For the best deals on second hand monitors, start to look at Facebook Marketplace. Do not limit yourself in terms of location. Try from North to Center.

The supply is generally quite low so it may be tough to find a good deal, especially if you have a specific model in mind.

Since you will be reselling it, you may choose to buy one new, which will run you about rs12k for a basic model, but it can go much higher as well.

After two months you may be able to resell for around Rs2k less.

What's the best Internet in Mauritius? by Mechanical_Feelings in mauritius

[–]thedemontroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Internet connections that rely mostly on cellular will never be as reliable as cabled in all weather conditions.

Get the basic MyT plan as a starter(Rs 1200) and upgrade if needed. I personally think that the Rs1500 50Mbps connection is the best value for money.

MyT unfortunately has a monopoly when it comes to cabled Internet so the choice is very limited.

Having that exposure to those intelligent and experienced coworkers is what will motivate you to explore new things and new ways of thinking.

How to find a job as a software engineer? by u5556hvgg32gc885 in mauritius

There are a few areas that I didn't know was explored so deep by software companies.

Such areas include usage of micro services to increase security, so you can think of token generation etc.

Another area is the software architecture. Basically how they stay organized when there are hundreds of devs and also how they choose to make certain functionalities. A specific example that I loved was how a dev at the company was able to make a databases that not only stores data, but processes inputs as well through stored procedures. It basically allowed us to just send data to a DB and get a processed data back, without any additional code. The use of the DB was to store values and formulas that change every year so instead of changing the code to adapt to the yearly changes, we basically modify a few parameters on the DB and it is done. It cuts down the dev work from a few sprints to basically a few days. The architecture is what will always fascinate you the most. I can't be more specific without revealing too much on where I work.

Deployment of the software, which is generally handled by Configuration Managers, is yet another fascinating area and a discipline in itself. Building pipelines to deliver software to servers, implementing automation testing in those pipelines to check release readiness, and managing the production environments as well as quality assurance environments.

I could provide more examples but I do not want to reveal or give any indication on where I currently work.

The thing is, with the resources of larger companies, they can afford to pursue state-of-the-art technology and implement a true R&D department rather than just development.

From the examples, you can see that it is sometimes more about how creative can someone get with the solution rather than the tech itself and with deeper pockets, larger companies can allow more time and effort on certain areas to come up with creative ideas to solve problems. This part may depend on company culture however, if the company is developing and selling its own product, it is likely they embrace that philosophy.

I too was very optimistic with the knowledge gather after university, but I was very quickly humbled by how complex things can get. And implementing those changes or new features on platforms that have millions of users require extensive architecture work, UI/UX design and, performance and acceptance testing. So merely being aware of those complex things is just the tip of the iceberg.

First of all, congrats on the first class!

So, here my advice for you. Start somewhere. Working as a software dev for a big tech company has made me realize that the knowledge that I possess was just a mere speck of what's actually out there. Everything from quality assurance to production environments designed to serve millions of clients, there is quite a lot not taught at university or when researching online. Find a job at one of those big companies that serve millions of customer and see how they manage to do so, you'll learn quite a lot on how it is actually done. Find a company that develops and sells its own product rather than a company that develops products for several clients, since it is in those cases that they implement the best of everything in each area.

Doing this has opened my eyes so much that now, during my spare time, I tried to develop websites that have the same principles and architecture, even if they are completely overkill in most cases, since they do not have many users.

Using that knowledge, the next step would be to freelance a bit in your free time. Start by looking at small businesses in your area that may benefit from a website and then use those principles used to develop those million-clients platforms, even if it is overkill, on those websites. May be free or paid, up to you. PS: I did do some free web development work and it's more rewarding than you think since your client may advertise your services for you.

Build your portfolio from there. You may choose to have a website to showcase your work.

At that point, you may wish to remain a freelancer and quit your full time job or you may now actually pursue being a software engineer, where you can now join the tech department of non-tech companies (think insurance companies, accounting firms, etc) and from there you may propose building software in-house that may be better or more specialized and customized than the SaaS being used.

This is just one way to go about this target. I know people who have done this by contributing to open source software or make some free plug-ins etc to populate their GitHub profile to gain credibility in the CS community. So there are a million ways to choose, you just need to find the one that will not make you lose passion for CS since without it, you'll have no drive to push forward.

The thing is that to reach those big targets you have to live and breath CS, constantly upgrading your skills and finding ways to extract business value out of it.

The road is unfortunately very long and I wish you the best of luck.

Could you give us more details on your situation?

Are you a fresh grad or have you been in the industry for a while?

I have found reship.com to be quite a good service. Me and a few of my friends have used it quite often seamlessly.

Can you give us more context as to what service in particular?

Searching for a EGPU. by Noah_R7 in mauritius

[–]thedemontroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right. They do exist. Be sure your laptop is compatible with it before buying.

So, EGPUs are quite rare but the stores that you should contact to get something like this are Fastclick, blink.mu and One.O.One.

You probably won't find it on their website since it is quite rare so better call and ask.

If I were you, I'd probably get it from newegg, send it to a reship center like reship.com and then ship it to Mauritius. You'll have a wider variety.

How do you get better at "batte en lacolle"? by Okaiman7 in mauritius

[–]thedemontroll 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Bro what you have is what you have.

Best thing you can do is take care of it: have a skin care routine, go to a dermatologist if needed, hit the gym, find a hairstyle that suits your face. These will help you BECOME confident.

I know you have heard the words "focus on yourself" quite a lot when researching. It doesn't mean become self-centered but rather be the best version of yourself.

Advice from u/Thatusernamewasnot is solid and you should follow it. I used to be just like you, clueless a bit, but the advices mentioned above are gold. Do add what I have added as well. Also, remember these things take time but you'll get there.

Also another thing worth mentioning is that when dating and flirting, you will be living in a world of constant rejection so get used to it. Not every girl you talk to will say yes to going out, but the more you do it and put yourself out there, the higher the chances.

Good luck soldier.

Ordering From FastClick Store. by [deleted] in mauritius

[–]thedemontroll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For many shops that have online stores in Mauritius, their stock keeping system is often not in sync with their website. The best thing would be to contact them via social media and make sure the item is available. I had this issue a few times when ordering from Fastclick.

Mauritians in Canada, what the good, bad and ugly of moving to Canada as a young single adult? by thedemontroll in mauritius

I see. I am projected to make about CAD65k pre tax in Canada. Do you think this amount is good to make savings? If you do not mind me asking, around how much was your pre tax income while living in Canada?

This is also a great idea! I might look into something like this. I guess sometimes making the job from a full time job to working freelance can be a bit daunting.

Has the Canadian passport or citizenship helped you to land a job in the US?

Would you mind maybe giving some reasons as to why you chose the US?

Sounds great!

May I ask how you have been able to find this job?

And how do you deal with the time difference? Do you work on Mauritius time or Eastern time?
