The biggest catch 22 for me is learning to write scalable code without being in a company and working on a massive project. I can't get hired because I don't have the experience yet but at the same time I can't learn everything on my own because the more specialized and difficult a task becomes, the less information there is about it. I'm always scared of spending weeks doing something objectively wrong and then having to unlearn it.
Yea. That is a real one. I’d say that you need work as good as you currently can. And it’s perfectly normal that in a year you will look at that and think “what a crap is this”. It’s a never ending process, so.
You're right. I have 4+ years of experience in the industry and I came to similar conclusions. I think most software engineers fall into a trap of doing nothing for their professional growth. It's not enough to just learn top 100 java interview questions every 2 years if you want to be a true professional. Maybe you'll get a job if you are good enough, but you won't move above mid/weak senior level without educating yourself. Also without learning you're gonna have problems when changing jobs
Great video man!! As there are lot of tech stack in CS industry like Full stack, DevOps, AI/ML, Web3, Low level programming and many more, so how do you do decide which one to pick and make a career out of it? (Disclaimer: Except Web3 I have tried them all and I love them all, so it's hard to pick one Lol)
I mean everyone has their own reasons right? Money and career opportunities are one of them ofc:) The popularity of path is too. Also what you like the most. Ps I don’t recommend full stack :):):)
Do you have any expeirence? If not then pick backend or frontend, get really good. Then get a job. Then ask this question later. Demand in the market is going to be your best friend. Also totally agree with Dennis, dont do full stack.
Привіт, гарний контент робиш) Мені теж 22, я теж бекендер, але на Ноді (основний фреймворк - Нест). Теж вкатився відносно рано в IT (в 19 років), але як General QA, а не девелопер. Свічнувся в розробку у листопаді минулого року. Зараз розумію, що треба було одразу йти в девелопери, але що є, то є
@@denislearnstech до речі, Solution Architect сертифікація складною була, чи якщо знайомий з базовими концептами по системному дизайну і розбираєшся в AWS сервісах (наразі дві сертифікації є - Cloud Practitioner і Certified Developer), то можна пройти на легко з якомось курсом на Udemy від Стефана Марека?
