Breh makes 500k as a self taught software Engineer

[Juliano Soprano]

Breh where I work wont even look at you on some teams with no degree wont promote you. I lived it no BS

That’s your companies backward thinking but it’s not the majority of companies. Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are all college dropouts, they founded 75% of F/MAANG, the blueprints of modern tech made it without college degrees of course majority of the industry won’t use a degree as a barrier.

"Colleges are outdated in new topics"


100% truth right there. I remember I wanted to be a Developer and was taking Linear Algebra class and thinking this was a waste lol

Bootcamps or Online courses are way more efficient and way less expensive

Having computer programmers that aren’t well-rounded has continued to be a massive ongoing issue.

 

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

No degree, first job somewhere in Silicon Valley like Facebook or Google? Practically impossible.

No degree, first job Jr Developer at a small to medium sized company or start up in the Midwest. With a Midwest jr developer salary? Much more likely.

Prove yourself at that no name company. Move on to your next challenge. And in the time it would have taken you to get that degree you won’t be at $500k but you’ll be in the 6 digits.

I’m at a California company. We just hired a no degree,no bootcamp, first job, self taught Jr Developer a few years ago. Just off of the strength of her GitHub projects and programming challenge. What also helped was her market rate was cheap and gave us money back in our budget, she was eager to learn and demonstrated it in her interview and GitHub, and her specialty (VUEjs) is what we were looking for.

Since being hired she’s more than doubled her salary since we’ve had to match other offers to keep her.

With realistic expectations this shyt can be done.

Shut the fukk up

It’s the same on the product side of the house.

If Airbnb and Uber had more people of color designing and managing their products their anti racism measures would have been built into the products from day one.

My name and/or picture might stop me from getting a ride or booking a rental house? Wow. Big shocker.

Computer programmers were never well-rounded individuals.

Whenever people come into these threads to share what they’ve learned bum ass nikkas discourage them from doing so. Because I said “we” too many times for your tastes.
Nikka. By the time I finish my morning coffee tomorrow I’ll have made more than you will all week. Think about that. And you’re sitting here telling me to shut up on a thread about careers in software that I’m trying to contribute to and help Brehs out.

You shut the fukk up. Ignore list asap.

Good thing your company ain't the only place hiring then, huh

This is false and I’m in IT with a comp sci degree…it’s ultimately about selling yourself and networking, if you can learn on your own, post projects you’re working on and worked on, and build up a network of like minded people in the industry you’re trying to get into via social media, create a impressive resume and treat interviewing like a 9-5, you’ll land. A traditional college gives you access to all this, and internships but many people have the mentality that allows them to do this without the guidelines of a college.

This.

This is good for him but he’s an incredible outlier and not the model to follow lol.

This young lady has a nursing degree, quit her nursing job and now claims she makes 6 figures in IT, so it can be done.

Oh yeah it definitely CAN be done. It’s also by far a tougher task than going at it the more traditional way.
