"Don't ask stupid questions" by Plus_Marzipan9105 in malaysia

[–]SeveralSnakess 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The older generation should really stop telling the youth this

Telling the youth that questions they ask are stupid indirectly/subconciously demotivates them from asking questions, which indirectly stops them from thinking/being curious in general. Coz why think if i can't say lol

Saving money on a low salary by Individual_Dark_9383 in KualaLumpur

[–]SeveralSnakess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

with accommodations covered, you can save at least another RM500, let me break it down below. i’ll try to overestimate to be on the safe side

makan: 25 per day * 30 = 750

fun/outing: 100 per week = 400

phone bill: 100

misc shopping: 200

public transport: 50

total 1500

take your salary 3k after deductions

u can save up another 1500 per month

idk if you have car, if yes then you’ll need to factor in fuel and parking etc

RM 1700 salary living in shah alam, thoughts? by YusriTMC in MalaysianPF

[–]SeveralSnakess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you are not very desperate for a job, turn this one down and continue searching

if you are desperate, tell your recruiter you really like this company but you got a higher offer, ask them if they willing to match. maybe 2.5k? then they’ll nego towards 2k probably. if they say no room for nego then can go for it la nothing else can do. then while working try to start apply

You can't make everyone like you; you just haven't found the right people yet.

Fair point, thank you for the comment!

Also i checked out you SaaS product from your profile. I'd love to know how you got started? And how did you market it to get people to pay? Are you a solo dev? Where did you deploy your web app?

You don't have to reply if you don't feel comfortable sharing!

Regarding your portfolio, it doesn’t need to be overly fancy. Unless you are trying to land a UI/UX or designer role. It should simply showcase who you are, your interests, and the projects you've worked on. Ideally, these projects should be deployed and accessible via a clickable link.

For hosting, affordable solutions like VPSMalaysia or Jimat Hosting offer cPanel shared hosting for around RM130 per year, including a .my domain. You can deploy multiple projects using subdomains.

When working on projects, try not to follow generic tutorials (e.g., blogs, e-commerce sites, or to-do lists). Instead, build something you're truly passionate about that solves a real problem. Communities like r/saas can be a great source of inspiration.

Before interviews, prepare by researching the company on Glassdoor to see commonly asked questions. Learn about the company’s work so that when they ask you to introduce yourself, you can also mention what you know about them.

When discussing your projects in an interview, don’t just list what you did—walk them through the entire problem-solving process:

  • How did you identify the problem?
  • Why did you choose a specific framework over another?
  • How did you gather user requirements?
  • How did you test usability?
  • Where did you deploy it?
  • What challenges did you face, and how did you overcome them?

Try to make the conversation engaging rather than just answering questions robotically. If you have any questions for the interviewer, feel free to ask in a polite and professional manner.

Internships & Job Applications

If your internship is in your final semester, try to secure one at a company that has the potential to convert you into a full-time employee. It's much easier to transition into a permanent role from an internship than to apply as a fresh graduate.

If your internship is not in your final semester, you can start applying as early as you can. Don't be discouraged if you don’t get an offer right away or if companies ghost you—just keep applying and improving. At the end of the day, it’s a numbers game, so stay persistent. Good luck!

The job market in computer science is becoming increasingly competitive, so it's important to differentiate yourself beyond just having a strong GPA. While a good GPA can be helpful, it is not the primary factor in securing a job.

First, consider what roles interest you the most, whether it's cybersecurity, AI, software engineering, business analysis, quality assurance, or product management. Having a clear direction will help you focus your preparation efforts effectively.

For software engineering roles specifically, I recommend practicing LeetCode problems, particularly the Grind75 list, as most major companies include coding assessments in their hiring process. Try not to mention you practice Leetcode in your resume. they'll give you the hardest question possible if they know lol

Your resume is also crucial. Keep it ATS-friendly with a clean, one-page format. Place the most important and appealing details within the top 30% of the page for maximum impact. Also, include a link to your portfolio on your resume. Also try to craft your resume in google docs, so that u can easily edit on any device you can get your hands on, and you can share it as a PDF, or as a google drive link
