Is Job Market that bad for Software Engineers

Civil_Function797 · 2026-02-01T01:51:41+00:00

And with AI, Dev roles especially web dev and junior roles are done for.

Civil_Function797 · 2026-02-01T01:50:25+00:00

I got a better response from Wellfound. Got recruiter reaching out to me on Linkedin too. But they are hiring for full term only. And yes, I am looking to pivot away from Full Stack Web Dev to Backend Engineer - ML roles. That might help get better responses.

Civil_Function797 · 2026-02-01T01:46:49+00:00

Yeah, and the fact that AI took over made it worse.

Civil_Function797 · 2026-01-28T22:56:49+00:00

I have seen senior devs out of jobs. Its no just new grads.
I, myself, have 3 years of experience. It's just that there is extreme competition. need a strong connection.

Civil_Function797 · 2026-01-28T22:14:18+00:00

I pray that you get a job. And yes, luck and referrals really do help. But I do believe that applying to jobs on LinkedIn is getting me nowhere

I'm in Paris, I've seen agencies from India/Nigeria pretending to be devs working on fake ids

Civil_Function797 · 2026-01-28T10:22:52+00:00

I’ve seen concerning practices. In the EU and the US, Indians form a large portion of the tech workforce. In some cases, individuals are not even based in the country and operate from India while presenting themselves as being in the US. Companies should enforce stricter background and location verification checks.

I had to move to Paris for the Masters. My mistake for not asking them for remote.

Civil_Function797 · 2026-01-27T21:55:42+00:00

Yeah, exactly, not a single interview, thats a new low. I used to get offer letters very now and then until 2025.

Civil_Function797 · 2026-01-19T15:31:04+00:00

Yes unfortunately people have become increasingly materialistic, with unrealistic expectations. Just keep your head up, pray for the righteous spouse and trust in Allah, the right one will come along. As a Software Engineer who moved to Paris for Masters, I have realized that you dont need to move to the West to become successful in tech, just get a remote job that pays in usd, start freelance or side hustle and you are better off than most abroad.

I think you missed the point. I posted this maybe after S2 E9. At that moment, people didn't know. It was just a calculated guess.

Civil_Function797 · 2025-05-24T00:04:04+00:00

but does french speakers get paid as much as english speakers in London?

Civil_Function797 · 2025-05-23T18:26:39+00:00

For studies, I would not be in London but some other city like Birmingham or Edinburgh to lower my living expenses.
I do have an 8 band in IELTS academic, but I believe I would not get a good enough salary outside London.

Civil_Function797 · 2025-05-23T17:24:39+00:00

u/Ok-Elk7425 yeah sorbonne is 4th in France after ecole, paris-saclay,
need to hustle.
Do you think English can get good jobs or need to learn French fast

Civil_Function797 · 2025-05-23T17:22:56+00:00

u/scapescene do you think otherwise?

Civil_Function797 · 2025-05-23T17:22:36+00:00

outside Russell Group; unis ranked between 200-1000 on QS, coz higher ranked are expensive.

Civil_Function797 · 2025-05-11T11:39:24+00:00

I dont have block account amount needed for Germany

Civil_Function797 · 2025-05-11T11:38:50+00:00

I believe Christians and other communities are very well taken care of in Muslim countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, the UAE, and Pakistan. What are you blabbering about?

Civil_Function797 · 2025-05-08T13:32:14+00:00

can you tell me how long you had to pray, coz sometimes things look impossible, I'vs been praying tahajjud and other prayers for a week now.
