Whoa
First comment!
never knew that michael worked for the government of hawaii
Who is Michael and why are they so famous. Do they do anything impactful?
big tech 100% cares if you went to college. Ive applied there many time with 10 years experience no degree. never get a call
Also if you’re lucky enough to get hired without a degree you probably won’t get any major promotions salary raises
There’s some pretty good reasons to want developers with CS degrees. I have a bachelor’s and I’m not qualified for a lot of positions which require masters or PhD. 75% of software developers don’t benefit from a CS degree in their position though. I definitely don’t use much of what I learned in school, I was a programmer long before I started college
What are your working projects? Those projects need to hold value for faang to think they can enhance your skills. Make meaningful projects you’ll get hired at big tech. Or just get a degree that might work as well.
Resume is worth less than portfolio
He said big tech doesn’t care if you went to college (((for programming))).
it’s faang you forgot apple
YouTube Academy!
Degrees for cs go hot and cold. When I first started, there were a limited number of schools offering programs. Degree programs really boomed around 2000. Before then, it was easy to get work. I had no trouble. After that.. it became harder. I was self-taught too. I ended up getting a degree in 2010s just because I did see Degrees became really important. But I see a drop off of that again recently. Especially if you have notoriety like this kid. I think that’s what helped me too. I mean when I first started there wasn’t a youtube. But I worked with several companies on hard projects as a contractor. So I kinda got locally know for a short amount of time. I found most places I could just walk into with no issue. Until companies started requiring degrees.
Tech companies used to care but now they’re loosening their standards about college programming degrees
Just thinks about how much more qualified you must have to be over somebody who knows how to code and has a college degree
Although you’re saving money if you don’t put on the work you’re making yourself less competitive without that agree
*_”It doesn’t matter how you know how to do it, you just know how to do it”_* – major key 💯
Bro got in when tech was hiring anyone off the street that knew how to program Hello World, made bank, and dipped 😂
Extremely ignorant statement. Tech wasnt “hiring anyone off the street” you just had to be a competent programmer and perform a function
@@chrispyy99 nope, not true at all
@@chrispyy99 yeah, that’s why faang ended up with dropping 10-30% of staff
Fang was lucky netflix exist otherwise
Michael Reeves is an entertaining content creator and has a good grasp of the basics of software engineering and hobbyist electronics but he has no idea what he’s talking about when it comes to top tier tech companies. FAANG absolutely cares if you went to college, ideally a top-10 feeder company. Now, are there exceptions? Of course, but it is much more likely for a Stanford CS grad to get the position over the hundreds of thousands of online bootcamp grads being churned out every year, especially in this job market.
It true if u know your craft as good as a professional, at the end of the day its about can you do it now or you just go back to the handbook.
Recruiters care about having a degree and a lot of job applications will minimum require a bachelors. They will give you an auto-reject on your application if you don’t have that. Even with a degree now and experience you will have trouble. This video is also wrong, in that Tesla’s software engineer jobs require a college degree lol.
is he lying or telling his IRL experience. just because you had to have a degree doesn’t mean everyone else does. and also, you can lie and show off your skills later.
@@Ndasuunyewell he never worked in big tech, he worked for the government which has notoriously low standards for tech
@@Ndasuunye companies nowadays use bots to auto reject applications. Having degree is one of top priorities to check.
That’s most people’s first problem – going through recruiters. They’re pretty much useless for most. What most people fail to realize is that relationships is what get most people jobs. Go to professional networking events and talk to as many people as possible. It also helps to know a bit about the profession to present yourself as knowledgeable.
Given the high turnover rates most companies have, getting a job, once you’re known by enough people in a local industry becomes a lot easier.
am i the only one who thinks he looks like tenz?
“College programing” has a double meaning
Thats awesome!
So much bad information on all social media platforms about how easy it is to get into tech. Many college grads are struggling to find roles right now. The big tech companies absolutely prefer people with degrees over people without degrees. Learning to code and getting to an employable point takes years of hard work and is not an easy get rich quick path.
Lmao apple got dropped from faang
Lmfao bros full of himself lemme you see even get a interview at FANG without T5 school
Dude is a programming genius but has never heard of benzoyl peroxide
I could have saved myself a lot of time and money, if only patients would trust me to prescribe medication for them without formal college.
The idea of needing a college degree to do something is actually a relatively new concept. People used to work as apprentices under masters and eventually- after many, many years, would be deemd a master.
Colleges and Universities, historically speaking, were mostly for scholerly work. Nowadays however, they by and large monopolized the pathway to most careers and cheapened the meaning of “master” through certificates that label people as such with very little real world experience in a given profession.
Glad companies are wising up to this and judging people based on their skills rather than a piece of paper.
Lmaoo I think those apprenticeships are relevant when speaking of hands on skills, not something an aspiring lawyer or doctor would undergo. You need actual learned knowledge and deep understanding before you’re hands on.
F.A.N.G, because once they get a F.A.N.G in you, you’re hooked for life.
There is a difference between programming and really know how to solve problems and write the specific algorithms. Everyone could learn program easily but how to make it efficient and super complex… you won’t learn that from YouTube.
Been in the industry 15 years. It’s not just the top companies that don’t care. No company cares at all if you been to collage as long as your good. IV never been asked about my education and IV never asked when IV interviewed people
I wouldn’t work for someone like Elon Musk
