- In this video, I go over my journey from being a Mechanical Engineering student in my undergrad to now being a full-time software engineer in the US - my thoughts on the journey, the lessons learned, and some words of encouragement if you are on that path of breaking into tech. I hope you find value in discovering mindsets you can inculcate while moving forward in your career.

As a person who just completed high school and was skeptical about pursuing Engineering this video is really inspiring!, thank you and good luck :)
I am glad you got value out of this video. Subscribe for more such content on topics around Science, Engineering and AI. And all the best with whatever it is that you choose to pursue!
Finally found a genuine video on career transition. I am also switching from architecture to software engineering. The tips you provided are so valuable for someone like me. Kudos 😊
I'm delighted to hear that you found this valuable! All the best in your journey and welcome to the community.
I truly resonate with you with me being an Petroleum Engg doing a full time job in a core field. But as the time passes, I think I am a much good coder than I am a Petroleum Engg. Yup, I started to learn to code. Just had a question in mind, for how long you are allowed to work in the US after your master's? Does the timeline holds true if you started working for a company there?
Currently pivoting from medicine to software engineering. Wish me luck!
As a beginner, maintaining the belief that the solution exists there somewhere will propel you forward on your journey. Wishing you all the best!
I am a bsc chemistry graduate. I am interested in tech jobs. Is it possible to switch from plain bsc to tech if i put efforts in coding ?
Absolutely, breaking into the tech industry is feasible! However, it's important to recognize that your B.Sc. degree alone may not be the key to opening those doors. Many individuals mistakenly assume that their existing degrees will seamlessly transition them into tech roles, but the reality is often more challenging. What's truly essential is a basic understanding of fundamental math concepts; from there, it's all about dedicating yourself to coding and continuous practice. As highlighted in the video, success in tech requires a combination of effective strategies and disciplined practice.
Hi , I completed my mechanical engineer learnt few basic of java and joined service based company in jan 2022 , after 2 years of working as test in engineer doing manual testing , i was terminated from company last month . now i started learning DSA and algorithm , give me some idea how to prepare and what to learn to get into good product based company
A full length video dedicated to this topic is coming soon :)
Till then, you can take inspiration from this tweet thread that I wrote about learning to code and getting a job in software development: twitter.com/anudeep_2806/status/1595080706077728776
Furthermore, follow @NeetCode if you want to learn DSA and Algorithmic style problem solving.
Is doing PG in computer science is best or taking some course and learning coding is best to become a good software developer?
If you want to do a PG or not depends on your goal.
Even in top schools, learning happens via self - study. Hence, if your goal is to become a good software developer, there are SO MANY free and paid (but cheap) BUT excellent online resources that you can access - to learn and practice coding. Some of the paid ones/paid online specializations/bootcamps can also make you job ready and help you get a job.
But having a full-fledged degree does give you an edge: recruiters and hiring managers do look at formal education. But again, more than that, they look at your skills, knowledge, projects and experience. And this dependence on degree to get a job is getting lesser as we go forward.
Hope this helps :)
@@anudeepsharma. Thank you . please make some further vedioes about DSA or development better to get high paying jobs
