All you have to do is first solve 1000 problems in leetcode, Then study backend or front end In any language Then complete the rest part if taken front end then learn backend Then learn os, dbms, network. Now along with all these do side projects and still solve leetcode problems Get a job in a good faang company, learn that you don’t know anything about system design, get fired after internship. The company will do it🎉 Start learning system design and multithreadibg using libraries, live some torture days struggling to get an interview. Then at 26 or 28 go for masters and make these type of videos and say coding is very easy

[@funtrap2289]

[@Martinguy287]

My process was p simple: go to CC and get as many As as possible. Transfer to decent uni. Apply for summer internships (apply to around 100). Get a an internship, maybe don’t get a return offer (I didn’t). Start last year of school. apply for a second summer internship. You’ll need to apply to a lot less since your resume will have your first internship on there. Get your second internship. Get the return offer (I did my second time). Start working after finishing school. Most of the ppl I went to school with did the same thing. I know not everyone is in a position on life to follow this process but many are. It’s p standard. Not easy but also it’s not crazy hard.

Yes, in addition to not getting paid 100% of what you produce, you must also know more for less. It's how capitalism works, but that's where you being desperate factors in to "motivate" you.

This is crazy!.. 80 people have already done these videos..

[@amanrubey]

Fab Editing! and this is what I had realized subconsciously after not being able to bag any entry level job after graduating this year. Focusing on leetcode was a scam. Had I given the time I spent on leetcode into actually learning the craft (web development) I had already been employed by now

[@coldCoders]

programming requires problem solving, rethinking, especially for those of us who never entered any CS degrees or background, learning from scratch. Problem solving, CS, 1 programming language fundamentals, writing your own code as you learn(small stuff), tesing your abilities, leet code is helpful off and on, and I use chatGPT to dive deep and in depth into topics creating my own courses, modules, and able to have things explained and illustrated to me in every different way until i understand it. this has helped me allot. ty for your video!!! I just did this with jobs so i know what i need to know

I don't understand how someone can upload a video as clear and thorough as this video is, and yet I still see people trying to get a tech job by following a calculator app and memory game tutorial and be upset that they can't find work. In any case, this is as good advice as anyone is going to find regarding getting a job. Hope a lot more people see it. I'll definitely be sharing it on my LinkedIn. Thank you for this!

[@socj1000]

It doesn't get more clear cut than this: put yourself in their shoes. It doesn't matter what language(s) you know, what frameworks etc. At the end of the day, as a dev no different from any other job, you get hired because the business believes you input will outperform the loss of money they'll incur by hiring you. The value exchange needs to make sense.

[@computernerd8157]

The only issue I have is you have to spend money to get a job. Making a portofolio site cost money so first thing to do is get a none tech job , then create your own bussiness aka portofolio site in hopes to close shop just to work under someone else. Seems different to me. Overall the market is saturated, companies only hire Junior devs so before applieing for a job you must train yourself to mid junior level.

[@AlaniHill]

You have to learn a lot to become a software engineer. Holy cow! I shouldn't have spent 3 years on a CS degree. I haven't learned a single thing about real-world programming. The most I have done is work with algorithms, and not even the super cool ones. The most complex one I have completed is a BST. Looking back now, I wish I had never started school and just self-taught.

[@coldCoders]

love the advice, however, learning what sernior devs learn also requires understanding, conceptualization, allot of time, resources and self discipline, these are not concepts that can be learned in weeks or months with people who dont have days upon days to study. so, how do we learn these senior level programs and apps to get these jobs? Since many entry level junior dev jobs require the ability to solve coding problems, make them more efficient and be able to explain your logic, datastructure and method of thinking with how you write. so im not understand. I understand not using leet code solely, i was told to just do leet code, which doesnt make sense since even doing leet code requires allot of prior knowledge, coding ability and problem solving.

The reality is... People who are actually getting placed aren't watching this video right now... Even she never say a video like this when she was preparing... If you know in demand skills...

Leetcode is fine for practice but it's not practical like actually building a project. Doing your own projects even if it's something simple will go much further than if you can regurgitate the right algorithm. I also embrace commenting out what the code/test/whatever should be doing which makes it easier to actually build out those things later. Local github repo and small commits will also help keep your stuff on track and hold accountable.

hmm everything came from the fundamentals, all these new tech are also base from the fundamentals just an improvement from predecessor.

In a Google Doc? xD Are we back at university, playing school again? We have smart IDEs with all those cool highlighting features for a reason. It's because otherwise we would have to remember all that crap, which would make us engineers seem even less human. I learned not to apply for jobs that require me to take an exam before landing a job. I am the expert, and they require my services, not the other way around. When I submit my application for a job and am invited to an interview, I engage in a conversation with the individual who issued the invitation. When the interview begins, I change my role from being invited to the interview to being here for business. I inform the interviewers that I was invited by Mr. or Mrs. XYZ due to their belief that I can assist in resolving a specific issue. Therefore, it is not me who is submitting an application for a position, but rather the organization is seeking my assistance. The atmosphere shifts completely, and instead of tackling the "exam," we mostly focus on how my skills would benefit the company's current situation.
