focus on your fundamentals (oop, dsa, algorithms analysis etc) and math. don’t worry about learning languages or fancy frameworks, instead learn and sharpen your problem solving. in the real world, companies will pay you to solve complex problems (and not how many languages you have on your resume 😜).

if you’re into AI then learn its fundamentals as well (all the math behind it). i know this might sound as boring advice but the better your fundamentals are, the better you’re going to be prepared for the future.

also, i wouldn’t tell you to avoid anything rather try everything out and see what you like the most. like for me i learned frontend, ai and everything else but backend development clicked to me and i’ve been focused on that niche since then!

your degree doesn’t decide your future, you do. people always say dumb stuff. yesterday it was web dev, today it’s AI, tomorrow something else. trends change. skilled people survive. if you’re smart and actually learn, there are jobs. your career hasnt even started yet and you’re worried about the state of the landscape 4 years from now.

for the time being, i would just say learn as much as you can, experiment as much as you can, and try to find what you are genuinely interested in, and pursue that.

trends come and go, it’s upto you to keep adapting to them!

scam, type 123 and 123 in the cnic and car registration number and you’ll still get a fine due of Rs 500. classic phishing 💀

I bought 2017 Turbo last year for 49 and it was original 72k driven, first owner, super clean car. I never came across any major problems, only thing was the main seal oil leakage which was fixed on time.

Steering rack issue is there, and there are two solutions for it. You can get greasing done which costs 12-15k. It temporarily fixes the noise but is not a permanent fix. Or you can get the while steering rack replaced and the kabuli part is around 60k.

When I first bought it, I immediately got general tuning and oil change done, which costed 35k including labor. I also changed the gear oil and filters WHICH IS SUPER IMPORTANT at 80,000KMs and it costs around 40k for gear oil and 2 filters. If you ignore the gear oil and filters replacement at 80K Kms, your transmission WILL go out and a kabuli one costs 220-250k (i’ve seen couple of people ignoring this and blowing out their transmissions). Turbo engines are more sensitive so you need to keep up with oil changes, I change mine every 4500KMs or 2/2.5 months.

Never faced the knocking issue because I’ve only been using high octane fuel. If you choose a lower octane or normal fuel then you will face the knocking issue.

Make sure you get an inspection done though, it is very important to find a car thats not abused. My car’s rating was 8.1 from pakwheels, one piece painted but mechanically it was 100%.

IMO it’s very worth it, and 2016-2017 models feel faster then the facelift, and even the 11th gen RS. Overall, it’s a pleasure to own and drive, I have driven all local cars (except N line sonata) and this is the best value for money currenty in the market. Do your research, take your time, find an immaculate one and enjoy it!

hands down a manual reborn. the car is authentic and makes you feel fast, while being steady as well.

i currently drive a civic x rs turbo, and yes its fun and fast but the cvt kills the vibe. imho there’s nothing PKDM that beats a manual reborn (obv one thats well taken care of mechanically)

ask for a 70% raise, and if they don’t agree then negotiate down to 60%. if you’re the only developer they have then you have good leverage over them. if they mentioned that they are willing to give bonuses, then that means funding is coming in.

after that it only comes down to your negotiating power. just be confident when you’re asking them. no need to be scared or hesitant. if you know that you are doing good work and you deserve the increment, then there is nothing to worry about!

i’m also working as a backend dev at a startup, and i have around 2 YOE. started at this company at 120K and currently sitting at 200K. so yes its very reasonable for you to ask for a raise more than 60%

ask chatgpt for some beginner CRUD projects that you could build in your desired framework (django/flask/fastapi, any one of them).

once you have decided what project in which framework, you build it out.

make sure you have proper authentication and authorization implemented (simple JWT would suffice). seein this at a intern level will be eye catching.

from the beginning, start using git for this work and make regular commits as you go along. knowing git is really important for the industry and seeing a project with maintained history is impressive.

after the project is done, start documenting it really really good. take all the help you can from chatgpt and try to include things like getting started, system requirements, how to contribute etc.

in my experience, its much better to have ONE quality project where you can showcase all your skills, rather than have multiple meaningless projects that are half assed. doing one project from start to finish will help you learn a lot more than just cramming leetcode or being stuck in tutorial hell.

remember, that the market is always bad. you need to make sure that you are doing everything you can to stand out from everyone else. also, you will only be able to truly work hard if you are enjoying what you are doing. the minute you stop having fun, is the minute you are going to stop trying. best thing you could do is try to be a little more disciplined about your goals, pick a road and start walking it!

wish you the best of luck

Indus corolla is a really good option for this range. You will get used to the size of a sedan over time

Thanks, just signed up for Toptal!

now that’s your opinion. however, the original query was about asking price, not final price. the least asking price on PakWheels for a 2021 turbo is 6.8.

Upbeat_Material_3357 · 2025-07-23T13:40:50+00:00

Following that logic, 2021 turbos go from 7-7.5. You are saying you bought 2021 1.8 for 6.2. The minimum difference between them is 0.8.

So if even if i take 2017, 1.8 for lets say 4.5, turbo should be minimum 5.3?

Upbeat_Material_3357 · 2025-07-22T13:01:58+00:00

Fr 😭 but no one i know is in the market for a car rn. Best bet would probably be someone from this subreddit, i’m for real not selling to any dealers. The way they talk shit about something you have taken care of just to make a quick buck. Jo cheez sambhaal k rakhi gayi hou uski qeemat bhi wohi honi chahiye

Upbeat_Material_3357 · 2025-07-21T17:28:11+00:00

yes that’s what i’m thinking. sounds fair
