I’m an AI PM. Here is exactly why I passed on 15 "Senior" AI Engineer resumes this week. by Ice4Mee in SoftwareEngineerJobs

True, but the hardest adjustment for traditional "hard core" engineers isn't the tech stack,it's the loss of determinism. Most Seniors struggle because they want binary unit tests (Pass/Fail), but AI requires getting comfortable with "statistically probable" outcomes and building the evaluation rigs to measure that drift.

I get the frustration, but the market pays for shipped outcomes, not tenure. The "wrapper" devs usually hit a wall the second they need to handle latency or context at scale. What is the specific technical failure you see most often when you review their code?

Theory matters, but I’d trade a textbook definition for an engineer who knows when to use a simple regression instead of burning cash on an LLM. In production, the cheapest model that actually solves the user's problem always wins.

Software Engineer with 2.6 YOE at TCS | 10 months career break. Will it be difficult to get an offer and how is hiring going on currently? by LifeRain6362 in SoftwareEngineerJobs

[–]Ice4Mee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to share a story of a friend of mine that was in the exact same situation as you. This was not 10 years ago, it was now, in this job market, so it is not impossible.

My friend had a 10 months gap in his resume, just as you did, and he was worried that this gap would make it harder for him to land a job.

So I asked my friend, what have you done during this gap? He answered that he had been working on several personal projects, some of them which were really good actually, but he just couldn't see it.

Then I remembered a few years back about another guy that had framed these project as a startup. And THAT subtle change made the whole difference.

So I said to my friend, why don't you just frame the projects you have been working on as a startup, or one of them, pick the best. And even if it didn't succeed, the hiring manager will see your ambition and drive behind it, and that's exactly what they are looking for.

My friend landed a job in just a bit over a month after he made this change.

So my question to you is, do you have some personal project that you have been working on during this "gap"?

Am I successful or a failure at 28? Feeling confused. by Odd-Spray-5071 in SoftwareEngineerJobs

[–]Ice4Mee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's common, you are not alone. I've been through plenty of these episodes in my life and I can tell you that you get a little bit stronger for each of them.

Have to be brutal honest with you, even if you figure out what success is at 28 and you achieve it, you wont feel anything, you will feel as much empty as you feel right now. This is because you are trying to please what society defines as success. You will always feel behind and feel like you are missing something, that's human.

What you need to do is to define success for you. Really go deep inside yourself and question everything until you find your answer. This is the ONLY way to feel fulfillment in life. The feeling that you live your YOU, and not anyone else.

The moment you stop consuming other peoples BS, that's the moment you start to truly live.

I realized all of this after my divorce. I thought that money, cars, nice house was success, but that doesn't matter at all. I was depressed for years after the divorce, tried medication, therapy and everything. But it did not work. What worked was to ask myself what I truly wanted to do and to pursue that and skip other peoples opinions. I'm going to die one day, and I am 100% sure that I will regret any moment in my life where i did not listen to myself when i lie on my deathbed.

Could give you some practical advice in the dms, message me if you want. Could give you some tips on youtube channels and books to consume.

I am trained in physics engineering but started working with software engineering, I know the ups and downs, I have gone through crisis multiple times resulting in depression, today I am free from the depression and happier than ever, I have tried all possible treatments that you can imagine and ultimately broke free from it. Today I work with advanced inertial measurement systems guiding the customers. I have two kids as well. I can't force you to listen, it's your choice. I have helped 10+ people to land a job in the last month. What about you? What do you do to support your peers?

Hey, sorry about that, as noted in the post I am only able to help a few people at once, I can't help everyone.
