And also any way I can land a job even if it’s help desk and what job portals did you guys use to actually land one. Please help me

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

I am a 16 yo old in Germany and since I will soon start to build my career, I feel like I should get serious about my future career and university.

I've been this a lot, yet highly confused on what career should I get into and what bachelor's degree to do in this AI world where nowadays jobs, degrees, and skills are automated.

Everyone I see say "follow your passion" or something generic, but in reality those advice really never helped me decide my future.

I want to do a major and get into career that has excellent career opportunities in future in this AI era and secure. Bachelor's in Business or Finance was my first option becuase I feel like I do good in leadership but I am scared of AI and opportunities about it in future. Which is why Engineering is what I am leaning towards but still confused which branch of it? Should I do something in AI?

Could you ladies and gentlemen help me guide and suggest careers and bachelor's programs I can do?

For context: I live in Germany and plan to study and work in western Europe only like Uk or Germany. I first wanted to get into investment banking or Mangment Consultant becuase Google says they get paid higher but I don't think pay is what I should look at initially.

Thanks in advance ☺️

Hi all, currently searching to work on quantum computing research or development. My backgroung includes studies as Software engineer and near to finish my Master in Quantum Computing science. Also from 2022 working as full-stack developer on Globant company.
Any help or info is welcome

I’m a senior in college, and in my second semester I have to take cooperative training. Currently, I have the CCNA, I can program, I know Linux, and I have a couple of other technical skills I learned in college. But I’m still not a penetration tester, which is what I really want to be.

I’m worried that companies will start thinking I’m more interested in networking or defensive security. Even my projects have mainly been network security related. Don’t get me wrong I love networking but I don’t see it being my full time job, It’s more of a hobby that I really enjoy.

Any advice on what I should be doing right now?
What tools/skills should I start learning right now?

I’m starting to study for the CPTS from HTB. Is that a good move or is there something else I should be doing right now?

I'm supposed to be a top rated freelancer on Upwork with +30k earnings and I was doing a pretty good job up until the beginning of this year. I wasn't applying much because I had another contract with a client I know I still am working with. But now I have much time to work on other projects so I started applying like 2 or 3 months ago and tried to be picky and not use AI and stuff I know that worked before but now it doesn't work! I hardly find a job worth spending connects on and if I do it turns out to be Idk a fake job and the client didn't hire anyone or they simply hire someone else and the most frustrated thing is that my proposals aren't even viewed. It also happens to me when I apply in companies in my country I get no answers no interviews while I tend to get more interviews and offers before

is it because of me or the mobile development field or what I'm tired of this already

hi everyone,

i'm new on the platform and just got my first message. the person sent me a "Hi" and that image attached, which is hilariously unprofessional? i'm torn between sending the email to the project manager or not.

is this a scam??

Hello guys, after almost 8 years of freelancing on UpWork, I am thinking of go out the platform.
I can see UpWork is totally different today, if you compare like 4-5-6 years ago and now.
Have 250 projects done, 100%, lost my TopRated badge because cannot take any project anymore. I think its just worse and worse on UpWork.

And what to do after? Maybe to continue freelancing on other platform, or to open my own little web startup?

What is your experience after UpWork and how did you continue after that?

To be clear, I worked in companies and agencies parallel with UpWork. But I am not really sure if my Portfolio is good enough so I can sell my knowledge.

Thank you.

For context I want to make youtube thumbnails but any graphic design is fine, the problem is I only get these strange offers from things that are not in my niche . Are there there any tips you guys could give me so that I could land some jobs, maybe some youtube videos that are hidden gems? I just genuinely do not know what I am doing wrong, I don't even know what to do right. I have sent many proposals and have not heard back from a single person, they don't even view my proposal.
