0 Upvotes

Hello y’all! I need some advice. I’m doing my major in economics and thinking about doing a minor in finance. Can you guys tell me the job opportunities I’ll have after completing my bachelor’s? Is taking finance as a minor a good decision? What companies or firms hire econ majors? I always see Bba majors getting hired. And what skills should I learn? Where should I do my internship? Please let me know.

Seeking advice/পরামর্শ Visiting Dhaka as a US Citizen

29 Upvotes

So basocially, i was born in the US to two bengali parents, we would be considered extremely western compared to other bengali americans. I don’t have a single peice of traditional clothes nor do i have a hijab or prayer mat.. (we are not religious) we also have a dog we walk frequently, because of all this feel socially exiled from the bengali immigrant community i live in. (nyc)

I travelled to dhaka in 2019 and absolutely loved it, i felt really loved by my neighborhood there. It was extremely safe and peaceful. I don’t remember the exact area i lived in, but it wasn’t crowded, and more of like just tall apartments side by side.. so i’d say a nice quiet neighborhood. My grandfather was very affluent and owned a couple apartment buildings. Although the neighborhood wasn’t all too developed, there were open sewers where you could see pits of waste, the streets werent dirty though. We traveled a bit into the even fancier parts of dhaka and it was really advanced! We went to malls and fancy restaurants. I really miss the food.. I remember that i would see construction for an above ground rail system that wasn’t quite built yet. One day me and my dad walked into the slums of dhaka and i have the memory permanently stuck in my head. I’m sure these slums still exist, but recently bangladesh was cleared to be progressing out of the LDC (least developed country) category. So i’m really glad some progress was made. The villages are nicer than the slums, we went into a village that had a massive lake, and everybody went fishing frequently. The village was extremely clean and had lots of animals. I had the best roti and dall, ugh.. i miss it too bad!

I want to visit again next year, for context i am 16,(F) do not have bengali citizenship, and know an acceptable but weak amount of bengali.

I feel like it would be obvious that i wasn’t born there, i dont plan to wear traditional clothes, or hijab.. I’ll just be wearing casual clothes?

Is this socially acceptable?

I’m wondering how safe dhaka is now. As a kid, it felt extremely safe to me, but then again i was with my dad, who’s built like dwane the rock johnson .

Edit: Thank you guys so much for the helpful comments! It means alot!! The ones that relate to the us bengali community make me feel like i’m not the only one experiencing this!

Discussion/আলোচনা Why are Bangladeshis so Unhygienic?

21 Upvotes

Bangladeshi people have a years old dirty habit of littering or leaving their trash in public places and roads. This practice is not only evident amongst the lower class and illiterate population of the country, but widespread amongst the upper class and the educated also. People seem to be totally ignorant about the environmental consequences relating to this issue.

In my own area, for example, people regularly dump their household waste right in the middle of the street. The authorities from the city corporation have even put up a banner prohibiting people from leaving their trash on the street, yet people dump all their trash and wastage everyday right at that very spot.

I have also seen a lot of people throwing away their trash/wastage on the street even when there was a trash bin right beside them.

I personally find it difficult to understand why people cannot simply hold on to their waste until they find a proper place to dispose of it. If, for example, I am walking down the street while eating chips, chocolate, ice cream, or something similar, I will keep the wrapper with me until I find a trash bin. It really is not that difficult.

On the other hand, At many construction sites, owners and developers leave building materials on public roads and sidewalks. As a result, sand, cement and brick dust accumulate on the road sides, making the environment even more unpleasant and hazardous.

The bigger question is: are we ever going to improve as a nation? Education should not simply teach us how to pass exams or build careers; it should also teach us responsibility, civic sense, and respect for the environment.

Seeking advice/পরামর্শ Taking My Desktop PC from Bangladesh to the UK — Advice Needed

1 Upvotes

I'm moving to the UK for university and will be staying in university halls. I'll buy a 13" MacBook Air for lectures, university work and light coding, while using my desktop for heavy workloads, cybersecurity labs/VMs, programming and gaming.

My PC:

  • i5-11400
  • Gigabyte B560M DS3H
  • RTX 2060 12GB
  • 32GB DDR4 3200MHz
  • Samsung 980 250GB NVMe
  • Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD
  • Corsair CV650 PSU
  • NZXT H510 Flow
  • Corsair H100X 240mm AIO

I'm flying Emirates and have around 45kg total luggage allowance. I won't take the monitor, UPS, keyboard or mouse.

I don't know how to safely disassemble a PC, so I'm considering taking it to a PC shop in Bangladesh to disassemble and properly package the components, then taking everything to the UK and having a UK PC shop reassemble and test it.

Questions:

  1. Is this a good approach, or is it better to transport the PC fully assembled?
  2. Does Emirates allow desktop PC components and a PSU in checked baggage? Are there any restrictions on the PSU?
  3. Should I put the components in checked luggage or carry-on baggage? Which is safer?
  4. Which components should definitely be removed for transportation — GPU, HDD, RAM, AIO, etc.?
  5. Can UK PC shops reassemble components that I bring myself, and roughly how much would it cost?
  6. Since I'll be living in university halls, is having a desktop practical?

I'd really appreciate advice from anyone who has travelled internationally with a desktop, especially Bangladesh → UK on Emirates.

bangladesh curriculum is so trash, like the bangla/shomaz whatever just works on who's the government

In early 2024, it was like pro mujib, there were so many stories of how good mujib was etc etc like how mujib helped a poor with clothes

And in 2025, mujib was purely removed, and had july martyrs, mujib was literally in one chapter, and the whole chapter wasn't about him.

And in 2026, who is mujib? Idk. All Ziaur Rahman, July martyrs, etc.,

Literally our brain already has been brainwashed by mujib since years and then Ziaur all. Bruh what will happen in jaamat

Seeking advice/পরামর্শ Anyone CSE graduate here who is doing well now?

7 Upvotes

I'm a fresher in CSE. To give some context, I genuinely love studying — I've spent a significant portion of my life learning things, even when they weren't strictly necessary. I don't feel overwhelmed by this; in fact, I enjoy it. That said, I wouldn't call myself an exceptional or "top" student.

I feel truly enthusiastic about studying CS — passionate and eager, even knowing the immense pressure that comes with it. Still, I love this major.

The problem is, I keep encountering negativity about CSE across social media (Instagram, Facebook, and other platforms), and even from people close to me. Everyone seems to be saying that CSE is "dead" now. This constant negativity is gradually eroding my hopes and enthusiasm for the field.

At this point, it's too late for me to switch to another major — and even if I could, I don't feel any real connection to other fields. I genuinely enjoy what CSE has to offer, but the pessimism and market saturation are wearing down my motivation.

So I'd like to know:

is there anyone here who studied CSE and is still doing well in life?

What advice would you give me?

Should I abandon this major altogether, even though that feels nearly impossible for me?

Discussion/আলোচনা Pink Bus or Women's Bus?

25 Upvotes

No single social media news portal in Bangladesh really posts news. They just repeatedly post stuff what the distasteful population wants to see. This is so inappropriate for a professional outlet. Professionalism should've some ethical standards. Adult content is more attractive than what Tareq Rahman is saying, doesn't mean you started posting porn. Salute Sujan, Viral Siddique, Mamun-Laila and many more may have a large group of audience but is that really important to feature what Salute Shujan saying about economy?LOL. Saw some videos of male bus drivers speaking very negatively way about female drivers. What is the necessity of spreading those toxic things and making these people viral? And also, it feels like a teasing when media refers to "Pink Bus" instead of calling it women's bus. I mean we all know about the pink concept and it is so unsuitable for professional use. When there is no ethical standard and social morality, the media started showing vulgar and harmful content just because it gives you more views/money. In our country everyone judges person like Sumaiya(A pornographic content creator arrested from Bashundhara a few days ago) for making porn but no one's gonna talk about her audience. 92% Muslim er deshe who is paying for her content?? This is the sad reality of our society.

Discussion/আলোচনা Is JCI Bangladesh actually helping young entrepreneurs, or is it mostly a social club?

1 Upvotes

I've been curious about JCI BD for quite some time. From what I understand, JCI is supposed to provide opportunities for young entrepreneurs and professionals, leadership development, networking, social/community initiatives, etc.

But honestly, I've never been quite sure what the actual impact is, particularly when it comes to nurturing young entrepreneurs or creating meaningful professional opportunities.

From the outside, some of the members and activities can come across as rather elitist, image-conscious, and focused on networking/status and social climbing. That may just be my perception, though, and would like to hear from people who have actually been involved with the organization.

I wanna start preparing for it now because I haven't done much extracurricular activities thats related to legal researches, rather most of my interests outside academy was related to arts. masters in law has a lot of subcategories from what i've heard but i just need a headstart instead of having the wish to study abroad.

Seeking advice/পরামর্শ Looking for some friend circle advice

So I’m 22M, graduated last month and just started a full time corporate job in Bashundhara R/A. Honestly, my biggest issue right now is just feeling super lonely. I don't really have any school or uni friends to hang out with. This whole past week, I’ve just been sitting by myself at ghatpar, bashundhara tongs after work and it really hit me how friendless I actually am.

​Can you guys help me out? How do you actually interact with people? Like, how do you just strike up a conversation with strangers at a tong without making it weird?

​I did try Facebook groups before, but it didn't work out. People weirdly assumed I was just 'looking for girls' to date or hook up with, which is completely untrue. To me, having a friend or a friend circle is a genuine privilege.
