Hey guys, a couple of friends and I build https://pathfinder.fyi/ as a fun side project, it's a place where we can share our job experiences with each other and learn about each other's jobs. Looking for any kind of feedback! ❤️ Here's an example for Software engineering: https://pathfinder.fyi/career/So... The idea is that we don't know much about different career paths/specialties outside the ones we are exposed to (whether through family/friends, jobs, etc.), yet career decisions are life changing. All careers should be made fully transparent to us (Day to day life, interview process, what career in X actually means, etc.)! So we created a place where anyone can share their job experiences, so we can learn from each other's job experiences, and more about the careers we're interested in. 😁 Open to any feedback on how we can improve this! It's still very much in beta stage. 😓 But we're trying our best to bring transparency to career paths. We will be adding the following new features very soon: 1. Comments/Upvotes - so you can interact and ask questions (it's like reddit AMAs) to posters (working professionals in tech) 2. Personal Feed - You can see the newest posts from the careers of ur interest all in one place (e.g. Software Engineer, Machine learning engineer, etc.) 3. More Data Points for more accurate bar charts for less popular careers We are getting a lot of interest from other external forums (reddit, discord, etc), but we want to keep it a tight knit community. If you're interested in the vision we're building , here's the waitlist - https://pathfinder.fyi/#subscribe (cap at 500 atm). The reason we have a waitlist is because we're trying to keep it a tight knit community once we launch (overcrowding diminishes quality). Best, Ming
