In the end, not only in IT. Every niche we come across all the social media platforms, from content creator's perspective, They are doing their Job, the trend of Hooks and CTA has gone soo worst that even if you genuinely wanted help people at the phase of marketing your skills or knowledge it feels miss leading.
Lol just because you are seeing a video about a person telling the basic thing which you would have also understood if you have used a little bit of brain you had. You think you are on a right path. Logo ko course beechna hai isliye yeh sab trend karta hai aur log khudka research karte nhi hai isliye agar koi banda aake unhe bolde ki yeh sab galat hai toh uska hi baat maan lenge. Ab kya guarantee hai ki yeh banda badme 2-3 saal ke baad course nhi beechega nhi bol sakte kuch bhi. Just focus on yourself and research on your own ki kya hai aslihahat aur kya nhi hai.
@@SidTheITGuy u got a new subscriber . I am a new cs student and these youtubers scared the crap out of me and they make everything so confusing . I feel overwhelmed at times watching their vids.
I rarely comment partly because revanced doesn't send me notifications about reply. But as someone who has 15+ year of experience in industry you are spot on. This had to be said. Kudos.
Great video. I made a video about it a while ago, but about a year ago I quit my job as a SWE to do content creation full time. I found that the more videos I did relating to careers in tech, the more disingenuous it was on my part. Switching my content to a more edu-tainment style has been the best thing for my channel. It means I can still code and do creative things. More so, it’s changed the way people see my content, people want to learn code through the videos that I make vs learn code through the claims that I make. I love honest reflections like these!
not getting rude and disrespectful to anyone, but i think we deserve this what is happening to us, especially in India, blindly following anyone, not cross-checking their ideas or suggestions, making them their bhaiya didi, dada and dadi. This trends is also going on in LinkedIn. So many influencers.
you are out of your guts to be honest , you need to understand that education is a business , everybody from youtubers to marketers to consumers everybody does business to make the business profitable , ngo kholke to betha nahi hai koi in colleges you are scammed of 12 lakh rupee fees that is a bigger scam than these tech youtubers, they are here to sell courses and they will sell it , that is a business and every company wants to do it , jise padhna hoga nahi pdhna hoga isse unka kya lena dena , its on your own intellect of what you do , giys like hitesh choudhary harkirat and these people also do business , and the one who follow loyally and gain education will get a job as simple is that
@@aditthapliyal5215 True, just because they are friendly, polite, informative and helpful doesn't mean that they'll do anything for you. Conversely just because they are helping you to a certain extent and not going all the way doesn't mean they are evil. This is all just business and there's nothing wrong with it.
@@sigmamard777 Bro, if you think a fresher should get 50lpa then it is really really tough. There are exceptions I know but how many? Gather experience in the industry and you will be at the 50lpa mark.
Many RUclipsrs emphasize focusing solely on DSA, claiming it's the backbone of software engineering, while neglecting other crucial subjects like computer networks, system design, operating systems, and DBMS. DSA is indeed important, but it's just one aspect among many in computer science that freshers should study.
Also the devspace is bad in indian youtubers , everybody is goin after full stack dev without even considering that for many freshers full stack might not even be a interesting which is why they might not get good at it . Other fields like iot , cloud , devops , system design are left behind and freshers soley focus on these full stack which leds to repeated projects
@manavkhandurie359 its not their problem its the problem of middle class in india , you need to understand that in any other field you cannot go cause its highly maintainable , Android you need a 16gb ram and a high end laptop in cloud and networking you need certifications worth 10000 , web dev is easiest
DSA is the most important metric in all high paying IT jobs. If you have done DSA and an internship on web/Android development etc, the rst of the small topics like DBMS, OS, CN can be covered in 1 month at max.
Finally someone called them out, I was so tired of constantly seeing this LPA job this Crore Remote job, glad to know I'm not the only one who felt this.

omg this video needs to get viral. You are spot on. Yesterday i was having a discussion with one of my friend about a 5 crore remote job guy on youtube and how it keeps bringing out courses every 4-5 months which cost 6k . mind u this guy makes 5crore from his Joblike he said and he keeps introducing courses. greed has no limit. That ezsnippet guy brings nothing to the table than his literal misogyny and superiority complex. Also none of these so called youtubers mention the 2020 covid boom and how companies were hiring , none of them mention that they got lucky as well. Majority of these youtubers are from good tier 1 colleges hence good college placement and then they make videos how they got that package not once they say its a low easier for on campus than off campus. THESE people then brings out their friends and then make PODCAST ABOUT HOW THEY SWITCHED FROM AMAZON TO UBER like seriously dude . INDIAN CODING CONTENT IS ALL ABOUT CTC , MONEY , REMOTE JOB , COURSES , DEVIN OR AI and selling dreams.
@@pabitra7556 literally all of his "stories" involve him trashing girls on some way like in one of his video he said how his ex came back and apologized and what not i mean all he ever does is try to show himself above his ex and girls. Not to mention all of his Instagram fame came with him putting dancing "girl" in the start of the video and then teaching how to centre a div Indian tech influencer 🤡lmao. Majority of his stories involve "his" friends trying to woe a girl. I mean for a guy who claims and preach so much about "kaam kro kaam kro" he sure has hell lot to time to talk with his friends about theirs stories. The guy literally yells in his videos "I'm a man I'm a man "😂 . Btw if all u took from my earlier comment about how he's misogynist and nothing else dude u need a reality check.
Very good video! I wanted to add, part of my bachelors requirement had me reviewing the software engineering skills gap. The bulk of the literature showed that the actual technical skills AREN'T that important to employers, they're concerned more about soft skills, how well you work with others, communication, teamwork, etc. It was a shock to me because everything you see/hear is about how to "upskill," but you really want to focus on developing good social skills. Spending all your time trying to improve your technical skills could actually be making it harder for you to find work if you neglect those social skills employers want. Cheers from the USA 🇺🇸
Why this world is so unfair. 😢 Why the big youtubers who are manipulating millions are looting our money and Why this guy who is awareing us have around 5K views. Love you Sid bro.❤
Instead of blaming youtubers, you should blame the colleges who are charging in lakhs and those students can't find job. It's equal responsibility of college and study to do their duties. You just can't solely blame on RUclipsrs.
This shit is real dude , I was preparing for 2 years , dsa and developement and when the placement season started , hardly 1-2 companies asked dsa , and that too very easy . in my pannel for interview , there were stuents who havent done anything and having KT as well. though they get selected I get rejected . 90% of luck is involved in the hiring process . but this people wont tell you this . Nice to see that someone is talking about this.
Indeed, you're correct. I recall discussing this matter with a friend employed at a prestigious IT company. He recounted an incident where they hired two individuals who successfully navigated interviews at major companies like Uber and Amazon, only to resign within four months due to underperformance. Despite receiving high ratings from interviewers, these candidates struggled in actual roles. It highlights a common trend where candidates focus solely on interview preparation, neglecting actual job performance. The most proficient software engineers aren't always those glorified as top 1 percent by RUclips coders.
Bro I need help , I'm starting new as a college student and I'm currently learning web development (basic) what should I focus on more so that I will be able to do a fine job when I join a company, i don't know what to do and I don't wanna waste these years doing something that wouldn't help me in any form
How is it a reaction if you already watched it?! Just make a response video. Cut out the parts where you don't add anything of value and put some effort into your videos
@@emty5526 I'm sorry but your argument doesn't make any sense. A reaction is still a reaction even if you watch it already. Reaction just means your thoughts about something that you can say. Watch it before, or don't, doesn't have anything to do with anything.
I am also in IT space and I openly accept that I don't want lakhs or crores of rupees as my salary not because I don't like the IT field. But because I know to be a good skilled software developer you need to have some level of DSA understanding and no matter what you say, I don't want to learn it, period. IT field is not just limited to writing codes, but it's also spanning outwards and making the navigation in the tech space easy for even kids. Anyways, I loved the way you spoke the truth and for this reason I know you deserve to be subscribed and followed.
im a high school dropout who was raised in the USA illegally. I did SE for 15 years before I bothered to learn DSA. India's obsession with DSA is due to your culture, not the reality of programming.
Wow its like u read my mind. I m also not interested in 50-60 LPA just enough to not suffer thats it. I like this field but dont like its monetization so much Programming is meant to make like easier for all of us not to turn this to massive business like most of youtuber do. I have seen so many people who make AI projects or whatever to impress recruiters but they rarely they tried to make something useful for even themselves. IKEA effect is really satisfying and big motivation to explore many things. About the DSA thing, i dont hate DSA even though i m bad at it. But one thing i truly hate is competitive coding as it destroys the essence of DSA.. CC is all about optimization or tricks to run certain function. That code may be optimized but may not be scalable or good enough to maintain. Companies ask questions and give coding problems related to it bcz its most convenient for them
@@agenticmarkthats damn true actually here in India students just come to cs with mindset of google and microsoft and just goes into dsa dsa and in the end they gets so much confused and under skilled in it field that they don't get other options to explore
Very well-made video. I would just like to address the parts about Tech with Tim and Fireship. Fireship often uses a heavy sarcasm in his video, so what might seem to be scare tactics on his part, he did - on multiple videos - expressed frustration with AI tools when trying to make something serious. He even has a video "5 reasons AI kinda suck". As for Tech with Tim, he has a video titled "I Was Wrong About ChatGPT Replacing Programmers," and there, he does admit that he got on the "AI will take our job" hype train in the beginning, but after multiple months of using AI tools, his perspectives have now changed. And this video I am talking about is not a YT Short, it is a full-length video of 8:51. But the points you make in this video are important. The best interests for RUclipsrs are that we keep watching, and to achieve that, they do sometimes resort to misleading tactics.
13:32 "There is nothing that I would change if I had to start over I would do it exactly the way that it happened for me in my journey because it makes me the person I am today"
@@_notME_77 nehi bhai ajkal new trend aaya hai RUclipsrs ka how x from tier 3 college landed a 50 lpa or 1 cr job after staring with 3.3 or 5 lpa and shifting within 5 years
Not even for a second I had thought of going back from this video! Truly Amazing. I mean whatever you said I was having exactly same thoughts about these youtubers but I was always doubtful of my thoughts since no one else was pointing out. One more thing that refrained me from thinking anything bad was, "The gratitude" that you spoke about. I was like: "My college wasn't teaching me a thing even after charging so much money but then their are these people who atleast gave me some path". But yes I would like to applaud you for you fierce take on these people, It takes balls to put your hand your hand directly on people with such fan-following. But man may me you could have experimented around the names. Since videos like these are really a treasure and these should persist for future coders. I hope nothing goes wrong with this video, no stupid strikes etc.
I've rarely seen RUclipsrs speaking so much truth in a single video. I've turned off my RUclips history and it has helped me avoid these types of videos. I was constantly bombarded with these types of videos earlier and it made me a bit anxious (even though I didn't watch them). I'm so glad that I'm on a better path currently. Thank you for this video.
man this is so true. I am actively interviewing fresher for my company, and so many of them just come after copying some project by these youtubers and then belive that they know everything and some of them even expected i would ask more of DSA questions than basic concepts of HTTP and web. Fear mongering is real
lol this is so relatable. knowing atleast one industry standard language is a must. if you don't know anything then what will the company pay you for from day 1 while you catch up. in any case we don't expect or trust trainees to solve the leetcoce level coding problems.
EzSnippet is the worst, bashes people who are trying to have fun in their lives, always talking about money, talking how you are a loser if you have an 8 LPA job, absolutely disgraceful.
I don't think he will bash you for your salary, but the mindset and satisfaction for example i saw someone with 18k monthly asking for advice and he was giving general advice
I was just roaming around and found this video. loved it! I guess why most people fall for this trap is that they don't know the road map. That is what happened to me too. (mind you that I never brought any course and you don't need to either.) RUclips already has soo many courses. So what is the road map to become a react developer? As I'm also in this journey to become a react developer. I finally found it. So what is it? Just go through mock interviews(in youtube or medium etc) and collect all the topics mentioned for react or for javascript or typescript) then start grilling youself theoretically. and builds projects on top of it(initially mini projects). One thing to keep in mind is that if you memorise you will forget, so keep on building things. Stack overflow is you friend. And DSA, well for that just take any DSA sheet(this days so many are available) and practice array and string problems. You obviously need to know linkedlist queue, stack and tree basics. It is not that complicated I realised that after actually trying. Write notes and keep on adding topics as you discover them. I recently started applying. So hope this helps. Amd wish me luck.
You are so so spot on! Tbh, it is highly discouraging too, for newbies as well as experienced people working in IT. The fear mongering especially is so intense that one feels defeated even before trying. They sell their content as if it is motivating, but it is exactly the opposite. When we are supposed to nurture someone's interest that can help in their career, it sucks to see a bunch of people just selling their misinformed opinions portraying themselves as the "best exceptional awesome 1% sde crowd" lol. Also, the php hate! Php can actually scale, FB, slack, wordpress etc. uses php lol. Thank you for making this video, really! This should really go viral!
Well you earned a new subscriber. I am also a college student. I do study from the free content they are providing but just don't believe in blindly buying their courses: even stopped following someone when i FELT their bhaiya didi drama rising and seeing them release a one time course then few months later a second version of the said "1 time course". I am indeed scared of how to actually get into the field and being bashed out of by someone who bought and did enough courses. I do feel extremely scared but there is a little to no content out there related to other things than DSA AND WEB DEV.... Right now i am one of the many sheep studying dsa from them. I will continue though cause it's indeed important but idk what i should do next cause web dev isn't seemingly that interesting and i am not into coding in bash either
@@nirjalayadav21 what kinda help do you want. Basic things which I guess might help you are just study DSA from babbar or strivers free course some things like dp recursion and some other topics are much better if you study from striver but rest depends on your own understanding... Further try to lookout which field you wanna go in like web network cloud cyber sec sde or whatever. Then side by side study for that... Doing only DSA won't help continue DSA till the end main things for job are the skills. Learn some skill side by side of doing DSA and don't buy stupid courses for DSA .

Spring's entire documentation is a mess. Who wants to target the niche (ppl who like java are probably already working with java and is a growing minority) when targeting javascript or go is guaranteed to produce more viewers.
Yes... I have seen a discussion about job opportunity for fresgers in MERN or java full stack... Many of developer voted 60% for java full Stacy which offers more opportunity to fathers compaare to MERN... But in RUclips it is showing only MERN
Why are you butthurt with mern stack? Mern stack do have good job market anywhere you work. Java is mostly used now in companies like barclays ,deutsche bank etc. many companies have started working on mern stack. Now talking about these 60lpa youtubers yeah i dont agree with them

I'd agree that the competition is fierce, and that's exactly where RUclipsrs swoop in and try to sell you courses/things. Exactly what I covered in the video.
These malpractices are now-a-days everywhere (They first overmotivate you them start selling you their courses ) it completely dominant Coaching/Tutorial industries
This same thing is going in the mentorship programs also. They take money , do over promise in the webminar, and then later don't reply to your messages.
This is one of the most honest and real videos in the RUclips swamp. Love this channel, thanks Sid. It's hard out there, really hard, not just for the intended audience. All the best ❤from Australia.
@@begthere3839 yes because now company can hire one senior and few low level developer that can create or fix something using AI. You should focus and have at least more then one hobby in your carrier otherwise after 3 years it will be very hard to survive.
Very cool video. I'm a researcher and I don't necessarily code too often but I have grown up watching these videos during my Bachelors and I can safely say - you're absolutely correct. I don't even aim to get a big IT job and I still fell for these videos thinking if I Master literally every single technology along with DSA - different tech stacks, devops, testing, security ....etc. there is I will become the top 1% and make the most money possible but that's not true. Shared your video with my juniors! You earned a subscriber.
As a software architect I would like to give aspirants a valuable advice to learn to decode the problems one step time. Learn the basics of whatever language you are working with. For frontend devs it is crucial that they know about TypeScript pretty well and learn to manipulate types, and CSS. For backend folks have a greater flexibility with raw SQL.
Ppl nowadays... 1.) Get a High Paying LPA job in MAANG 2.) Then making 10 - 15 videos how they landed the job. 3.) Then emphasis that how talented they are and they can help you in your career 4.) Then start creating courses, selling them, even creating a website to teach other ppl. 5.) Showcase their hidden talent that they always loved teaching when they are still naive and in their mid 20s.. 6.) And then finally when the hype is created and enough audience is attracted to their courses they resign from their jobs, gloryfying & justifying their idea of quitting the job.. In the END the ppl who suffer the most is the middle class hard working coders or job aspirants who get preyed by them. REALLY SICK OF HYPE VIDEOS SINCE A LONG TIME. Hats off to you @SidTheITGuy for speaking so boldly.😍😍😍
no nisahnt and fraz harmed .....plus they make these cringe emotional videos of how tough it was to leave their job and how they always were passionate to teach and how they will bring this revolution in the market ....its indian serials level melodrama
Saw the video. Some points were valid. I have been working on improving this and since last few months you won’t see a lot of these thumbnails or videos. However, I will work on the feedback! 💯
chalo nice to see atleast someone has the guts to handle criticism gracefully , just remember while each and every product is sold on promise of outcome , but lemme provide u a simple example , the chain marketing aka mlm ppl also sells dreams but then why are those dreams selling found harmful? Bcoz the main point here is exaggeration , sid never mentioned here that dont take courses or all courses is bad (infact he said that if find real value of your influencer's course without some promise of unreal returns then go for it ) but any course thats sold on the pretext of unreal marketing of selling highly utopian dreams is straight on immoral and wrong and you can love or hate or simply ignore ppl but being such an intelligent and talented guy i guess ppl like you , kirat and neeraj sud know in their heart thats wrong. Come on everyone knows how the indian middle class mentality is and how the youtube algo works , thats why you see all these financial influencial scammers who are not even registered under SEBI advocating for harmful stuff left and right and promoting them, both the financial influencers selling these crazy dreams of becoming rich and the ed tech influencers are doing wrong , atleast those idiots are mostly untalented fks but you guys are much better than that. I have high respect for kirat as he is someone who doesnt advocate for dsa too much or maang though the person who makes his titles and thumbnails are pure cringe and highly believe it doesnt suit his personality , i guess same goes to you , its high time you look at the thumbnails and titles before releasing the video as its said with great power comes great responsibility
I completely agree with your point! It's important to be critical of what you see online, especially when it comes to claims about making money fast. There are many resources available to learn coding for free, so do your research before investing in a paid course.
Great video my friend! I do coding as a hobby (or at least, I don't care to work for someone else) but still, calling out lies and people who try to take advantage of others is a big W!
This is so fucking good. As a senior dev who has lead several teams, both startups and corpo, there is no such thing as the 10x dev. Seriously, they don't exist, and wanting to be one is the best possible way to hamstring yourself with hyperspecialization and fucking up your career path.
Loved every bit of it, very mature prespective and every fresher needs to watch this video its a motivation to slow down, look back and be a better engineer. I have been in this rabbit hole of getting sucked into this YT coding culture and I did realize that it was not right the hard way, I just moved towards books, learning some new technology takes time and couple of YT videos cannot be a substitute for it. Learn old tech like C and gain deep understanding of things actually work this will make you appreciate the abstractions which new tech offers and understand it better, it takes time and effort, don't hurry, you don't have to build the next unicorn. I strongly feel in the long run money should not be the motivation upskilling should be, money will follow, just my opinion.
Really refreshing to see this take. Kinda felt called out as consumer of some of these but ig I needed it. I am very confused now to what to even pursue as a dev... everything seems saturated. I know a lot of roadmaps already exist but would like something that actual give me irl pointers instead of common same advice.

I completely agree with your video, and a lot of points on it man, but one thing that you are missing out is the fact that by saying that the IT industry is meritocracy based and that there exists a top 1% of coders. a lot of young people are being motivated to become the best version of themselves. Yes, it is completely true that there is no such metric to measure who are the top 1% and on what basis. But by considering a hypothetical top segment, a lot of people are able to exploit their full potential by the motivation that they can reach that tier. Which I think is one positive side of it. Also, the scenario in which a less skilled guy might get hired due to asking a lower wage is completely valid. But again, it’s a niched situation, so you cannot generalize that a guy with less merit will always be hired over a more deserving candidate. Even if such situation exists, in majority of cases, a better candidate is usually selected if they reach the final rounds, again exceptions are there as you already said. Initial rounds are kind of an if for either type depending on the firm. I am from IIT kharagpur, coding since sixth grade, developing websites since High school. Have significant experience in open source community. Highlighting these just to say that I didn’t take the course out of desperation for getting a job, or that I have problems in placement. But to show that I found the cohort 1 by Harkirat to be pretty good given the level of depth to which he went into individual topics, something that you rarely find in the low quality content available on RUclips by bhaiya didi YTers. Obviously, you can learn everything for free on the internet, but again the information is discrete. And not, everybody has the same level of adeptness at researching. Also, there are a lot of firms that visit our colleges like QuadEye, graviton, Tower Research capital, Jane street etc, which actually are great companies whose hiring process is completely based on meritocracy, with emphasis on computer science fundamentals, something that most bhaiya didi RUclipsrs who keep their scam going in the name of GSOC and development completely ignore (maybe because they themselves are incompetent at that level of depth). You are doing a good job, but what i feel is you should always place both sides of the coin. On one side, there is no such crazy metric as 1% club and not everything is merit based, but on the other side, being a highly skilled and knowledgeable coder actually pays in the long run. As India is any way slowly becoming famous to the world for polluting opensource due large pool of low quality engineers.
Great insight! I can imagine how this video can be eye-opening for many NPC students falling in the trap. Good to see someone finally make a video on it. Bashing PHP part was also very accurate...doesn't get enough spotlight.

So i recently watched a video where a youtuber is explaining his perspective to get started in the field (not CS) but i followed and liked it in a reverse order of what he said, I mean i respect his experience but what i think is everyone is viewing the world in their perspective and as a viewer we must be conscious enough to notice that and don't take everything personally but instead try and test the task ourselves first and i advice everyone to do the same in the CS field too, your perspective and your reality counts at the end of the day! Instead of blindly following the narrative we instead should research something on our end. Thank you for making this video and giving a reality check
@Sid The IT Guy I agree with you. As new students enter the IT field, they often watch RUclipsrs' videos where they only discuss the pros. They don't mention what you actually need apart from this and that. It's shameful that today education has been reduced to just a business.
This feels like it was made for me... Over the last year I've gone through each of these channels one by one in phases and literally been binging theprimetime since like last 1-2 weeks and the amount of knowledge I gained and genuine fun I had even in hour long videos is something I've not experienced before
Also I'm not just mindlessly binging everyone, I'm exploring all fields coz I had no idea just how many things are there in comp sci, most Indian code feed is in an infinite loop of which language to choose, this student got this salary qna, and as u said beginner Java, web dev courses..
As a software developer from a non-IT background who grinded for years to get into this field, there are couple of things which no one talk about: LUCK and JOB availability. Luck plays a very critical role in the job hiring process including getting the right vaccany info at right time with right timing for incoming new projects to get hired easily and vice versa when projects are canceled or delayed. One need to really grind hard in initial stages and only after certain period of life the career looks very promising and till that date, its a hectic hexausting dead loop of what i am doing, i dont belong here, etc.
Thank you Sid. That's all I needed, someone to break the code and help me break out of my vicious cycle I got myself into since 2019. 2023 I think I became sick emotionally, feeling like something is wrong with the tech world. Why I couldn't get a job after 2 years of studying frontend development. Now I know why I feel like that guy in the sixth sense movie, the one who shouted at Bruce Willis " I want what you promised me"
Never had a Sofware Developer job, have been self-teaching for the last 3 years and built many applications for my portfolio and felt ready, when I got to my first interview I forgot how to program and had to improvise on very simple coding challenges, I didn't get the job and it was a shame because the interviewer liked me and seemed like we got along. I stopped applying for jobs after that interview and focused on learning what I should have learned first, the fundamentals networks, operating systems, algorithms , data structures and design patterns. I haven't surrender because last year I remember that I felt in love with coding despite the fact I dropped out of college to pursue this career mainly for the money and I know it's too late to regret that decision. All that said, I see how the world and the industry is going and i'm really just thinking to also learn a blue collar skill, garnering or electrician, or something more niche.
Finally, someone who made everyone realize that programming is not just HTML CSS JS DSA and much-needed video, all these juniors were just getting manipulated by such RUclipsrs so easily and later getting confused about what the hell to do after buying so many courses I have seen many thanks for this video, and about that AI hype lol youtubers who didn't knew about AI were making videos about it like they have a degree in those, very finely exposed GG
Excellent video! That's what RUclips has become: 5% of content guides you to the true path, while the rest pushes you to buy things you don't need or use! Control people emotions is very powerful, FEAR and GREED are really strong drivers!
RUclips contents were never about money if you go back 10 to 15 years of the youtube space. It was always about portraying the skills in the form of video content. It is recently everything has become about money and showing off. And because of them many beginner students are in deep frustration not about understanding of a topic of a particular skill but on the fact that they are not earning that much. Its really scary
I recently taught a lesson to one such youtuber nishant chahar. Who was literally showing me his attitude that he pays tax as my salary and challenged me for salary screenshots. Once he got to know about me that i earn double of what he earns he literally stopped replying and started deleting comments where we discussed all this but luckily i took all the screenshots. These RUclips didi bhaiya has ego like a mountain. They dont understand that there is vast majority of people who are much more higher than them.
bhai good to see your video...inka raita bahut faila hua tha...saaf karna jaruri h...their videos impacts the upcoming generation...so reality check chahiye tha..thanks for the video...keep up the good work..
Thank you. I think we need the reminder that "No one knows what they are doing." It also seems as though the youtubers come from a society where it has become the norm to speak on your opinions as though they are fact. I know when I was growing up and learning tech, the people in my life who had authority regularly dismissed many of my preliminary approaches to things and spoke on what they knew as though it was not only more sound, but somehow timeless. I think one of the reasons these youtubers are so successful at the tactics you mentioned is because normal people are bombarded by these same tactics in so many other places. Until you get in the field, everything on the inside is a mystery. And that extends from the work itself to the technologies. Documentation seems to be a known issue for many parts of tech. This unnecessarily big void of unknowns can really make it seem as though we need someone to help guide us through. But I think that's what we keep forgetting. The is big void is big. It's so big in fact that no one person can map everything out. You must journey through it to get anywhere in the field and to, like you said, make your own path. The youtubers have to face the big void at as well. But we forget that what they say is based on what they saw. And what they saw is based on the snapshots they are able to get when they have access to their portion of the void. Sorry for rambling. This video says everything I want to say but that the people I know won't listen to.
This video is probably not relevant to me since I'm from one of the top 7 IITs, i just follow these techfluencers to upskill myself as i already know I'll have various opportunities because of the IIT tag. I was a tier3 college student before and realised tag also matters along with skill. So you are right, these techfluencers are lying if you don't have a good college tag or good skillset beforehand itself
@@iamrobot396 yea so, tera hua? 50% got placed, and in 2 years situation will be better, besides i have enough dev knowledge to get a job rn, just going for the tag, cope harder Also, that 50% thing was debunked, go check the official stats than listening to some heresay
10:27 i agree 100% people get their first job with PHP and yet tell junior developers to stay away from it and promote their current stack after they have 5+ years in the industry... horrible advice... because then the new developers miss out the opportunity to get in the industry with php where they can probably find more results.
Trying not to backbite but some tech influencers like ezsnippet who say it is a must to be in top 1% in order to survive in the tech field can be really demotivating for people like those who are just starting their career
But it's little bit true also it field is so much overcrowded many people comes into also some of them from commerce and arts background so it's necessary to be in top 1% also na bro
@@Ayush23rt4 u may be right it's somewhat overcrowded however people who are unable to get job would likely be in top 50% so u can get job even by being top 30%, but as said in the video top x% is not a proper metric to measure software developers rank so we are being hypothetical right now and making assumptions. Keep in mind entire software field is not overcrowded, there is shortage of C# developers in US and in India it's balanced, what is overcrowded is whatever that is hyped like MERN Stack is extremely overcrowded, data science is heavily overcrowded but mobile app development is not that overcrowded. Keep in mind Engineering is still a field which gives much more and way high paying jobs in India compared to Commerce and Humanities, most ppl from normal university graduated from commerce degree in India get sales position which is not enjoyable and often low paying and really hard working but an engineer graduated from normal university has much more opportunities for high paying jobs. Also our country India has a really really bad problem of unemployment
@@Ayush23rt4first of all, software engineering skill is not a one dimensional scale. There is no such thing as rating points like in sports (chess, etc.). Thus, claiming there is a top 1% does not make sense. Second of all, why would only 1% of software engineers survive? There are for sure way more jobs than 0.01 times number of software engineers.
@@drakey6617 but in this competition its necessary to be one of skilled software engineer and there are n number of skilled and talented software engineer so it's important to be in that top percentage so we can get into big companies
Man, this video is such a breath of fresh air. I totally agree with you that you are what you are because of experiences that you went through. We learn by doing which is most necessary when doing software. If you don't make mistakes, you will never learn. If you make mistakes and you spend 1 day or 1 week trying to rectify that problem, you will learn not to repeat such a thing again. Mistakes make you better. This is what Primeagen says as well. Everyone you can do a task if you tell them how to do it and what steps to take, but if you only tell them to do this task, figure out how to do it on your own. The latter will teach you things that the former wouldn't be able to teach you in over a year. Love you for saying this man.
Appreciate the honesty in this video, and you calling out this entire space of influencers and semi-scammers in it. Hope it will go viral in that segment of RUclips and open up a conversation that long overdue, but it probably won't because then the people you're calling out would have to actually address the valid critiques you're providing.
1:10 there are genuine ones too in the list like Aryan Singh and Parikh Jain specially. But anyways, just my POV after consuming their content as it's better than other office tour and roadmap videos. Aryan's most videos are brutally honest like THIS ONE ALSO IS (current video)

Great video. I made a video about it a while ago, but about a year ago I quit my job as a SWE to do content creation full time. I found that the more videos I did relating to careers in tech, the more disingenuous it was on my part.
Switching my content to a more edu-tainment style has been the best thing for my channel. It means I can still code and do creative things.
More so, it’s changed the way people see my content, people want to learn code through the videos that I make vs learn code through the claims that I make.
I love honest reflections like these!

Many RUclipsrs emphasize focusing solely on DSA, claiming it's the backbone of software engineering, while neglecting other crucial subjects like computer networks, system design, operating systems, and DBMS. DSA is indeed important, but it's just one aspect among many in computer science that freshers should study.
Exactly, Thank you for pointing this out. I missed it, damn.
Also the devspace is bad in indian youtubers , everybody is goin after full stack dev without even considering that for many freshers full stack might not even be a interesting which is why they might not get good at it . Other fields like iot , cloud , devops , system design are left behind and freshers soley focus on these full stack which leds to repeated projects
@manavkhandurie359 its not their problem its the problem of middle class in india , you need to understand that in any other field you cannot go cause its highly maintainable , Android you need a 16gb ram and a high end laptop in cloud and networking you need certifications worth 10000 , web dev is easiest
DSA is the most important metric in all high paying IT jobs. If you have done DSA and an internship on web/Android development etc, the rst of the small topics like DBMS, OS, CN can be covered in 1 month at max.

That ezsnippet guy brings nothing to the table than his literal misogyny and superiority complex. Also none of these so called youtubers mention the 2020 covid boom and how companies were hiring , none of them mention that they got lucky as well. Majority of these youtubers are from good tier 1 colleges hence good college placement and then they make videos how they got that package not once they say its a low easier for on campus than off campus. THESE people then brings out their friends and then make PODCAST ABOUT HOW THEY SWITCHED FROM AMAZON TO UBER like seriously dude .

Very good video!
I wanted to add, part of my bachelors requirement had me reviewing the software engineering skills gap. The bulk of the literature showed that the actual technical skills AREN'T that important to employers, they're concerned more about soft skills, how well you work with others, communication, teamwork, etc.
It was a shock to me because everything you see/hear is about how to "upskill," but you really want to focus on developing good social skills. Spending all your time trying to improve your technical skills could actually be making it harder for you to find work if you neglect those social skills employers want.

Indeed, you're correct. I recall discussing this matter with a friend employed at a prestigious IT company. He recounted an incident where they hired two individuals who successfully navigated interviews at major companies like Uber and Amazon, only to resign within four months due to underperformance. Despite receiving high ratings from interviewers, these candidates struggled in actual roles. It highlights a common trend where candidates focus solely on interview preparation, neglecting actual job performance. The most proficient software engineers aren't always those glorified as top 1 percent by RUclips coders.

I am also in IT space and I openly accept that I don't want lakhs or crores of rupees as my salary not because I don't like the IT field. But because I know to be a good skilled software developer you need to have some level of DSA understanding and no matter what you say, I don't want to learn it, period. IT field is not just limited to writing codes, but it's also spanning outwards and making the navigation in the tech space easy for even kids. Anyways, I loved the way you spoke the truth and for this reason I know you deserve to be subscribed and followed.
im a high school dropout who was raised in the USA illegally. I did SE for 15 years before I bothered to learn DSA. India's obsession with DSA is due to your culture, not the reality of programming.
Wow its like u read my mind. I m also not interested in 50-60 LPA just enough to not suffer thats it. I like this field but dont like its monetization so much Programming is meant to make like easier for all of us not to turn this to massive business like most of youtuber do. I have seen so many people who make AI projects or whatever to impress recruiters but they rarely they tried to make something useful for even themselves. IKEA effect is really satisfying and big motivation to explore many things.
About the DSA thing, i dont hate DSA even though i m bad at it. But one thing i truly hate is competitive coding as it destroys the essence of DSA.. CC is all about optimization or tricks to run certain function. That code may be optimized but may not be scalable or good enough to maintain. Companies ask questions and give coding problems related to it bcz its most convenient for them
@@agenticmarkthats damn true actually here in India students just come to cs with mindset of google and microsoft and just goes into dsa dsa and in the end they gets so much confused and under skilled in it field that they don't get other options to explore
Awesome brother, we need this kind of truth
Very well-made video. I would just like to address the parts about Tech with Tim and Fireship. Fireship often uses a heavy sarcasm in his video, so what might seem to be scare tactics on his part, he did - on multiple videos - expressed frustration with AI tools when trying to make something serious. He even has a video "5 reasons AI kinda suck". As for Tech with Tim, he has a video titled "I Was Wrong About ChatGPT Replacing Programmers," and there, he does admit that he got on the "AI will take our job" hype train in the beginning, but after multiple months of using AI tools, his perspectives have now changed. And this video I am talking about is not a YT Short, it is a full-length video of 8:51.
But the points you make in this video are important. The best interests for RUclipsrs are that we keep watching, and to achieve that, they do sometimes resort to misleading tactics.

I mean whatever you said I was having exactly same thoughts about these youtubers but I was always doubtful of my thoughts since no one else was pointing out. One more thing that refrained me from thinking anything bad was, "The gratitude" that you spoke about. I was like: "My college wasn't teaching me a thing even after charging so much money but then their are these people who atleast gave me some path".
But yes I would like to applaud you for you fierce take on these people, It takes balls to put your hand your hand directly on people with such fan-following. But man may me you could have experimented around the names. Since videos like these are really a treasure and these should persist for future coders.

Pretty true. Most businesses targetting the entry-level and not the intermediate or advanced was spot on.
I was just roaming around and found this video.
loved it!
I guess why most people fall for this trap is that they don't know the road map.
That is what happened to me too.
(mind you that I never brought any course and you don't need to either.) RUclips already has soo many courses.
So what is the road map to become a react developer? As I'm also in this journey to become a react developer. I finally found it. So what is it?
Just go through mock interviews(in youtube or medium etc) and collect all the topics mentioned for react or for javascript or typescript) then start grilling youself theoretically. and builds projects on top of it(initially mini projects). One thing to keep in mind is that if you memorise you will forget, so keep on building things. Stack overflow is you friend.
And DSA, well for that just take any DSA sheet(this days so many are available) and practice array and string problems. You obviously need to know linkedlist queue, stack and tree basics. It is not that complicated I realised that after actually trying.
Write notes and keep on adding topics as you discover them.
I recently started applying. So hope this helps.
Amd wish me luck.
You've got the right attitude. Best of luck my guy.
Thanks alot but ended up buying a course two days before 😢
You are so so spot on! Tbh, it is highly discouraging too, for newbies as well as experienced people working in IT. The fear mongering especially is so intense that one feels defeated even before trying. They sell their content as if it is motivating, but it is exactly the opposite. When we are supposed to nurture someone's interest that can help in their career, it sucks to see a bunch of people just selling their misinformed opinions portraying themselves as the "best exceptional awesome 1% sde crowd" lol. Also, the php hate! Php can actually scale, FB, slack, wordpress etc. uses php lol.

Doing only DSA won't help continue DSA till the end main things for job are the skills. Learn some skill side by side of doing DSA and don't buy stupid courses for DSA .

Some influencers are going to lose few thousand subscribers 🤣🤣🤣. Subscribed!!!
Even RUclips is fully fludded with MERN stack courses. No one wants to make a course on Java Full Stack
Spring's entire documentation is a mess. Who wants to target the niche (ppl who like java are probably already working with java and is a growing minority) when targeting javascript or go is guaranteed to produce more viewers.
Yes... I have seen a discussion about job opportunity for fresgers in MERN or java full stack... Many of developer voted 60% for java full Stacy which offers more opportunity to fathers compaare to MERN... But in RUclips it is showing only MERN
Bro from where I can learn Java full stack development? I have been fooled into learning mern stack
Why are you butthurt with mern stack? Mern stack do have good job market anywhere you work. Java is mostly used now in companies like barclays ,deutsche bank etc. many companies have started working on mern stack. Now talking about these 60lpa youtubers yeah i dont agree with them
@@vikk1249 sorry me.Vikki.. I didn't offended MERN Stack.. MERN has a tremendous application in startups.. I know it.. But what I am trying to say is both java and MERN Stack is giant... Java good for enterprise level app and MERN used in startups... But whenever I wabt to learn java spring boot.. My friends don t encourage me... So that i am commented like that...

I'd agree that the competition is fierce, and that's exactly where RUclipsrs swoop in and try to sell you courses/things. Exactly what I covered in the video.

I have been thinking same from past few months. Happy to see that you came up and talked about it.
This same thing is going in the mentorship programs also. They take money , do over promise in the webminar, and then later don't reply to your messages.
Which mentorship you joined?

Very cool video. I'm a researcher and I don't necessarily code too often but I have grown up watching these videos during my Bachelors and I can safely say - you're absolutely correct. I don't even aim to get a big IT job and I still fell for these videos thinking if I Master literally every single technology along with DSA - different tech stacks, devops, testing, security ....etc. there is I will become the top 1% and make the most money possible but that's not true. Shared your video with my juniors! You earned a subscriber.
As a software architect I would like to give aspirants a valuable advice to learn to decode the problems one step time. Learn the basics of whatever language you are working with. For frontend devs it is crucial that they know about TypeScript pretty well and learn to manipulate types, and CSS. For backend folks have a greater flexibility with raw SQL.
Hi sir, wht does raw sql mean?
@@indiccause2506 SQL without any ORM tool like Hibermate, GORM, ActiveRecords, Prisma or even Drizel.
2:40 This is really a truth.
Ppl nowadays...
1.) Get a High Paying LPA job in MAANG
2.) Then making 10 - 15 videos how they landed the job.
3.) Then emphasis that how talented they are and they can help you in your career
4.) Then start creating courses, selling them, even creating a website to teach other ppl.
5.) Showcase their hidden talent that they always loved teaching when they are still naive and in their mid 20s..
6.) And then finally when the hype is created and enough audience is attracted to their courses they resign from their jobs, gloryfying & justifying their idea of quitting the job..
In the END the ppl who suffer the most is the middle class hard working coders or job aspirants who get preyed by them.
REALLY SICK OF HYPE VIDEOS SINCE A LONG TIME.
Hats off to you @SidTheITGuy for speaking so boldly.😍😍😍
This exactly describes Cs Didi
no nishant is harmed in this comment XD
Apna college 😂😂
no nisahnt and fraz harmed .....plus they make these cringe emotional videos of how tough it was to leave their job and how they always were passionate to teach and how they will bring this revolution in the market ....its indian serials level melodrama
You forgot to mention that only due to college placement 😊
Saw the video.
Some points were valid.
I have been working on improving this and since last few months you won’t see a lot of these thumbnails or videos.
However, I will work on the feedback! 💯
Wow Nishant, a reasonable influencer that didn't freak out and accepted the feedback?? That's rare these days.
chalo nice to see atleast someone has the guts to handle criticism gracefully , just remember while each and every product is sold on promise of outcome , but lemme provide u a simple example , the chain marketing aka mlm ppl also sells dreams but then why are those dreams selling found harmful? Bcoz the main point here is exaggeration , sid never mentioned here that dont take courses or all courses is bad (infact he said that if find real value of your influencer's course without some promise of unreal returns then go for it ) but any course thats sold on the pretext of unreal marketing of selling highly utopian dreams is straight on immoral and wrong and you can love or hate or simply ignore ppl but being such an intelligent and talented guy i guess ppl like you , kirat and neeraj sud know in their heart thats wrong. Come on everyone knows how the indian middle class mentality is and how the youtube algo works , thats why you see all these financial influencial scammers who are not even registered under SEBI advocating for harmful stuff left and right and promoting them, both the financial influencers selling these crazy dreams of becoming rich and the ed tech influencers are doing wrong , atleast those idiots are mostly untalented fks but you guys are much better than that. I have high respect for kirat as he is someone who doesnt advocate for dsa too much or maang though the person who makes his titles and thumbnails are pure cringe and highly believe it doesnt suit his personality , i guess same goes to you , its high time you look at the thumbnails and titles before releasing the video as its said with great power comes great responsibility
that was before I saw how Nishant truly behaves like. Now i know at least he is one of the good ones.
Ok ok I am deleting that comment @@SidTheITGuy
@NishantChahar At least you won as a sensible guy.
Thumbnail actually is one of the main factor for getting views , bytheway the content is pretty dope.
I completely agree with your point! It's important to be critical of what you see online, especially when it comes to claims about making money fast. There are many resources available to learn coding for free, so do your research before investing in a paid course.
Great message here, Sid! Fully sign every word you say. You've got character, man!
You are such an honest IT guy. You really motivated me to learn coding more now
Im happy to hear that.
I'm glad you are aware about this fools.
So few people in the internet who speak truth. More power to you, man!
Loved the way, how with such innocent face you smashed the fake influencers. Flower nahi fire ho aap. Well done
subscribed, because of the honesty and truth in your statements.
I appreciate it. Thanks Hitesh.
Great video my friend! I do coding as a hobby (or at least, I don't care to work for someone else) but still, calling out lies and people who try to take advantage of others is a big W!
Thank u. You deserve atleast a million subs
Wow, you just made my day. Thank you so much for the nice words.
Yes trueee
People peddling fake hopes will get a million subscribers, people telling the truth. will never will.
Openly exposing almost every youtubers from tech field. Hats off brother!
They quit from FANG and they sell courses to crack FANG , hyprocracy at peaks !!
Your comforting words have soothed countless souls, spreading warmth and reassurance.
That was the intent. Im thankful you got the message.
This is so fucking good. As a senior dev who has lead several teams, both startups and corpo, there is no such thing as the 10x dev. Seriously, they don't exist, and wanting to be one is the best possible way to hamstring yourself with hyperspecialization and fucking up your career path.
Loved every bit of it, very mature prespective and every fresher needs to watch this video its a motivation to slow down, look back and be a better engineer.
I have been in this rabbit hole of getting sucked into this YT coding culture and I did realize that it was not right the hard way, I just moved towards books, learning some new technology takes time and couple of YT videos cannot be a substitute for it. Learn old tech like C and gain deep understanding of things actually work this will make you appreciate the abstractions which new tech offers and understand it better, it takes time and effort, don't hurry, you don't have to build the next unicorn. I strongly feel in the long run money should not be the motivation upskilling should be, money will follow, just my opinion.
Thank you so much ❤️
Really refreshing to see this take.
Kinda felt called out as consumer of some of these but ig I needed it.
I am very confused now to what to even pursue as a dev... everything seems saturated. I know a lot of roadmaps already exist but would like something that actual give me irl pointers instead of common same advice.
@imsurya... wrote this in previous comments. hope this will help you.
"I guess why most people fall for this trap is that they don't know the road map.
That is what happened to me too.
(mind you that I never brought any course and you don't need to either.) RUclips already has soo many courses.
So what is the road map to become a react developer? As I'm also in this journey to become a react developer. I finally found it. So what is it?
Just go through mock interviews(in youtube or medium etc) and collect all the topics mentioned for react or for javascript or typescript) then start grilling youself theoretically. and builds projects on top of it(initially mini projects). One thing to keep in mind is that if you memorise you will forget, so keep on building things. Stack overflow is you friend.
And DSA, well for that just take any DSA sheet(this days so many are available) and practice array and string problems. You obviously need to know linkedlist queue, stack and tree basics. It is not that complicated I realised that after actually trying.
Write notes and keep on adding topics as you discover them.
I recently started applying. So hope this helps. "
FACTS STRAIGHT FACTS WHOLE VIDEO YOU DESERVE THE MILLIONS OF SUBS NOT THOSE OTHER GUYS
I completely agree with your video, and a lot of points on it man, but one thing that you are missing out is the fact that by saying that the IT industry is meritocracy based and that there exists a top 1% of coders. a lot of young people are being motivated to become the best version of themselves. Yes, it is completely true that there is no such metric to measure who are the top 1% and on what basis. But by considering a hypothetical top segment, a lot of people are able to exploit their full potential by the motivation that they can reach that tier. Which I think is one positive side of it. Also, the scenario in which a less skilled guy might get hired due to asking a lower wage is completely valid. But again, it’s a niched situation, so you cannot generalize that a guy with less merit will always be hired over a more deserving candidate. Even if such situation exists, in majority of cases, a better candidate is usually selected if they reach the final rounds, again exceptions are there as you already said. Initial rounds are kind of an if for either type depending on the firm. I am from IIT kharagpur, coding since sixth grade, developing websites since High school. Have significant experience in open source community. Highlighting these just to say that I didn’t take the course out of desperation for getting a job, or that I have problems in placement. But to show that I found the cohort 1 by Harkirat to be pretty good given the level of depth to which he went into individual topics, something that you rarely find in the low quality content available on RUclips by bhaiya didi YTers. Obviously, you can learn everything for free on the internet, but again the information is discrete. And not, everybody has the same level of adeptness at researching. Also, there are a lot of firms that visit our colleges like QuadEye, graviton, Tower Research capital, Jane street etc, which actually are great companies whose hiring process is completely based on meritocracy, with emphasis on computer science fundamentals, something that most bhaiya didi RUclipsrs who keep their scam going in the name of GSOC and development completely ignore (maybe because they themselves are incompetent at that level of depth). You are doing a good job, but what i feel is you should always place both sides of the coin. On one side, there is no such crazy metric as 1% club and not everything is merit based, but on the other side, being a highly skilled and knowledgeable coder actually pays in the long run. As India is any way slowly becoming famous to the world for polluting opensource due large pool of low quality engineers.
Great insight! I can imagine how this video can be eye-opening for many NPC students falling in the trap. Good to see someone finally make a video on it. Bashing PHP part was also very accurate...doesn't get enough spotlight.
Npc what
@@afreenbanu13667 Its a term commonly used for people who do not have their own thought process and act according to others/society's beliefs and rules...
1:38 this part right here applies to so many things in life. They make you blame yourself then they convice you to buy more into their product.
So i recently watched a video where a youtuber is explaining his perspective to get started in the field (not CS) but i followed and liked it in a reverse order of what he said, I mean i respect his experience but what i think is everyone is viewing the world in their perspective and as a viewer we must be conscious enough to notice that and don't take everything personally but instead try and test the task ourselves first and i advice everyone to do the same in the CS field too, your perspective and your reality counts at the end of the day! Instead of blindly following the narrative we instead should research something on our end. Thank you for making this video and giving a reality check
Thank you so much for the kind words
Damn I didn’t expect this much wisdom from a random video that popped on my feed.
@Sid The IT Guy
I agree with you. As new students enter the IT field, they often watch RUclipsrs' videos where they only discuss the pros. They don't mention what you actually need apart from this and that. It's shameful that today education has been reduced to just a business.
This feels like it was made for me... Over the last year I've gone through each of these channels one by one in phases and literally been binging theprimetime since like last 1-2 weeks and the amount of knowledge I gained and genuine fun I had even in hour long videos is something I've not experienced before
Also I'm not just mindlessly binging everyone, I'm exploring all fields coz I had no idea just how many things are there in comp sci, most Indian code feed is in an infinite loop of which language to choose, this student got this salary qna, and as u said beginner Java, web dev courses..
As a software developer from a non-IT background who grinded for years to get into this field, there are couple of things which no one talk about: LUCK and JOB availability. Luck plays a very critical role in the job hiring process including getting the right vaccany info at right time with right timing for incoming new projects to get hired easily and vice versa when projects are canceled or delayed. One need to really grind hard in initial stages and only after certain period of life the career looks very promising and till that date, its a hectic hexausting dead loop of what i am doing, i dont belong here, etc.
Thank you Sid. That's all I needed, someone to break the code and help me break out of my vicious cycle I got myself into since 2019. 2023 I think I became sick emotionally, feeling like something is wrong with the tech world. Why I couldn't get a job after 2 years of studying frontend development. Now I know why I feel like that guy in the sixth sense movie, the one who shouted at Bruce Willis " I want what you promised me"
Never had a Sofware Developer job, have been self-teaching for the last 3 years and built many applications for my portfolio and felt ready, when I got to my first interview I forgot how to program and had to improvise on very simple coding challenges, I didn't get the job and it was a shame because the interviewer liked me and seemed like we got along. I stopped applying for jobs after that interview and focused on learning what I should have learned first, the fundamentals networks, operating systems, algorithms , data structures and design patterns. I haven't surrender because last year I remember that I felt in love with coding despite the fact I dropped out of college to pursue this career mainly for the money and I know it's too late to regret that decision. All that said, I see how the world and the industry is going and i'm really just thinking to also learn a blue collar skill, garnering or electrician, or something more niche.
What a great perspective . Applaud ur work boss 👏
Thank God a real engineer stopping these fakes that monetize instead of telling the truth smh.
Finally, someone who made everyone realize that programming is not just HTML CSS JS DSA and much-needed video, all these juniors were just getting manipulated by such RUclipsrs so easily and later getting confused about what the hell to do after buying so many courses I have seen many thanks for this video, and about that AI hype lol youtubers who didn't knew about AI were making videos about it like they have a degree in those, very finely exposed GG
Really eye opening. Great work man!!
Excellent video! That's what RUclips has become: 5% of content guides you to the true path, while the rest pushes you to buy things you don't need or use! Control people emotions is very powerful, FEAR and GREED are really strong drivers!
most legit video i've seen so far on current IT space....glad to hear u
RUclips contents were never about money if you go back 10 to 15 years of the youtube space. It was always about portraying the skills in the form of video content. It is recently everything has become about money and showing off. And because of them many beginner students are in deep frustration not about understanding of a topic of a particular skill but on the fact that they are not earning that much. Its really scary
I recently taught a lesson to one such youtuber nishant chahar. Who was literally showing me his attitude that he pays tax as my salary and challenged me for salary screenshots. Once he got to know about me that i earn double of what he earns he literally stopped replying and started deleting comments where we discussed all this but luckily i took all the screenshots. These RUclips didi bhaiya has ego like a mountain. They dont understand that there is vast majority of people who are much more higher than them.

bhai good to see your video...inka raita bahut faila hua tha...saaf karna jaruri h...their videos impacts the upcoming generation...so reality check chahiye tha..thanks for the video...keep up the good work..
Thank you. I think we need the reminder that "No one knows what they are doing." It also seems as though the youtubers come from a society where it has become the norm to speak on your opinions as though they are fact. I know when I was growing up and learning tech, the people in my life who had authority regularly dismissed many of my preliminary approaches to things and spoke on what they knew as though it was not only more sound, but somehow timeless.
I think one of the reasons these youtubers are so successful at the tactics you mentioned is because normal people are bombarded by these same tactics in so many other places. Until you get in the field, everything on the inside is a mystery. And that extends from the work itself to the technologies. Documentation seems to be a known issue for many parts of tech.
This unnecessarily big void of unknowns can really make it seem as though we need someone to help guide us through. But I think that's what we keep forgetting. The is big void is big. It's so big in fact that no one person can map everything out. You must journey through it to get anywhere in the field and to, like you said, make your own path.
The youtubers have to face the big void at as well. But we forget that what they say is based on what they saw. And what they saw is based on the snapshots they are able to get when they have access to their portion of the void.
Sorry for rambling. This video says everything I want to say but that the people I know won't listen to.
This video is probably not relevant to me since I'm from one of the top 7 IITs, i just follow these techfluencers to upskill myself as i already know I'll have various opportunities because of the IIT tag. I was a tier3 college student before and realised tag also matters along with skill. So you are right, these techfluencers are lying if you don't have a good college tag or good skillset beforehand itself
are you doing MTech from the Top 7 IITs?
50 % of IIT Bombay Cs group didn't get placed this year lmao
Mtech ya phir partial drop liye the?
@@iamrobot396where did you learn those stats
@@iamrobot396 yea so, tera hua? 50% got placed, and in 2 years situation will be better, besides i have enough dev knowledge to get a job rn, just going for the tag, cope harder
Also, that 50% thing was debunked, go check the official stats than listening to some heresay
10:27 i agree 100% people get their first job with PHP and yet tell junior developers to stay away from it and promote their current stack after they have 5+ years in the industry... horrible advice... because then the new developers miss out the opportunity to get in the industry with php where they can probably find more results.
Trying not to backbite but some tech influencers like ezsnippet who say it is a must to be in top 1% in order to survive in the tech field can be really demotivating for people like those who are just starting their career
exactly, ikr
But it's little bit true also it field is so much overcrowded many people comes into also some of them from commerce and arts background so it's necessary to be in top 1% also na bro
@@Ayush23rt4 u may be right it's somewhat overcrowded however people who are unable to get job would likely be in top 50% so u can get job even by being top 30%, but as said in the video top x% is not a proper metric to measure software developers rank so we are being hypothetical right now and making assumptions. Keep in mind entire software field is not overcrowded, there is shortage of C# developers in US and in India it's balanced, what is overcrowded is whatever that is hyped like MERN Stack is extremely overcrowded, data science is heavily overcrowded but mobile app development is not that overcrowded. Keep in mind Engineering is still a field which gives much more and way high paying jobs in India compared to Commerce and Humanities, most ppl from normal university graduated from commerce degree in India get sales position which is not enjoyable and often low paying and really hard working but an engineer graduated from normal university has much more opportunities for high paying jobs. Also our country India has a really really bad problem of unemployment
@@Ayush23rt4first of all, software engineering skill is not a one dimensional scale. There is no such thing as rating points like in sports (chess, etc.). Thus, claiming there is a top 1% does not make sense.
Second of all, why would only 1% of software engineers survive? There are for sure way more jobs than 0.01 times number of software engineers.
@@drakey6617 but in this competition its necessary to be one of skilled software engineer and there are n number of skilled and talented software engineer so it's important to be in that top percentage so we can get into big companies
Man, this video is such a breath of fresh air. I totally agree with you that you are what you are because of experiences that you went through. We learn by doing which is most necessary when doing software. If you don't make mistakes, you will never learn. If you make mistakes and you spend 1 day or 1 week trying to rectify that problem, you will learn not to repeat such a thing again. Mistakes make you better. This is what Primeagen says as well. Everyone you can do a task if you tell them how to do it and what steps to take, but if you only tell them to do this task, figure out how to do it on your own. The latter will teach you things that the former wouldn't be able to teach you in over a year.
Love you for saying this man.
Appreciate the honesty in this video, and you calling out this entire space of influencers and semi-scammers in it. Hope it will go viral in that segment of RUclips and open up a conversation that long overdue, but it probably won't because then the people you're calling out would have to actually address the valid critiques you're providing.
1:10 there are genuine ones too in the list like Aryan Singh and Parikh Jain specially. But anyways, just my POV after consuming their content as it's better than other office tour and roadmap videos.
Aryan's most videos are brutally honest like THIS ONE ALSO IS (current video)
