Too many Indian studying it lmaooooo
yeah
Totally agree with the points in the video! It would be cool to see a series where you or a friend of yours apply to SWE jobs in the current market and document your experiences and follow the tips you preach.
This is exactly what I needed to hear today. Thanks man!
Thank you so much for this bro! That's so helpful. Keep releasing awesome content. love from turkey!
unfortunately based
It's really silly. He says he was referred by a friend. It's not like he cold applied. His offer got rescinded. If he didn't have a friend he'd be SOL.
Thank you so much bhaiya, this was quite insightful!
fire video, love the advice!
your videos/advice is great honestly really appreciate it, just had a request, i'm an 18 year old who's always been interested in tech and used to f around with codebases on github, fork and make improvements, all since 13, i got into web dev like 2 -3 years ago and i am a decent fullstack dev right now, working on some paid internships and i got a remote job too, i am active on tech twitter and connecting, maintaining my github too while upping my skills, but i'm a finance student (UG) rn, what would be your advice for the self taught route for SWEs or those who're from a non CS bg, i'm always feeling the fomo even though i am learning those foundation concepts while juggling it with my internships/jobs
Don't agree with everything in this video. You shouldn't want an internship just to "make your friends jealous" and you shouldn't feel like shit just because you got an internship at a non FANG company and your friends did. Nothing wrong with getting inspired by others but you should not look down on yourself.
do a video about what to do if you graduate college without any internship and nothing to put on your resume. everyone says to do projects, but thats outdated and what matters most these days is verifiable/relevant work experience
@@FeverYonge did i say i knew what to do? i asked the question because i dont know what to do. how do you get real experience when the only way to get real experience requires you to have real experience?
Its high bar
@@ragacola apply to jobs and internships. see what opportunities you are able to get. if all you get is an unpaid internship, then consider it an extension of your education, and use it to gain experience
@@ragacola here are some ways you can get real experience:
1. apply to be a teaching assistant.
2. look for non technical people that are starting a business that need a programmer. offer to join in exchange for equity and a title.
3. contribute to open source software.
4. start your own registered business, and build a product to sell. be the CTO and CEO of your own comapny.
5. do freelance work
In what world is doing projects outdated? Your projects are your experience. They tell people that you're worth a damn and that you have some inkling that you're intelligent and know what you're doing. Then they might give you a chance, and then you get work experience.
You’re here for us at the right time
Uhhhh, this is 25% true lol. Seems this uploader needs to take some accounting classes. Businesses trimmed down because they no longer needs as many SWE/programmers. They are only retaining or hiring those with experience in specific tech stacks or those who are exceptionally talented or skilled. Otherwise, networking is your best asset. Even with that, it's all about demand. SWE and all IT in general is a cost center, you must all remember that.
exactly his point. the market changed. its not bad. SWEs have to adapt and upskill to stay useful.
@user-hj2ge8ph7q my point is, you can adapt and unskilled, but your adaption needs to be that of everyone else: your market is no longer hot because the infrastructure has now been built, there is very little blue ocean in the space, so businesses adjusted to only gore west they absolutely need, meaning less positions being filled and at lower average salaries. Welcome to the regular economy.
ive done 200 lc & reviewed i150 twice and im still finding some oas like snowflakes p difficult. how much more i gotta grind lc for top tech companies
Can undergraduate students in computer science major can get and do internships in USA or Canada or India ?
As a hs student i just wanna say keep posting these bro. Motivates me to keep working, I have a internship similar to yours right now when you were in hs 😂
So its just still hiring the same rate, but more competitive. Gotcha
Brother, please tell me if I need to be an expert in tech and am mainly interested in cybersecurity, AI, and robotics, what major should I choose? My plan is to get a bachelor's degree in CS and a master's degree in AI, robotics, and cybersecurity. I am planning to get a dual MS. Is this a good choice? My passion since my teens has been to start a tech startup like Google or Meta. I just turned twenty on June 2nd. So, please guide me because I am in a big confusion about picking the best undergraduate degree for my passion and dream. Please help me, and whoever reads this comment, please share your personal thoughts. It would be a life-changing reply and help. Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure how much have a double major of the same degree with different specialties matters (if that's what your implying) but you need to pick something you find interesting while also planning for the future. If all 3 of those are your interests then that is good because you have 3 options to pick from that you will enjoy learning about. Moreover, just because you are interested in something doesn't mean it needs to become your career you can still learn about it/build in your free time. If your dream is to create your own company you can still do that there's nothing holding you back from it. If you have a good startup idea and experience programming that is what matters for creating a company. However, if you know more about one topic, for example AI, you would have an easier time basing your startup around such topic. And remember a degree is not experience, it is education.
