Associate Platform Engineer Devops Support salaries in India

I am a Software Engineer seeking an AI/ML Internship or Entry-Level AI Engineer position where I can learn, contribute, and grow my skills in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. My AI learning journey includes: • Completed the Deep Learning and Neural Networks course by Andrew Ng. • Studied the book "Understanding Deep Learning" (2023 edition). • Currently following Andrej Karpathy's "Neural Networks: Zero to Hero" series.

Would you quit a software engineer job that pays $250K in NY right out of college to go to law school?

As I continue my journey from IT support into software development, I’m curious to hear from experienced developers, hiring managers, and tech professionals. If you were starting over in 2026 and wanted to become a software developer, what skills would you focus on learning first?

I am a Sri Lankan developer with experience as an Intern Web Developer. I also have 2+ years of experience building software development on personal projects + web development as a freelancer. I have been self-studying in this field since around 2018. (I was at school back then..) Can I apply directly for Associate / Level 1 Software Engineer roles? Do I need to do an internship in Software Engineering again? What should I do to land a job as a Software Engineer?
