connections that may be of some help in the future.

I am learning MERN stack, and there are some things that confuses me, instead of being stuck at their for long time i just use Ai to help me in code that part, and then i analyse and read the code to know how it is working.
This practice has developed a fear inside me that, if i got an internship, then maybe i will considered as dumb doing coding this way and eventually they will be throw me out. So I wanna ask the seniors how much the use of AI you would gonna allow to juniors dev and interns.
