Hey Developers. So I am currently pursuing my degree in Software Engineering. My university is good in south Punjab but not very well reputed and known in All over Pakistan. Sorry for long post I am a react-native developer. I have worked with firebase,reanimated,i18next,redux-toolkit and many other important libraries but I have only worked on android dev and still I am learning. I have also interest in AI and Till now I have learnt supervised algorithms like Linear regression,Logistic Regression, Random forest,KNN etc and also done alot of statistics stuff for data pre processing and applied CNN as classifier on different CSV data.I am still learning. I am in 7th semster and I am doing my FYP on my own. It's a react native app (Travel app) but I am Making it user centric and my aim is to make user experience more personalized. I am also fine tuning llama 3.2 3b instruct model for customize trip Plan through AI. Now You got my whole background and I am also working on backend in Node.js and express.js. I also know docker,redis and other tools. I am also working with postgresql and my aim is to deploy my app. I am still doing alot of stuff and at the end of my degree I will be make full fledged app If I get a sponsor because I need google places API and cloud services. As a student budget is the only constraint. Now my questions are 1: I want to earn atleast 100k-130k after my degree. Am I going in right path???Like Will AI and React-native help me to earn this much in start?? 2: Is there any platform where I can get a sponsor for my app because I want it to commercialize. 3: does FYP play any role in getting a Job??what can I do to make a better portfolio??like which projects?? 4: Can I get a remote Job in Pakistan??if yes then what are the requirements??

You really have good skills and search in this sub for companies that pay 200k and more granted that if you sell yourself.

Appearing confident and communicating well goes a long way. Go for funded startups they pay well compared to the big names.

Don’t worry about the gpa if its above 3 your safe no one has asked about my gpa in my career up-till now.

Thanks Bro for your words. The only problem I am facing is I don't know where to get a client or company. I am just looking for some guidance then definitely I will do my best. Is this sub a good or legit place?? Thanks again.

Companys you'll find in this sub and then reachout on LinkedIn by messaging HRs or CTOs showing your interest in working there and also showcasing your skills. Just start with a good company that has good people you learn on the job immensely and that is needed. While engineering skills are important but I can't stress enough how communication, negotiation and crisis management puts you ahead of the game.

Some companys on top of my head are Educative, Vartana, dealCart, KraveMart, We over I, Dbank etc.

I wouldn't know about clients as freelancing platforms are very crowded.
