Time passes, FAST. If you want anything significant to happen in your life or your career, you need to do it now. And there needs to be a SPECIFIC plan of action to follow. And you NEED to zoom out to see the significance it will have in your overall life.
In this video, I want to encourage you to do just that in your coding journey, or really whatever goals you are pursuing. Zoom out to see that the sacrifice is actually smaller than you think, and the benefits are much bigger than you think.

When I was in college, I met a woman who went back to school to become a lawyer at 36. A friend of mine asked her, "Won't that take 3-4 years? -- You'll be 40!" She said, "Yup. In 4 years, I'll be 40. This way though, in 4 years I'll be 40, AND A LAWYER!"

@KhallDrake 18 дней назад

And I'm going to be 42 with a CS degree and finally getting a job where I want instead of sticking out the safe thing or whatever I can get. Things have finally turned around for me and I'm going to start driving at a better future. I was the first person in my family to graduate college. I'm going to be the first to graduate University. At year 3-ish I'm going to consider getting a masters in CS. Either way I'll be 42. 42 here or 42 there. To quote Kormac from Diablo 3, "The wrong decision is better than no decision." Just make a decision.

Started at 38 and my age made me think it was too late. I was worried about companies thinking I was too old. Then it occurred to me that I would still be doing a job I hated 3 years later if I didn’t try and be older at my hated job. Later, during my interview for a coding job, one of the things that came up was that they were more inclined to hire me at my age because I was more matured and established, and less likely to not show up to work.

Failed 12th grade at 18 and joined diploma course and spent another 3 years doing it after which got into an university at 22 while most of my friends were graduating. Had some really bad, unsupportive classmates so failed an year,sat at home,failed the next year again sat at home then took readmission for the same course and completed engineering with few subjects to pass. Now it's my final chance to clear the remaining subjects and I'm already 28.5 years old. Most of my friends are married few of them have kids and many of them earn well and have their own house. I'm here not having achieved anything. Life is tough right now but gotta strive.

I dropped out of university the first time I went straight from high school. Got a decent job but felt stuck. I fell in love with programming and decided to give it another go at 25. It took me 3 years to get my degree and I got a job straight after graduating. Employers actually liked the fact that I was older and had experience outside of an education setting, I had other classmates who were also older than me and they excelled and also landed positions.

Overlooking the fact that, those Hits and misses were what made them to be, where they are. It's not about taking 3 years to have the right decision, but the will to act on it the moment it is born.

He is definitely right, I had no college degree and was working a simple help desk job that was poorly paid and there was no room to improve. I spent 3 years there just 'wanting' to get ahead in my career. I managed to leave the just finally then my career skyrocketed from an experience and skill point of view. Of course it took a lot of struggles and countless sleepless nights but it was definitely worth it. No video or tutorial will help you, you gotta get into the nitty gritty of things and so the not so fun things. Also maybe create a road map or a broad plan. I initially had no idea what to do and once I figured that out it greatly improved my work life.

I don't know if that's b/c you have kids, or you appreciate that yourself, but I like your "Down to earth vibe"..

Now I'm 28, trying to to become a data analyst again however the feeling that I won't be able to reach good salary for another 2-3 years makes me demotivated. At 25 I was thinking of making a change in career to data analytics but wasted 3 years till now with the same thought process that I still have now. I would have been in a better place now if I had actually made changes 3 years ago.

@eph511 6 дней назад

Thats been me but only now I'm 39 and wasted about 8 years. So now im jumping head first into what i need to do. Just get stuck in mate because it's so much better to do it now. Set your goals but then break them down into smaller goals so when you hit them it'll help keep you motivated. Also have a vision for your future and why you have those goals. Make the why so powerful that it motivates you to push on. If its just money then maybe that isn't a powerful enough motivator for you. We need urgency sometimes so I think the smaller goals is a good idea so you've sometimes to aim for in the short term or find another way to provide that urgency. Look at it this way, the discomfort of having to push on for another 3 years is a lot worse than wasting another 3 years and feeling you've wasted 6 years

At the same time, you can try to replace C with C++ as it's used more for Interviews in Big tech if you are aiming for that. Again all of this is a friendly suggestion, nothing hard forced♥

This was the mistake I kept making since I turned 22, I wanted things to happen so fast or otherwise I'd quit, last year I realized that is not how it works. You must designate a realistic amount of time for a goal (it usually takes years for something worthwhile) and you must be patient and committed to it. Time will pass anyway, that's not in your hands, what is in your hands is the power to decide what you will be after that period of time. This year I decided to become an actual software engineer and entrepreneur to build projects and businesses that I am passionate about instead of trying to fulfill those checkboxes in job postings just to get the job. I am now 27 and I am grateful to God because despite of my mistakes I still have the opportunity to continue pursuing my goals, and so I will.

I'm 26 years old with a community college diploma in photography because I slacked off in high school and college. 2 years ago, I decided that I would go back to university to get my bachelor's degree. Funny enough I chose one of the hardest major to get in: Engineering. They told me I needed to repeat 5 required high school credits with mid to high 90s average to get in. After 2 years of studying part-time, I am now accepted to the Computer Engineering program and I am going back to University this September. I'll come back to look at this comment 4 years from now when I'm 30 and an Engineer (hopefully). Wish me luck!

This is why I made a plan and stick to it. Planned out exactly what to learn, what to build, and in which order.

How do you know what to learn if your coming in to it from a different background?

@cariyaputta 17 дней назад

@@fruitytarian focus on fundamentals, and following a roadmap, there are plenty of free quality tutorials on internet you just need to stick to a roadmap for awhile and get your feet wet.

I'm 23 I'm studying computer engineering (4 years degree) right now I had a bad start (first 1-2 years) and had to retake courses I'm kinda recovering, and my gpa is getting better, but now my degree can take up to 6 years instead of 4. So it's taking much more than 3 years (as in the video), and I feel that I wasted a lot of time, and now I'll be graduating at around 26 I hope that it will be worth it

This would have felt crushing because I wanted to move but had zero idea on how to make that move. Now, I have started, and I feel much better and empowered after watching this video. I am about 8 months in now. For those who don't know what to do, start small using the octopus testing. The time will still pass, so what do you have to lose?

Was making $40,000 at 27 years old, finished a 3 month coding bootcamp, got my first job 4 months later as a front-end developer. Now, I'm a senior software engineer with a total comp of $193k at 35 years old.

I decided to take learning how to code seriously on Jun 2020 after hitting a rock bottom. I was 31. Four years later, I can build web app front to back, CSS and design. It was the best decision especially because of all the COVID lock downs.

@davefar2964 7 дней назад

If you think "aww, what about all the parties I will miss out on in these 3 years", than I doubt coding (or any other task where you feel bad about missing out on all the parties) is for you. Extrinsic motivation by earning more in the remaining 30-x years is much worse than intrinsic motivation, e.g. "coding is so interesting, I get in a flow that feels awesome, much better than your usual party, I have the urge to learn much more".

I studied economics thinking I could help change the world and started studying programming at age 19 because I needed to make econometric models work for large data sets, which got me a job as a research assistant and I co-wrote 2 papers. But after COVID, I decided life was too short to wait for "a change" and delved deeper into programming. I discovered that I simply fell in love with programming and now I am a data engineer :)

So I learned: go do some tech school (you need to pay for) and try to live next to that (you also need to pay for) for 3 years and you will get a job that TRIPLES your income. I never seen any dev earning triple the income of another normal (non minimum vage) job. And keep in mind: after those 3 years you are a junior in whatever field you wanted to enter. So add another 3 to become decently good and 4 more to become a senior. Now you get that „tripled income“ but you invested 10 years. And guess what: after that time chances are high your skills are no more needed or the company died. So start over. It only takes 3 years - actually 10, but nobody is counting - to get where you’ve been. Giving motivational advice is a great and good thing. As long it is not delusional.

Many are working 30K/year jobs. A dev job, for example, “can” instantly take you to 90K job. I’m not sure what’s so difficult to understand here or why we’re even talking about senior…
