Hi everyone!
I've been offered a job at Publicis Sapient as a front-end developer (React Js).
What kind of work culture, work load and tech stack exposure should I be expecting?
I'm having 1 year experience.
I've also got offers from IndiaMART InterMESH Limited, Amdocs, Verizon and Collegedunia.
All for the role of front-end web developer.
I'm very confused between all of them.

It’s great for cleaning up meeting notes
that's very true, I've use it a lot on this
Lol at this boomer. Literally chatgpt makes my job 20x more efficient. Definitely explains things better than trash seniors or managers
yeah for those that don't use AI, they literally have to work harder and more
Yes and no. ChatGPT and other AI tools are definitely a production booster if used properly. The new generation that uses AI correctly will surpass us and prev generations if we don’t start learning the same tools.
I hired an analyst last year and while he knows maybe 1/20th of the fundamentals/skills I know (maybe less), he’s still somewhat able to keep up with my requests and new assignments I give him fairly easily.
He also asks questions to become more knowledgeable, so he isn’t entirely relying on technology, and I don’t see a problem with that. He’s proficient enough with Excel and can go without using AI too, but why have him do the latter if I know it makes him more productive?
Exactly!
Work smarter not harder
work smarter and harder!
People said the same when the internet came out.
Times change.
keeping up with change will be important
DeepSeek is great!
I think the AI hype is so pervasive that a lot of people coming along really think it's the standard way to do things. It's a little scary because while AI can be useful for brainstorming, or to function as an augmented help file, it can also be wrong about things. "ChatGPT said so" is becoming the new "it must be true, I read it on the internet."
Definitely can't be the only source to rely on
I work with somebody that is a level up from me, and 90% of their responses to questions are ask chatgpt. Which I am a firm believer in trying to find the answer for yourself first, but am starting to question their knowledge/leadership when that is constantly the answer to most questions.
There are very high level leaders in my company that does this lol
Kids 🤦♂️
Their first attempt takes ages even after I bug them and the result is a good 25% as good as ChatGPT. So out of frustration and speed. Better to just start with it and go from there. If I had all the time in the world, sure do the first option.
I’ve gotten a lot of time back thanks to the LLM.
Well at my firm they hold meetings to push us to use ChatPwC more lol
I fully agree with OP. I use Chat GPT on almost a daily basis for work, but I've also been doing this for 20+ years so I know when chat GPT is feeding me nonsense, or giving me something useful. It's important to truly understand the fundamentals of work before you start to fully rely on AI to do the work for you. I think individuals that have grown up with instant access to information haven't learned to question the information they receive or learned to connect disparate ideas. AI is a phenomenal tool that will be useful far beyond what we can predict today, but it's still not an end all be all. Not yet at least.
I can’t help but notice how quiet this bowl got since ChatGPT took hold.
It’s a productivity tool. Why do so many people who don’t use it/don’t know how to use it assume that everyone who uses it relies solely upon ChatGPT for everything and doesn’t know the fundamentals? Both can be true.
I'm sure there were people who said somethin similar after calculators and computers were invented.
There is no more time to learn the fundamentals. Those days are long gone. It’s time to get in line, get with the program, and bow down to the algorithm entities.
