The number of influencers trying to sell their courses on coding and systems design has just went nuts. Anyone and everyone who is working in FAANG / MAANG/ WTFAANG seems to be selling dreams to everyone that this is how you get into and sustain into large scale companies.
Once these engineers join after clearing interviews (which are more or less a repeat of the same questions being asked for a thousand times), they find it hard to scale themselves to solve the real world challenges that are thrown at them. And then the complaining starts from all the angles.
For the sake of it, FAANG and all other such top tier companies are not gonna help you once your mental peace if completely f…ed up.
If you think you are genuinely interested in solving issues at scale, spend some real time learning the basics, how the day to day software you use works, spend some time actually researching and banging your head trying to grasp how things are, because most of the challenging issues you are gonna face in your upcoming career won’t have youtube videos available to explain you why they happen.
Stop filling the pockets of influencers to teach you things which you should be putting efforts to learn by exploring yourself.
Rant over
Pretty common rant. Innocent/desperate will still keep getting into this. And cycle doesn’t stop bcoz suppose a guy took it and by luck got a job after it, he/she may associate the credit with that course and start to market it too. Anyway, unless companies change the way they interview - it won’t die down
I don't know if I'm right or not but I feel that software engineering in India is becoming more of "How to get into FAANG" rather than actually learning skills.
Whenever I open LinkedIn all I see is "What I did to get into FAANG" "My l...
Why engineers can’t be engineers?
Such hard selling of courses is really becoming painful on LinkedIn nowadays. Instead of spending time on tech content, these sellers build random stories. Please save yourself from such sellers.
After having Scrolled through so many Holy LinkedIn post, I can be quite certain that if I managed to crack FAANG or any companies which freshers see as "Dream" companies, I can start a Topmate profile or sell a course easily with utmost...
Linkedin has become a place where people post about cracking tech interviews without any tech discussion. Every guy with or without MAANG gives guidance to clear interviews but none of them posts a single stuff about the tech itself. Cr...
Bhaiya/ Didi, please stfu. Keep your courses to you. If you really care about bringing revolution to edtech, then sell your courses for free. What you are doing is fooling the dumb gullible indian college kids. I don't want to see your r...
