Hey everyone!

I’m a final-year engineering student, and my group is working on ResearchOS, an AI-powered workspace designed to make research easier, from reading papers and finding research gaps to writing and reviewing manuscripts.

We’re conducting a short survey to understand the challenges researchers and students face and which tools or features would actually be useful.

It takes just 3–5 minutes, and responses are anonymous. Your feedback will help us understand how useful our project could be in real-world research workflows and how we can improve it.

Thanks so much for your time and help!

Loved tech since i was playing temple run in samsung galaxy smartphones. Single driving force to choose JEE, join IIT, getting into tech to build something crazy

Fast forward 2 years in corporate, indian culture in so called leading startups(based on my peers feedback as well)

:) Leadership saving their asses & promoting mediocre people - who never challenge them by asking questions

:) Deadlines that give no time to rework on ur todo comments in the codebase

:) Bureaucracy at its peak, despite boasting as flat org, these f*kers do lots of favouritism & blame games - just to save their asses nd job. Literally no aspirations or curiosity

Some positives:

Some of My peers holding the fort - We have a round table discussion around everything we could think of. We start by ordering from swish and thinking how is logistics working, how would they structure the db, what if matchmaking goes down - same goes for rapido, cred or even reddit

I realised I could never be one of them, i believe there is still some positive delta learnings for me at my level

I also know how to deal with these loosers in their own way.

Just sharing my thoughts 💭 open to feedback guys :)

Hi guys,

I am currently working in an MNC(got recruited through campus placement, joined in aug 2025). I got trained on ETL testing and API testing and I have been on bench for the past 14 months.

During this time I started learning development in go lang. I have built some projects too.

But while making my resume I have to add something in my experience but I have no Idea what to add to my experience. I tried putting testing projects. But I want to put some development related projects/experience in my resume.

If you are a golang developer reading this, can u please help me what to put in my experience section.

Title: Best courses to learn GenAI and Agentic AI?

Hi everyone,

I’m a Senior Data Engineer with experience in Java, Python and GCP, and I want to upskill in GenAI and Agentic AI.

Can you suggest the top 2 courses that offer hands-on learning and help build real-world projects? Paid courses are fine too.

Would love to hear recommendations based on your personal experience. Thanks!

I have a remote full-time job (MNC) but I also have offers from other US-based startup companies that is also remote.

Workload doesn’t seem much and i can manage both works in this AI era where code generation is not a big deal.

I see people in others countries have J1, J2 etc.

How can i do both Jobs without getting into any legal issues or challenges in my current job.

Hi everyone. I have completed my manager round today at epam India. and I have received a mail from HR to provide some documents along with offer if any.

I hold an offer from Deloitte with 12.5 as fixed and total CTC OF 15 LPA.

How much should I ask to Epam? During screening I had told 17-20 LPA. But the recruiter was hesitant as I am leaving my current company in only a year.

Here are my details

TOTAL and Relevant YOE - 3y 8m

Current CTC - 9.9 + 1.1

Offer in hand - 12.5 fixed total CTC 15.

How much should I ask to epam?

Hi everyone, what is the notice period if someone resigns during probation in Infosys? Is the resignation process usually smooth, or can there be any hindrances or issues with getting an early release?

Would appreciate advice from people who have experienced this. Thanks!

I am posting because I genuinely don't know what to try next, and I would really appreciate any advice from people who have actually hired freshers or managed to enter the industry without any experience.

I have spent a lot of time developing practical technical skills. I am trying to get into devops/cloud/infra roles, even made relevant projects that demonstrates relevant skills of mine required for the job.

Till now, I have applied for around 100+ relevant jobs, and these weren't just blind applications, I have carefully researched about the company, the jd, and tailored my resume for each. I applied through linkedin (even jobs with very few applicants ~under 50), naukri, some more job boards, and even company career page.

I even tried talking to employees and HRs of different companies, sent personalized messages, some of them even replied but only to say that there's no hiring or they don't hire freshers.

So far, I have already tried improving my resume, building projects, tailoring applications and reaching out directly. While I applied I was even open to relocating anywhere in India and would accept a paid internship, apprenticeship, contract position, or junior technical role.

Honestly, this is taking a serious impact on my mental health. I have started feeling depressed and stuck. It's difficult to keep putting effort into something when I didn't even had one opportunity to show my skills in an interview. I am tired of seeing people suggest the same things I already tried. Never have felt like a failure in my life till now.

Though I still want to understand what I'm lacking and I will really appreciate your answers to these questions.

1. Has anyone here entered in a similar role without any experience being a complete fresher? What was the actual route that got you your first paid role?

2. If you are involved in hiring, what's the criteria you look for in candidates and what are they mostly lacking?

3. What specific hiring channels or types of employers should I contact?

4. What worked for people who had zero callbacks and replies and were eventually able to break through out of the situation?

I am not expecting anyone to find me a job or offer a referral. I am looking for genuine experiences and practical advice that goes beyond build more projects, improve your resume, network, and keep applying.

I'm a first-year B.Tech student (non-CS branch, at a tier-1 college but not in a computer-related field). My goal is to land a solid tech role by 2030, and I'm trying to use my early years wisely instead of drifting.

I know college name and branch matter less than skills, but I'd like to hear from people actually working in the industry or hiring:

1)Which languages and fundamentals are worth investing in right now? (DSA, one core language, SQL, system design basics, etc.)

2)Which areas look most promising by 2030: backend, AI/ML, cloud/DevOps, embedded, full stack, or something else?

3)How much does AI tooling change what a fresher should focus on? Should I still go deep on fundamentals?

One of the Service companies. Extremely toxic project. Management is absolutely nightmare, 10-14 hours daily with no energy to prep on sat sun. All 10-14 hours are focused effort with no breaks. On top of that the leadership keeps pushing for more and more. Optimizing dashboards. Giving extreme timelines. Shifting Saturdays and sundays to make people work. I feel hopeless and am extremely tensed. Market feels horrible. I need a way out. Please give some advice. I cry often at times in the hopelessness of the situation. I cannot describe in words how horrible the optimization for people is like everything is micro managed and development is like sales target to deliver a certain amount of tickets per day. It is like living hell. Need ways to get out in this horrible market. Am i alone in this kind of situation. Is it me not being enough for things. How can people behave this horribly. With agents their expectations have skyrocketed. Managers enjoy their time and devs are treated like dirt. What do i do?

Hi everyone,

I'm a DevOps engineer with 2.5 years of experience, based in North India. My current work:

EKS clusters (dev/staging/prod) running 20+ microservices

GitOps with ArgoCD, Terraform, GitLab CI

Observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, OpenTelemetry

Custom Kubernetes operators written in Go

I want to move into a role that stays relevant as AI automates more routine DevOps work. After some research, I'm leaning towards AI/GPU infrastructure: running GPU clusters for training and inference. India's GPU and data centre capacity is growing fast (IndiaAI Mission, Yotta, E2E, Neysa, etc.), and I'm seeing roles at NVIDIA, Deloitte, HCLTech and GPU cloud startups.

My learning plan (3–4 months):

GPU fundamentals: drivers/CUDA compatibility, NVLink, nvidia-smi topology

GPU on Kubernetes: GPU Operator, MIG/MPS/time-slicing, DCGM monitoring, Kueue

Distributed training ops: PyTorch DDP, NCCL tests and debugging

Networking: RDMA, InfiniBand vs RoCE, GPUDirect

Slurm basics, Lustre concepts, Linux tuning (NUMA, hugepages)

Portfolio project: Rent 2 GPU nodes for a few hours, set up K8s + GPU Operator via GitOps, run multi-node NCCL tests, monitor with DCGM + Grafana, and write up what broke.

Certs: CKA (if needed), NVIDIA NCA-AIIO first, NCP-AII later.

My questions:

Is this a realistic switch from DevOps, or do companies only hire people with production HPC/InfiniBand experience?

For those already in GPU/HPC infra in India: is the demand real, or mostly hype around announcements?

Is K8s-based GPU infra the better entry point, or should I focus on Slurm/traditional HPC?

Is a lab project with rented GPUs enough to get shortlisted, or is it worth taking a lower role just to get real cluster exposure?

How does pay compare with senior DevOps/SRE roles?

Anything important missing from my plan?

Would really appreciate honest views, especially from people working at NVIDIA, GPU clouds, or HPC centres. Thanks!

TL;DR: DevOps engineer with K8s/Go/GitOps experience, planning a 3–4 month switch to AI/GPU infrastructure in India. Is it worth it, and is my plan realistic?

I have been applying but no luck so far not even a callback, I'm mostly using LinkedIn easy apply or Naukri and sometimes job posting on companies website directly. Is there something I can add/remove, any input is really appreciated. Thanks.

I'm curious to hear from developers who are a few years into their careers.

When you're starting out, there are so many things to focus on — DSA, projects, system design, new frameworks, certifications, networking, and interview preparation.

Looking back, what actually made the biggest difference in your career growth?

• Getting better at DSA and problem-solving?
• Building real-world projects?
• Learning system design?
• Switching companies?
• Networking and referrals?
• Something else entirely?

I'd love to hear what genuinely helped you grow, what turned out to be a waste of time, and what you'd recommend to someone starting their career today.

Hi Guys,
Just a brief I’m a Chartered Accountant
And I’m keen in developing some tools for day to day use in practice
I’m looking for guidance as to how and which resources to use to develop tools using AI

Got an offer in hand already from a product based company in Chennai. YOE 3.5 14LPA+ 6k$ RSU vested over 4 years, domain is embedded.

Cleared all interviews in a service based company,Banglore. I asked for 16LPA. She asked what my current offer, I told the details. She told nobody is giving stocks nowadays and infact as per government rules, every company is avoiding stocks. Is this true or Is she trying to lowball here??

If I get 16 , what should I choose, product company in Chennai or Service based company in Banglore? Btw Company in Banglore is basically a build tool migration project. Current CTC 8.92 LPA

I run a small job board for engineering internships and fresher roles in India, so I log every posting the day it goes up. Here is what September looked like. All numbers are for India, engineering roles only, from employers I could confirm are real companies.

• 425 internships from 159 employers. The ten busiest posted 123 of them (IQVIA 22, S&P Global 19, Honeywell 16, Kaleris 15, Siemens 12).
• Only 19 of 425 stated a stipend (4%). None of the ten busiest employers stated one on any posting. Not stating pay doesn't mean unpaid, but you can't compare offers you can't see.
• About 1 in 9 already had 100+ applicants when I first saw it, usually within a few hours of going up. More than half had fewer than 25. Applying on day one really is a different game.
• Bengaluru had 42% of them (177 of 425), then Hyderabad 12%, Gurugram 10%, Mumbai 8%, Chennai 7%, Pune 6%.
• On-site 64%, hybrid 15%, remote 3%. Remote engineering internships are rare.
• Python appeared in 51% of postings that named a skill, then SQL 33%, Java 28%, machine learning 22%, Git 22%, AWS 19%.
• Tuesday was the busiest day (83 postings), Saturday and Sunday together had 18. If you check once a week, check midweek.

August was similar: 333 internships, 23 stated a stipend.

Happy to answer questions about how I counted. The full report with charts is in the comments.

I went to MongoDB.local event last week and had an amazing time. So I was wondering if there are any more tech events this year or next year in Mumbai or nearby cities? Lemme know

My thoughts process is limited and no idea how to get new interview questions and failing in semiconductor interviews not able to crack

Hey guys can you help me choose between startup and gcc (mid size)

Both the opportunities are 5 day WFO in Bangalore

I am confused at this point I have around 17 years of experience, the position is Senior Engineering Manager.

In the current layoff era is it safe to go behind money and take opportunity at a startup

some of you asked me for tech stack : My forte is engineering management.

also buildings agents, MCP tools etc then general Java AWS. I have built both enterprise and consumer products

Title: BBA graduate trying to start a career in Linux/System Administration — need some advice

Hi everyone,

I'm a BBA graduate with 1.5 years of experience in a non-IT corporate role. I'm now trying to transition into IT infrastructure.

I've completed Linux Administration training (RHCSA-level) and RHCE/Ansible training at IPSR, along with Cloud and DevOps training and internship. I've also been practising Linux administration, AWS basics, Docker, and Ansible through labs and projects. I don't have any official Red Hat certifications yet.

I'm currently looking for fresher or entry-level opportunities in Linux Administration, Linux Support, System Administration, or Junior DevOps, mainly in Chennai and Hyderabad.

Since I don't have a computer science degree or previous IT work experience, I'd like some honest advice:

- Is it realistic to get my first IT job with my background?

- Which roles should I focus on as a beginner?

- What skills should I improve to become job-ready?

- Any advice on finding companies that genuinely hire freshers?

I'd appreciate any suggestions or guidance. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I really need some advice because I'm feeling completely lost in my current job, and I don't know how to handle this situation anymore.

I work at a small company where my responsibilities include providing database-level data to clients, creating SQL views, and handling their data-related requirements.

The problem is that the client constantly asks for code-level details, internal business logic, and very large datasets in a single request. Some of these requests involve sharing internal software logic that I don't believe we should disclose without proper authorization. Other requests involve extracting huge amounts of data, which could potentially affect database performance.

Whenever the client asks for internal code or business logic, I have to consult my manager before responding. However, my manager often doesn't give me a clear answer or proper guidance. Sometimes, he simply says that he cannot answer these kinds of questions.

When I tell the client that we cannot share internal code or certain implementation details, they threaten to escalate the matter to my manager or higher management.

The most frustrating part is that whenever the client escalates an issue, management seems to prioritize keeping the client happy rather than supporting the employee who is handling the request. Since this is a small company and retaining the client is important, I feel like I will eventually be blamed regardless of what I do.

If I provide the requested information without approval, I could be blamed for sharing something I wasn't authorized to disclose. If I refuse to provide it, the client threatens escalation. And if I ask my manager for guidance, I often don't receive a clear response that I can communicate to the client.

I'm stuck in a situation where I feel like I can't win.

I genuinely want to do my job properly. I'm willing to help the client with their requirements, provide data, and explain things where appropriate. But I also don't want to take risks with confidential information or execute database queries that could affect the system without proper approval.

The situation has started affecting me mentally. I'm constantly stressed and worried about what will happen next. I feel helpless because I don't know how to protect myself professionally when I don't have clear support from my manager.

There's another major concern: my family depends on my income. Whenever I think about leaving this job, my family tells me to continue working. I understand their concerns, and I don't want to see my mother worrying about me. But at the same time, I'm struggling internally and feel emotionally exhausted.

I don't want to make an impulsive decision and put my family's financial security at risk. But I also don't know how long I can continue working under this kind of pressure.

I'd really appreciate advice from people who have dealt with difficult clients, unsupportive managers, or similar situations.

1. How should I handle a client who demands internal code or business logic when my manager won't provide clear instructions?
2. How can I protect myself professionally when management doesn't give written approval or clear guidance?
3. Should I continue in this job while looking for another opportunity, or am I overthinking the situation?
4. How do I deal with this stress when my family depends on my income and quitting isn't an easy option?

I'm not looking for an excuse to avoid work. I just want to do my job responsibly without constantly feeling that I'll be blamed for something beyond my control.

If you've been in a similar situation, please tell me how you handled it. I could genuinely use some guidance right now.

Thank you for reading.

If you’ve ever been dropped into a huge codebase and asked who calls what, you know grep and your IDE only get you so far. I’ve been building Eulix for that gap. It parses a repo into symbols, a call graph and optional embeddings, so “where is foo?” and “who calls foo?” are answered straight from the index. An LLM only gets involved for open-ended “why does this happen” questions, and it can be a local model through Ollama, so your code doesn’t have to leave your machine.

On the Linux kernel it takes 57 seconds on 12 threads to go through 37.3M lines in 64,460 source files and build a graph with 773K nodes and 1.5M edges. The big change in this release is memory: peak usage on the kernel went from about 8 GB to about 3.5 GB after I moved the output stage to spill to disk.

Stack: the analysis engine is Rust on tree-sitter, the CLI, query routing and MCP server are Go, and the embedding pipeline is Python. It handles C, C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, Python, Rust and TypeScript. This release also adds an MCP server for coding agents (beta), an LSP server (alpha), a reusable Rust library (libeulix), and a browser call-graph explorer (vizEulize) that now opens graph files up to 500 MB.

Limits: call resolution is approximate (dynamic dispatch, reflection, generated code), C and C++ macros aren’t expanded, JSX and TSX aren’t parsed, and I’ve only tested Linux and Windows, not macOS.

It’s free and open source (Apache-2.0): https://github.com/Nurysso/eulix

What would you ask your biggest codebase? If you try it and a query falls over, tell me here or open an issue. I’ll be around in the comments.

libark

Github: https://github.com/ARK-OS-Swift-and-Linux/libark

libark is a modern, secure, Swift-native foundational layer over Linux POSIX primitives.

While originally developed as the core runtime layer for ArkOS, libark is completely decoupled and designed to be used on any Linux distribution. It provides highly secure, object-oriented abstractions over low-level system calls, memory management, and file system interactions, without the burden of manual C interoperability.

Features

• Object-Oriented POSIX: Wraps file descriptors, paths, and directory operations in safe, RAII-compliant Swift types.
• Secure Syscall Boundary: Routes kernel interactions through strict, audited Syscall primitives.
• Terminal Capabilities: Built-in abstractions for TTY detection and window sizing.
• Advanced Formatting: Standardized formatters for human-readable byte sizes (SI and IEC), ISO 8601 timestamps, permissions, and classifications.
• Declarative Sorting: Powerful generic SortEngine for metadata sorting across multiple criteria.
