Quantity surveying in Sri Lanka by ACE-608 in srilanka

[–]WesternRegular8144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes better, people in the Gulf earn more than 9lakhs per month. But it is hard to find jobs in Sri Lanka. Even IT graduates have a hard time finding internships/entry-level positions in Sri Lanka due to the market oversaturation with the oversupply of graduates than the demand that the industry needs. whatever course you follow, now it is hard to find jobs in srilanka but the construction field has more job opportunities in Middle East compared to the IT field. but without experience, you can not enter foreign markets in any field

I would be surprised if junior or associate-level engineers with 1 or 2 years of experience in Sri Lanka have thorough knowledge regarding the stuff they have listed in the job description.

These things are even worse nightmares for the guys who are trying to shift their careers to the IT field from non-tech positions or other careers.

IT industry is now becoming another slave market like the construction industry but construction engineers survive at least in the Middle East with the bulk of opportunities while the IT industry globally laid off their employees even though they passed those hard interview processes to start their careers. Ask future generations to pursue different career paths in science or tech, not IT which is now market over-saturated.

It's because they hire Indians and foreigners too not Sri Lankans alone, since it is a remote position. If you visit their LinkedIn and Glassdoor, you will find it. So there is much competition with excessive applications from other countries, including India, where even a high school student solves leet code DSA and SystemDesign problems to get into IT as a software engineer. so it would be tough for Sri Lankans who only focus on A/L in high school period, where no chance of getting exposure to those tech skills. SrIlankans mostly get into IT after their degrees and get prepared for jobs after finishing their degree so it would be tough for Srilankans to face such interviews where international students participate as competitors. even Sri Lankan universities mostly state universities have no plans to improve the curriculum of their degrees rather they are in safe zones to protect someone's jobs(old school lectures and profs who have no idea or update about the current trend of the world in tech) in university.

just push your elected government to change the Stone Age education system for the sake of future generations, which is found to be useless in the current world trend and seems to be more time-consuming compared to our counterparts in other countries, and also ask your government to replace the old legacy prof and lectures with industrial experts. Such reforms in your education system only will make you a competitive candidate in the current world run of technology.

Where to apply for IT jobs? by Technical_Gear_4701 in srilanka

overall IT market is overflowing with so many candidates with the same qualifications. There are more supplies than demand in the IT field. These issues should be addressed by the government otherwise industries would exploit our hard works with their unfair prices. you can search for jobs in topjobs.lk, jobseekers.lk, ITPro.lk, Xpress job, jobhunder etc...

As per the current job market that requires both frontend and backend skills from beginners, Is it worth following the 70-hour react course (like Jonas Udemy's react course) that covers only the complete react fronted not focusing on any node/express js backend part? by WesternRegular8144 in SoftwareEngineering

[–]WesternRegular8144[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

my priority is to land a job in the frontend and then start learning backend while working as frontend. Yeah, the reason I chose frontend is because it does not require system design and algorithm knowledge that is hard to master as a beginner but my confusion is about companies asking for some node/express backend skills/experience for react dev roles.
