💡 There are few slight differences, I have noticed between people who work at industry and also who works as researchers! Industry: a) As long as it is not capable of using in production, nobody values it. b) Skill is used as a measure to test the person capabilities of getting tasks done in the sprint. c) Given enough time, Industry people delivers products. Researchers: a) Every idea is valued and sometimes things are built from scratch. b) Skill is defined as the person who tries to solve a problem for a considerate amount of time. Thats, why in research there are master investigators, who have strong fundamentals. c) Given enough time, researchers comes up with novel proofs that helps in building the products. Therefore, having the ability of researcher and a mindset of product engineer is always important to innovate. #tech #learnings #industry_vs_research

One of the most effective ways to build something truly amazing is by asking a lot of "why". I consider myself fortunate to have always been surrounded by incredible people who patiently answered my questions, even those I feared might be perceived as silly. Remember, there are no dumb questions. If someone dismisses your question as foolish, it reflects more on their attitude than on your curiosity. Never hesitate to ask, especially when you think your question might be trivial. Embrace your curiosity and let it guide you. Asking questions is the foundation of learning and innovation. The pursuit of understanding is what leads to greatness. Always be curious and never hesitate to ask questions. Keep seeking answers and stay eager to learn. #tech #developers #engineering #product

According to TalentCorp, 18% (620,000 jobs) of 3.5 million employees in 10 key sectors will be highly impacted by AI, digital technology, and the green economy in the next 3 to 5 years, while 53% (1.8 million jobs) will be moderately affected, highlighting the urgent need for reskilling. The big question: What skills should you learn? As advised by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, if you want job security, learn how to use AI in your work and strengthen your human skills. In other words, keep upskilling—both in cutting-edge technologies and essential soft skills. If you're interested in advancing your skills in Sustainable Supply Chain Education, Green Transition Economics, or AI for Sustainability, consider applying for this special PhD research assistantship with a full scholarship. It prepares you for technology-driven job changes while addressing global sustainability challenges. https://lnkd.in/gZ4fN79s

Learning traditional methods in engineering feels like a paradox. While they strengthen our fundamentals and show us the roots of tech evolution, the same problems can now be solved in seconds with modern tools. Ironically, hiring rarely focuses on these methods, but without mastering them, scoring well in academics becomes tough, affecting job prospects. It makes me question: Are we stuck prioritizing outdated processes over real-world innovation? What do you think?

Labor requirements in tech are inherently demand-driven and it’s why I’m extremely confident when I say this: ➡️ The need for skilled labor in tech will never be met. And I believe that there is one simple reason for this: tech drives innovation. In other words, the tech sector creates the need for new skills and it “decides” what those skills are. In the last five years, we’ve seen AI burst out of the dusty offices of university professors into the offices of Apple, Nvidia, Google, and even into your home. The development of Alan Turing’s first computer meant that we needed people to operate, maintain and develop it. Once this developed into the first personal computer, we needed a new set of skills to program, operate, and miniaturize it. When the internet arrived we needed network engineers and system administrators. And now we are in the age of AI – the demand for skills in tech is never-ending. But there is one caveat: you must be ready to meet that demand. Up or re-skilling is how you stay relevant in tech and it's how you prevent yourself from becoming obsolete in an ever-changing environment. #Technology #Future #Careers

Building a Successful Technology Career: The Journey is the Reward The tech world evolves at lightning speed, offering endless opportunities for growth, learning, and innovation. Whether you're starting your career or looking to take it to the next level, here are a few lessons I’ve learned on my journey: 🚀 Stay Curious: Technology thrives on change.

I recently wrote a 'think piece' on behalf of a client where I talked about how we're soon to reach a pivot point in technology and how the tools, processes and techniques, will soon be fundamentally outdated and will fail to keep pace with the rate of change. That much is of course obvious to us all. AI, and all the other 'sexy-tech' is already making that clear. So no new news, there you'll say. But what dawned on me the very next day, is how dislocated the future work force already are! I've waxed lyrically about change for some while, but in recent months it struck me that the whole design of our societal model, not just employment, will be totally upended. For instance, why spend 3 or more years in Tertiary education when the things you're off to learn will be totally transformed inside 1 year, let alone 3. So, my moment of enlightenment is teaching me that we need to rethink society, the rules, the expectation placed upon institutions and on people, if we are to adapt and thrive, and indeed survive. I for one don't believe that any political leader, of whatever colour has truly grasped this, nor can they, by themselves. They're dealing with the problems of today and tomorrow, and for all the noise they cannot think about the 'Next Generation', whatever smart acronym we place on it - Gen? maybe. So, how do we solve for this seemingly intractable problem? I can honestly see no other way than taking the same approach that Mr Jobs did to computing, by radically evolving from the GUI, onto Smart Device, taking a gamble, placing bets and simply getting on with it. Time to be brave, or time to be sensible. I'd argue it's actually both. Discuss, if you wish?
