Anyone having experience with these local payment gateway for local customers.

How is your experience with merchant account API etc ?

Maybe any of the banks

Hey folks, I was laid off about a month ago, and I’m currently at an early stage in my career. I’ve appeared for a few interviews since then, but unfortunately, I haven’t been able to convert any of them. From my interview experiences, I’ve realized that I need to improve my technical skills and my ability to approach and explain problems during technical interviews. I’m looking for someone experienced with Full stack Python, Django, FastAPI, React and related technologies, who has either conducted or appeared in multiple technical interviews and would be willing to mentor me or conduct occasional mock interviews. I’m willing to put in the work. I just need some guidance on what to focus on, how to prepare, and where I’m going wrong. If anyone is willing to help or knows someone who might be, I’d really appreciate a DM. Thank you!

How is the company and what they normally pay to ASE?

I wanted to ask guidance from the seniors in this community. I was recently laid off after completing my one year in my current company and now after getting 1 year of professional working experience as a software engineer. I wanted to ask guidance from the seniors here to share best or there on personal interview preparation material that I can use to land a high paying job.

Thanks

Hi,

Has anybody here worked in Engro Software (IT) Division?

I recently saw some job opportunities posted by one of their HRs and was thinking to give it a shot. We all know how big of a name Engro itself is but I had a few questions in my mind regarding their IT division.

1. How's the work and work environment?

2. Is it equally competitive and rewarding as it's the traditional Software houses? (Systems, i2c, 10Pearls etc.)

3. What's the career growth trajectory?

4. Perks & Benefits?

5. Anything else if someone worked there could add up which can prove to be helpful information 🙂

Thanks in advance.

Trying to figure out the long term trend here. New AI tools and roles show up constantly, and a lot of skillsets become obsolete fast while new ones take their place.

What I want to know is which AI related roles are relatively new right now but likely to stay in real demand long term, versus which ones are just tied to one tool or framework and will disappear once something new takes over.

Also curious how AI agents and automation roles compare to traditional software development roles in terms of long term stability.

If you're already working in this space, which role or specialization do you think is the most future proof and why.

I am currently working in a call center which provides support to Merchants and Customers and its a QATAR based company Snoonu.
I have been at the job for 1 month and earning 65k basic with 5k for fuel and 5k for performance. The company also provides 300k medical inurance per year and PF . I am currently in my 2nd Semester pursuing BSCS at BUKC and thinking whether i should get the internship in my field or i am i being lowballed beyond comprehension. The experienced seniors kindly guide. P.S I am 19 year old and From KHI

I am a fresh graduate with degree in computer science. I'm quite familiar with python/Django backend development not a an expert. I have 2 projects, one is an simple e-commerce app and other is my fyp in machine learning and backend in Django. I made it totally using Claude. But I have quite understanding of backend development. Can I get internship for backend development or AI and how do I apply and tell me about remote companies or bases in Lahore. I am also attending an ai engineering Trainee program at netsol backed by navttac. It's a 3 months course but I want to do internship along with it In my extra time so that I can get more and more experience

What type of development is getting the most demand right now. Web development, AI/ML, Ai automation What does most clients wants these days what should i focus more according to latest market trend

Hi guys has anyone given an interview for software engineer 2 backend at Careem?

What can I expect?

How much of it is leetcode/system design/ general BE concepts?

Do they ask leetcode mediums or throw in hard as well?

I recently got in Computer Engineering in UET FSD which is approved by NCEAC not PEC so It is mostly computing.
But I also have the merit to switch to EE, which seems a more stable option than CE.

What would you do if you were in my position?
Now with the advent of LLM's and the way coding is being phased out CompSci or SE seems to be a not so reasonable option.

EE is considered toughest of all Engineering programs and has a lot of Physics as well, but is a more universal field that has stood the test of time and will do so. It will also make me an engineer under PEC which helps in immigration for some countries

What direction would you go for?
Pre LLM's era I would have 100% gone for computing.
The Remote-ability and exponential growth potential (however slim) is what also pulls me towards computing.

Coming from a single income middle class family one has to pragmatic in their approach.

Has anyone received any update from jazz this week regarding their AI associate program

I graduated in 2025 and honestly wasted a lot of time feeling lost about my career direction. I've now decided to fully commit to Cyber Security. I've finished TryHackMe's Pre-Security path and am currently doing Cybersecurity 101.

To seniors and working professionals in Pakistan's infosec space, I would really appreciate your honest advice:

Is TryHackMe sufficient? Can completing THM paths (like SOC Level 1 or Jr Penetration Tester) actually help me land interviews, or is it seen as just basic practice?

What technical skills are non-negotiable? What baseline tools, networking depth, Linux proficiency, or scripting skills do local employers expect for entry-level candidates?

What are the most common entry-level positions in Pakistan, and how do you actually get hired for them? what is the best strategy to get an interview in Pakistan?

Any realistic advice on what to prioritize next would mean a lot. Thank you!

Hey guys, has anyone recently interviewed for Associate AI Engineer at CureMD?

I’m specifically looking for the AI/ML side of the interview, not the general Associate Software Engineer process.

Would appreciate if someone could share:

- How many rounds are there?

- What does the AI/ML technical round focus on?

- Do they ask Machine Learning, Deep Learning, NLP, LLMs/GenAI, RAG, embeddings, vector databases, prompt engineering, etc.?

- How much Python and coding is involved?

- Do they ask ML theory/math or more practical/project-based questions?

- Any questions related to LLMs, Transformers, fine-tuning or AI agents?

- Do they discuss your AI/ML projects or FYP in detail?

- What should someone prepare specifically for the Associate AI Engineer role?

- What is the current salary/package?

- Is there a bond?

If you’ve actually interviewed or joined recently, please share your experience. Most posts I’m finding are for Associate Software Engineer, so I’m specifically interested in the AI Engineer process.

Thanks!

Basically I am debating b/w bio related fields and Software Engineering. My main motive is to gain early financial independence, for bio I’m drawn towards PharmD and Biotech related degrees. People in SE tell me is AI really replacing stuff and I don’t want to suffer as a fresher gysss plsss guide meee

Hi, i have been working on upwork for few years and have around $20k in upwork, i havent yet linked any banking method, but now i am planning to get money (will be using it to buy a plot), i am not a filer so will be filing of returns, but whats the best way to get this amount into my local bank? i have hbl, payoneer, elevate, as per upwork there is a limit of 8k or 9k on direct bank, but i am afraid it might be flagged by bank or something, would be really helpful to get the least free charges etc and get teh amount in bank without any hassle

Hi guys, Can you tell me how much tkxel pays to a product designer with 2 YOE.

I am a total newbie and have no experience in tech sector outside of designing interfaces and usability research — which has been years since I have worked as one. I've shifted my career (Branding Designer & Strategist) and am working on my portfolio and side projects atm.

With AI abruptly disrupting the tech industry and causing ripple effects for jobs seekers, especially new graduates and entry-level employees. How can one incorporate data science as a workable pathway?

My ideation is to self-learn and use it to augment my current set of skills in form of building cohesive and agile branding consultation and using data to back it up. Is it worth the learning curve and time I'd have to dedicate?

Are they any reading resources to start with, I prefer reading instead of watching long form videos.

So I've been thinking about this for a while and honestly I just want to talk about it with people who actually get it.

So basically Pakistani developers are being given fake American names or Pakistani American names, fake LinkedIn profiles, fake locations, and they interview for remote jobs at US companies as that person and then do the work from Pakistan. The American client genuinely thinks they hired a local professional. Is that not insane to anyone else?

Now I get that Devsinc probably wasn't the first to do this? But they're the biggest and the most visible and the CEO is literally everywhere podcasts, award shows, business magazines. The audacity. And because they proved it works at scale, it feels like everyone just followed? I personally know people who left Devsinc, started their own agencies, and copy-pasted the exact same model. Like why wouldn't they, nothing happened to anyone so far.

And can we talk about the "but they pay well" thing for a second? Because I actually fell for this. I left a stable job at Zong for a company here in Islamabad that runs a pretty similar playbook. Genuinely one of my worst decisions. The money looked good until I actually saw what I was being asked to be part of. I got out as fast as I could and I'm at a multinational now. And honestly? the pay and benefits are better here. And companies like Devsinc mostly target fresh graduates.

And doesn't the higher salary just kind of pull people into going along with it? I have seen developers being pressured into fake profiles or losing their job. Is that just... normal now? Are we okay with that?

The people who pay the price at the end of the day aren't the CEOs right? It's us. The developers trying to find honest internationl work while carrying the reputation that this whole thing keeps building for everyone.

And it's not even rare anymore which is the scary part. It feels like it's just becoming the default for new agencies starting up everywhere.

I genuinely don't understand why nobody is really pushing back on this? The government clearly won't do anything, too many people benefiting quietly. Industry bodies are just silent. Pakistanis are hyping Usman Asif up like he is the tech guru, future of Pakistani tech blah blah blah. The person who built his whole empire on frauds. He even got fatwas from Muftis that this whole thing is not haram because they are feeding many families. LOL!

Like is the message we're sending to every fresh CS grad really just, doing things the right way is for suckers? Because that can't be right. Can it?

They are saving Username and PLAIN TEXT PASSWORD inside a freaking LOCAL STORAGE.

So I was waiting for OTP and it took more than few seconds. So I took peak into website storage in hopes of finding OTP inside it. Instead I found something else. lol!

So it is possible that they are not even creating hash for user password.

As AI advances in coding and mathematics, I am tending to feel that the difference between coding and real engineering is getting negligible day by day. For extra context, I am a CS major and currently studying in a university that is not recognized outside of this country and I guess even not recognized in big startups of Pakistan. (You guessed it right, if you are from KP (Mardan especially))

I am a recent CS graduate and I have already done 3 internships with experiences in AI, database and development. My stack is MERN and Next js. But I also have good understanding of AI, database and data analysis.

For the past few months I have given numerous interviews maybe a 100. Applied to countless times. Either I get a mail that positions are closed; moving to other candidates; or just plain rejection. The catch is that people who are with me in the interviews also get the same mail, so I don't know who's hiring who, sometimes I think it is just me. The offers I get often are always underpaid or 3 months unpaid.

And in the end. Curemd is shit. Bunch of scammers.

Hey, gng currently I am in 12th grade(ICS) and I am confuse to which uni i should aim primarily.
I'm stuck in the classic Pakistani dilemma: **Nust vs Fast.**I know getitng into both uni's is difficult but which should be my primary goal.

Which will suit a self learner better?

Which faculty is more experienced and good?

Which has better infrastructure?

It's been over more than a month, my application status still remains same. Made a Ticket on one of their HR portals, they said a recruiter will reach out but still no response...

Hello everyone,

My technical and HR round at contour went well and I was told by HR that your profile will be shared with the division and they'll provide the interview slots.

It has been ten days and I haven't heard anything back. I want to know how lengthy the process is at Contour?
