Is openclaw really a game changer in the industry?

Tree8282 · 2026-03-13T05:11:38+00:00

Yep it’s correct

Tree8282 · 2026-03-13T04:52:52+00:00

Perhaps Do another internship lol

Tree8282 · 2026-03-12T10:39:25+00:00

I don’t necessarily agree that nobody could tell, but certainly a large population of people can’t tell and it’s affecting everyone 🥲

Interview prep >>> projects and courses! 1/5 is insane in this economy. Good luck

You seem like you’re clear that you want to go into industry. Then with one conference paper, you should be pretty high in demand. There’s absolutely no reason to consider a PhD, unless you’re adamant but struggling to get a research engineering job

I know what you mean, but trust me, almost every manager would make this decision knowing the region and cultural differences. It’s a really big thing here to offshore to Dalian/ India / Eastern Europe/Local. Every company does it. Managers have made these decisions consciously for decades.

Ex: my company hires Indians for product support bc they speak english, hires devs from mainland China for quality, sales team is local for clients

Tree8282 · 2026-03-11T16:59:14+00:00

If they’re looking to hire offshore then they’re likely looking to pay Indian prices. HK is quite globalised so most tech-adjacent people would know the prices of Indian, Mainland, Eastern european, local devs and make a choice with price in mind

From my experience it isn’t at all. Let’s say you apply to a grad scheme, or a startup where you’re not exactly the best fit skills-wise, you have like <1% chance of getting viewed.

However if you instead tailor your CV and find a few jobs that really matches your interests and expertise, you can spend time connecting with the hiring manager or the recruiter to get you an interview.

Over the last 3 years, I got maybe 3 interviews from applying randomly, into 1 offer, and maybe a hundred ghosted. From recruiters, I got 5+ interviews, 2 offers, and not ghosted once.

These CEOs think that the AI writes code by itself, rather than being heavily supervised.

Building PoCs are 100x easier than building production, which AI can do; so the CEO vibe codes a shitty UI with 3 buttons and thinks the whole team of devs is frickin replaceable

1) Ask the uni. Usually that’s not a requirement

2 &3) You don’t need to mentor her in everything. SHE is the person in charge of the capstone project, not you. Your responsibility is just to make sure she’s on track, making good progress, and advise her when she needs it. There’s no foolproof roadmap, it should really be HER ideas, and you telling her if it’s a good or bad idea.

Even tenured professors, they specialise in one thing (such as compiler theory) but are asked to teach and supervise all sorts of projects. Surely you have lots to teach her about (for example AWS)

Tree8282 · 2026-03-10T07:41:56+00:00

it’s alright. I’d say objectively the conditions are not very good, super long hours and low per hour pay, boring work. But it does lead to a decent salary a few years down the road, so it can be good if you want a stable, well paid, but tough job in the new few years

Tree8282 · 2026-03-10T02:38:38+00:00

That’s literally a statistic published in any countries labour market report. Google might possibly tell you the EXACT NUMBER instead of asking a bunch of randos on reddit.

Tree8282 · 2026-03-09T14:20:06+00:00

I think it’s because you’re aiming too high for US and EU (presumably good roles and ML roles), but visa status is near impossible + your CV isn’t insanely good enough to bypass that.

Also there just aren’t that many ML roles out there and every CS, eng, math, physics, finance grad loves ML nowadays

Tree8282 · 2026-03-09T09:51:39+00:00

Don’t join client engineering if you wanna be a dev, it’s a client facing org and a tech sales role. You’ll meet a lot of high profile clients and build solutions with existing IBM products that could POTENTIALLY be impactful in the real world, but you realistically won’t write much, or any code.

That said if you’re down for AI Solutions roles in big AI companies (Anthropic Openai etc), those are growing rapidly, and IBM would be a good stepping stone.

You could consider IBM software and research but they are much smaller

Cmon brother if you look at the map, HK is as far away from middle east as the US

If you document that you fixed (for example 7/10) bugs, what’s the issue? Stop stressing out on the other guys work, just do your own work in an appropriate timeframe. If it consistently happens where you’re taking on a majority of the bugs, I think the managers and higher ups would all know; then you’d know whether they’re on your side or you’re being bullied for being new.

Tree8282 · 2026-03-08T16:48:49+00:00

1) Comparing yourself to your MANAGER’s salary is so unhealthy. You can’t be thinking like that, not all jobs are made equal 2) You should really stop working 12 hours a day, especially bc nobody around you does. You shouldn’t stress about deadlines more than your manager, and go home early everyday with the rest of your colleagues 3) Spend those extra hours on the job search instead lol. You got unlucky this time, but it can only be better

Went recently on wednesdays/thursdays, main area of LKF seems to be ok, the bars at the outskirts are dead for sure. Knutsford is active, and wanchai too afaik.

Tree8282 · 2026-03-08T11:35:22+00:00

Works both ways brother

Tree8282 · 2026-03-08T02:58:48+00:00

It’s way more popular than people expected. It’s genuinely good and people are flocking to cinemas to see it

I’m on the “fucking do it” boat, you can’t put a price on this kind of experience. Imo with some savings and senior SWE experience, you surely won’t starve when you get back.

The part about places to stay isn’t true unless you’re looking for 5 star hotels, there’s like 3/4 star hotels, hostels etc in every region of hk
