The raw honesty is what I really appreciate about this channel, no stupid bells and whistles

The fact that you are surprised at just data is telling of how dumb the world is getting. Honestly, this channel promotes court culture which is similar to bells and whistles.

Hi Rahul I am facing same imposter syndrome and anxiety these days. I have started my career with no 1 CRM company, but everything I work on is internal frameworks with very less and irrelevant documentation. I have 3yoe and started getting comfortable here. But when I try for interviews I feel there is nothing I am learning about industry generic stuff. All the work ex makes no sense in my resume. How to get out of this? Or am I just overthinking

You aren’t over thinking. I’ve had the same issues, it’s time to interview and get out ASAP even if it means not getting a TC increase imo. I left cushy jobs for slightly less TC and more relevant tech stack. Then job hop later if you want more but you aren’t going to land anything good without luck if you stick to easy internal stuff trust me on this.

rahul, you need to lower ur gain (on the mic). The audio quality is just a little bit spotty, and i feel like that might help (since the audio keeps peaking). Great vids, been watching a bunch of your vids the past week or so

Heyy brother/bhaiya/sir, I am following you since 2020 on LinkedIn from the age of 15, I am one of the youngest followers from India. I attended one of your zoom session in which you and Alex were talking about side hustle and how your company/side product acquired by pinterest and you became engineer at facebook........ From November this year, I'm gonna pursue my undergrad in CSE. Can you make a video on 1) what are skill i should acquire in order to get a job in top companies (FAANG). 2)Which coding languages i should learn during these four years of CSE. 3) How to prepare for the interview. 4) What are the tools i need in order to get a better job. 5) from where should i learn these skills. Pls also include those points which you think, are necessary from a point of view of getting a high paying job.

Hi Rahul, I was going to ask is it still worth it to become a frontend developer with the rise of Chat GPT and AI technology. I was looking to be a frontend developer but I'm unsure if it's a secure job going forward.

@RahulPandeyrkp Жыл бұрын

Yes! Definitely still worth it. You'll be so much more productive if you properly leverage chatGPT
