So i was thinking of applying to jobs off campus and started looking for jobs on popular websites like wellfound , indeed, linkedin, unstop etc..... and its disgusting how low people are willing to play for full time roles these days. I MEAN 6000-7000 INR ?????? that too for full stack engineer and AI roles!! and even when u apply to these roles , its almost impossible to get a response from them. What are your thoughts and do u guys have any tips regarding the same.

Hey everyone,

We are currently looking for detail-oriented, qualified candidates to work on AI platforms (evaluating model responses, data annotation, and quality assurance).

This is a great fit if you're looking for flexible remote work with solid pay.

Requirements:

• English Proficiency: Strong written English skills (crucial for evaluating responses).
• Attention to Detail: Ability to follow guidelines, think critically, and spot subtle errors.
• Tech Setup: Reliable laptop/PC and a stable internet connection.

The Offer:

• Pay Rate: Starting at $15+/hour.
• Schedule: 100% Flexible — set your own hours and working days.
• Location: Fully Remote.

If you meet the requirements and are interested, please leave a comment below and send me a DM with a quick intro (or your background/skills). I’ll get back to you with the next steps!

Resource Depletion: As discussed, AI's thirst is unprecedented. A recent UN University report projects that by 2030, the global AI infrastructure will consume 9.3 trillion liters of water annually—equal to the basic domestic water needs of 1.3 billion people. It is also forcing power grids to rely more on fossil fuels to meet the massive electricity demand.

The Livelihood Crisis: Organizations like the World Economic Forum and the IMF note that AI is not just changing jobs; it is threatening livelihoods. While previous technological shifts replaced physical labor, AI is automating analytical and creative tasks. This strips away entry-level roles, cutting off the traditional pathways people use to build careers and develop institutional knowledge.

Why Do We "Need" It?

If we don't need AI to write emails or generate marketing copy, where is the actual necessity?

The argument for AI's necessity lies in scale and complexity. There are planetary-level problems that have grown too complex for human cognitive capacity to solve in the time we have left. We don't strictly "need" Generative AI (like ChatGPT or image generators) for human survival, but scientists argue we do need Analytical AI.

Here is where the technology is genuinely doing work humans could not do alone:

Medical and Biological Breakthroughs: For 50 years, biologists struggled to predict how proteins fold—a key to understanding and curing diseases. In just a few years, an AI system mapped over 200 million protein structures, effectively solving the problem and accelerating drug discovery by decades.

Climate and Energy Optimization: The International Energy Agency (IEA) projects that AI could reduce global carbon emissions by up to 1.4 gigatons by 2035. It does this by analyzing vast amounts of satellite and weather data to perfectly balance power grids, seamlessly integrating unpredictable solar and wind energy.

Fixing Water Infrastructure: Ironically, AI is being deployed to solve water scarcity. Aging infrastructure worldwide leaks trillions of liters of clean water every year. AI-driven sensor networks monitor municipal pipes, predicting and pinpointing leaks in milliseconds before massive losses occur, achieving a scale of autonomous water management that manual systems simply cannot match.

Hey guys

Starting my journey to apply to jobs (yay, finally :))

I wanted to know if you guys have started applying using cv.md or resume.md files instead of the standard resume.pdf or resume.docx file these days.

Having fallen in love with .md recently (ahem!!), I feel they are so easy to edit and maintain that it should be the de-facto standard for us, devs. What's your take on this?

If this has not been done or not that popular, do you guys feel it will eventually become the format for us or for anyone, for that matter?

I'm 40 years old and have been in IT for 20 years, the last 10 as a senior web developer. I'm completely burnt out and want to step away from work for a year, maybe two. We live in Canada, so healthcare is a non-issue here in a couple of ways: core medical care is publicly funded regardless of employment status, and on top of that, I'd be added to my wife's employer insurance for dental, vision, and prescriptions while I'm not working.

On the financial side, we have no mortgage, no kids, spend around $35,000/year, and have $1.1 million in investable assets also her income alone also covers our household expenses roughly twice over. Would you take on the risk of stepping away for a year or two in this situation? I know it might sound like an obvious yes, but I don't want this to unintentionally turn into permanent retirement.

My plan is to try freelancing and explore building something of my own with AI. I just don't have the energy to pursue that while working full-time — honestly, I can barely keep up with my actual job right now, let alone anything extra. The downside here of course is the opportunity cost on giving up a $130,000 salary, and given our very low living expenses almost 80% of the net pay goes to investments which essentially makes the opportunity cost even worse.

Edit

My wife is OK with this, I did also ask my company for a unpaid sabbatical but my company doesn't offer this.

I'm a software engineer with 4 years of experience, and lately I've been feeling lost—not because I don't know what to do, but because I feel like I'm trying to do it alone.

Around me, most people seem content with their current jobs and salaries. Everyone says they want a better company or a higher package, but very few are willing to consistently put in the hours required to get there. I don't mean this as criticism—it's just what I've observed.

The problem is that I'm also affected by my environment.

I genuinely want to improve. I've been trying to study DSA to become a better problem solver and prepare for higher-paying opportunities. I also want to deepen my backend engineering skills and eventually build products of my own.

But I struggle with consistency.

My brain constantly wants everything to be concise, fast, and immediately understandable. The moment something requires sustained effort, I find myself distracted. Then I feel guilty for not making progress, and the cycle repeats.

What I think I'm really missing isn't another course or roadmap—it's an environment.

I want to surround myself with people who are obsessed with building things, learning, and pushing themselves. People working on startups, open-source projects, SaaS products, AI tools, developer tools—anything where there's real ownership and continuous learning.

I'm not looking for shortcuts or passive motivation. I'm looking for a mission.

If you're building something and need another backend engineer who's willing to learn, contribute, and put in the work, I'd genuinely love to be involved. I don't expect immediate rewards—I want experience, accountability, and the chance to grow alongside ambitious people.

If you've ever felt this way and managed to break out of it, I'd really appreciate hearing what changed for you.

I'm 26, based in India, with 4 YOE in backend development (primarily Java/Spring Boot), and I'm ready to invest serious effort into becoming much better than I am today.

Thanks for reading.

To be honest, I don’t have professional experience in software development because I’m currently working in the healthcare sector but I do want related to IT. However, I have a strong understanding of DSA, Java, Spring Boot, and full-stack development. I’ve also built multiple full-stack projects and explored AI to some extent.
I believe I have the knowledge and problem-solving skills needed to crack Google’s interviews. The only issue is that my resume isn’t getting shortlisted. Sometimes I wonder if it’s because my work experience isn’t related to software development rather than the quality of my personal projects.
How can I improve my resume so that it has a better chance of getting shortlisted by Google?
