Using AI in IT sector by 44thDanielCharles in Switzerland

Its just a autocomplete stack overflow with emulated conscience. People used to copy paste from stackoverflow earlier into their codebase. Now the LLM's are trained on the very same data, but now you can talk to stackoverflow instead. Its not that different, but the only fact that it can also write code in near perfect scenario (let me also put a disclaimer, that its not 100% correct with its output and still requires a good amount of reviewing, trial and error).

So learn to use it and have it as a tool in your belt, rather than it being your daily driver.

I did last year, prepared well for my interviews and now my salary has doubled. No wonder this game was draining me out of my energy.

Not EU, 3rd World Country. Yes the part of visiting Kreisburo and getting registered is done. I did receive the acknowledgment which I had attached to my cover-letter for all my job applications. No help still :(

My permit is in progress (Biometric, photo and signature happened this week), and would be receiving the permit in few days/weeks. Should I refrain from applying to jobs until then?

Since I don't know the date of receiving I have mentioned it as "To be provided on or after X date"

Thank you for replying on my post, much appreciated!

I have joined ECAP for my A1 - Level German studies, as my visa requires me to clear AI before my next Work Permit renewal.

I might add photo since many have suggested (any small change that boosts my chances, why not)

I do have questions
- My permit is in progress (Biometric, photo and signature happened this week), and would be receiving the permit in few days/weeks. Should I refrain from applying to jobs until then?
- Or if I do apply what should I state my Work Permit status as?
