In the end, not only in IT. Every niche we come across all the social media platforms, from content creator's perspective, They are doing their Job, the trend of Hooks and CTA has gone soo worst that even if you genuinely wanted help people at the phase of marketing your skills or knowledge it feels miss leading.
Lol just because you are seeing a video about a person telling the basic thing which you would have also understood if you have used a little bit of brain you had. You think you are on a right path. Logo ko course beechna hai isliye yeh sab trend karta hai aur log khudka research karte nhi hai isliye agar koi banda aake unhe bolde ki yeh sab galat hai toh uska hi baat maan lenge. Ab kya guarantee hai ki yeh banda badme 2-3 saal ke baad course nhi beechega nhi bol sakte kuch bhi. Just focus on yourself and research on your own ki kya hai aslihahat aur kya nhi hai.

@@sigmamard777 Bro, if you think a fresher should get 50lpa then it is really really tough. There are exceptions I know but how many? Gather experience in the industry and you will be at the 50lpa mark.
I rarely comment partly because revanced doesn't send me notifications about reply. But as someone who has 15+ year of experience in industry you are spot on. This had to be said. Kudos.
EzSnippet is the worst, bashes people who are trying to have fun in their lives, always talking about money, talking how you are a loser if you have an 8 LPA job, absolutely disgraceful.
I don't think he will bash you for your salary, but the mindset and satisfaction for example i saw someone with 18k monthly asking for advice and he was giving general advice
not getting rude and disrespectful to anyone, but i think we deserve this what is happening to us, especially in India, blindly following anyone, not cross-checking their ideas or suggestions, making them their bhaiya didi, dada and dadi. This trends is also going on in LinkedIn. So many influencers.
you are out of your guts to be honest , you need to understand that education is a business , everybody from youtubers to marketers to consumers everybody does business to make the business profitable , ngo kholke to betha nahi hai koi in colleges you are scammed of 12 lakh rupee fees that is a bigger scam than these tech youtubers, they are here to sell courses and they will sell it , that is a business and every company wants to do it , jise padhna hoga nahi pdhna hoga isse unka kya lena dena , its on your own intellect of what you do , giys like hitesh choudhary harkirat and these people also do business , and the one who follow loyally and gain education will get a job as simple is that

@@SidTheITGuy u got a new subscriber . I am a new cs student and these youtubers scared the crap out of me and they make everything so confusing . I feel overwhelmed at times watching their vids.
Not even for a second I had thought of going back from this video! Truly Amazing. I mean whatever you said I was having exactly same thoughts about these youtubers but I was always doubtful of my thoughts since no one else was pointing out. One more thing that refrained me from thinking anything bad was, "The gratitude" that you spoke about. I was like: "My college wasn't teaching me a thing even after charging so much money but then their are these people who atleast gave me some path". But yes I would like to applaud you for you fierce take on these people, It takes balls to put your hand your hand directly on people with such fan-following. But man may me you could have experimented around the names. Since videos like these are really a treasure and these should persist for future coders. I hope nothing goes wrong with this video, no stupid strikes etc.
Very good video! I wanted to add, part of my bachelors requirement had me reviewing the software engineering skills gap. The bulk of the literature showed that the actual technical skills AREN'T that important to employers, they're concerned more about soft skills, how well you work with others, communication, teamwork, etc. It was a shock to me because everything you see/hear is about how to "upskill," but you really want to focus on developing good social skills. Spending all your time trying to improve your technical skills could actually be making it harder for you to find work if you neglect those social skills employers want. Cheers from the USA 🇺🇸
Many RU-vidrs emphasize focusing solely on DSA, claiming it's the backbone of software engineering, while neglecting other crucial subjects like computer networks, system design, operating systems, and DBMS. DSA is indeed important, but it's just one aspect among many in computer science that freshers should study.
Also the devspace is bad in indian youtubers , everybody is goin after full stack dev without even considering that for many freshers full stack might not even be a interesting which is why they might not get good at it . Other fields like iot , cloud , devops , system design are left behind and freshers soley focus on these full stack which leds to repeated projects
@manavkhandurie359 its not their problem its the problem of middle class in india , you need to understand that in any other field you cannot go cause its highly maintainable , Android you need a 16gb ram and a high end laptop in cloud and networking you need certifications worth 10000 , web dev is easiest
DSA is the most important metric in all high paying IT jobs. If you have done DSA and an internship on web/Android development etc, the rst of the small topics like DBMS, OS, CN can be covered in 1 month at max.
Well you earned a new subscriber. I am also a college student. I do study from the free content they are providing but just don't believe in blindly buying their courses: even stopped following someone when i FELT their bhaiya didi drama rising and seeing them release a one time course then few months later a second version of the said "1 time course". I am indeed scared of how to actually get into the field and being bashed out of by someone who bought and did enough courses. I do feel extremely scared but there is a little to no content out there related to other things than DSA AND WEB DEV.... Right now i am one of the many sheep studying dsa from them. I will continue though cause it's indeed important but idk what i should do next cause web dev isn't seemingly that interesting and i am not into coding in bash either
@@nirjalayadav21 what kinda help do you want. Basic things which I guess might help you are just study DSA from babbar or strivers free course some things like dp recursion and some other topics are much better if you study from striver but rest depends on your own understanding... Further try to lookout which field you wanna go in like web network cloud cyber sec sde or whatever. Then side by side study for that... Doing only DSA won't help continue DSA till the end main things for job are the skills. Learn some skill side by side of doing DSA and don't buy stupid courses for DSA . All the content is available for free
Why this world is so unfair. 😢 Why the big youtubers who are manipulating millions are looting our money and Why this guy who is awareing us have around 5K views. Love you Sid bro.❤
Instead of blaming youtubers, you should blame the colleges who are charging in lakhs and those students can't find job. It's equal responsibility of college and study to do their duties. You just can't solely blame on RU-vidrs.
You are so so spot on! Tbh, it is highly discouraging too, for newbies as well as experienced people working in IT. The fear mongering especially is so intense that one feels defeated even before trying. They sell their content as if it is motivating, but it is exactly the opposite. When we are supposed to nurture someone's interest that can help in their career, it sucks to see a bunch of people just selling their misinformed opinions portraying themselves as the "best exceptional awesome 1% sde crowd" lol. Also, the php hate! Php can actually scale, FB, slack, wordpress etc. uses php lol. Thank you for making this video, really! This should really go viral!
This shit is real dude , I was preparing for 2 years , dsa and developement and when the placement season started , hardly 1-2 companies asked dsa , and that too very easy . in my pannel for interview , there were stuents who havent done anything and having KT as well. though they get selected I get rejected . 90% of luck is involved in the hiring process . but this people wont tell you this . Nice to see that someone is talking about this.
Finally someone called them out, I was so tired of constantly seeing this LPA job this Crore Remote job, glad to know I'm not the only one who felt this.
@@SidTheITGuyhey actually I am from non-tech background 😅 i am really tired nervous idk what to say, i want to just find a dev job can you guide mate.
@@Codemakesense I got into a tech job with little to no experience in coding mate. Just learn on demand basically. Your mind tells you to do something, just do it. Don't listen to XYZABC as to what they did. This video deserves a view from me. I never watch whores and fear-mongers on youtube. Just ruin your mood literally with the thumbnails.
I've rarely seen RU-vidrs speaking so much truth in a single video. I've turned off my RU-vid history and it has helped me avoid these types of videos. I was constantly bombarded with these types of videos earlier and it made me a bit anxious (even though I didn't watch them). I'm so glad that I'm on a better path currently. Thank you for this video.
Very cool video. I'm a researcher and I don't necessarily code too often but I have grown up watching these videos during my Bachelors and I can safely say - you're absolutely correct. I don't even aim to get a big IT job and I still fell for these videos thinking if I Master literally every single technology along with DSA - different tech stacks, devops, testing, security ....etc. there is I will become the top 1% and make the most money possible but that's not true. Shared your video with my juniors! You earned a subscriber.
omg this video needs to get viral. You are spot on. Yesterday i was having a discussion with one of my friend about a 5 crore remote job guy on youtube and how it keeps bringing out courses every 4-5 months which cost 6k . mind u this guy makes 5crore from his Joblike he said and he keeps introducing courses. greed has no limit. That ezsnippet guy brings nothing to the table than his literal misogyny and superiority complex. Also none of these so called youtubers mention the 2020 covid boom and how companies were hiring , none of them mention that they got lucky as well. Majority of these youtubers are from good tier 1 colleges hence good college placement and then they make videos how they got that package not once they say its a low easier for on campus than off campus. THESE people then brings out their friends and then make PODCAST ABOUT HOW THEY SWITCHED FROM AMAZON TO UBER like seriously dude . INDIAN CODING CONTENT IS ALL ABOUT CTC , MONEY , REMOTE JOB , COURSES , DEVIN OR AI and selling dreams.
@@pabitra7556 literally all of his "stories" involve him trashing girls on some way like in one of his video he said how his ex came back and apologized and what not i mean all he ever does is try to show himself above his ex and girls. Not to mention all of his Instagram fame came with him putting dancing "girl" in the start of the video and then teaching how to centre a div Indian tech influencer 🤡lmao. Majority of his stories involve "his" friends trying to woe a girl. I mean for a guy who claims and preach so much about "kaam kro kaam kro" he sure has hell lot to time to talk with his friends about theirs stories. The guy literally yells in his videos "I'm a man I'm a man "😂 . Btw if all u took from my earlier comment about how he's misogynist and nothing else dude u need a reality check.
Very well-made video. I would just like to address the parts about Tech with Tim and Fireship. Fireship often uses a heavy sarcasm in his video, so what might seem to be scare tactics on his part, he did - on multiple videos - expressed frustration with AI tools when trying to make something serious. He even has a video "5 reasons AI kinda suck". As for Tech with Tim, he has a video titled "I Was Wrong About ChatGPT Replacing Programmers," and there, he does admit that he got on the "AI will take our job" hype train in the beginning, but after multiple months of using AI tools, his perspectives have now changed. And this video I am talking about is not a YT Short, it is a full-length video of 8:51. But the points you make in this video are important. The best interests for RU-vidrs are that we keep watching, and to achieve that, they do sometimes resort to misleading tactics.
Indeed, you're correct. I recall discussing this matter with a friend employed at a prestigious IT company. He recounted an incident where they hired two individuals who successfully navigated interviews at major companies like Uber and Amazon, only to resign within four months due to underperformance. Despite receiving high ratings from interviewers, these candidates struggled in actual roles. It highlights a common trend where candidates focus solely on interview preparation, neglecting actual job performance. The most proficient software engineers aren't always those glorified as top 1 percent by RU-vid coders.
13:32 "There is nothing that I would change if I had to start over I would do it exactly the way that it happened for me in my journey because it makes me the person I am today"
Great video my friend! I do coding as a hobby (or at least, I don't care to work for someone else) but still, calling out lies and people who try to take advantage of others is a big W!
Saw the video. Some points were valid. I have been working on improving this and since last few months you won’t see a lot of these thumbnails or videos. However, I will work on the feedback! 💯
chalo nice to see atleast someone has the guts to handle criticism gracefully , just remember while each and every product is sold on promise of outcome , but lemme provide u a simple example , the chain marketing aka mlm ppl also sells dreams but then why are those dreams selling found harmful? Bcoz the main point here is exaggeration , sid never mentioned here that dont take courses or all courses is bad (infact he said that if find real value of your influencer's course without some promise of unreal returns then go for it ) but any course thats sold on the pretext of unreal marketing of selling highly utopian dreams is straight on immoral and wrong and you can love or hate or simply ignore ppl but being such an intelligent and talented guy i guess ppl like you , kirat and neeraj sud know in their heart thats wrong. Come on everyone knows how the indian middle class mentality is and how the youtube algo works , thats why you see all these financial influencial scammers who are not even registered under SEBI advocating for harmful stuff left and right and promoting them, both the financial influencers selling these crazy dreams of becoming rich and the ed tech influencers are doing wrong , atleast those idiots are mostly untalented fks but you guys are much better than that. I have high respect for kirat as he is someone who doesnt advocate for dsa too much or maang though the person who makes his titles and thumbnails are pure cringe and highly believe it doesnt suit his personality , i guess same goes to you , its high time you look at the thumbnails and titles before releasing the video as its said with great power comes great responsibility
@@_notME_77 nehi bhai ajkal new trend aaya hai RU-vidrs ka how x from tier 3 college landed a 50 lpa or 1 cr job after staring with 3.3 or 5 lpa and shifting within 5 years
I was just roaming around and found this video. loved it! I guess why most people fall for this trap is that they don't know the road map. That is what happened to me too. (mind you that I never brought any course and you don't need to either.) RU-vid already has soo many courses. So what is the road map to become a react developer? As I'm also in this journey to become a react developer. I finally found it. So what is it? Just go through mock interviews(in youtube or medium etc) and collect all the topics mentioned for react or for javascript or typescript) then start grilling youself theoretically. and builds projects on top of it(initially mini projects). One thing to keep in mind is that if you memorise you will forget, so keep on building things. Stack overflow is you friend. And DSA, well for that just take any DSA sheet(this days so many are available) and practice array and string problems. You obviously need to know linkedlist queue, stack and tree basics. It is not that complicated I realised that after actually trying. Write notes and keep on adding topics as you discover them. I recently started applying. So hope this helps. Amd wish me luck.
Man, this video is such a breath of fresh air. I totally agree with you that you are what you are because of experiences that you went through. We learn by doing which is most necessary when doing software. If you don't make mistakes, you will never learn. If you make mistakes and you spend 1 day or 1 week trying to rectify that problem, you will learn not to repeat such a thing again. Mistakes make you better. This is what Primeagen says as well. Everyone you can do a task if you tell them how to do it and what steps to take, but if you only tell them to do this task, figure out how to do it on your own. The latter will teach you things that the former wouldn't be able to teach you in over a year. Love you for saying this man.
Ppl nowadays... 1.) Get a High Paying LPA job in MAANG 2.) Then making 10 - 15 videos how they landed the job. 3.) Then emphasis that how talented they are and they can help you in your career 4.) Then start creating courses, selling them, even creating a website to teach other ppl. 5.) Showcase their hidden talent that they always loved teaching when they are still naive and in their mid 20s.. 6.) And then finally when the hype is created and enough audience is attracted to their courses they resign from their jobs, gloryfying & justifying their idea of quitting the job.. In the END the ppl who suffer the most is the middle class hard working coders or job aspirants who get preyed by them. REALLY SICK OF HYPE VIDEOS SINCE A LONG TIME. Hats off to you @SidTheITGuy for speaking so boldly.😍😍😍
no nisahnt and fraz harmed .....plus they make these cringe emotional videos of how tough it was to leave their job and how they always were passionate to teach and how they will bring this revolution in the market ....its indian serials level melodrama
I am also in IT space and I openly accept that I don't want lakhs or crores of rupees as my salary not because I don't like the IT field. But because I know to be a good skilled software developer you need to have some level of DSA understanding and no matter what you say, I don't want to learn it, period. IT field is not just limited to writing codes, but it's also spanning outwards and making the navigation in the tech space easy for even kids. Anyways, I loved the way you spoke the truth and for this reason I know you deserve to be subscribed and followed.
im a high school dropout who was raised in the USA illegally. I did SE for 15 years before I bothered to learn DSA. India's obsession with DSA is due to your culture, not the reality of programming.
Wow its like u read my mind. I m also not interested in 50-60 LPA just enough to not suffer thats it. I like this field but dont like its monetization so much Programming is meant to make like easier for all of us not to turn this to massive business like most of youtuber do. I have seen so many people who make AI projects or whatever to impress recruiters but they rarely they tried to make something useful for even themselves. IKEA effect is really satisfying and big motivation to explore many things. About the DSA thing, i dont hate DSA even though i m bad at it. But one thing i truly hate is competitive coding as it destroys the essence of DSA.. CC is all about optimization or tricks to run certain function. That code may be optimized but may not be scalable or good enough to maintain. Companies ask questions and give coding problems related to it bcz its most convenient for them
@@agenticmarkthats damn true actually here in India students just come to cs with mindset of google and microsoft and just goes into dsa dsa and in the end they gets so much confused and under skilled in it field that they don't get other options to explore
As a software architect I would like to give aspirants a valuable advice to learn to decode the problems one step time. Learn the basics of whatever language you are working with. For frontend devs it is crucial that they know about TypeScript pretty well and learn to manipulate types, and CSS. For backend folks have a greater flexibility with raw SQL.
Thank you so much, bruh! As a fresher about to start my journey in IT, listening to you has made me realise the exploitation that many RU-vidrs subject students to. I appreciate your courage in exposing these tactics and teaching us to embrace our own paths. I hope this video reaches many others
man this is so true. I am actively interviewing fresher for my company, and so many of them just come after copying some project by these youtubers and then belive that they know everything and some of them even expected i would ask more of DSA questions than basic concepts of HTTP and web. Fear mongering is real
lol this is so relatable. knowing atleast one industry standard language is a must. if you don't know anything then what will the company pay you for from day 1 while you catch up. in any case we don't expect or trust trainees to solve the leetcoce level coding problems.
Best of luck to you! I love that you said so many things that us IT people think. I have also thought about making a video or an article similar to this. Regarding the PHP bashing, HR representatives on RU-vid have also bashed older programming languages saying that they are not worth anything now. This is so so wrong because you learn fundamentals such as objects, classes, functions, syntax nuance etc. I’m really tired of seeing them get lots of views and positive reviews at that. C Java PHP all have cool things to learn and implement.
Spring's entire documentation is a mess. Who wants to target the niche (ppl who like java are probably already working with java and is a growing minority) when targeting javascript or go is guaranteed to produce more viewers.
Yes... I have seen a discussion about job opportunity for fresgers in MERN or java full stack... Many of developer voted 60% for java full Stacy which offers more opportunity to fathers compaare to MERN... But in RU-vid it is showing only MERN
Why are you butthurt with mern stack? Mern stack do have good job market anywhere you work. Java is mostly used now in companies like barclays ,deutsche bank etc. many companies have started working on mern stack. Now talking about these 60lpa youtubers yeah i dont agree with them
@@vikk1249 sorry me.Vikki.. I didn't offended MERN Stack.. MERN has a tremendous application in startups.. I know it.. But what I am trying to say is both java and MERN Stack is giant... Java good for enterprise level app and MERN used in startups... But whenever I wabt to learn java spring boot.. My friends don t encourage me... So that i am commented like that...
Really refreshing to see this take. Kinda felt called out as consumer of some of these but ig I needed it. I am very confused now to what to even pursue as a dev... everything seems saturated. I know a lot of roadmaps already exist but would like something that actual give me irl pointers instead of common same advice.

Thank you so much for this video!! I am in 12th rn, I'll start my BS math this year and will learn to code in c++ and python in the next year. I've been watching such videos for the past few months and got kinda influenced. Your video was an eye opener, thanks alot.
@Sid The IT Guy I agree with you. As new students enter the IT field, they often watch RU-vidrs' videos where they only discuss the pros. They don't mention what you actually need apart from this and that. It's shameful that today education has been reduced to just a business.
Loved every bit of it, very mature prespective and every fresher needs to watch this video its a motivation to slow down, look back and be a better engineer. I have been in this rabbit hole of getting sucked into this YT coding culture and I did realize that it was not right the hard way, I just moved towards books, learning some new technology takes time and couple of YT videos cannot be a substitute for it. Learn old tech like C and gain deep understanding of things actually work this will make you appreciate the abstractions which new tech offers and understand it better, it takes time and effort, don't hurry, you don't have to build the next unicorn. I strongly feel in the long run money should not be the motivation upskilling should be, money will follow, just my opinion.
Thank you. I think we need the reminder that "No one knows what they are doing." It also seems as though the youtubers come from a society where it has become the norm to speak on your opinions as though they are fact. I know when I was growing up and learning tech, the people in my life who had authority regularly dismissed many of my preliminary approaches to things and spoke on what they knew as though it was not only more sound, but somehow timeless. I think one of the reasons these youtubers are so successful at the tactics you mentioned is because normal people are bombarded by these same tactics in so many other places. Until you get in the field, everything on the inside is a mystery. And that extends from the work itself to the technologies. Documentation seems to be a known issue for many parts of tech. This unnecessarily big void of unknowns can really make it seem as though we need someone to help guide us through. But I think that's what we keep forgetting. The is big void is big. It's so big in fact that no one person can map everything out. You must journey through it to get anywhere in the field and to, like you said, make your own path. The youtubers have to face the big void at as well. But we forget that what they say is based on what they saw. And what they saw is based on the snapshots they are able to get when they have access to their portion of the void. Sorry for rambling. This video says everything I want to say but that the people I know won't listen to.
I love the video. Some great ideas - there are so many grifters in YT scaring people to sell a product. However I would argue two things. 1) The myth of a 1% elite of developers and testers who get all the worthwhile jobs is a scourge in this industry that has been around for many years. I remember in the late 2000s a big fuss over the idea of the "10x developer" who could magically do the work of ten people. The narrative was that if you just hired a few of these, no matter how difficult they were to deal with or if they could work in a team or not, their sheer productivity and genius would boost the delivery and growth of a company. Now it is largely seem as a joke but many people still believe it. 2) Don't be so hard on people coming into the field just for the money. If you asked most people in any industry why they work in the jobs they do, they would probably say "the money" first or not far from first. I knew many people who studied CS postgrad with me who, if you asked them why they are on the course, would say "for the money". Considering how much university tuition and the cost of buying a house, providing for a family and going from working class to middle class costs, I wouldn’t criticise anyone with a strong money motivation in their career.
These malpractices are now-a-days everywhere (They first overmotivate you them start selling you their courses ) it completely dominant Coaching/Tutorial industries
this dude just laid into each and every one of them, without exception. Salute to you sir and keep doing what you are doing you are absolutely right in that there is too much scare tactics going on in the industry right now. For no reason software development has become this big thing that everyone thinks is absolutely cool and people and companies are selling that image also instead of correcting them. If there is one thing I have understood is that many people see a "market" in grief and regret of other people. It is shameful really.
I completely agree with your point! It's important to be critical of what you see online, especially when it comes to claims about making money fast. There are many resources available to learn coding for free, so do your research before investing in a paid course.
@@begthere3839 yes because now company can hire one senior and few low level developer that can create or fix something using AI. You should focus and have at least more then one hobby in your carrier otherwise after 3 years it will be very hard to survive.
16:09 thanks a lot Sid for spreading awareness. It would have been easy for you too to make a course and market that on ur yt or other social media handles saying i'm having this or that work experience and simply hyping the no of languages or frameworks you know. But, its really hard to be confrontation for the betterment of coders out there knowing the fact that those so called "influencers" will hate/criticize u badly even their blind followers. TRUTH costs a LOT Nowadays. Hatts off to you!! God bless n good luck dude. ❤❤
Appreciate the honesty in this video, and you calling out this entire space of influencers and semi-scammers in it. Hope it will go viral in that segment of RU-vid and open up a conversation that long overdue, but it probably won't because then the people you're calling out would have to actually address the valid critiques you're providing.
This same thing is going in the mentorship programs also. They take money , do over promise in the webminar, and then later don't reply to your messages.
This feels like it was made for me... Over the last year I've gone through each of these channels one by one in phases and literally been binging theprimetime since like last 1-2 weeks and the amount of knowledge I gained and genuine fun I had even in hour long videos is something I've not experienced before
Also I'm not just mindlessly binging everyone, I'm exploring all fields coz I had no idea just how many things are there in comp sci, most Indian code feed is in an infinite loop of which language to choose, this student got this salary qna, and as u said beginner Java, web dev courses..
Thank you so much brother, it really helped me very much to calm myself. As you explained the catchy thumbnails of high packages roames around the youtube which whenever pops ups made me regret on quitting CS and going for designing (in which i am working much passionately and skillfully)........but this video really filters out things......thanks man.....hope you will have great health and growth 🙏❤️
Never had a Sofware Developer job, have been self-teaching for the last 3 years and built many applications for my portfolio and felt ready, when I got to my first interview I forgot how to program and had to improvise on very simple coding challenges, I didn't get the job and it was a shame because the interviewer liked me and seemed like we got along. I stopped applying for jobs after that interview and focused on learning what I should have learned first, the fundamentals networks, operating systems, algorithms , data structures and design patterns. I haven't surrender because last year I remember that I felt in love with coding despite the fact I dropped out of college to pursue this career mainly for the money and I know it's too late to regret that decision. All that said, I see how the world and the industry is going and i'm really just thinking to also learn a blue collar skill, garnering or electrician, or something more niche.
This is the first video I'm watching in your channel, Your sensibility, way of putting hard truth's everything blown my mind off. I'm glad you came out with this topic and presented in a calm way. Hope you'll have more successes! Subscribed immediately 👏
I completely agree with your video, and a lot of points on it man, but one thing that you are missing out is the fact that by saying that the IT industry is meritocracy based and that there exists a top 1% of coders. a lot of young people are being motivated to become the best version of themselves. Yes, it is completely true that there is no such metric to measure who are the top 1% and on what basis. But by considering a hypothetical top segment, a lot of people are able to exploit their full potential by the motivation that they can reach that tier. Which I think is one positive side of it. Also, the scenario in which a less skilled guy might get hired due to asking a lower wage is completely valid. But again, it’s a niched situation, so you cannot generalize that a guy with less merit will always be hired over a more deserving candidate. Even if such situation exists, in majority of cases, a better candidate is usually selected if they reach the final rounds, again exceptions are there as you already said. Initial rounds are kind of an if for either type depending on the firm. I am from IIT kharagpur, coding since sixth grade, developing websites since High school. Have significant experience in open source community. Highlighting these just to say that I didn’t take the course out of desperation for getting a job, or that I have problems in placement. But to show that I found the cohort 1 by Harkirat to be pretty good given the level of depth to which he went into individual topics, something that you rarely find in the low quality content available on RU-vid by bhaiya didi YTers. Obviously, you can learn everything for free on the internet, but again the information is discrete. And not, everybody has the same level of adeptness at researching. Also, there are a lot of firms that visit our colleges like QuadEye, graviton, Tower Research capital, Jane street etc, which actually are great companies whose hiring process is completely based on meritocracy, with emphasis on computer science fundamentals, something that most bhaiya didi RU-vidrs who keep their scam going in the name of GSOC and development completely ignore (maybe because they themselves are incompetent at that level of depth). You are doing a good job, but what i feel is you should always place both sides of the coin. On one side, there is no such crazy metric as 1% club and not everything is merit based, but on the other side, being a highly skilled and knowledgeable coder actually pays in the long run. As India is any way slowly becoming famous to the world for polluting opensource due large pool of low quality engineers.
I don't like software engineering anymore..koi v video banata hai and course bechta hai...I left my job also..now I really regret aerospace engineering kyu nhi kia ya core domain me kyu nhi gayi...IT itna crowded ho chuka hai,sabko IT me aana hai aur high paying job chahiye...abhi sabko data science data analytics me ghusna hai...
I'd agree that the competition is fierce, and that's exactly where RU-vidrs swoop in and try to sell you courses/things. Exactly what I covered in the video.
So i recently watched a video where a youtuber is explaining his perspective to get started in the field (not CS) but i followed and liked it in a reverse order of what he said, I mean i respect his experience but what i think is everyone is viewing the world in their perspective and as a viewer we must be conscious enough to notice that and don't take everything personally but instead try and test the task ourselves first and i advice everyone to do the same in the CS field too, your perspective and your reality counts at the end of the day! Instead of blindly following the narrative we instead should research something on our end. Thank you for making this video and giving a reality check
Yes, totally agreed with you on point. That they totally miss the point, passion! There is no place for passion. The way medical partitioning is still closed CSE must close its door too.
The level of clarity in the thought process and the courage to talk about such an important topic is just very appreciative.Glad to see such people also exists. Finally RU-vid recommending quality content.
Great insight! I can imagine how this video can be eye-opening for many NPC students falling in the trap. Good to see someone finally make a video on it. Bashing PHP part was also very accurate...doesn't get enough spotlight.
@@afreenbanu13667 Its a term commonly used for people who do not have their own thought process and act according to others/society's beliefs and rules...
Thanks mate, took a long time for me to understand this but i am free of it now , subscribed to one of them now unsubscribed these so called influencers instantly. You got a new subscriber now , i like your views and agree with it thanks for giving a new perspective!
Video deserves attention and reach, This RU-vidrs' regret videos may create unnecessary anxiety and pressure to learn everything quickly. It's important to recognize that software development is a journey with continuous learning and growth, and individual experiences will vary.
I just randomly came across ur channel today. RU-vid algo is pushing this vid 😁. U earned a subscriber. Btw my fav youtuber is arpit bhayani. He is never irrelevant, doesn't post any opinions. Just comes, teaches and leaves, that's it. He also deserves a shoutout...
I appreciate ur efforts to make a video like this. One time i made a comment related to this like..These guys are like finance influencers..telling bull run..and bear...making lafoffs to fear monger... Actually what happed is these youtubers have young toxic fans..who blindly follows them
Hey that was a lot of good wisdom covered in short time. As a 10+ years experienced software engineer. I'm sure, I love your content in future as well. Just subscribing you for ever.
