    Awesome advice 👍🏾. I particularly liked the point where he opened up to someone about some of his struggles. There's a lot of imposter syndrome in this field and something I wish I did in my undergrad was talk to people who could support me early on. Other than that - also agree with the whole try something you like or have always wanted to do - even if you don't finish, you'll still grow as a programmer because a lot of programming is hands-on practice.

    Nice video, sadly I don't really have the motivation to work on side projects and university at the same time other than very small ones. I have worked on a lot of side projects over the years (even before uni), but I feel like none of them has a high enough complexity to be showcased...

    • @jooweee

      the side projects don't have to be amazing, but I would say working on side projects is optional
      the expectations aren't that high for projects made by college students
      I think the most important thing is to build a resume, prepare for interviews, and try to get an internship though

    Awesome video man :). Also, no way you guys were actually sending ZIP files to each other instead of using git xD

      LOL yeah it's one of my regrets
      they should really students teach how to use git in college

    I'm doing a computer science conversion masters course at my university. I'm learning python and wanted to know the best way to learn and practice coding in my spare time

    • @jooweee
      @jooweee  Год назад +1

      is there anything in specific that you want to build?
      you can research more into these, but some things you can build with python are
      data scrapers and web crawlers using Beautiful Soup or Scrapy
      automation and scripting through your files directory on windows / finder on mac
      creating basic games using Pygame
      when I was learning python, I used automatetheboringstuff.com/

    what do you think about survivor ship bias?

    • @jooweee
      @jooweee  11 месяцев назад +1

      in what kind of context?
      if it's about finding a job without internships, I think social media focuses too much on people that can't find one rather than people that do, but maybe that's because people that find a job don't talk about it

    Great vid! What are your thoughts on study abroad internships, where you pay for an internship? Obviously I would prefer to be paid, but I feel like it could be something cool and unique to put in my resume for this upcoming summer (sophomore rn)

      @@loyaljakes could you elaborate a little more? Do you not think companies would care or is it more spending money that you are against?

    • @jooweee
      @jooweee  Год назад

      I've not heard of study abroad internships like this - which country is this in?
      If spending money isn't an issue for you and you don't have anything lined up, then it might be worth it, but I wouldn't go into debt for it
      it's hard to know if it's worth it without knowing all of the details

    I’m currently at a community college, can I get internships or should I apply for junior roles

    • @jooweee
      @jooweee  Год назад

      should apply to internships, which usually last around 3 months and are only made for college students
      it's unlikely to get a entry level job as a student since they are full time positions

    • @jooweee
      @jooweee  Год назад

      hmm, that's pretty difficult to do
      I see some people recommend to build projects utilizing data structures and algorithms, but I would recommend working on them separately, since they are pretty different than each other
