    Employers are missing out on many great minds in tech by emphasising networking and soft skills in the recruitment process. Many people in this field are introverts, tending towards solitary work, shying away from group activities and social chit chat.

      This is very true. Some of the smartest developers I've worked with in my career as a cyber security professional are absolute introverts. They're such a nerd. You just need to get into their space and you'll be blown away with how much they know.

    The interview process makes me grateful that I’m self employed. It’s just the thought that I went through all that in uni just so I can go beg someone for a job, it’s crazy. Any volunteer work, internships I did & clubs I participated in were purely for my own skills development, so I didn’t have to ask for a job after graduation. I wish more would do the same, industry wants drones & wage slaves, not thinkers & innovators.

      @@prico3358 That's where im at, anxiety really derails your life pretty fast. Im 20 now and really trying my best with improving my skills as a software developer, but skills genuinely seem to be the least important factor in securing a successful career in this industry. (not speaking from experience or anything, i havent ever had a job in tech).
      When i was younger I enjoyed programming and knew I would be able to teach it to myself. I mistakenly associated me becoming a good programmer/engineer with being able to acquire a job as a programmer. I just assumed that was the natural outcome, but now that I'm a bit more mature I realize sociability is the most important factor by far. The second most important factor is credibility. I assumed I could circumvent the need for a traditional degree (which provides credibility) if I simply built my own applications / services then included details about them in cover letters/resume. Turns out people who read those are often not developers or technically inclined so its just a bunch of jargan to them, or they stop reading your resume after they fail to identify X keywords from it.
      I tried to engineer situations in which I could get a developer job without needing to confront my social anxiety, but my plan currently has not worked. Thinking about going all-in on a startup but one of my startups just got essentially "shut down" after about 800~ hours of work on it. Been a bit down ever since.

      So true, but what those who have a degree in a field that is either saturated or with low compensation, and have learn about tech on their own. That I consider to be the highest level and it really shows that they are committed to doing what’s necessary to be in a better position.

      @nathans a loser you don't get it. Of course someone self taught can go as far (or even farther) than someone with a degree; I'm not debating that.
      However, unless you have all the time in world (i.e., don't have a life) your set-taught training will be about just learning the *tools* to achieve some specific goal. *How those tools work under the hood*, etc is a gap that will take you a life time to master, and that's where the value of proper education comes in. Someone with proper, structured training would be able to pick up new skills more efficiently than someone who's missing a lot of the fundamentals.

    I feel more business need to understand what a college degree is for most young people.
    They chose something because they needed to, not necessarily because they love it.
    They often party and skate through with bare minimum effort and only finish because it costs so much money.
    It often has nothing to do with dedication.
    a self taught programmer, if they are actually strict about their learning and know how to teach themselves properly, they are way more dedicated, resilient and will be a more profitable hire for most employees .
    With that said, there is the opposite scenario for both sides.
    Some self taught people just aren't good at it, or they skip a ton of information cause they don't want to learn it.
    There's also college students that take it very serious and do side projects at home to actually build skills.
    If you only rely on what college teaches you, you are essentially useless to any employer on day 1. Where as if a self taught person was focused and built projects they entire time... They know how to effectively use the languages they pursued and also have skills in modern things that schools don't teach you like react etc...

    Most of tech is a service business else focus on product companies, focus which industry get in financial or medical or e-commerce. if you are we developer , you handle their websites. data analyst, scientist you needed knowledge of that industry so get some basic certification. nurses can be good fit for data analyst or scientist for medical domain. telecommunications or network you needed engineering domain. so basically if you don't go to C's engineering data analyst , web developer and data scientist everything else needed computer science degree.

    really??? this tech recruiters advice goes against tech recruiters i talk to on a regular basis when she says "any kind of involvements" or something along those lines. they told me to take that stuff out of my resume unless its directly relevant like a doing something IT-related in a charity.

    Getting a uni degree shows you have money. Teaching yourself shows dedication. Just because someone isn’t privileged financially doesn’t mean they’re not dedicated.

    I would argue that people with degree more dedicated. I’m learning software development for a year and a half now, waking up 4am in the morning before work to study and learning after work. Working full time and have kids to look after.

    • @jtjc7705
      @jtjc7705 2 года назад +1

      Yeah, pretty disheartening to hear the weight it was projected to be held at. Degrees want additional extra curricular credit hours, and x# of credits must be obtained at THAT particular college so that college can make the money. So tough luck if you've had to move a couple times for various reasons. You also get into the financial debate of most with degrees were lucky enough to have a support network/family early on before the complications of later life make it more unrealistic.
      I would go so far as to say those who have self-taught later in life have an even higher dedication and fire for the learning and a fire to do the job they are applying for because in order to do it self taught you are completely giving up any extra time and life you could potentially have outside of work to dedicate yourself for learning this skill. It's more serious and focused for a purpose than the general attitude a college student would have while doing college.

      Whatever makes you feel better about the fact that some people out there who only have GEDs are getting jobs that you're shelling out tens of thousands of dollars in student loans in order to land....
