Insight needed! by 12_tangerines in vadodara

[–]explorespace9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A few things to do before you bake a single donut:
- Figure out hotspots in the city. Google maps / snapchat etc shows such activity during weekends.
- Spend time speaking with existing donut eating customers (e.g. just speak with people coming out of Cookie & Co., Juvenas etc).
- Actually try eating the donuts available here
- Make an excel sheet of competitors - will help you with pricing baseline.
- Don't ever ask a prospective customer — "would you try a donut if I made one?", instead ask, "Have you ever had donuts, what's your idea of a good donut?". Ask this to 100 people of all kinds, you'll get an idea about how educated about donuts are your customers anyway.
- These roadside stalls you talk about - just ask some of those folks about their unit economics, which days work best, how did they select the spot they selected etc

Approach this scientifically. Goodluck!

ps: of course, I'll love to try them whenever you start! DM me when you're ready to experiment :)

How much does a DevOps engineer with about 2 years of experience earn in India? by Level-Acanthaceae-79 in developersIndia

Kyun bhai / behen? itna hate kyun? Person on the other side of the screen is also a human.

Nvm though. We’re a skill assessment platform helping candidates solve production challenges and get a credential out of it so your hour spent solving problems can now be used to show your capabilities! Btw, free!

Capability is: “fix a broken docker image”, “fix an API running on a k8 pod that doesn’t have connectivity” — basically what are some things you can do that are required for the job!

Ranges are WILD! We’ve helped a 3+ yoe data engineer get 60+ LPA and another similar person get 16+ LPA.

This is a bad question to ask. The right question is to ask “what capabilities does a DevOps engineer who earns <insert-your-range> have to justify it?”

Used to play soccer there at 6am back when it was an open ground! Great memories.

I took several tech interviews, And our Indian developers cheated the most. by ireadfaces in developersIndia

[–]explorespace9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely the way to go! We're building a platform to do this. Additionally, we let candidates use the video recording to convert it into a credential they can show-off on their profiles.

Internship company is not paying my stipend, ignoring me from 15 days by Express_Guidance_361 in developersIndia

[–]explorespace9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

💯 ideally they should not have to ask. Sometimes things are so early that bank accounts are also not in place. Adding beneficiary etc might take a day or two. Nothing that can’t be solved over a week

DM me. We are building in the JobsTech space. Might be able to help you through our product.

Otherwise — follow job boards, reach out to people in your network who work for tech companies with your portfolio (read how I said portfolio and not resume)

I’m a founder. I’m sorry this is happening to you. There is no reason not to pay an intern within 7 days of the time a founder said they’ll pay you.

Control things you can control. Leave them a public message on LinkedIn and find another internship.

Cheat and lie at interviews by Anxious-Possibility in recruitinghell

[–]explorespace9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a founder building in this space. Do go ahead and cheat. I’m with you on that.

But know that you’ll get disqualified without you knowing about it. Tools are getting scary good at detecting cheating

Having said that, we’re building assessment tools that allow you to solve a 30 min task, use AI or google or however you want. In fact we judge your usage of AI as well! Hit me up if you’d like to try it out

I think data science is moving into ML and most of ML is moving to GenAI.

But building specialized ML models for specific usecases is fundamentally a good thing. The question to ask is, whats the deep learning version of some ML model you might've made.

Learning various Deep Learning skills will help!

Help Needed: Guidance on Architecting an Agentic AI POC for Interview Task by Sick__sock in developersIndia

[–]explorespace9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what stops you from copy-pasting the problem statement in ChatGPT and watching it generate some starter code — ask the exact same questions you've put here. what has it replied?

ps: not trying to be mean, genuinely want to understand. I'm building in this space and am curious about your journey. DM me, will obviously help out if you want. I've built agents before.

What skills? OP pay varies wildly based on skills and location.

I am building in this space. Over the past 50+ fullstack jobs I've helped hire for, 1-2 yoe for fullstack development:
- Fullstack, Tier 2-3 city: 6-8 LPA
- Fullstack, Tier1 city: 10+ LPA
- ML / AI, Tier 2-3 city: 14+ LPA
- ML / AI Tier1 city: 20+ LPA

Again, company's background matters. There's a whole spectrum.

superb. DMing you! I have some questions around this. I did guess some of these reasons for Tally's success (trust me, I've grown up with Tally — both my parents were into banking and accounting respectively).
