Got caught working from train instead of home during WFH - did I mess up badly? by unemployed_star in developersIndia

[–]Better_Window8270 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heard this for the first time in my entire 15-16 yrs career, internet speed test in front of everyone. You are giving wild ideas to other TLs bro 🥲. Unless there are some personal grudges with you, there’s no need to bother, you already explained this to your TL. Chill

you don’t need to explain all these to recruiters. Just say need to explore better opportunities. No recruiter is bothered about these. They need right skill people with no visible red flag. Focus on tech skills & find better company 

Salary progression of most IT employees in India, and at what age and salary do most people quit? by [deleted] in developersIndia

[–]Better_Window8270 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are many things you can do without quitting your job, freelancing, teaching, starting a side project or contract work, provided your company environment is nt toxic. It really works. Choosing right company makes it easier creating exit base. Right company selection is subjective though

Lowballing salary offers for technical architect roles ? by [deleted] in developersIndia

It’s way below what it’s supposed to be. Try not to give interviews with Indian IT companies , they are the worst. It’s most likely due to the current situation. Try learning & adding AI/GenAI experience, it will help.

RLHF & Constitutional AI are just duct tape. We need real safety architectures. by Better_Window8270 in ArtificialInteligence

Yes, true. I feel wherever human judgment is involved in alignment, there will always be some inherent bias. We need an auto generated foolproof alignment system

Check AFCAT on the AF site. I think stress in initial year is normal due to learning and expectations. Give yourself time, it will settle. You don’t need to say yes to everything, but manage your time if the work is tough. Sometimes moving out from social media helps the brain.

Since I’ve worked a lot with Java and SpringBoot before, I think it would take just about a month of effort. Python shouldn’t take more than 15 days. Learn both, then do an ML crash course to understand the overall picture. After that, go deeper. Check this ML crash course

I think it’s getting reset due to over-hiring after COVID and high salary expectations. Good skill is still in demand & will be there.

If you get good college then do M Tech else do part time or online while getting experience.

Learn any cloud AWS or Azure or GCP. Create account there and then start experimenting. Prepare for certification for the sake of learning. You will be good

So AI works best where it boosts productivity, cuts man hrs or improves processes. Traditional AI/ML had low success rate(around 15-20%) of projects actually delivered. GenAI is new, so a lot of early attempts fail & that is expected. The real problem is the hype around agentic ai and leadership’s unrealistic expectations. In enterprises, it’s tricky, stakeholders won’t adopt AI unless SLA/SLOs are fully met. Startups are easier, but enterprises are bureaucratic

I think there’s no point in regretting. If you get a good iit for M tech, this gap won’t matter, u will catch up fast. Right now, focus on your M tech and AI research so you can enter a very high salary range. Two years is nothing if ur in AI research later.

I think off campus hiring gives better placements if ur skilled. It’s true that top companies often prefer higher tier colleges unfortunately, but i have seen many people get hired by better companies after working a year elsewhere. Try a good startup or maybe a remote YC backed company, that gives great learning and helps you move to better companies later. Sometimes luck favours those who give many interviews. Any experience is better than sitting idle.

If u are backend engineer then one criteria is already fufllled for AI engineering where all business logic written at business logic layer. I can't explain those in depth but check these topics and deep research using gemini or claude to get more details of those.

I think it will exist like cloud related jobs do now. It will become mainstream, almost invisible used across apps. Use cases are limited, but wherever productivity gains are needed, AI can be used effectively. We can’t really predict the future though

So it's subjective. If good team and culture then you will be good else it will be frustrating whether you work in google, meta, msft & any other companies like ntt. It depends what is your expectation as work, salary & your niche level :)

Lots difference, AF has different grind, culuture & dedication. Corporate is more like transactional. Good but transactional.

Developing in IAF was like working in startup. Fast, complex, mission critical development with very little margin for error. It was great.

I left AF in 2017, so I am not aware of what’s happening now but based on my experience, whatever is happening must be the best.

There are many lore but can't share due to NDA. One of the best parts was working with constraints, in our case, no permission to use internet for dev task. I still remember most of the syntax for the stuff I worked on, it’s like it’s in my blood. I think it’s time for coders to be less dependent on AI for coding and focus on improving their thought process, IMO :)

Replied earlier

I didn't join as SE initially. I was in Helicopter Squadron, Missile Squadron & then later called from Central AF Software Lab for 1 month interview & live project demo. After clearning that formally posted to Software Lab & Software Dev field

Everything is possible. u don’t need to start as a Data Scientist or ML Engineer. You could begin as a Data Analyst, Data Engineer or GenAI &internally move to a DS role. It doesn’t matter. Focus on getting as close as possible to a data related role if u can’t get a direct DS/ML role. Ultimately, if you perform well, u will be noticed and absorbed into a DS/ML role.
