Hi all

Can you all suggest me ideas or gigs I can work upon. I am a full time software engineer and can invest around 2 or 3L of investment.

Do let me know ideas or if you need investment. Happy to discuss.

To give back to this community.

I know exactly how brutal and exhausting the job market is right now.

After grinding through 70+ interviews and 500+ auto rejections; navigating multiple banking offers and ultimately landing a role at MAANG as an SDE2; I wanted to share what actually moved the needle for me. I get messages for guidance and referral help on a daily basis, so I wanted to centralize the resources.

Feel free to read the articles in the first comment below. I am also happy to refer strong, prepared candidates and answer any questions you have about the process. Happy to ans your questions too!

Hi,

I am a software engineer and a travel (completed 25+ treks and a few international trips) + shortfilm cinematographer (learning phase with not much equipments) myself. A few of my videos have got 200k-300k views on ig. I am just looking to colab with some passsionate creative cinematographers/photographers or keen learners with camera gears to capture me. I can edit videos myself on Adobe apps as well. So it'll be a smoother process for you. I already have ideas.

It's just its hard to shoot myself alone and edit the videos with my corporate setting.

I am based in mahadevpura.

Anyone willing to learn, colab, please do let me know and reach out. If gigs go well, we can discuss on the payments based on the proficiency level.

Hi all,

26M software engineer and an avid travel cinematographer here.

Thank.

Hi all,
I've been calling the dealer every day for over two months for an update, but it still hasn't arrived. The RE app shows 19th May delivery. I need to plan my travel flights, etc., next month, but I'm stuck because of this. The dealer was asking for payment, but when I asked to see the bike and chassis number, he said it had not arrived.

How can I expedite it? Please help, it's really annoying and impacting my other plans.

Booked at: Jayanagar, Bangalore
Royal Enfield Hunter 350 : Tokyo Black

Hi everyone,

It's been 3 years since I started posting high-quality travel content, consistently investing in travel expenses, camera gear, hours of editing, custom thumbnails, SEO optimization, the works. And yet, here I am, stuck at around 295 subscribers [of which a few are my own family and friends]. I genuinely need help and I don't know where else to turn.

For context: I post the same content on Instagram, where a few videos have crossed 100K–200K views. YouTube, however, has been completely stagnant. In the early days, I put an insane amount of effort into B-roll editing and cinematic, aesthetic videos. People around me love my content. I've even received appreciation from travel communities while on trips but the metrics just don't reflect it.

A few months ago, I switched to short-form content on recommendation. I recently started posting travel financial hacks and tips to add value and improve retention, but nothing's changed. I still hit a wall at 1.5K–2K views. I spend significant time on Shorts thumbnails, SEO, high-search-volume descriptions, and hook titles and yet, I can't break through.

Meanwhile, people in the same niche are posting random, low-effort Shorts with no tags, no SEO, no proper thumbnails, sometimes just a single random word as the title and they're pulling in hundreds of thousands of views. A girl literally started two weeks ago and already has 10K subscribers [you all know what she has been showing intentionally and she knows how the algo works]. I get that the algorithm rewards certain things, but I genuinely can't figure out what I'm missing.

I'm a full-time software engineer. I spend my travel time filming and my free time editing, and I have nothing to show for it in terms of growth. I'm exhausted and close to giving up, but I don't want to quit without at least understanding what I'm doing wrong.

If anyone has genuine, constructive feedback whether it's about my content strategy, algorithm understanding, or anything else, I'm all ears. I'm even willing to pay a small amount for a real audit or consultation from someone who actually knows what they're talking about.

Please be honest. I can handle it, feel free to roast me. I just need real answers to grow.

Posting my links in the comment/bio, please do help, fellow youtubers 🙏

Hi all,

My boyfriend has been working really hard for the last 2-3 years - traveling, working full-time, and editing amazing content. But I'm not sure why he's still stuck in a loop. A lot of us love his content, travel hacks/tips and admire his career trajectory. He's also been helping a lot of people.

On his upcoming birthday next month, I really want to thank him and surprise him. Could you all please engage with his travel content (he is good at it I feel also posts travel hacks, cinematography tips, pose ideas) and subscribe if you like it? I really want to push/ motivate him since he's about to give up.

Also, please share some feedback so I can indirectly pass it on to him because, tbh, I'm a noob at this.

Tldr; A fellow girlie (in love) asking for help with my boyfriend's birthday surprise to subscribe/engage/review his yt channel.

I'll paste his YouTube channel in the comment.

Thank you to everyone in advance.

Looking for a F to join me for a movie, mostly The Devil Wears Prada 2. I have MG road NewFangled Minplex in mind, show at 5:30pm if anyone is willing to join.

Hi all,

I am a software engineer at Amazon, a gym and travel enthusiast. I've completed 25+ treks, a few international trips, and several trips around the outskirts of Bangalore in the last year since I moved here.

Due to tight work deliverables (reason why I mentioned my work company) and other commitments, I haven't had the bandwidth to plan anything for May 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. I'm also a travel content creator - I make good edits, own a few gadgets, and I am a fun personality fs.

If anyone or any group has already planned something and is open to having me join, please let me know. I'd be happy to contribute and be a part of it.
