Get Million-Dollar Weekend (best book on starting a business) and tons of incredible software deals like TidyCal and SendFox on AppSumo: appsumo.8odi.net/nLKWa9

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.

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 everyone says to do projects, but thats outdated and what matters most these days is verifiable/relevant work experience

@@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In what world is doing projects outdated?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.

I agree I made some mistakes such as not grinding leetcode until my senior year. But I’m >1000 applications in and done about 10 interviews. Got ghosted every time despite performing well and being told in an email they are still figuring certain things out. I get rejected hours after applying and ever get anyway. It’s really depressing. I start my 2nd degree in electrical engineering next month, fully funded by my current employer!! Computer science jobs for entry level engineers are gone and never coming back

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.

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.

Lol, this guys talking about getting unpaid roles and interning as a high schooler to have a chance and still wants to say its not the job market thats bad. Sure with saturation comes lots of lacking talent but having to do these things has never been necessary for even the most prestigious jobs

@SebaCape55 8 күн бұрын

Garbage or not the job market will always be able to provide for people who have great talent and skill sets. The primary point he pushes is to not use it's perceived "unfairness" as a cushion if you encounter failure, because that ultimately causes you to become complacent for mediocrity when you should always be trying to excel.

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
