Codebenders, if you want to get a high-paid job, I can personally coach a few of you. Fill this form before Oct 29: forms.gle/in91hHDFCpLd5ihL6 Do it NOW. It will take you 5min.

No matter how desperate you are, NEVER go for a company where they don't make you jump through any hoops. If the interview doesn't ask any genuenly hard questions, if they don't seem unsure at all, if the whole process to you being hired feels super easy and seamless DO NOT TAKE THAT JOB. From my experience this is THE number one sign of a horrible company to work for. You might think that you'll just take that job to get the experience but no, you will either quit in a few months or be forced to quit in a few months because of how bad it is.

Im at 4 year exp and its still hard lol

I have a friend at Pfizer. They were Cum Laude at their graduate university, a top 3 school. Then they went two years without a job, then the pandemic happened. They got an interview early in the pandemic, and when asked about experience in the thing they would be in charge of, they made a joke about it and lied about having any experience. A year later they were considered employee of the year. Two years later and they leveraged their position into a job at Pfizer. No more than a year's experience doing what they're doing now, yet the job description demanded eight.

thanks for sharing man! that's why I always tell people, if the position looks great for you, just apply even if you don't fit the experience. If they like you, they might have a different role that will fit you.

Thanks for this video. Reaffirmed my route.🙏

love this video, super transparent about studying in UCLA and rejected applying for jobs and many things more

Thinking like the company really changes my whole perspective when it comes to job seeking. If I was a employer, why would I hire me? Why am I worth investing on? Thanks so much man, your points are much more useful

How beautiful your speech is…. I’m a Russian student who is trying to learn English and coding both, and your channel is the best to watch on my free time)) I feel this dialect in your speech, which makes it easier to understand for me..

Good points, BTW, What is better to focus on, is it problem solving and DSA, or Side projects development

@SOLDAT_MENDES

9 ай бұрын

both problem solving and DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms) as well as side project development are valuable skills to focus on. Problem solving and DSA help with technical interviews and algorithmic thinking, while side projects demonstrate practical application and showcase your abilities. It's beneficial to have a balance of both.

Is there a way of finding Small Startups? I really like your idea in targeting my these companies but it’s hard to find :/

Hey! So you were an international student, how the startups deal with your visa complexities?

@@TheLastCodebender The event goes about 3 hours. Mingle, get coffee, and talk for the first 30 minutes. Then a 30 minute intro circle where people introduce themselves and say what they can help with/need help with, then 2 hours of networking with people, a job search session for helping people with their job search, a session about some technology, and then perhaps an algorithm room. It’s a good place to meet other devs.

Still does not change the fact ,that companies think its somebody elses job to train their employees lol. If tech interviews were usefull then a canadaite who passes them should be capable of doing the job. This is a great video, I am just saying the whole processes is trash.

yeah the market has become ridiculous in many ways, it's also a result of the education system being trash, you are not taught nearly enough in traditional education to be ready for a job

@computernerd8157

​@@TheLastCodebender Educations job is not to teach me how to become a employee for a specific company, its job is to teach the fundamentals to enable me to pick up any tech stack. I think education at least my education did a good job with that. Companies just do not want train entry level anymore so in my case, I have a Bachelors where I was given training in DataStructers, Algorithms Network systems, DataBase and all that still is not enough? Due to this, a Degree is no better for getting a job then being self taught and the market is even worst for it. Every developer now has to self train themselves or they will not get a job. Some jobs are even saying internships dont count. In the end, you have to build bussiness before you can get a job? Well at that point, you might as well just stop looking for a job and compete with better hiring practice.

there are many sites, you can use LinkedIn, glassdoor, google jobs, but also what works well is to look at starts around you and just email them. You can even DM founders on Twitter, this will help you standout because few people do that (I got several interviews like that)

Stephen Wolfram, often considered the man who modernized computer science education, believes AI will eliminate computer science as a field of study within our lifetime. The most likely scenario is that the number of man-hours necessary to do the job will change, which will translate into fewer jobs, or even a part-time market for jobs or contractors. You could also look into becoming a machine learning engineer or AI developer. Eventually, the only thing safe from this type of automation will be things that require skilled hands on attention, or those developing the tech itself.

I really wish people would stop making these types of videos. In the end, I don't think they are helping very much and often are giving people false hope. Instead, why don't you make videos demonstrating your amazing software engineering abilities?

were totally screwed now with Ai

Offshore jobs are the root cause for a lot of this imo. You should see these top companies with 90%+ greencard devs. Indians only hire indians right now. It’s so corrupt

The "one thing" is a course (which gets revealed towards the end).

Capitalism has achieved its goal: to make more people become developers to lower wages.

tbh you have a good point that we need to think in the eyes of the company and basically have value so when we come onto the company, we can start contributing. problem is tell us what to learn instead of plugging your program in, it feels like clickbait

I try to provide the max value I can for free on my channel. I will always continue to do that. The issue is that there is a limit to how much i can help if i dont talk to you personally. The value of the program I talk about is that I can give you personalized advice based on your situation, instead of just giving generic advice like I do on my channel where it's meant for a wide audience. You don't need to buy it, you can get all that info for free, but if you need answers to your specific questions or you want coaching from someone who went through the path you want to take, thats where it can help
