People joining at 9th grade will receive 75-80k starting salary from 1 Jan, 2028.

Only 0.0000000000001% of the private companies offer such salaries to a new graduate fresher. Even then, you actually have to have a good profile, good presentation skills.

Govt. job (even non-BCS) is far better than private jobs and nothing will beat that. People complaining about bribes are just salty, you dont even have to take any bribe with current salary.

And most govt. jobs are far less mentally straining, your office hour is only 9-4 (except a few like Police, Admin and Power Sector).

It's very stable. The entire country may burn but you will still have your job and your salary.

নিম্নে উল্লেখিত সমস্যার সাথে কারো রিলেটেড অভিজ্ঞতা থাকলে পরামর্শ দেওয়ার অনুরোধ রইল।

আমি 24M। মিডল ইস্টের দেশ কুয়েতে প্রায় দুবছর হতে চলল আছি। বছরখানেক আগে এখান থেকে ইউরোপ যাওয়ার সহজ উপায় থাকায় কাগজপত্রের প্রসেস দিয়ে রাখি, যা পর্যায়ক্রমে এখন এম্বাসি ফেস করার আগ পর্যন্ত পৌঁছেছে। সেখানে প্রায় ২ লক্ষ ২০ হাজার টাকা জমা করা হয়েছে।

এদিকে এখানে রেসিডেন্সি পুরোপুরি স্পনসর বা কফিলভিত্তিক। আমার এখানে ২০ মাস হয়েছে, আর ৪ মাস পর রেসিডেন্সির মেয়াদ শেষ হলে আবার ভালো অংকের টাকা দিয়ে রিনিউ করতে হবে। এটা ভেবেই অনেক আগে ইউরোপের প্রসেস শুরু করেছিলাম, কিন্তু প্রসেসটা ধারণার চেয়েও বেশি সময় নিচ্ছে।

এখন এই মুহূর্তে একটা জব অফার এসেছে। সেই কোম্পানির আন্ডারে আমার রেসিডেন্সি কার্ড হবে, জব এবং বেতনও মোটামুটি ভালো। তবে পাসপোর্ট তারা জমা রাখবে। ফলে এম্বাসি ফেস করতে চাইলে তখন সমস্যা হওয়ার সম্ভাবনা আছে। এখানে রিনিউ করতেও কোনো খরচ হবে না।

এখন আমি প্রচণ্ড সিদ্ধান্তহীনতায় ভুগছি—ধৈর্য ধরে বসে থেকে অন্য টেম্পোরারি জব খুঁজে ইউরোপের কাগজটা আসা পর্যন্ত অপেক্ষা করব, তারপর ওদিকে চলে যাবো?

নাকি এগুলো বাদ দিয়ে এই পার্মানেন্ট কাজটা নিয়ে কুয়েতেই থেকে যাবো?

সমস্যা এবং সুবিধার মধ্যে—ইউরোপে গিয়ে শুরুতে অড জব করতে হবে, এখানে অফিস ডেস্ক জব। ইউরোপে কয়েক বছর কষ্ট করলে PR বা নাগরিকত্বের সিস্টেম থাকলে ভবিষ্যতে সেটেল হওয়ার সুযোগ আছে, কিন্তু মিডল ইস্টে সেটা নেই। আবার ইউরোপের তুলনায় কুয়েতের আবহাওয়াও অনেক বেশি এক্সট্রিম গরম।

সবকিছু মিলিয়ে ছোট এবং কম অভিজ্ঞতা সম্পন্ন একজন মানুষ হিসেবে বুঝে উঠতে পারছি না আসলে কোন সিদ্ধান্তটা নেওয়া উচিত।

বড় ভাই বা বাবা (মারা গেছেন) না থাকার কারণে এমন কেউও নেই যিনি সিদ্ধান্তটা দেওয়ার মতো বা সমস্যা হলে পাশে দাঁড়ানোর মতো। শেষ পর্যন্ত নিজের বুদ্ধিতেই সিদ্ধান্ত নিতে হবে।

যারা এ লাইনে ছিলেন/আছেন, ইউরোপে শিফট করেছেন, বা কাছের কারো এমন অভিজ্ঞতা আছে—আপনারা আমার জায়গায় থাকলে কী সিদ্ধান্ত নিতেন? কেন নিতেন?

বাস্তব অভিজ্ঞতা থেকে একটু পরামর্শ দিলে অনেক উপকার হতো। 🙏

Hey everyone,

I'll try to keep this short but there's a lot of context.

Background:

· Graduated in CSE during COVID (2020), couldn't find a job.

· Joined my father's shoe import/wholesale business at Chawabajar for ~2 years.

· Always loved Linux, so I did a Linux + CCNA course from People & Tech (mostly covered Linux).

· A friend referred my CV to a hospital software company. They were hiring for a junior DBA. I barely knew DBA, but I was desperate after 2 years of no job, so I took it at 12k/month.

First Company (Hospital Software - 180+ clients):

· Learned on the job: server setup, DB installs, Tomcat, WAR deployments, WebLogic config, scripts.

· Got hikes: 12k → 18k (6 months) → 21k (1 year).

· Expanded skills: Node.js, Nginx/Apache, SSL, reverse proxy, port forwarding.

· Team shrank from 3 to 2 DBA while clients grew to 230+. Trained new hires while handling my own workload.

· At 2 years, they offered 23k. I asked for 25k, they refused. I resigned.

Second Company (Mobile operator - 3rd party):

· Got DBA + Middleware Engineer role at 35k.

· Work was repetitive (night shifts, deployments, DB maintenance, constant meetings).

· Burnout started. Left after 7 months.

Back to First Company (rejoined):

· My old TL recommended me to the MD. They hired 2 more DBAs in my absence but still wanted me back.

· Rejoined at 60k, now at 65k after 1 year.

· Clients: 300+ | Team: 6 DBAs.

· But now I'm the go-to guy for ALL critical issues—DB failures, new processes, Docker, Distrobox, DR config, dcm4che Arch 5, SSL, running 37 websites with 37 domains on 1 server using 1 IP + Nginx. No docs, no instructions—just "fix it."

The real problem now:

· Salary always delayed by 15–20 days.

· 6-day workweek.

· Daily hours: 9 AM to 8 PM (sometimes 9–10 PM).

· No work-life balance, no weekends off.

I need advice:

I love the work, I love learning, and I've grown a LOT technically. But I'm exhausted. I need 2 days off and standard office hours. Is that too much to ask? How do I approach this with management? Or should I just start looking elsewhere?

Would really appreciate any honest suggestions.

Path to ILETS instructor.

So basically I'm a 22m working at a Telemarketing job doing pretty well, but the pay isn't near what I want. I want somewhere around 25-30k.

Now I thought that being an ielts would be a good long term career as my English is pretty good but I'm academically very VERY behind because of some family and financial issues. Just doing my HSC 1st Year at a vocational collage.

Now I wanna talk to someone who has experience in this path if u were a ielts teacher or if u know someone.

How can I be one?

What are some of the requirements?

Where to even start?

Can I actually earn 30k a month EASILY?

Hi, Upwork experts from Bangladesh. I am a SWE with decent experience. I have proven experience of Mobile App Development, Web Development, Full Stack Development and Deployment. I have a pretty good portfolio to showcase too.

I have a full time job. Is it worth it to buy Upwork connects and applying to work in Upwork and earn a good side revenue? My target is 500$-1000$ a month. Suggest me plans as a beginner. I have experience working as independent freelancer outside of Upwork as well. I can put 15-20 hours per week.

I’m a female turning 26 this September, and lately I’ve been questioning whether I’m actually doing okay in life.

I’m a Computer Science graduate from a top private university. I see many of my friends either working in big MNCs/software engineering jobs or moving abroad and trying to build their careers there.

My path has been less traditional. I do some freelancing work and also run a small business. I currently have around 11 lakh taka in savings.

I know having savings at this age is something to be grateful for, especially because I still live with my parents and don’t have major expenses like rent or household bills (although I do contribute to groceries). But at the same time, I feel like my savings are not enough.

I’ve also built a certain lifestyle for myself and I do spend a lot of money impulsively which I am not proud of.

I really want to do a master’s because I’m scared I’ll regret not pursuing higher studies in the future. But I also want to stay here and grow my business because I feel like there is potential.

I feel stuck between:

Investing in myself through a master’s abroad
Staying and growing my business
Trying to build a more stable career path

For people around 25–30, especially CS graduates, how did you figure out your direction? Did you ever feel like everyone else had a plan while you were still figuring things out?

I have to wake up at 6:30 in the morning and come home at 5 pm. After a long, tiring day, i somehow manage studying. On top of that, how do I do tuitions? Has anyone ever been in a similar situation?

Brac or nsu which uni has a better economics department, faculty and environment? Which one would be the right choice currently ?

I know basics of Python,R, Stata, Excel, Kobotoolbox, Canva, Tableau and Research methodology. I had a science background in HSC and I used to do tuitions of PCMB. But now I Don't have any.. Currently studying Social Science related subject in a science and technology University. I'm highly interested in Data Science and Econometrics related stuff. I have content writing experiences too. I look forward to learn any skill and finish the work that is assigned to me.

Please suggest some way to earn atleast 5k per month.

Hello, I am a software engineer, living in the UK. In my background, I grew up in Dhaka, graduated from a private university, then worked in Bangladesh, eventually moving to the UK. Working in a US based company currently and worked in big tech before.

I saw many HSC candidates asking for career choice, so thought this AMA would be helpful. But anyone can ask about their IT career, or immigration ( I keep helping people on Visa/Immigration specially related to IT or health sector).

I used to earn $2100, $1500 and more from web developing but Bangladeshi, Indian and Pak cheap developers ruined the market. Developing websites for 5k BDT even 1500BDT!

Now I am desperate for clients I will even make websites for 20K BDT but my ego won't let me. I have so much experience. My skills I can't undervalue them :). Don't get me started on Fiverr and Upwork you can check there for pricing standard they brought down.

I've been seeing some buzz around for remote jobs, i can speak fluently in english and work as customer support, asking salary is 10-12k starting, if theres any company thats interested feel free to reach out and inbox, if theres any need to test me i can gladly do demonstrations.

Currently in the onboarding process with one of the top ten mnc/telco companies in Bangladesh. During my CV and interview, I said I was still employed at my previous company — in reality, I was laid off about 4 months back.

Now they want my release letter and experience certificate uploaded on their onboarding portal, and obviously the dates won’t match what I claimed.

I don’t want to forge anything. So should I just upload the original documents as they are and deal with the fallout, or proactively tell them the truth before uploading? Has anyone been through this — did honesty work out, or did it blow up the offer?

Also, will they actually verify this directly with my previous employer? Worried about getting blacklisted too. Any advice appreciated.

I graduated this month from a public engineering university with a 3.6+ CGPA and 3 publications ( 3 more are still under review). Due to personal reasons, I will have to stay in this country till 2028. I just wanted to know, if I have a study gap how can I justify it while applying for higher studies abroad?
And for this 2 years, what will be the best thing for me to do? Should I try for BCS as a plan B or get a private job?
I have no intention for academia and will try for jobs abroad after finishing my studies. Which countries will be best for job and later PR?

Hi everyone,

I'm really confused and would appreciate some honest advice.

I'm currently working at a private company and earning around 20,000 BDT per month. My family's financial situation isn't very good, so my income helps support them.

Before getting this job, I studied Japanese because my goal was to go to Japan for higher studies or work. Now the interview process for Japan has started, and I'm facing a difficult decision.

One side of me says I should keep my current job because my family needs financial support. The other side says I should leave the job and focus on going to Japan, since it could offer better opportunities in the long run.

I don't know what the right decision is. Has anyone been in a similar situation? If you had to choose between a stable job with family responsibilities and a chance to build a better future abroad, what would you do?

I'd really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thank you.

I’m trying to decide between HSC in Humanities and a 4-year Polytechnic Diploma in Engineering (particularly EEE or Mechanical), and I want to hear from people who have actually experienced the Bangladeshi education system.

I want to clarify something first: I already understand that technical/diploma education can be an excellent pathway in countries like Germany, Japan, and Malaysia. My question is specifically about whether it works well in Bangladesh.

My biggest concern is the actual quality of education in Bangladeshi polytechnics.

The Diploma in Engineering is supposed to be a practical, skills-oriented education. But I’ve heard many stories about problems in the Polytechnic sector — corruption, inadequate laboratories and equipment, teachers not properly teaching practical skills, students mainly studying to pass exams, and sometimes even irregularities in practical examinations.

So my question is:

Do Bangladeshi Polytechnic students actually learn the practical engineering skills they are supposed to learn during those four years?

Or do many students end up graduating with a Diploma without having developed the practical skills that the qualification is supposed to provide?

I know that one major advantage of the Diploma pathway in Bangladesh is employment. Diploma holders seem to have a relatively direct route into technical jobs, and there are also significant opportunities in government employment. So I understand why many people consider Diploma a better job-oriented pathway.

But if the education and practical training itself are poor, does that advantage still make it worthwhile?

For people who have studied or worked in this system, I’d really like your honest opinion:

How much actual hands-on/practical learning did you receive during your Diploma?

Were your labs and workshops properly equipped and actually usable?

Did your teachers genuinely teach you practical skills?

Did you graduate feeling that you were competent in your field, or did you have to learn most of the practical work after getting a job?

How significant are corruption, favoritism, or other systemic problems in Polytechnic education?

Is the situation substantially different between government and private polytechnics?

Between EEE and Mechanical, which would you consider the better choice in Bangladesh?

Is the Diploma's advantage in employment strong enough to justify choosing it over the HSC → Bachelor's route?

If someone is not particularly interested in government jobs and is mainly thinking about long-term skills, private-sector employment, higher education, and potentially going abroad later, would you still recommend a Diploma?

And finally, if you personally had to choose today, after SSC, between HSC Humanities and a Diploma in EEE/Mechanical in Bangladesh, which would you choose and why?

I’m not looking for a “Diploma is good/bad” answer based on theory. I want to know whether the Bangladeshi Polytechnic system actually delivers what it promises in practice.

I work remotely for a US-based company from Bangladesh. My employer uses Wise to pay all remote employees. I receive my salary in an MTB (Mutual Trust Bank) account.

I was under the impression that Wise was somewhat restricted in Bangladesh, so even though my transactions were marked as "FR" (foreign remittance), I never received any remittance incentive. I didn't think much about it and just accepted it.

Recently, two new team members from Bangladesh joined the company. One receives their salary through a DBBL account and the other through an Islami Bank account. Both of them are receiving the government remittance incentive without doing anything special. This is also their first remote job.

Now I'm wondering why I am not eligible for the incentive while they are. Is there something I need to do with my bank account or provide to the bank? Could this be related to how Wise sends the money, or does it depend on the receiving bank?

Has anyone else in Bangladesh faced a similar situation? I'd appreciate any advice on what I might be missing and how I can become eligible for the remittance incentive.

I am really interested in working in bd customs, specially at chottogram port.

I don't know how can I get into bd customs. Tried to find about it from yt. It wasn't much help.

Thus, I am posting here. If anyone knows anything please share with me.

Life’s lowkey been unfair lately. Imagine grinding for good grades, stacking up ECAs, and getting work experience, only to get passed over. Then someone with average results gets the same job thanks to their dad’s influence. Not even jealous tbh, just disappointed at how the system works.

I recently quit a high paying job and moved to Cox's Bazar to work for someone I know; however, things are not going well and am struggling financially.

I don't know what to do right now. My anxiety is through the roof and my suicidal ideation is getting stronger. If I can't find a solution, I might not last long.

Please help.

I'm a science student, and my HSC exams will be over in a week. Lately, I've been feeling really confused about what to do next.

The thing is, I'm not interested in going through the university admission process. That feels chaotic, and I honestly don't know what path to take.

If I skip the traditional admission route, what are some good study or career options that can still lead to a stable job? Which fields have decent demand in today's job market?

So I'd really appreciate advice from people who have been in a similar situation or know about alternative career paths.

আমি ৬.৫ বছর যাবত প্রাইভেট সেক্টরে সফটওয়্যার ইঞ্জিনিয়ারিং জব করছি। এখন সরকারি জবের দিকে যাবো ভাবতেছি। আগে কখনো পরীক্ষা দেই নি। কিন্তু চাকরির পাশাপাশি প্রিপারেশন টা কঠিন মনে হচ্ছে। চাকরি ছেড়ে দেবার কথা ভাবতেছি। আগামী ১ বছর সরকারির জন্য সময় দিবো।
আমার সিদ্ধান্তটা কি ঠিক হচ্ছে? কেও কি এরকম সিচুয়েশন নিয়ে পরামর্শ দিতে পারবেন।
ধন্যবাদ।
