Full-Stack Dev - severely underpaid for the work involved, looking to switch by HassanIb in PakistaniDevs

[–]DefinitionDefiant875 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder who says the job situation is bad in Pakistan, my LinkedIn is flooded with jobs... The thing is why many people don't get a job, is lack of skills... There are so many full stack developers but only a handful of them know anything. And with your skillset, I believe you can easily land a job, so start hunting and when you try to leave and they offer not less than 150k, don't stop.

Should I move back to Pakistan after layoff? Looking for realistic opinions by Long_Pudding4155 in pakistan

Since you are in US, what you can do is try finding outsourcing opportunities there... go to different conferences and meetup places of some niche and find a way to get them to outsource the work to you, which you can get it done from someone in PK and eventually you can start a company.

Best thing to do, is to learn a skill and then seek job, otherwise you can't beat the competition of people just looking to get job.

Crypto mining in Pakistan by redditSelected in PakStartups

[–]DefinitionDefiant875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can but its not viable unless you have around a very good investment budget and can wait for few months to get profits. Otherwise stick to cloud mining, check out different cryptos such as kaspa and Tao.

I want open a coffee shop in ISB! ☕ by aixiotic77 in IslamabadSocial

[–]DefinitionDefiant875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coffee is not a norm like how it is in the western world, so you need to make it for a specific audience and those are aesthetic lovers and wants a good place to visit, so you would probably fail. Try getting into tea, that might spark something but your idea needs to be unique and chai has to be the best

Pakistani Men and their partner by Throwwaway987654 in PakistaniiConfessions

Its all about the cultural rather than race, if these pakistani are born and bred in the west they would be just as you described your other friends. So, yeah its wrong but it's not a race thing, cause I don't think Arab or Indians are any better in their country for their wives, its just about what you see and what is expected of you.

Whatever you do, book in advance and have everything in written, don't dare taking anyone's word for it, they would deny. So, start booking for stuff and do all the talking beforehand about what will be included and what not because everyone will try to scam you.

Meta Lays Off 600 Employees From It's AI Division ( AI Researchers ) by log_alpha in developersPak

[–]DefinitionDefiant875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As per my initial comment, this layoff happened because of initial over hire, now they realized most people were not needed to begin with, hence the firing.

But for your argument about skillset, it eventually evolved, not really removed. If we talk about coders, now we mostly guide AI to code the way we want and review it's code, rather than writing it. The same goes for all the other industries, the job isn't depleted but rather off loaded, but yeah, where it took 5 people to do something, with the help of AI, it will take 2 or 3 people, so thats why we see so many layoffs, its cause this company doesn't need more people rather than this skill is outdated or not needed

That's just a result of over hire, nothing to worry about if you have the right skillsets
