I'm an SDE-1 working as a backend engineer.

Maybe it's just me, but lately coding itself isn't that satisfying anymore. Especially with AI getting better every month. I still love building software, that's not the issue.

What I find myself obsessing over now is everything around the code. systems... networking... Distributed systems.. infrastructure... architecture. Even the business side of why certain technical decisions are made.

The problem is... none of this feels very accessible as a junior. Most of my day is implementing features. Which is expected. But I can't shake the feeling that if I keep doing only that, one year from now I'll just be a much faster coder.

If you were starting today, how would you intentionally move towards this kind of work? Not "learn X technology", but how would you shape your career? Teams? Roles? Side projects? Open source? Something else?

I know experience can't be rushed. I'm just trying to make sure I'm walking in the right direction.

Would genuinely appreciate advice from people who've already been through this.

ps: Please help this post reach more experienced people 😅

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a new app called Moovira, and we’re planning to launch first in Tampa.

The idea is to connect two groups of people:

People who need help with everyday tasks like cleaning, moving, assembly, yard work, delivery, etc.

And people who want flexible work opportunities around them.

The way it would work is pretty simple: clients post a job, Moovers can discover it, chat to confirm details, complete the job, and then payment/reviews are handled through the app.

It’s not only for one type of worker. It could be useful for professionals, students, freelancers, people already doing service work, or anyone looking for extra income.

We’re trying to build this city by city instead of launching everywhere at once, so Tampa would be the first place we test and grow it.

I’d really appreciate honest feedback:

Would you use something like this in Tampa, either to get help or to find work?

I am currently looking for opportunities in Network Engineering / Network Support / NOC roles.

I hold a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, along with CCNA certification, and I have approximately 1.5 years of experience as a Network Support Engineer.

My experience includes network troubleshooting, incident handling, monitoring, and supporting production environments.

At the moment, I am actively seeking a stable opportunity and open to entry-level or mid-level roles. I am also willing to relocate if required and join immediately.

If someone can help me secure a relevant opportunity, I would be genuinely grateful. As a token of appreciation, I am willing to offer 50% of my salary for the first 3 months after joining.

If you have any openings, referrals, or feedback on my profile or approach, I would appreciate your support.

Thank you for your time.

Looking for an intern for a networking product company .Required: CCNA-level knowledge (certification is a plus), TCP/IP, basic routing/switching, comfort with CLI. Duration: 6-12 months with stipend, Location: [Onsite Bengaluru / Hybrid], Responsibilities: Testing networking protocols and features of product, configuring lab , perform NRT tests. To apply: send CV to aakver@gmail.com with subject “Network Intern — <YourName>”. Short technical task will be part of screening.

Note:- based on 6 months performance review you can be a permanent employee.

I work in industrial networking and OT infrastructure, with experience in network design, segmentation, routing/switching, PLC/IED integration, SCADA-related architectures, industrial protocols, resiliency, and technical documentation.

I am interested in moving toward data center controls infrastructure and larger-scale networked control systems. I am not targeting traditional software engineering roles; I want to remain on the OT, controls, industrial networking, and critical-infrastructure side.

For people working in OT, industrial automation, utilities, manufacturing, or data center controls:

• Which skills are most valuable for moving into data center controls networking?
• Is it more useful to deepen expertise in industrial protocols and segmentation, or to focus more heavily on data center networking, automation, and cloud-connected infrastructure?
• Which types of companies or job titles should someone with this background target?

I am especially interested in roles involving control systems networking, critical infrastructure, OT segmentation, industrial Ethernet, and scalable operational environments.

Honestly, I’m a big believer that the current job market is a pure numbers game. "Quality over quantity" feels like a total trap if your volume is too low to even beat the algorithm. Here is the exact system and the hacks I used in the past few months:

• Treating the job hunt as a pure volume game: You've got to scale your baseline immediately. I started mass applying via 1-click platforms just to maintain a high daily resume volume. Let the statistical probability work in your favor instead of overthinking every single application.
• Bypassing the ghosting and find platforms specifically for coffee chat: Use coffee chat and build long-term relationship. Instead of cold outreach people who don't have intent to talk to people, use platforms like LinkedIn, LunchME, Slack/Discord communities to find people who have already shown interest in making new connections. Offline meet up is also an option.
• Running a strict 15-minute coffee chat framework: Whenever I get a call booked on LunchMe or connect with an alum, I keep it to a strict timer. I spend minutes 0–3 on a quick micro-pitch about who I am. Then, minutes 3–12 are all about asking them about a specific problem or pain point their team is facing right now. Finally, minutes 12–15 are the closing hook: "If I write up a quick one-page proposal on how I’d tackle that problem, would you be open to passing it to the hiring manager?" It works because you're offering a solution instead of just begging for a favor.
• Building a lightweight job-hunt CRM: High volume completely fails if you don't track the data. I built a super simple spreadsheet to track the Company, Contact, Platform, and Status. I set a hard rule to follow up exactly 4 days after any interaction or application so the momentum doesn't die.
• Templatizing outreach into copy-paste blocks: Doing high volume manually is impossible. I kept 3 core variations of my introductory and follow-up messages saved in a doc, customized only the specific industry or role title, and hit send.

Hope this helps!

Hi everyone,
I’m interested in building a career in Networking and DevOps, and I’m considering applying for an internship at Equinix.
For those who have worked there or know the company, would you recommend it as a good place to learn and grow in these fields?
Does the experience at Equinix provide solid exposure to networking, cloud infrastructure, automation, Linux, or DevOps-related technologies?
I’d love to hear about your experience and whether it helped you advance your career.
Thanks in advance!

Know how to setup and configuration TP-Link router or the same network 🛜 know OSI setup. I'm a new IT in start up company. I am looking na maging Kasama. Anyone.

Not a hacks post, just one thing that genuinely worked for me: coffee chats. Talking to people who already do the job I wanted got me further than any application ever did, and most folks are way more willing to give you 15 minutes than you'd expect. If you want to try it, there are a bunch of easy places to find people who are open to it: LinkedIn (just DM people, though it's more of a grind), ADPList, LunchMe, and plenty of industry-specific Facebook groups. Worth a shot if the application pile isn't getting you anywhere.

I am 50 years old and been in IT for a few years. I know how to run network cables amd terminate them. But i would lile to learn more. Where can I go to get free training and maybe do this as a side gig?

I’m 2 years in college and considering taking the move to work as a DCT. Wondering if network engineering could be something good for after college.
