Advice for a 3rd Year CS Student

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

I'm in a cyber security degree, I've asked my seniors and came to know that the college won't teach me anything related to it. Nothing that I didn't expect. 
So Here's my routine, I'm learning Web-development, Just started bug bounty a little, thinking about starting flutter. I wish I could keep learning this everyday but the works from college and since I'm a day scholar, I get very little time for my own adventures.

Somewhere deep within, I can sense the urge to dropout. I can surely learn by myself and learn better and faster than what they teach in college. 

I also want to move abroad, India isn't for me.

By your experience, what do you think I should be doing differently?

Advice Needed for a Sophomore

I am currently in my third year studying computer science and I am confused about what to do next. Here are some quick points about my profile:

- Strong GitHub profile
- Part of Google's summer of code 2023
- Built some interesting projects (tech stack: typescript, postgres, redis)
- I have studied a fair bit of High Level Design (System Design)
- I have a decent leetcode profile (500 questions mostly medium and Hard) (1800 contest rating)
- I also have strong CS fundamentals (DBMS, oop, CN)

I am currently getting interviews from startups but they want 6 month interns and I cannot do such a long internship right now with college. I am only available for a 2 month summer intern (which most startups don't want). I am from a Tier 2 college and we do have some good companies come for placements but I'm not sure about the scenario for next year.

Any tips or advice on what I should focus on? how I should prepare? what kind of companies I should target? 

Your experience and insights will be of tremendous help for me

Advice for IT fresher

I am graduating from  non-CS/IT branch at a prestigious college this month. In July, I will be joining as an SDE 1 at Appian. Since this is my first full-time job, I want to prepare myself. Experienced professionals, please advise on what to do and what to avoid for better personal and professional growth.

Here are some facts about myself:

Personally, I am somewhat introverted but can talk if necessary and am good at conversing with friends. I often find that others put more effort into initiating conversations, which is why I have only a few friends and no female friends. Most of the time, I am comfortable with this, but sometimes I feel a bit lost.
I rarely play sports or engage in physical activities (I’m not good at any sports). Any suggestions for improvement in this area would be appreciated.

Professionally, I was a mediocre student in college and spent a lot of time on LeetCode (I’ve solved around 700 questions). Should I continue with LeetCode or competitive programming after joining? Or should I focus on projects and learning new tech stacks or AI/ML (I’ve studied a few courses and worked on ML projects)? 
Alternatively, should I just focus on company work and not pursue anything on my own?


Lastly, I have a keen interest in finance and the stock market. I’ve been learning and investing for the past four years. Should I devote more time to learning technical analysis and swing trading, or should I keep it minimal? 

How should I prioritize my personal, professional, and financial goals?

What to Do and Not to Do?

Can anyone experienced tell me what is the trend in industry and what could be more valuable in next 5 yr and what should I don't do now,which is relevant now but not remaining relevant in future because I am ending at 1st yr CS ending...

What should I do

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

A little about myself: 22, just graduated Btech CS from tier 1 college, got placed in a few tier 1 companies, baniya (relevant), and good at engineering in general ( won several actually honourable awards internationally, from government of India, some IIT random techfests, etc). Point of telling this being to get some credibility for the readers so that they don’t take me as a young dumb overconfident 20yr old. (maybe I am?)
I really want to earn money, probably in my genes, my father wants the same for me. My dad has a decent wholesale business (around 1cr per year profit) and I don’t mind moving in it as well. It’s recommended to stay sometime in corporate to learn the nitty gritties of life and other aspects. I don’t mind that either.
Personally, I want to get into entrepreneurship, but again it’s easier said that done, how to start, idea, implementation and everything else it’s just the tip of the iceberg. People of my age (some of them being close to me as well) have started their ventures and have got funding upto 500k USD and it makes me jls.
I’ll be probably joining an MNC and will stay for around 1 year and then see how it goes.
I’ll be really helpful if fellow grapeviners can shed some words of wisdom on how to go on here to a startup/business/high earning journey?

Need advice from millennials

At young age you should focus only on 2 things, career and money.  
  
 Career: Try to learn as much as possible in whatever you do. Take initiative and show enthusiasm for anything new. Anyone can code, but people who take initiative and has the ability to learn new things quickly are the one who make it big. Build a good relationship with your colleagues. Your network is your networth.  
  
 Try to get as much clarity in life as possible. Talk to seniors, learn about their journey, why they made certain decisions. Trust me having clarity in life as to what you wanna do in life is a cheatcode.  
  
 Money: No matter how much you make, you can always save money. Invest that money into index funds. Investing early on in life will put you years ahead of your friends. Compounding is real. Here's a simple rule you can follow: 50:20:30. Spend 50% on basic needs, 20% on your wants and invest the rest 30%.  
  
 Don't buy expensive things just to show off. Literally no one cares.

Product Manager

Hello everybody, I am a CSE student currently in the 3rd year of my undergrad. I am facing a problem in finding peers or friends with similar interests and some good effort towards learning something new and creating projects or products with me . I am studying in a college where my classmates are not interested in doing significant work; they prefer simple tasks and rely on cramming to achieve good GPAs. Can you give me some advice to help me find my way in this situation?
