"It's not the college that helps; it's the people around you" Felt this many times and hearing it from experienced iitian

[@Mr.VAGlNA]

You could join a bootcamp if you want guidance and environment.

[@advaithhegde5553]

1)Contribute to open source. 2)Develop a good Side project

[@shitoshitt]

First ever IITian saying that IIT isn't important! Respect.

[@user-dx2tb6zt1c]

Nah! Most of them says that after some years of graduation.

[@Brodragon2225]

Because they realise it iit can only give safe jobs but not highest paying job

[@Yesterday_i_ate_rat]

Great video! It's inspiring to see that you don't necessarily need a formal degree to succeed in the IT industry. Your tips and advice on how to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to secure a high-paying job are valuable and truly enlightening. Thank you for sharing !

[@dasarimanoj3086]

Yes Harikirat make some content on open source on how to begin and clarify some doubts like do we have to learn the whole tech stack before jumping into it such things like that. Always love your content. Looking forward to it

[@javedkumail2781]

one word : JUST UNDERRATED..!! to the point BEST part about you : you teach hands on to, this way you contribute, and others are always like u should contribute but not how would approach or to begin with we would LOVE if you bring out more videos related to open source contributions and DEEP DIVE into :- selecting organizations :- to actually contributing to :- finding issues :- approach to deal with the different issues :- also dealing with new tech stacks within organization ps:- sorry for spamming

[@Seeker_of_F1r3]

Thanks for the informative video! Its heartening to see barriers are being broken down regarding prestige / pedigree of colleges. Two questions though: 1.If where you get your degree is not as important these days, then is it OK if you don't have a CS-related degree at all but have the experience/skills through stuff like FOSS contributions and competitions as you said? 2.Could you give us a roadmap to utilizing online resources with the intention of eventually becoming a developer? Thanks and have a great weekend!

For backend devs how much frontend needed to create such first project. Same for frontend also. How to learn about deployment. How to learn different types of software other than web

[@cuteminired6550]

Apart from the content, love the highlighted quote

[@oofydoofy]

There is no one without a degree that has ever gotten a job at FAANG in India as a fresher. They have straightaway listed a bachelor's degree as a requirement. Forget a degree, you need a tier 1 degree to get in as a fresher.

[@MP-eq8fx]

He didn't mention FAANG, at least in title. He just says "high paying".

[@oofydoofy]

@@MP-eq8fx The thumbnail screams "FAANG without degree"

[@silentbang7193]

Many tier-3 people have gotten into faang , just search and you will find whole channels based on interviewing this tier-3 people , what on you about?

@@silentbang7193 Read what I wrote and then comment. Ik many have gotten into FAANG from tier 3. I mentioned explicitly about getting into *FAANG* as a *FRESHER* with *NO DEGREE*.

[@Mr.VAGlNA]

​@@oofydoofy because Indian kids run after degrees but it's not a criteria since software development is not actually "Engineering". Engineering is just core branches like civil, mechanical.

Can you make videos on finding big and impactful open source work ? I have made multiple bug fixes and feature improvements to many 10k+ star repos but I have no clue how to actually dive deep into a tech problem/major milestone and resolve it with the team members.. I try talking to community members but there seems to a high wall of entry to contribute to major milestones in the project's timeline.. and sometimes these major milestones are being worked on by actual employees lol ... I would love to do some major work on some impactful repo, as seeing your work in production used my many people is just the sweetest :) Any communities/project/repo you would suggest ? the one that come to mind are CNCF, Apache, rust/go based projects or some js full stack ecosystem projects etc etc.. would love a video on searching and analyzing open source projects!

If I have to specifically want to contribute into web dev how many projects should I start to contribute to initially in 3 months? 2) Should I contribute to few projects simultaneously or just contribute in 1 or two . 3) How and which opensource project I should select and on which basis I should select it. 4) how can I network while doing open source contribution.

[@bharatjeevan]

Embrace the uncertainty mate. Like many have said, this is a field where you're never not learning new things. You've got to keep learning the latest tech to stay ahead/ stand out. If shit hits the fan we've all got to adapt and pivot or we're all screwed. Someone once told me to always assess the credentials for your role in general ( so you're always up to date and ready for job hunts post lay off) and assess the market trends( as in what framework/ technology/ skill is in demand so you learn those )
