Hi, i am software engineer , managed to save & invest 1 CR , and i am still in late 20s.
I still feel there’s a long way to go. Has anyone achieved FIRE actually?
As the title suggests, Apple claims that iOS 27 is faster in every aspect. Should I update from iOS 26.6 stable to iOS 27 Beta 5?
I experienced Beta 4, which wasn’t too bad. However, I’m now eager to try iOS 27 Beta 5.
Please provide me with reasons to do so and reasons not to.
I have the desert titanium 256gb 16 pro max since 11 months now.
I daily remove it’s cover and admire the build quality ❤️❤️❤️ i am so glad that i bought it with my hard earned money. It’s so special to me
I’m a software engineer from Pakistan with around 5 years of experience. Recently, I’ve been approached by a few companies that offer what they call the “US model.”
From what I understand, the process works something like this:
You interview pretending to be a person based in the US.
Someone else’s identity (including SSN and other details) is used for employment and background verification.
Once the job is secured, the company laptop is shipped to a US address and then forwarded to Pakistan/India
You do the actual work from Pakistan/India while the client believes they’re employing someone in the US.
The money is obviously much better than local salaries, which is why I’m sure many people consider it.
I’m **not looking for moral judgments**. I’m trying to understand the practical side from people who have actually experienced this or have firsthand knowledge.
Some questions I have:
How common is this model nowadays?
How often do people get caught?
What usually happens if the client discovers it?
Is it sustainable for 2–5 years, or do these arrangements typically fall apart?
Has anyone here actually worked under this model? If so, what was your experience?
If you left it, why?
I’d appreciate genuine experiences rather than speculation. Feel free to use a throwaway account if you’re not comfortable posting from your main account.

Hi guys,
I use an Iphone 16 Pro Max, however i am not fully into apple ecosystem. I always used windows laptop and samsung airbuds.
Should i shift to a Macbook Air or Pro? If yes, what would be a suitable device for me?
For context: I am a Software Engineer
Hi Enthusiasts,
I own a 10-year-old Honda City Aspire 1.5 Manual Variant. It’s been quite reliable, having been purchased used. I’ve only done regular maintenance like engine oil changes.
I’ve been contemplating whether this car is sufficient for my needs in Pakistan. I reside in Lahore and wonder if it can take me to places like Babusar Top and Skardu. Alternatively, should I consider getting a larger Chinese car?
Many people in my social circle own SUVs and Crossovers, which has made me question whether I should upgrade my car as well. While it doesn’t cause any issues and it’s my first car, I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether I should upgrade or save money for something else.
Apologies if this is more of a financial or car-related question.
Hi guys,
I have seen lifestyle of People of Model town Lahore. It’s like a bubble they’re living in. Extremely rich people (MASHALLAH).
I wanna own a big mansion like them. How can i do that?
Right now i make just 600k a month as a software engineer. I wanna be ELITE of the society.
Help me with a path🥲
Hi Pakistanis,
I have been using an Iphone 16 pro max since 8 months. I miss some of the features of samsung like secure folder, third party apps.
But i like Iphone overall UI and especially camera.
Should i consider switching to S25 Ultra ?
The summers are really hitting my energy levels. I just wanna lay down in a cool place and do nothing and just sleep forever.
My body & mind feels tired. I am a software engineer. Most days I work from home.
So they went to a bank , someone convinced them to buy Adamjee life insurance. They invested pkr 100k in that. They didn’t take my opinion in it.
All they have is 20 lakh savings, yet they purchased this so called insurance that they have no knowledge about just coming under salesman pressure.
Now it’s time to pay second installment worth 100k. I am thinking that, we should not pay it and forget the 100k that they invested.
Am i Right? Otherwise, they would have to pay 100k annually every year to continue this so called insurance.
