People can refer in Open Source but that is the last stage
[3]
after that life is fun and I am talking about Off-campus I didn’t signed up for my on campus placements
[8]
I did not had any hopes from my colleges I am already getting so many offers why would I sign
[13]
I directly texted a person who is working in google bro you’re working in google
[19]
I had to ask you some things giving so tons of lakhs of money it’s not worth it
[22]
and some companies are doing next level scam that we will teach you for free
[26]
you give us a part of your salary why shall I?
[28]
You should ask for experience from those people only who have already done that thing
[30]
some guy is doing college review you won’t ask for GSOC guide from him
[34]
so if you would look at my LinkedIn you will see opportunities one by one I haven’t posted
[38]
4 or 5 there Set a goal for yourself that you need to achieve this
[42]
stop watching clickbaity videos I was telling them for 1 year please learn in public
[46]
share the work that you do 5 of them are interning now.
[47]
Earn in dollars and spend in rupees remote software jobs are quickly gaining momentum
[53]
as you can see on this website least minimum pay that people are offering
[58]
to global remote engineers is $50K now that’s a good 35 lakhs per year or 3 lakhs per month
[66]
and we are not talking about cost to company but the base hand salary
[72]
yes that is right this is the time that you stop chasing the likes of amazon,
[77]
Microsoft companies that pay 1 lakh per month in India
[84]
and it’s time for you to embrace these other opportunities available
[88]
and that’s what we will be talking about in this video, with me I have invited Kunal Kushwaha
[95]
to talk about how he got over 70 remote software developer offers and the compensation was 3 times.
[106]
Recently Kunal also launched his YouTube Channel on which he gives a lot of informative
[109]
content about DSA and interview prep so you can check it out if you’re interested
[112]
but make sure you watch this video completely hit the like button subscribe to the channel
[116]
timestamps are given you can move around if you want to and let’s jump into this video.
[120]
As I was saying, my eyes opened Amazon India’s base 13 and as a student
[125]
I have not even graduated can make more by doing remote work so I tell this to everyone
[131]
not just me many people have posted tweets about this that People think Indian Engineers are overpaid
[139]
he posted a very good tweet about these things that what benefits you get like stock options
[146]
and hand in salary is much but to answer your questions I‘ll share my experience because
[153]
many beginners must be watching this so let me start with how I started first thing
[159]
is learning in public so maybe we can talk a little bit about that
[162]
how can you start learning share the good work you do in public some course you’re doing some
[168]
thing you’re learning you ca share about that take part in the student programs that I just
[171]
mentioned attend events share about the events like not just I am attending this event
[176]
but actually share about what is the event about I learnt about Kubernetes
[179]
I learnt about you know architecture stuff I learnt about state less vs statefull applications etc.
[184]
Where you have to share it on twitter and on LinkedIn where are the opportunity is the most
[189]
Ishan can you tell us is it more on LinkedIn or twitter You think it is twitter right
[195]
Twitter is the shizz bro You have so many opportunities on twitter (for software developers basically)
[200]
it’s very much It depends on what is it that you want to do If I want to reach out to the
[207]
companies for marketing aspect then I think LinkedIn works better
[210]
but of course if you’re into software development twitter can be better Its like why Twitter 45 00:03:34 ,001 --> 00:03:39,001 is better software development I have proof for that also because most of the remote startups
[219]
that I m taking about from London or Europe or Singapore, these developers they
[225]
are not even on LinkedIn let me give you one more proof go watch recording of big events Cupcon, open source summit etc etc
[232]
In every talk no developer will say or no one will say if you want to connect with me connect
[239]
with me on LinkedIn everybody has written it on their slides if you want to connect with me connect on twitter
[243]
these people are not even there on LinkedIn I’m not saying don’t do LinkedIn
[247]
you people who are watching it for beef that Kunal says don’t do LinkedIn do both the things
[254]
but twitter is more important opportunity can be found at both the places
[260]
I also have got many good opportunities from LinkedIn but nothing compared to what I have got
[263]
from twitter so learning in public as I was saying like you’re attending this event for
[269]
example you’re watching this video take a screenshot, so do that share it on socials
[278]
share your learning on socials that this video we attended anything you’re learning hackathon, if you win a hackathon if you take part in hackathon if you makee a project
[288]
you have to share all the things on socials, you attended a talk event tag that guy
[294]
you did a new project tag that project so when you start Write threads
[307]
this is very underrated skill you will get many opportunity from your public profile
[311]
its like if you want good jobs learn how to write good emails and this good also
[316]
why because then it generates awareness for you and for others also so share the good work you do in public.
[321]
Now a big problem that a lot of people face is what if your resume does not get selected
[326]
and is rejected because of 100s of other people applying for the same role or what if
[331]
you are just not aware about the opportunities in this software developer ecosystem
[336]
and that’s where I think relevel is really going to be very beneficial for you
[340]
over 50+ companies, startups and unicorns like CRED RazorPay upGrad Urban Company and many more hire through relevel you will find over 1000+ jobs using relevel
[351]
now the application process is quite simple you can just go to relevel.com or check out
[355]
from description register for the test of your choice for free and confirm your test slot
[360]
by recording a video resume of yourself in the next 24 hrs then once you get your relevel test you get a relevel score and then you need to create your own candidate profile
[370]
and that is pretty much all you need to do these tests are for roles like
[375]
Business development, Front End development or Back End development once you have done this
[379]
you just have to sit back and relax the companies will look at your candidate profile
[383]
and they will try to approach you the higher will be your score the more and more offers
[388]
you will be getting I think it’s a great opportunity for you and it is completely for free so do check it out from the description and now let’s back to the video.
[394]
So you can share this things and then after that How to get opportunities that was a good question
[401]
so lets say you didn’t do anything in the beginning you are just starting what I did was
[409]
I sent a lot of emails I atleast sent 1000 emails that I am looking for opportunity
[414]
I am looing for jobs and stuff I got a lot of opportunities from that but fortunately
[419]
by that time(2nd year) my profile was looking well that I was getting offers without applying
[425]
so this was my path, my profile is good now I do everything in public all the good things
[433]
so obviously people hire good people there’s nothing bad in that so I do get offers from that
[438]
so for other people just like my friends did You have to go on LinkedIn and twitter
[443]
and you have to search for people who work for the company in which you are interested in you
[446]
need to drat an email In that email you have to write Hey I am really interested in I am just starting out and have learnt these things and I am really interested in learning about
[454]
the roles in your company or what your company do, so write these emails
[458]
and be genuine interested not like you’re just spamming everyone Like the sessions I did from
[464]
my own sessions 5 people got internships in International community and startups
[472]
why because I was saying them from 1 year please learn in public please learn in public
[477]
share the work you do they are interning now. And there are more people who have got remote work like them too 90 00:08:06,001 --> 00:08:12,001 so please the good work that you do in public you have nothing to lose you’re only sharing good stuff about yourself in public
[492]
so you need to reach out to good people basically it is not about finding opportunity it is about creating opportunity
[499]
you attended some networking event you can reach out to them Hey I just attended your event
[506]
I am a fresher I am looking for internships in this domain this is my work in open source
[511]
if you’re doing open source then you won’t need to search for it.
[515]
I would recommend directly jump on to bigger projects for open source in which big people
[521]
are working for you will a lot of opportunities there since you will be working with them
[526]
they will look at your work and you will get a job, you can easily get a job in open source
[530]
if you are doing good work . Stop asking this question Kunal can you suggest me some beginner
[536]
friendly projects because even the most complex projects in the world like Kubernetes
[541]
they have beginner friendly issues if you need help in contributing you can reach out to me
[547]
join the slack Kubernetes channel it will be helpful and CNCF slack channel it has some great projects
[552]
even if you don’t know coding you can get involved you can make your profile and help people
[558]
you can also join CNCF student community please check out the link in the description
[563]
these are all free no is asking any money from you just like github campus expert
[569]
and MLH that conduct a ton of events, many hackathons for example MLH fellowship, Google Summer of code, LFX mentorship, Outreachy start taking parts in these things.
[581]
Set a goal for yourself that I have to achieve this, stop watching clickbaity videos
[585]
and focus hard and look towarrds your goals.
[589]
I still have the note where I wrote I wanted to achieve this in first year
[593]
this opportunity will come in second year and to achieve this I need to learn these things
[598]
and I need to talk to these people and then I have to apply I used to design my paths
[602]
like this so if you go to my LinkedIn there are opportunities after opportunities after opportunities
[607]
that is the reason because I structure everything I do a lot of work I studied a lot in the beginning
[615]
so do the work and you will get the benefits of it so if you need any guidance I m there
[621]
watch any of Ishan’s video and there are many people who share their experiences
[626]
and also ask for it only from those people who have actually done it like if somebody is doing College review why would you take GSOC guidance from him.
[640]
So there’s a Pi shaped learning know everything about something, something about everything
[644]
so how did I do all these things I did work and formed a habit of self study
[651]
so DSA, Web Development and a little bit of machine learning can use guidance
[659]
but you don’t need to watch me even on web development even if I make a course you don’t even need to look at it
[665]
if you can do self study you can just watch the online tutorial and the documentations
[671]
lots of tutorials on freecodecamp so giving such lakhs of money it’s not worth it
[678]
and some companies are doing even bigger scam that we will teach you for free and you will give 15% of your salary why shall I?
[691]
5 lakhs is nothing I can get you a 10lakh job for free why are you going to them
[697]
I can guarantee you on stream it is recorded so its like giving 15% salary of above 10L
[705]
what do you think it is hard to get a 10L job as a software developer in India
[709]
it is difficult for those who have not studied and those who have studied even tough questions are easy for them
[717]
that is about it that you first reach out to people, after that when you have built a good profile
[723]
got some opportunities then people will reach out to you and if you are contributing to open
[729]
source then definitely people will reach out to you but again I am mentioning
[733]
all these things are not bad I am not saying FAANGs like 10L or 13L is bad.
[738]
I am just saying it is overrated as compared to other startup jobs in India
[756]
like it is the end of the world it is not like that I have made it and I have made it way better so lease listen to my advice and you can do it as well
[763]
and just do good work in public and be kind and don’t get caught in clickbaits
[768]
before giving money to somebody consult me just don’t get caught in a scam
[773]
don’t do unpaid internships, don’t pay for any internship even if you Dm me on twitter
[778]
I will personally reply you that please don’t do this bro you need guidance directly reach
[783]
out to people who are working in those companies if you need guidance contribute to open
[787]
source reach out to the developers who are working on twitter in that company
[791]
take guidance from those people I never googled how to make it to google I directly texted
[798]
a person who is working for google Bro you are working in google I had some queries
[805]
there yu will get proof of fact, I am saying don’t even watch my videos 142 00:13:28,001 --> 00:13:36,001 directly reach out to me or ask questions in public or on discord but ask only the person who has actually done it
[816]
and if someone is saying very big words but he has no proofs for it everything I say
[820]
I have proof for everything so please focus on yourself work hard and opportunities
[828]
are very much in computer science so that was it Ishan to answer the question what is network in public
[834]
so open source projects networking you can get opportunities with abroad companies like this
[839]
and last level approach is companies will reach out to you where I am right now
[844]
so then your profile matters so if you have a good profile I have 13K followers on twitter
[851]
I do fancy things so because of that I get opportunities that this guys is doing everything
[859]
great in public so it’s like you should do it too your personal brand will develop
[864]
you will have some experience and then people will reach out to you in open source
[868]
they will refer you so that is the last stage after that your life is chill
[874]
like literally chill you get to work on things you like, team is great it’s not like
[882]
you have to work for these many hours and you haver to give the output
[886]
the team is very supportive and you get good money as compared to all these overrated things
[891]
great but overrated but don’t say Kunal is saying FAANG is trash or CP is trash and this is because of youtubers.
[902]
So, people often ask does CGPA matter?
[913]
To be quite frank it depends on where you are applying it a mammoth company like Microsoft
[919]
has cut-offs and I am talking about Off-campus I didn’t signed for on campus because
[925]
I have no hopes from my college and I already have offers in 10s of digits so why would I sign
[929]
for that CGPA matters for on campus if you’re doing masters it matters so remote work
[940]
I can tell it doesn’t the foreign startups they don’t ask for it they don’t even care
[944]
if your are going to college or not that is a short term answer if you’re getting opportunities from open Source 90% of opportunities that I have got they don’t ask for CGPA
[953]
when I was selected for Google it was 7 so it had no effect so its like
[958]
just because it doesn’t matter you won’t do work for CGPA try to maintain above 8
[965]
some companies do demand it so it’s better be safe than sorry you just don’t want backs
[971]
it’s not you leave everything to get 9 CGPA no, keep it above 8 and give rest of the time
[979]
to off-campus so that’s it CP rankings don’t matter pick any company it doesn’t matter
[986]
not even google if you’re doing good work if your profile is good not like you didn’t
[996]
development you didn’t CP then you say Kunal said rankings don’t matter.
[1000]
CP rankings don’t matter when your profile is good and all the things I just mentioned
[1007]
and if you’re not doing these things then your CP rankings matter because then companies
[1014]
reach out directly so if you want to go in CP only so make sure your rankings are high.
[1021]
