    00:01 My journey into software engineering
    01:41 From childhood, I aspired to be a computer engineer like my dad
    03:18 Realized the potential in competitive programming to excel academically and professionally.
    05:02 Realized my potential beyond academic percentage
    06:43 Degrees and marks don't limit opportunities in software engineering
    08:23 Software engineering is open to all with the right skills
    09:59 Continuous improvement in software engineering leads to achieving career aspirations.
    11:40 Competitive programming is not necessary for becoming a software engineer

    A very nice video. Good luck. What you said is completely true - can vouch as a metallurgist in software engineering since the past 30 years. When I wanted to change, many said it was impossible but I found a lot more saying - Go for it. I made it and never looked back. It's not that I didn't like metallurgy but I liked creating iteratively and that's why I jumped ship.

    How do I become a software engineer?
    I joined instragram a few days ago. I want to become a professional software engineer. But I don't know where to start. And if you learn how, you will be able to bring ownership very easily. And if you want to work in these companies such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, etc., how should you build yourself? I can easily become a professional software engineer if I learn any language.
    But many say that everything can be done if you learn Java script. I would like to know how reasonable this statement is.
    I want a good guideline for this question. Because I am very new in programming world.

    • @Apurvavrupa
      @Apurvavrupa  Před rokem +2

      You need to start solving data structure and algorithm problems and get better at it. Coding language doesn't matter. It could be any coding language as long as you know how to solve algorithmic problems using the language in a real interview.
