My Computer Science Degree in 15 Minutes

[@pugg3762]

Great Video, as a current Junior at the University of Minnesota, with a SWE internship inbound for Summer. This will be my 2nd internship, and my first in SWE. Getting started early is huge. But don’t be too discouraged, it’s still possible. This is an unforgiving industry after all. I really began grinding sophomore year. In my experience the most important things that got me my internships: - Make friends with academic and career forward mindsets. You’ll all learn so much from each other and be able to expedite your learning about classes, industry and career readiness. This helps you stay in the news about industry standards. - Update Resume Weekly - Apply Constantly - Student Orgs - Personal Projects

I played the game and won the game. It was a lot of fun. I loved working in corporations. I collected a lot of great friends along the way. Now, I am working remote projects out of my home office in semi-retirement. Yay!!!

I just started my freshman year at UW-Madison. Currently enrolled in CS300, can't express how useful your advice is for me. Thank you!

[@rameezrahaman3222]

Hey i noticed that you are already in UW Madison so I would like ask you the question and know your opinion on: I have an offer letter from UW Madison but i am confused on whether to got for it or not, i am thinking about Texas A&M (college station) and UW Madison. It would be great if you could give your opinion on that it would really help me choose..... (I am going for fall 2024)

[@Basil-the-Frog]

@@rameezrahaman3222 I see you did not get a response. I also went to UW-Madison for an MS degree in CS. I went there before Aman did. If you are getting a BS degree, the smaller school might be better because you will have better access to the professors at a smaller school. If you are getting an advanced degree (MS or PhD), then Madison is better, as it is one of the premier research schools in math, science, and engineering (software is math and engineering). When I was at UW, all MS graduate students received four years of support. It was not enough money for everyone, but it was much better than paying for everything. There is a new building going up in Madison for the new data science program. That will be interesting, so it might help you make a decision. As far as which classes are the most important, I'd say today those are going to be in these areas: 0. Programming. Pick a programming language that you will need to do everything else and get good at it. Python or C++, probably. also learn some low-level things when you can (see #3). 1. Statistics (machine learning is all statistics and #2 on this list.) 2. Databases. 3. Computer architecture (the low-level stuff). Taking a class in digital circuit design before this class might be useful so you know Boolean algebra and how the circuits work. The Boolean algebra is the most important here. 4. A class where you learn about Javascript, CSS, and the other low-level parts of web page design. This will be something that was not in the curriculum when I was there, so I can't help with it. I add this only because so much of the tech world creates web pages for small businesses. You might know all of this already, so it might be a moot point. 5. A class where you learn about cloud computing. That includes what virtualization is and how containers work to move software (servlets) around a worldwide computer network. This might mean taking a class in computer virtualization (one of my advisors wrote the textbook) and one in computer networking. It may also be combined into a single course now. These courses were advanced and separate when I was in school. Good luck! Todd B.

@Amanmanazir I am a fresher man CS at the university of Nigeria your videos gives me insight on how to walk my through CS thank you 😊

[@ogbound6246]

Good Video but some kids don’t have the opportunity to do an unpaid internship during summer or just work on leetcode because they have to pay for their school fees. Recognize your path and privilege and understand there isn’t one right way to obtain this goal.

Thanks for all the informative info Aman! I'm inspired by your journey and hope to replicate it in 2024 as someone who is on the infrastructure side in tech but wants to become a SWE.

[@adityagoyal9556]

Amazing and such pragmatic advice. CS sophomore at UW Madison here.

[@MrSuperatomicatom]

I really appreciate this video, I was already on the road to get an internship and this video just solidified it even more

[@groveavenue]

Thank you so much. I am 71. When I was a young man I was on my own and there was nobody like Aman Manazir to advise me. Precious years got wasted. The young uns of today are so lucky :)

[@siddarthseloth6250]

Please make more videos around CS for college students and for career, they're really informative and useful!

[@AmanManazir]

More coming soon!

[@kaichan5754]

good information ima study computer science as well

[@AmanManazir]

All the best!

This comment is really late, but it was great meeting you Aman! Happy to give a referral to TikTok anytime haha 🙏

[@Smittron]

Got to get through those general education requirements. At many schools they're 1/3 of what's needed to graduate. Use elective hours to go deeper into your chosen field.

[@I_am_nooh]

Hey Aman, I think the title is sorta misleading (not in a negative sense) and it would be way better if it reflected the amazing advices you gave.

[@emzywillrich7243]

Begin with the end in mind is how you should approach your job. Monitor them closely and read their annual reports. You'll know when to bounce!

[@deving7710]

As a junior who just got their first internship this year, I wish I was more proactive as a freshman and sophomore to better prepare myself lol. I grinded last summer doing a lot of tech industry programs, so I think that helped. I'm also hoping that I do well enough in my internship to get a new grad rto (fingers crossed)

[@volarex5311]

Any tips for a freshman?

Jeez you have grown so much! When you started, you were the typical skinny Indian, that pray 5 times a day to LeetCode xD Look at you now! A software engineer, buff, the Software engineer Giga Chad!

Great advice! As a freshman in college, would you say I should focus more on personal projects or leetcode?

[@TheDJJProductions00]

Also, question, do you have any resources in mind for mock interviews? Online or otherwise?

When covid hit, most colleges/universities went online. It's save gas money

@@sukapow i want all universities become online i really don't wanna wasting someone time like mine

[@sukapow]

@@Dataabc you don't really.... The big advantage of going to a university is the "network" If your university is filled with smart and talented people then people can create a company inside of a university like Facebook and Google did. You just need a good idea

[@Dataabc]

@sukapow I haven't seen all these that you are talking about.

[@sukapow]

@@Dataabc it's just takes two or more good people to make a successful company but many college students are fantasizing about getting a six figures job but so they're grinded leetcodes meanwhile they're tuition is like over 80k in many universities lol meanwhile if you are paying 80k for 4-6 years then you might as well buy a house lmao since buying a house isn't impossible in most of the majority of people (middle-low class)

Thanks Bro 🙏 And regarding your Notion coding notes and others which you said you will share once you reach 50K subscribers. Humble request if you can make it paid whatever nominal amount 😊 , so we students can purchase it . Because 50K subscribers we are not sure when its going to happen . Hence requesting you to share it making it paid for purchase 🙏

The notes are already linked for free in the video's description.
