[@SparksThemes]

Can you please answer my question. I have done BBA but since last 3 years I am working remotely as a frontend engineer but my salary is comparatively low with others who's working with me may be because I don't have cs degree. I want to move from IT to product management but I lived in small city due to some personal reasons can't move to the smart City So can I get Remote job in product development as a fresher. Please answer my question if you can Thanks

[@Kalyanigoud90]

Same here

[@SudiptoSarkar-mh5vy]

Dada,I am getting ju cse and iitkgp electrical (dual). will it be a right decision to go for iit?I have heard that iit kgp electrical is outdated.The ECE department is more advanced.What should I do?

[@GeekyBaller]

Curriculum hardly matters here. The valuable network you'd get as well as the opportunity to sit in any company that comes in campus (Circuital), makes EE a great choice. But yeah, it's definitely challenging and there has been measures to improve its curriculum.

[@SudiptoSarkar-mh5vy]

@@GeekyBaller thanks for your valuable suggestion. Now I am feeling confident about going to iitkgp.

[@lightbeing26]

Do you know anything about "Internshala Product Management guaranteed placement course"? I don't if it is worth it or not. Course complete hone ke baad agar job nai mile toh they have money back policy but what if I get scammed? Can anyone help me with this?
