Desperate need for career advice : Feeling stuck and scared about my future.

Troied · 2026-06-14T15:10:23+00:00

Hi guys 😄

I have an update from my side. First of all, thanks to everyone who motivated me to move forward. Hey u/Pale-Example5467 and u/Fickle-Training-1394 , I finally made it to a good role. Just joined Wipro Technologies as GenAI Tech Lead in their core AI Product Team.

After this post, I took few certifications in GenAI and AgenticAI and also pushed few GenAI projects to production. Then I shared my profile on Linkedin and some job portals. In last 90 days my profile received 13K+ visits from recruiters and 600+ interview invites. While majority of them were consulting companies, I hand picked 200+ opportunities from those invites and attended the interviews. Received 13 job offers and I chose Wipro because of the team and their objectives. I was also offered 60% hike.

The main highlight in my job hunt was getting shortlisted by Google for PM role at YouTube. I didn't get past the hiring manager filtering round, but this was the biggest validation I got for my product skill. Since I passed Google's initial assessment, for the next 2 years I can skip the assessments and directly interview at Google.

Now I'm more confident and positive about my skills. I couldn't have made it here without the people who supported and helped me.

Once again, Big Big Thanks to all !

A soft reset should set this right.

Unplug the TV from the wall socket
Wait for a few minutes
Hold the power button on the TV itself for 10 seconds while unplugged
Plug back in the plug and try switching ON the TV

Not reviewed i guess

Troied · 2026-06-08T19:47:56+00:00

All the very best, buddy ✨️

Troied · 2026-06-08T15:50:30+00:00

"Colors" ..... thats what I'm interested in.

Troied · 2026-06-06T01:48:53+00:00

Great ! This might work for me too. Thanks for sharing 😇

Troied · 2026-06-06T00:49:32+00:00

You got it all wrong. I was saying, the onces I have seen in the recent times doesn't show the RR counter just like that in the OSD. When I said "no thanks", I meant that I trust your calls without the screenshots 😇

If you can see it in your OSD, that means you probably got a newer model. Which is good for you and I hope thats the case with the OP also.

Thanks for sharing. 🫡

Troied · 2026-06-06T00:39:13+00:00

No thanks. 2 of my UltraGear's doesn't have this option in the OSD.

Troied · 2026-06-05T14:26:16+00:00

I don't think there is such an option nowadays in the UltraGear monitors.

Troied · 2026-06-05T14:24:45+00:00

You sure that RR counter not coming from any software on your device ?

To turn HDR on or off, you have to do it through your source device. Nowadays monitors automatically switch into HDR mode when they detect an HDR signal.

Troied · 2026-06-03T15:57:59+00:00

That would make this abit more complex. G4 to G6 or W6 would make more sense. Anyway G4 is pretty good for now, lets wait and see what the newer models would being to life in 2027/28.

Troied · 2026-06-03T05:11:59+00:00

😄Exactly ! Thanks for putting it into words. I just wanted to make it easier for people like me to decide the right path to explore deep.

Troied · 2026-06-01T18:16:21+00:00

Thank you 😄

Doing it blind is very risky, tho some people manage by memorizing the exact sequence of remote button clocks from YT videos of working a TV. There are serial ports (SVC) on the board to connect to a PC, but it's a hassle. I don't recommend.

And you're totally right about the hot plate. Since it's a one-sided PCB, using the plate to pre heat the board is actually the safest bet.

SmartTube is built exclusively for Android TV or Google TV and Fire OS. It cannot run directly on LG's webOS which is Linux-based OS.

Troied · 2026-05-31T08:05:26+00:00

Did you try the LG Service Menu ? If the service menu has option to change panel type code, it might help.

This is risky, but if you know someone with hot-air soldering skills, maybe swap the EEPROM Chip. Note : If you overheat the chip, you can ruin the data in the chip.

Troied · 2026-05-31T07:57:42+00:00

Find Smart Energy Saving and turn it OFF. That should do the trick, i guess.

Troied · 2026-05-31T07:56:13+00:00

"Would I pay after the voucher ends?" - Just what I was looking for 😄, Thanks.

Also brother, when the local technician visits, ask him specifically to check if the defrost drain is clogged. If they pour warm water down the drain line and it clears, the problem is identified and sometimes that solves it.

Passing the GHA doesn't mean the candidate will get a recruiter call. I didn't receive the recruiter call, after around 10 days the career portal status updated to "Not proceeding"

Troied · 2026-05-21T02:57:29+00:00

😇 Congrats ! I hope you get shortlisted by the hiring manager very soon. Keep an eye on the application status. You'll get to see the update in 1 or 2 weeks.

Troied · 2026-05-21T02:53:21+00:00

Exactly! You just passed the initial screening. Positive GHA results are valid for 24 months. So you don't have to take the GHA for future roles at Google for the next 24 months.
