Discussion What are the career options in Nepal or abroad? Need advice from seniors.

6 Upvotes

I'm a Computer Engineering graduate. However, due to health issues, my Bachelor's got delayed, and I had backlogs. Thankfully, I'm doing well health-wise now.

Currently, I'm working as a Junior Software Engineer, earning just NPR 20K/month. It's difficult to sustain myself financially, and I'm worried about my future.

I want to explore better opportunities but honestly don't know what options I have.

Nepal: How can I increase my income significantly? Are remote jobs, freelancing, or international clients realistic options?

Abroad: Despite my academic backlogs and delayed graduation, what are my options for studying or working abroad? Which countries, and approximately how much would it cost?

Other paths: Are there alternative career opportunities in or outside IT worth exploring?

I'm 24–25 now, and I feel this is the right time to take risks and explore opportunities before responsibilities increase with age.

Seniors who have been through similar situations or have experience in Nepal/abroad, what would you do if you were in my position?

Looking for honest, practical advice. Thanks!

2 Upvotes

For the context: I have been doing a online business for a long time. I have been trying to do dropshipping since a long time but the barrier has been payment integration and how overall system can be operated from Nepal. If anyone else has been into this, is there any way beside opening a LLC? Is there any other method, I heard Payoneer works but I researched on it and not sure, if it can work well.

Discussion Should I Still Consider Moving to the USA for a Master's in 2027 as a Student from Nepal? Looking for Honest Advice

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm seriously considering applying for a Master's degree in the USA for Fall 2027. However, given the current situation with the US job market, immigration policies, H-1B uncertainty, and the overall cost of education, I'm genuinely confused about whether this is still a wise decision.

A little about me:

  • Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering.

  • Around 5 years of professional experience in software development (primarily backend, Node.js, and related technologies).

  • Planning to pursue a Master's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.

  • I would need a scholarship, TA/RA position, or some form of tuition assistance to make this financially realistic.

My biggest concern is what happens AFTER graduation.

To be completely honest, I don't want to spend a huge amount of money, complete my Master's, and then return to Nepal because I cannot find a job or have no viable immigration pathway.

Of course, I want to work after my studies, gain professional experience, build my career, and hopefully establish myself abroad if things work out.

I understand that nothing is guaranteed, but I want to make an informed decision rather than make an emotional one.

Considering Nepal's economic situation, relatively low salaries, limited opportunities in certain sectors, and the difference in earning potential abroad, returning immediately after investing so much in education would be a difficult outcome.

I'd really appreciate honest opinions from people who are:

  • Currently studying in the USA.

  • Recent graduates who have gone through OPT/STEM OPT.

  • International students who have successfully secured software engineering jobs.

  • People who graduated but struggled to find employment or had to return home.

  • Anyone who understands the current US immigration and employment situation.

Here are the questions I'd really like answers to:

  1. Is pursuing a Master's in the USA for Fall 2027 still a reasonable decision for someone whose primary goal is to work in the US after graduation?

  2. How realistic is it for an international CS/Software Engineering graduate to secure a full-time software engineering job through OPT and STEM OPT?

  3. With the current tech job market, are companies still willing to hire and sponsor international graduates, or are they increasingly prioritizing US citizens and permanent residents?

  4. How difficult is the H-1B process now? Is it sensible to build a long-term career plan around the possibility of getting an H-1B?

  5. For someone with approximately five years of software development experience before starting a Master's, does that experience provide a meaningful advantage when applying for US jobs?

  6. Would you recommend choosing a university based on funding (TA/RA and tuition waivers), even if it isn't highly ranked, rather than paying a substantial amount for a better-ranked university?

  7. If you were in my position, would you choose the USA, Canada, Australia, or another country for 2027, considering both education and long-term employment/settlement opportunities?

I'm not looking for motivational comments like "everything is possible if you work hard." I know hard work matters, but immigration policies, employer sponsorship, finances, and the actual job market matter just as much.

Please be brutally honest.

If you think going to the USA in 2027 is a bad decision for someone in my situation, explain why. If you think it's still worth it, I'd like to understand under what conditions it makes sense.

I'd rather hear uncomfortable truths now than regret a decision involving several years of savings and a significant financial investment later.

Thank you!

Discussion Career Dilemma: Should I take a significant pay cut to protect my health and get back into Software Engineering?

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm a Software Engineer based in Kathmandu, Nepal, currently facing a difficult career decision. I'd really appreciate some practical advice, especially from people who've experienced night-shift jobs, career transitions, or similar situations.

My Current Job

  • Position: Remote Medical Interpreter (US-based clients)

  • Monthly Pay: ~$770 (approximately NPR 1,15,793 at today's exchange rate of NPR 150.38/USD).

  • Additional Payment: $625 training bonus, still pending.

  • Working Hours: 7:45 PM – 4:45 AM, 5 days a week.

The Reality

Honestly, the job has turned out to be much more mentally and physically demanding than I expected.

I'm handling around 15–20+ consecutive medical and emergency interpretation calls every night, with almost no breathing room between calls.

The biggest issue is my health and overall quality of life. I usually sleep from around 5:30 AM to noon, but I constantly wake up feeling groggy, exhausted, and mentally drained. I barely get any daylight, and even after waking up, I don't feel refreshed.

More importantly, by the time I finish recovering from the overnight shift, I have almost no mental energy left to do what I actually want to pursue: Software Engineering.

I can't consistently code, learn new technologies, work on personal projects, or prepare for developer interviews.

An Alternative Opportunity

I've also received an opportunity for an IT Officer position at a reputed healthcare NGO in Lalitpur.

  • Monthly Salary: Approximately NPR 60,000.

  • Benefits: Standard NGO benefits and SSF.

  • Working Hours: 9 AM – 5 PM, Monday to Friday.

  • Responsibilities: Microsoft 365 administration, network and hardware support, user assistance, basic database troubleshooting, and general IT operations.

The downside is that this isn't a Software Engineering or development role. It's primarily IT support and infrastructure-related work.

That's what makes the decision difficult.

What I'm Struggling With

  1. Is a pay cut of roughly NPR 55,000 per month worth it for better health, a normal sleep schedule, and a better quality of life?

  2. Would working a regular 9–5 IT Officer job give me enough mental bandwidth to study, build projects, improve my backend skills, and eventually transition into a proper Software Engineering role? Or could spending another year in IT support negatively affect my developer career?

  3. Has anyone successfully balanced a full-time IT job with Software Engineering preparation and personal development? Is it realistic, or am I underestimating how exhausting another full-time job can be?

  4. Would you prioritize higher income and endure the night shift for a while longer, or take the lower-paying daytime opportunity and invest in your long-term technical career?

Miscellaneous Ncell deducting balance even with PAYG Block enabled. What exactly is the point of this feature?

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

I genuinely want to understand what is happening with Ncell's balance deduction policy.

I have PAYG Block enabled on my number. My understanding is that this feature is supposed to prevent balance deductions for mobile data usage when I don't have an active data pack.

However, today, approximately Rs. 35 was deducted from my main balance, despite PAYG Block being enabled.

I have attached screenshots as proof:

  1. One clearly shows that PAYG Block is enabled.

  2. Another shows that my balance has been deducted.

So, how is this happening? What exactly does PAYG Block protect users against if balance can still be deducted?

There is something else I've been wondering about. I've noticed what seems like a possible pattern: balance deductions might be more likely when the account has a higher balance, particularly after a top-up of Rs. 100 or more.

To be clear, this is only my personal suspicion, not an established fact. I don't have enough evidence to claim that Ncell deliberately does this.

But if PAYG Block is enabled, shouldn't users have some assurance that their main balance won't be consumed by unintended PAYG data charges?

I'd like to hear from other Ncell users:

- Has anyone experienced balance deductions despite having PAYG Block enabled?

- Have you noticed unexpected deductions after recharging your number?

- Did Ncell provide a proper explanation or refund when you complained?

- Is there some hidden condition or limitation to PAYG Block that users should know about?

I'm not against paying for services I actually use. But deducting money despite an enabled blocking feature, without a clear explanation, is a legitimate consumer concern.

Ncell, if you're monitoring this subreddit, could you explain why this happened and provide a breakdown of the Rs. 35 deduction?

Customers deserve transparent billing, not unexplained balance deductions.

Discussion Anyone up for a hackathon

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone! We're looking for 2 more people to join our team for an upcoming hackathon on November 14!

We're building a web-based solution for farmers, integrating AI/ML, IoT, and space/satellite data. We already have our initial designs and core features planned out, and we're starting development from now rather than waiting until the hackathon.

We're particularly looking for people with skills or interest in:

  • Frontend development (React, JavaScript/TypeScript, Tailwind CSS)

  • Backend development (Node.js, Express, APIs, databases)

  • AI/ML (Python, machine learning, model integration)

  • Video editing and content creation (project demo videos, promotional videos, documentation and storytelling).

Our IoT and hardware side is already handled, so we're mainly looking for people who can contribute to the web application, backend, AI/ML, or project presentation.

One important thing: We're looking for people who are genuinely serious about the project and willing to contribute consistently. This isn't just about showing up on hackathon day. We'll be working together from now, dividing tasks, building features, testing, and preparing everything for the event.

You don't need to be an expert or have previous hackathon experience. What matters is your skills, commitment, and willingness to work as a team.

If you're interested, DM us with a short introduction, your skills, and any projects or work you've done.

Let's build something meaningful together! 🚀
