in a way if they like you as a person in the company there is a chance u get hired even if you are not the best at coding?

Yeah I feel like nordstrom was really trying to scale online and hire software engineers so it was def a lot easier

appreciate it man! thanks!

For sure! is there anything specific that you wanted to hear about?

​@@CodeRay basically just tips on actually getting proficient at coding rather than just learning and knowing how to code. How do we get started on our first project? I'm a beginner learning how to code so my questions are rather broad. :)

haha yeah its definitely way harder nowadays unfortunately especially for new grads :( but I have a few friends who just graduated and were able to find jobs without that much difficulty so I still believe its possible!

@@CodeRay its definitely still possible lmao people just wanna complain. Just do leetcode and you'll eventually find something

That might be true but I dont think that continuously learning is a bad thing :)

@@CodeRay I appreciate your answer who compared to some who would not even bother take a look at their comment section but i personally believe that continuous learning is a major point and can even be a deal breaker for some, let's not also forget that ais will undoubtedly play a big role in coding 10 years from now which may lead to the downfall of engineers who are overwhelmed by how much technology advances and the ais who are much more effective for companies in term of quality, speed and cost. I absolutely like computer science and i dream to do a lot of things with it but the reason push me to go to the other side of the spectrum

@@samysrifi i see what your saying but isnt that also the same way in which AI machines can replace doctors in better diagnosing patients and administering ver simple procedures?

@@CodeRay Some will get replaced for sure such as radiologist but for the rest i don't see any big changes aside from the help that ai will provide in their careers and complex work such as surgeons are nearly impossible to replace by taking a look on the actual technology. It may change if humanity continues this way but this doesn't concern my generation while software engineers already are getting worried on their jobs after new ai releases such as devin ai, it just is not futur proof from my point of view

good question! i left premed because 1. I couldn't afford the huge debt that comes from med school, 2. I did not want to waste my 20s studying/grinding school and 3. I wasn't passionate about it. If you do it for the money, go into tech :)

@@CodeRay alright thanks so much i’m trying to find my passion right now, im taking ap bio and apcsa next year ans trying to explore sum more

@@minty380 proud of you! You got this, it takes time :)

@@CodeRayhow old are you rn? And what did you get your degree in?

@@youngtidepod3507 in my twenties and i did cs and finance

THANKS haha its quite competitive rn I feel just because everyone wants to get a job in NYC :(

SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT BILLY HAHA YOU GOT THIS!

I think taxes and deductions in NYC is almost 50% :(

​@@CodeRay Fun fact: if you were in the HQ in the bay area, the after tax pay is pretty much the same (NYC is higher by 2-3k difference after taxes). Both places effectively tax at ~39% for 280k income. Since stocks / bonus make up a significant portion of your income, your actual paychecks will be roughly 9k / month.

@@MatthewHo376 dam thats rough :( nyc rent also pretty high rn, bay area might be a better option

If money was the only factor maybe. But at this income, I’d prioritize living in the more fun city 😂

@@MatthewHo376 yoo facts nyc is so fun

use adobe enhance - it's free for the first 30 minutes

<3 u bb

Yeah! You totally could try some stuff with coding jobs but being a physics phd researcher is super dope and can provide more fulfillment!

Lol like whatt

There’s nothing wrong with how he talks?? People so rude :0

ccp spy maybe😂

@@abdelrahmansaid844 not cool bri

like a wanker?? yah pretty annoying

Truee just giving a whole perspective!
