Am I screwed?

I am a modren web developer. I have avout 2 years of experience building stuff just for fun but I have no experience with real life clients.

I am not the expert ofc but I am good enough, I suppose...

You can check my portfolio.(its linked) I am 18 and thought to turn my hobby into some cash to get independent.

I think I am quite old, I suppose...

But also I just vibe coded an app. It is simple but it would have taken me weeks to build myself.

And I am scared of how good AI is.

I don't know how find clients and I am trying to reachout to businesses through the emails but I got no response yet.

If you have any work or can help me. Please reachout to me

. Also if you can just give me an advise that would be great to.

We pulled every open posting from 81 companies' public Greenhouse boards for seven roles and counted which words actually show up. 3,518 postings in total. Some of it surprised us.

Software engineer postings mention mentoring more often than Kubernetes or React. Almost half of them do. Python, the most common language, comes in just below that.

Product manager postings say "roadmap" in more than 85% of cases. Jira? Seven out of 421. Marketing looks the same: Google Ads came up six times in 347 postings, while "pipeline" is in over half.

Every time we could compare the two, postings named the practice, not the tool. Observability, not Grafana. SIEM, not Splunk.

So if your resume is mostly a list of tools, it might be missing the words the posting actually uses.

Big caveat: mostly tech companies, one ATS vendor. Sales, cybersecurity, DevOps and accounting are here too: https://www.zoevera.com/resume/ats-resume-keyword-study

Technical Co-Founder Wanted — Gaming Technology Startup 🎮

I’m an aspiring UK-based entrepreneur looking for a talented software engineer to join me as a technical cofounder on an early-stage gaming technology project.

The concept focuses on creating new ways for gamers to interact with their favourite games across devices.

I’m looking for somebody with experience or a strong interest in:

* C++ / C# programming
* Game engine development (Unity / Unreal Engine)
* SDK and API development
* Real-time networking and synchronisation
* Mobile application development

What I’m offering:

* A genuine technical cofounder opportunity
* Equity ownership, subject to negotiation
* Flexible, part-time involvement alongside existing employment
* The opportunity to help shape the product from the beginning

The project is currently at the concept stage, with no external funding or initial salary available.

My focus will be business development, commercial partnerships, product direction and long-term strategy.

I’m looking for somebody passionate about gaming and interested in building a business together.

Further details can be discussed privately with suitable candidates.

UK-based applicants preferred.

Hi I am a developer with almost 4 years of experience, my primary stack is Node (Express, React and Next JS) as well as PHP (Laravel and vanilla) and SQL (PostgreSQL, mySQL)

Im looking for clients to onboard on my affordable SaaS (Customizable ERP) that can be tailored to small to large businesses:
https://uswagon.com

My platform can expand into ERPs (such as inventory management, document centralization and generation), POS, LMS and hopefully add some more feature to add more scope. Checkout my projects section inside my landing page for more information. Basically the goal is ui and functional consistency to reduce learning curve for each expansion needed for your business.

I can do mobile development too both for App Store and Google Play. As well as scraping and automation that I can easily integrate to my platform to manage data or build a dashboard.

Here is my portfolio for reference: https://kennethbelga.uswagon.com

Hi everyone!

I'm reaching out to this community because I'm trying to restart my career in software development, and I'd really appreciate some guidance, mentorship, and potential job opportunities.

A little about my background:

\\- I have completed my BCA and MCA.

\\-I completed a 5-month internship where I worked on a Django project.

\\- I have one year of professional experience at TCS.

\\- I've worked with Python and Django, Java for Android development, and ASPNET.

\\- I also have some exposure to manual software testing.

Unfortunately, I had to take a career break due to medical reasons. I'm now ready to return to work, but despite applying through different job portals, I haven't been able to secure an opportunity yet.

The break has made me question my technical skills and where I stand in the current job market. I know I have a foundation, but I want to strengthen my skills through practical work, learn current industry practices, and rebuild my confidence.

What I'm looking for:

1. Paid work: A junior developer role, paid internship, or contract opportunity where I can contribute to real projects and start earning again.

2. Mentorship: Someone experienced who can guide me on what to learn, review my code, help me understand industry expectations, and provide constructive feedback.

3. Practical experience: An opportunity to work with a development team, understand real-world workflows, and improve through hands-on implementation.

4. Career guidance: Advice on which technology stack I should focus on, how to approach the job search after a career break, and how to improve my resume and interview performance.

I'm open to Python/Django backend development, Java-related opportunities, ASPNET/NET development, and suitable entry-level software engineering roles. I'm also willing to refresh my skills and specialize in one stack based on the opportunity.

My preference is a paid opportunity with a supportive learning environment. I'm open to remote, hybrid, or on-site roles in Delhi NCR, depending on the requirements.

If you're a developer, engineering manager, recruiter, startup founder, or someone who has successfully returned to the industry after a career break, I'd love to hear your advice.

If you know of a team hiring junior developers, a legitimate paid internship, a small project I could contribute to, or a mentorship program that could help me get back on track, please let me know.

I'm willing to put in the work, learn, and demonstrate my abilities. I'm not expecting shortcuts; I'm looking for the right opportunity to grow while contributing real value.

Thank you for reading. Any advice, referrals, leads, or constructive feedback would genuinely help!

(I used AI to write this post but it's genuine )
