Techie Shares AI Job Tips

Akaash Vishal Hazarika, a senior software engineer, has worked at big tech companies like Google and Amazon.

He says that getting a job in tech is different now because of AI.

He explains that while knowing the basics like data structures and algorithms is still important, companies now want more.

They want to see how you can use AI for coding, debugging, and designing systems.

Akaash suggests that new graduates should work on open-source projects, build a portfolio with AI-integrated projects, and learn cloud tools.

For experienced engineers, he advises using AI to make their work more efficient and to think about the costs and reliability of AI solutions.

He believes the best engineers will be those who can mix traditional skills with new AI tools.

He also shares that he failed an interview because he didn't use AI tools, which was a wake-up call for him.
