I love your videos! I'm a chemical engineer, I finished a Bootcamp this week and I got a job as a software developer trainee, I'll start in January! Yay, I'm super excited about my career transition. I live in Brazil btw
How much does it cost?
Congratz! XD
@@henmedina3194 This particular bootcamp has a selective process to participate and get a scholarship, so I didn't pay for it
@@graziribeiros wow congrats! What stack or language did you learn and what do you have to do at work?
Oh wow congrats, beautiful and smart 😄
These videos are great!!! I think that choosing the best path is something very personal... but in my case I tried to follow a career at the university and I ended up leaving it when I realized that as an autodidact I learn much more content and faster.
I really enjoy your videos. I'm personally a self-taught software engineer, and can attest to the amount of time and discipline required to enter the industry via the "self-taught" route. :D
I'm personally taking part 1. I just graduated from mechatronics engineering but didn't learn plenty about coding. I really fell in love with programming, so that's what keeps me motivated 😍 thanks for the video, mate!
You can also marry with coding
Most important thing is to take what you learn and apply it by creating demo projects. A big pro of going to bootcamp or even better a college for a degree is networking (since finding a trustworty mentor can exponentially promote your growth early) and learning how to work in a team if you have no experience with this. You can definitely join a free open source project but most likely you wont know what the hell is going on and some people may or may not be willing to help you catch up on the project and what it does.
Thanks for the video bro! You make my weekend way better!
Thank you for the video! I was loosening up for a bit, but now i will try harder! Greetings from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
Thank you for this video! And this headband is so cool!
Good video. At the same time. Here's my take. Many people do things backwards: trying to learn the foundation first without practical knowledge. That is why many entry-level folks have a hard time finding a new job because they don't have the job ready skills.
Here's my advice: Do self-learning & online bootcamp first, get a related job, build experience, and then enroll in part-time studies for continued education in your field. Mastering foundation is actually quite challenging and you won't truly resonate with the concepts with 1000 page textbooks. These are mastered overtime with experience and self-discovery.
Thank you, i really needed this!
Great video, analytical, objective + very helpful. Thanks!
P.S.: Nice bandana and spectacular music near the end of the video=)
Great info! I couldn't stop myself from thinking you were acting, I guess from your Squid Games series. xD
inspiring video thank you !
I just got a React job. I am now finishing my 3rd month. I have learned everything by my self and I started in April with bootcap in 2019. I did took a brake of 7 month from learning tho. But when I was learning I put in even 10h a day. Im pretty happy with the job, although I wish I would started learning sooner.
I'm dong #3 starting school next Monday! I'm going to be majoring in Cybersecurity! Wish me luck!!
Love this channel 😍
Love Danial🌹
I'm doing an Information (Electrical) Engineering degree and I wanna learn how to code on my own because my degree consisted more of Electronics and Signals & Systems and not Data structures and algorithms which would be more useful to me
I barely graduated high school didn’t go to college and I’m a principal Devops engineer now. It would be nice if any path guaranteed anything but it doesn’t
So how did you learn
I taught myself, but i am an extremely self-motivated learner who has been teaching myself everything since kindergarten (i was allowed to do independent studies through school due to having an IEP). Most ppl are not good at being an autodidact... pandemic school at home proved that is true.
Great video!
with youtube and free quality courses these days, anyone can transit to Software engineering in less than a year. it just takes determination and grind. from a mechanical engineer
I really like your videos!
Thanks you ❤
Just found your channel, looking to transition careers after watching my little brother who's a CS major, he's the one that inspired me and peeked my interest in programming. Any recommendations on a bootcamp?
look for ones that teach you full-stack (frontend + backend), job guarantees, and 1:1 mentorship. if u do ur research, u shud be able to find ones that give u a completion certificate in less than a year with ~$15k tuition
I was studying in nursing in university. Now I'm a MS agent. I can do it, neither do you. Just studying and practicing by yourself. And the most important thing: it's must be your passion :))))
Hi Pirate King, remember me? Your strategy for growth was inspiring. It inspired me to try to save a video. Something in general I cannot do. In the past I feel like I can't hold it, but now I can be more strategic. I'm a software engineer as well and I'm getting obsessed with making arguably funny UFC Videos. So my question is, what do you do to not have your head floaded with ideas to implement on your videos taking space from really important stuff in your life. Or even stop YT.
What I feel is that I'm obsessed with making this videos because I barely made YT money and I feel like stopping right now will be like a failure. I knew all these, I knew is not right, but still I can't stop. I feel like I'm a drug addict.
I know this is not the type of comment you would expect. But I would really oike to have an answer from you. Merry Christmas and Happy new year!!
If you want we can even do a call and talk a bit, I feel like you could help me
Hey! Merry Christmas and a happy new year! Thanks for reaching out! Yeah, definitely remember you :p I don't think I'm in the position to give you any kind of advice, but what if you try giving yourself a little break? I recently slowed down my upload frequency because I realized that I'll burn myself out if I keep doing this. Although I do see a decline in the channel engagement, at least my mind is at peace. It's never too late to resume regular upload schedule, and you can explore different ideas for your contents while you take a rest. Besides, I myself took a break for about three weeks during Thanksgiving. It was nice and gave me an ample amount of time to think about what I want to do next. Hope it helps! All the best!
@@PIRATEKINGDOM hey!! Cool! It was the right idea to come talk with you. It was also nice from you to let me know you are also having your struggles. Yes I definitely think that taking a break works. I was taking a break actually but I saw the opportunity to make a short because it was "short" and then I relapsed. Did 3 vids already (posting the 3rd tomorrow) working on the forth but hopefully this will be the last from this relapse. But I'll try to follow your advice harder. I'm going to do some breathing exercises as hell to find focus, which I lost because of my youtube addiction and hopefully I'll start 2022 with the right foot! Thank you so much it was nice to talk with you!
"Breathing exercises as well" correction
@@PIRATEKINGDOM hi there Pirate! 😄 I think my addiction is better, I managed to at least break the 100$ revenue I can rest. But the other side of the equation is that youtube has wipedout my gains 2 days after having a semi viral video. Thats how I found youtube wage theft hashtag #youtubewagetheft. It supposedly happens to channels below 100k. I'm very concerned. This is so disrespectful. As far as I searched this was admitted as a bug and later they rolledback and told it is our fault or somebody's for using bots/invalid traffic.
Because you also went viral recently I would like to ask you if you went through something similar?
Thank you so much and happy new year!!
Hello-
Loved the video. I’m currently at Purdue University majoring in Computer information technology. You mentioned that taking courses that relate to software development will help me. Do you have any other advice on ways I could beat out the computer science kids at my school for internships? Ive joined application development clubs but I’m looking for other ways to pad my resume bc the CS kids are always looked at first. Would really appreciate some advice on where I should be investing my time. Thanks
Work experience is what ultimately companies look for and value the most. What I did to land my first SWE job and beat out CS kids like u mention was to get a part-time programming/SWE job. Not only do u get paid (even a little), u gain work experience + learn a lot. Search for ones in google.
I just found your channel and I love it! I am changing careers and I am torn between boot camps. On one hand some people are telling me that there are free boot camps but I don’t see 1:1 mentorship or job guarantees, and on the other end, I found a Boot Camp in MD University that is 13k but offers a lot of support with mentors, job guarantee and front end and back end. I am going to have to take a loan but I think I should go for the one in MD university. It sounded promising. What is your advice?
yeah, i don't think the free ones will provide you with much support either. there are lots of coding bootcamps with different curriculums and support, so I recommend you shop around more to make the best decision for yourself.
thx for the info dude , i have a question where did you buy that shirt it looks so cool and cozy ?
COS!
When you said it’d take a year or two to get a job if you went the self taught route, where you referring to a software engineering job or any tech job? I plan on teaching myself by studying for 3 hours a day. I was hoping to get a tech job in 6 months and then get my Masters degree in CS. After I graduate I’d like to move to a software engineering role. I’d like to get into the tech industry as soon as possible, but I don’t want to limit my growth. Paying for a boot camp isn’t an option right now however.
I was referring to a swe role
Thamks
Thanks
You forgot one more way. You can teach yourself and also do code bootcamp to solidify your knowledge
Hey bro I am working on PAM tool will you please make a content on that
I recently graduated with an associates in Computer Science, with a relatively decent GPU 3.65. I find myself mainly interested in programming/coding, but dont remember much of what I learned nor feel like I would be capable of doing a job without struggling. I feel like they didnt prepare me enough. What do you think I should do?
Create your own portfolio. I suggest starting with a website. I learned the most by actually building something myself.
Did you end up finding a job?
Thanks dude
Quick question I'm not a US citizen, but I do work for already about 5 years, got a bachelors degree, is it worth spending time in a Masters degree (not really learning anything new there anyway)? from a legal perspective are there any tangible benefits to having the paperwork, not taking skills into account? Edit: In US :) not talking about other parts of the world..
Masters can help u speed up green card process. i dont see a tangible benefit other than that
@@PIRATEKINGDOM Thx a bunch :)
Degree in what?
Would my Master's degree in a health science field help in terms of having my CV stand out? I'm planning to switch from being a Dietitian to a web developer by going through TOP.
no... only practical skills related to the field matter in this industry
The problem is when you have a good professor that teaches you a lot you notice that all those tutorials on the internet are bare minimum and don't really explain much
It is still a nice way to start learning
Try to search for books, there are some that are very good
I start to self learning nearly 1 month with work everyday. Only can learn after back from working, at least 1-2hour per day. I hope i can success in future.
1)- You have a new sub (Because I am learning as a "non SWE" about which coding language and career path will be best for me, so thx for useful content)
2)- That bandana makes you look like a cRiPs gang member but like a wannabe version (Dont ever wear it again lol)
3)- I Know there is an over saturation of info. related to the question of degree or no degree related to potential likelihood of success (meaning will you land a dam job + get paid $) & I feel like its a matter of what exactly you choose to learn + for what purpose within a given area + how your soft skills are as well? (Correct me if I am wrong) + other related certs or know how you may have
4)- Do you think anyone who learns to code using sayyy......Java but then learns Python as well is at an entry level job ready position?
5)- Hypothetical scenario: If you were way younger all over again, and you were banned from college completely at all whatsoever then what would you start by learning in terms of code language? And how do you think you would advance to a high salary just starting out?
6)- Love your videos! Glad I subbed and thank you!👍✌️💙
Yes all you need is to go through entire w3school to do everything basic there is to know
Hi, I have a question, What is the maximum promotions that someone without a degree can aspire to? Like L5 or L6. That's my doubt. Ty love your videos.
There’s no limit as long as u can prove urself capable. It’s just that it’ll most likely be harder compared to those with degrees
Thanks for your answer!
What are your thoughts on Coursera? I'm taking up data science for free through their free certificate
Sorry, never tried it myself, so I can't provide much input. But I don't think it hurts to try something for free :p
I'm taking Coursera paid courses for free with their financial aid support - They're very generous, you don't have to be in dire need 😆
yeah this is what i wanted
So I should choose cs degree rather than a software engineering degree?😮
Can you tell us what to do like step wise to become swe . Like I am confused what to do after learning java basics .
Come join my discord. Links in the description!
@@PIRATEKINGDOM thanks, will do
What is the difference between degree weight taken from a top level university and a below average university? Are both CS degrees will be treated as same if both have same skills and knowledge
for the same skills and knowledge, the compensation will be the same across companies meaning they won't give you higher salary simply becuz u r from a top university
@@PIRATEKINGDOM thanks for the fastest reply on planet!
Thanks for your videos♥️
Next year, I will major in one of computer science or information technology. What is the best way to become a software engineer? Because I heard that CS majors are only memorization and mathematics, while IT majors, I will practice more and IDK you study more about networks
and another question: Do i need to study hardware if i want become software engineer because I don’t love hardware
Edit: OMG only 1M and you give me like I’m Famous now lol thanks a lot ♥️
Choose CS. It’s totally not a memorization subject as coding is not memorization. Also, u dont need hardware courses to become a software engineer. Just focus on software related courses (e.g. data structures and algorithms)
Thank you so much I know my way now 🥹♥️
smooth bg
Hey, pls I wanna ask if I can get a developer job while in school and also a remote jobs.
Try googling part-time or contractor jobs.
Hi, I really like your videos and I always try to watch them but it makes it difficult for me to understand what you are saying because of the little knowledge I have of English. Could you translate to put subtitles in Spanish in this one if it is not a problem for you? since I am very interested in this topic because I am young and I do not know whether to study or not. Thanks and greetings from Argentina
I have friends in Discord helping me translate my videos. It’s all done voluntarily so I can’t promise u, but I’ll upload the Spanish caption as soon as it’s available!
@@PIRATEKINGDOM I am going to be self taught
@@PIRATEKINGDOM hopefully I get a job in next 5 years
@@masternobody1896 hope all goes well!
Xd yo los leo con los títulos en inglés xd
is python good language or i should learn more language like html and java ????
Knowing multiple programming languages helps a lot. Check out my vid on the best programming language for u
@@PIRATEKINGDOM ok thank you i am in grade 12 so i just wanted to learn different languages so that it helps further
@@PIRATEKINGDOM thank you for replying 🙏
My community college and state college offer online associates and bachelors in software engineering
1:45 skillshare
Woops XD
Does the college u go to matter?
it helps especially in the early stages of your career. but in the long run, not really. as long as u can prove urself in work.
With a CS degree you will need to take an intense amount of Mathematics courses, yet in a self taught or boot camp you will not need to take any mathematics courses.
So who can tell me the advantage of understanding mathematics and how it relates to software development?
A lot of computer science fundamentals is based on mathematics. For instance, you can’t develop a game engine without knowledge in math. True, you don’t use it much in daily work, but CS as a subject is heavily dependent on math
Some colleges don't have soo much math, I only had math for one year(2 semestars). I am studying Computer engineering.
When I was still going school and wanted to pick the technology line, they told me no because it required a C grade in math. Which is.. pretty high... disappointed.

70% you have to or remaining 30% no
Good thing my degree costs like 4 thousand dollars lmao for 3 years. I'm from the balkans btw
I don't respect Microsoft. Everything that they make for Linux, MacOs platform has lots of bugs. Editor for Visual basic in Excel is a piece of sh*t. It supports only pixel character graphics & 2 colors. I can go on & on.
Hey man, not trying to diss your channel, just hoping to provide some constructive criticism.
To be honest, your production quality is there but there is pretty much no information in this video that hasn't been covered at least once by literally every other swe youtube channel. Granted, you do provide the information in a very clean and enjoyable manner, but I feel like a lot of viewers will be left with a sour taste in their mouth if they've watched similar videos.
