    This video is super helpful and really specific. I’ve got a few things to add to my list of ways to become a software engineer. It gives me a broad overview of the role. Plus, it can also be combined with my finance knowledge. I studied computer science and finance, but now I realize they’re two different majors. You explained that software engineers work for companies and help them meet their goals. Learning engineering is so important. I used to study kinesiology for a long time, but now AI, computer science, and other cool stuff are all on the rise. Now that I have more time to study

    Guys, the best advice I could give you is, try to land a simple position at good tech companies. It’s easier to move up internally because you’ll be able to build a network talking to people. This is if you don’t have a degree yet..

    Thank you so much. Started this year at 30 studying Information Technology Bachelor in Australia, really interested in becoming a software engineer and I am going to follow this blueprint. If it is not too much to ask it would be so great to have the opportunity to talk to you and tell you about my story, sometimes I feel a little bit lost in this new path that I am taking.

    Is it possible to start a career in DevOps without prior experience in frontend, backend, or network engineering? If possible could I start with the above resources? I have 4 months experience as frontend dev. Is there enough opportunities for fresher as devops ?I heard without experience companies don't hire devops engineer. Is it true? I am a full-time job holder, and investing that much time is a really big investment for me.I hope you have understood what I wanted to say.
