Is it possible to work in corporate without an degree 🤔- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hello folks, 

This is a call for every software engineer and broader community. 
I’m a 30 year old customer support employee who worked at Airtel, MPL, Wazirx and I have 5 years of total experience all things customer support. 

About a year ago, laid off at Wazirx due to crypto taxes and regulations and it’s been an uphill battle to find a steady job in the market. 

Did few freelance jobs but nothing is working out. I’m at a point where I’m unable to even get by on monthly basis. 

I’m a Engg dropout as well, so no degree, no real top notch experience to land other roles. 

I finally decided to have a crack at software jobs and pivot to whole new field. I have few queries, if anyone can find some time and answer them, it would mean the world to me 

1. Do I need a degree to land software roles ? 
2. To pivot to coding roles ( no prior experience), where should i start ?
3. There’s an ocean of misinformation out there, I’m really confused on where to start and which courses to take up? ( Planning to take up Phyton ) 
4. Can coding help to land freelance jobs ( I know it’s difficult and takes time to reach good enough of a level but I’m willing to work hard and put the hours in ). 
5. I know companies doesn’t bet on candidates without a degree but what’s the best way to approach this scenario? 

Thanks a lot for your time for answering these queries. Highly appreciated 🙏🏼

how much do you value degree in your organisation?

if it’s a knowledge industry, makes sense.

adding on, do people actually get roles(read well paid) without degree-

for founders and folks working in startups

Intern

I am a student, and many people have suggested that a corporate job is a great career option. Can anyone explain what exactly a corporate job means? What does one need to do in a corporate job? Please explain in a very simple language because I do not get the professional lingo.

Hello, so I am a 26 year old, working in a BPO. Currently I am learning JavaScript and want to become a frontend developer. I don't have any degree and completed my 12th in 2016. Is it wise to pursue any degree for frontend developer job or learn programming and create some projects and is there any company in India who will provide job with only skills and without any degree?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Hey guys,

Thank you lads.

PEOPLE WORK IN CORPORATE FOR MORE THAN 10 YEAR - HOW???

Software Developer

I am a '21 graduate from a Tier 1 college (old IIT) and have had short stints as product manager at a couple of startups. About a year back, I decided to startup but after a few months, realized that startup idea wasn't worth pursuing. 

Researched around a few startup ideas and finally landed upon a good one in D2C space. But the problem is financing. I don't have much saving and friends / family network wouldn't be able to finance this. I really want to pursue this idea but finance is becoming a hindrance. 

So started looking for job opportunities about 3 months back. I have been exploring work opportunities in product / founder office / EIR roles or other generalist role. 

Job hunt process has been frustrating to say the least. Getting very few calls. In most cases, people are ghosting after couple of rounds of interview or assignment. In some cases, after getting through 2-3 rounds, I got to know that opening has been closed temporarily. Most HRs don't even have the decency to give feedback. 

I don't intend to work in job for long anyway. As soon as I have the job, I plan to start working on my business idea and quit as soon as I have enough financial leeway. 

How should I go about job hunt process? I have been trying to connect with folks on LinkedIn in whose company job openings are there. Apart from this, I have been connecting with founders from recently funded startups. Naukri / Instahyre and IIM Jobs are other portals I have been looking on. Anything I should do differently here? 

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions / experience.

How bad is the job market?

Just a advice: 
  
 Never do the assignment for any company.This company will ghost you every time after the assignment or will offer lower pay / lower position. 
  
 Companies just try to get ideas via the assignment

Product Manager

Hi i work in Investment banking (back end) profile. However after 4 years of spending in this team, my team has been changed to valuation team. The work in this team would take time for me to adept however to be frank I don’t like the work at all and see it to be not useful outside the team.

Meanwhile I have been offered a corporate strategy associate role at a US based company. Can anyone please tell me as to how is a career in corporate strategy supposed to look, is changing the profile worth it anymore and what sort of work we do in strategy. Really need your inputs.

Thank in advance

Corporate strategy role

Consultant

Background: I completed my engineering degree from a tier 3 college in India and have been working as a software engineer in multiple early-stage startups in India and UAE for the past 7 years.

I have always had a desire to start my own company, and though I attempted it twice in the past, unfortunately, those endeavors didn't succeed.

I don't have any prestigious affiliations or connections. Neither have I worked for a renowned company nor attended a prestigious college. Consequently, I also lack a strong professional network. This makes me wonder if pursuing an MBA from a reputable college would be beneficial for my entrepreneurial aspirations.

Is getting an MBA helpful for a software engineer who wants to start their own company later on?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

->The question is will a MBA help to make the switch or a jump easier...or having work ex and then going for MBA is better ?*
I'm an economics graduate (FRESHER) and currently working under 'growth and retention' having a decent exposure as the team is small...though I plan to switch from this role to PM.

WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME INPUT ON THIS.

Product Marketing Manager

I am 7+ YoE and wondering if my career growth is limited now since I don’t have a masters degree.

Does people’s career get limited without Masters?

Most of the queries asked here should be sorted easily if an HR can respond with their insights, but i rarely see any HR participating in discussions, maybe we don't have that many HR's here ?

Or 

maybe you folks want to stay the same as you are on the job, totally useless.

Aren't there enough HR's users on grapevine? I hardly see you folks responding to queries?

Senior Software Engineer

Excuse me for being all philosophical and emo but surely this isn’t what life is all about! Waiting for weekends, sleep deprived weekdays, questioning “what am I doing” every second week? Like what are we even solving for? The governments and corporates control it all while we work like puppets. 

Does having something of your own (a business for the lack of a better example) make things better? 

Thoughts?

Is a corporate job really it?

Brand Communication Manager

I have read in multiple places that FAANG hiring abroad is focused more on experience+skill, and less on degree. Infact people with no graduate degrees are also hired, if they have the relevant skills.

Was curious to know if this holds up for their Indian counterpart hiring. Does Google/Microsoft/Amazon/Apple in India hire candidates if they have the relevant experience/skills but absolutely no degree ?

If they actually do hire, what are the important pointers that the hiring team usually look into for such profiles?
