When users click on this dowry calculator, they'll be asked about their details like age, salary, and the like. But, when they click "Calculate" the results don't show the dowry they are eligible for. 

Instead, it shows glaring statistics on dowry deaths! 

I think it's a very creative way to spread awareness. Great work! 👏

Career Advice

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to switch my career and would appreciate some advice on how to move forward. Here’s a bit about my situation:
I worked as an electrical technician from 2016 to 2020 but decided to quit and take a break. I’ve been unemployed for over 4 years.
In 2017, I enrolled in college to work toward my bachelors in electrical engineering, which took me six years to complete (graduated in 2023) because of backlogs. My CGPA is 5.6 out of 10.
In 2024, I decided to switch careers and took up a full-stack Java developer certification course (6 month course plus a 3 month unpaid internship from the same institute). I’m now feeling uncertain about how to approach the job market, especially with a career gap, my academic performance and age.

Given my background do you think anyone will hire me as a fresher in the tech industry?

Need Advice on Career change

Hi Everyone,

I am currently working as a QA Engineer (Automation + Manual), having a total of 3.6 yoe primarily in Oracle EBS.

Initially used to work with the UFT tool for the first 2 years, then switched to TOSCA for the past 1 year. When I used to work with UFT, I didn't get much of a chance to do hands-on at the code base level, so I'm not very confident with UFT. However, I am pretty confident with my TOSCA skills. I am looking for a job change.

How much should I target, my current CTC is 6.9LPA.

Please suggest..
