Man those who are starting college watching this kind of content are so lucky, one of the “bad sides” to watching these kinds of videos is that you realize you were never “dumb” or “not talented” enough you just didn’t have the right roadmap the right information, the right teacher to guide the decisions you make.

@Zakbass84 29 дней назад

The fact that you need to have extensive prior experience to get an INTERNSHIP is wild! This applies to almost every industry. I left my career in sales about a year ago to pursue software development. I had no prior experience whatsoever but have become fairly proficient. I knew it was going to be an uphill battle about a month before I put in my resignation when I tried to hire a summer intern with no prior sales experience but had an insatiable desire to learn. My boss told me there were other qualified candidates that I had interviewed that would be a better fit. None of them had the personality for sales and didn't even seem interested in learning more other than "how to make more money." I've started applying for internships but haven't gotten any call backs yet. I'll get there but this notion of requiring 5 years of experience for a sub-entry-level position is making it very frustrating.

@elexushavis9334 27 дней назад

I’m starting at WGU next month on the c# track and a really need to get at least one REMOTE internship before I graduate. I live in the rural area with no opportunities for software dev, so I fear that will be my one and only door here into the tech world. I want this, and I’m just scared to miss my chance and all this be for nothing. My issue is the when of it all. When do i start looking for internships? When do I actually have enough classes and knowledge to be useful to a company? When will I know enough to actually do a leet code problem? And will that be enough time to get good at it, apply to these internships, and actually get one before graduation? It’s all very stressful, not to mention the Resume part where I have literally nothing (technical) to put on it since I’m changing fields completely from healthcare to tech.

Hey, this is my first time watching you. I really love the advice you gave here, I know I will be rewatching this multiple times. However, your point about getting my first internship came up with a question. What if I do not have family members who can refer me?

What should I do?

hey aman, i am international high school senior from india. I recently got into Georgia Tech for CS and the cost for 4 years would be 200k USD. I also got into University of Texas at Dallas (UTDallas) for CS and I got a scholarship there. So at UTD my cost for 4 years is 50k USD. So do you think I should spend extra 150k USD and get a Georgia Tech CS Degree as it is a brand or should I save money and go to UT Dallas.

@AmanManazir 3 месяца назад

Thanks for the question! It depends on how much money you have. I lean towards picking Georgia Tech and grinding as hard as possible - put your entire life into CS + software engineering and within 3-5 years you'll earn the difference back. The name-brand does matter and more importantly Georgia Tech will be very competitive and will motivate you to do much more. Good luck.

@thelearningchap8529 3 месяца назад

@@AmanManazir my dad does have enough money to pay extra 150k (if worth) so say i choose GT and grind hard. But like there's one more thing that scares me. The traditional CS/SWE jobs are gonna go down probably and i am international so it would be even more difficult for me to get companies who sponsor intl students. So could you suggest a backup plan i should lean on. Should I minor in finance or something. or should I just focus on core SWE and it will not be a problem?
