Got my PhD at 26 and got a 500k TC at a big tech with my EB1B green card at 29. All the masters people enjoyed renting a nissan sentra and posing at National Parks at 23 while I was slogging with my thesis at 25. Yes absolutely. Now I will chill with a permanent residency while I watch the masters H1B guys get laid off and pack their bags and get GC after 130 years. Good Luck to Harnoor.

PhD’s are the source of research and new ideas and future generations of professors who can teach. Governments know the importance of PhD’s and love them. Note the eb1a green card in USA. Finally, PhD is the best place to hide during a recession and many professors get good students during this period

PhD for sure is about being passionate about research and discovering within the scope one has in the subject he chooses. And PhD is not just about research or publishing work. Its a journey of evolution where you refine your thought process and critical learning and you even learn a lot from the mentorship. These skills are not applied just to your field after your PhD but to everything else you come across in your life afterwards.

It is definitely a nightmare for the latter.
Even a masters is not required for you to gain the skills to work in a tech sector. Kids who are citizens just do a bachelors and earn as much as you do after a masters. If people got STEM OPT after an Indian bachelors, do you think a single person will do their masters to acquire "skills"? Harnoor seems to be all about money money and savings savings.
Most people who do PhD in US often don't work in the field they do PhD. Unless you do a a job in a field directly related to your field of PhD you will not be considered for the GC as a person with PhD for shortening your GC que. Plus the fact is most people are not fit to do PhD even if you do get into some PhD program.

Harnoor has all the wrong ideas as to why one works towards a PhD. His whole focus is on making money which may not be everybody's goal in life.I am surprised he even has a masters degree. I am not sure why he even went to high school when he could have easily gotten a job without even going to high school. The reason for obtaining a PhD is for the pure joy of discovering something new and for the sheer pursuit of knowledge. His views are completely screwed up and not conducive towards excellence in anything. Sad!
Prof Sambhara, I think Harnoor's video is for those who have no interest in research but want to live the life ar per the so-called tradition and rules of the Indian middle class society. They value their package and the benefits that it brings. They want to achieve quick success and don't have the patience needed for a PhD. I am not sure if they will understand much of your comments. However, your words hold much more value for those who are currently pursuing or want to pursue PhD and are dealing with the thoughts conveyed by Harnoor.
You got very lucky - your area has a very good job market, you somehow got a good advisor, people of your age got greencards immediately with EB1 and am sure there's a lot of luck involved in getting a good research portfolio also I know some Math and Physics PhDs in the US who am sure worked very hard and are very talented, but are not even getting a basic industry job just because their area has hiring restrictions or their advisor was unhinged.

In certain fields (for example, Biotechnology), a PhD is a must to move up the ladder. Masters may fetch you a job but it takes much longer for a non-PhD to become a team leader. Of course, if someone is satisfied with a base-level job, then obviously PhD would be a waste of time for that person.

This always a thing with people who are money oriented, it’s not wrong after all money is very essential but people like harnoor make it seem that you do a job only to get money. Sometimes people want to do something they like, it’s more about passion for a particular field. I could have gotten a normal IT job last year but I didn’t want to do it because I wanted to study more and gain knowledge, maybe in future I would even love to teach if I gain the skills to do so. It’s something with us Indian students, majority of us just want to earn money in IT field even if it means to do engineering from an unrelated branch. The fact is that if Masters wasn’t necessary for getting a job in US then we Indians wouldn’t even think about doing it, there’s a reason why masters students are majorly international students who just want to start a career in US.
Dude are you suggesting that every or majority of the masters students do PhD. There are limited number of Universities in US. The jobs are far and few in between. Retirement in US has no age limit. Professors typically work till mid 70 ties. This prof has very little experience living life he is all about working in state funded jobs . Most army people are not fit for corporate jobs. Their life experience has very little to offer to the corporate world. True there are some ex army people who are successful but by and large they are below average performers in corporate world. I'm saying this having known at least a dozen people from Military both in India as well as US.
It all depends on your interest and skills. One can earn a lot more money than a PhD if we have right skills and experience. Companies don't look for degrees they look for skills and how you can add value and make them money
PhD students do a lot internships at top places like Meta, Google Brain and Microsoft research every summer and earn just as much as anyone in the industry. They don't have the burden of a frickin loan on their heads. I mean just look at the number of masters students without a job in 2024 just working as some goddamn volunteer to prolong their OPT. PhDs by the time they graduate would have spent 2-3 summers at top research facilities and 99% of the time have a return offer.
One PHD student in the UK took 8 years to complete his 5 years PHD. He then started earning on basic salary from scratch. It is better to be employed for those 8 years where at least he could have purchase his own house on mortgage. There are many of my friends who started their job in UK right from day one and able to buy own house and car after 10 years rather wasting time on PHD. PHD are unpredictable if there are detains
The summary is that do what interests you.....there is always two sides of a coin....pros and cons are part of our life. Regret is the biggest punishment your life could give. You can't reverse time to correct your mistakes so think twice before taking your life route. Be ready to face all the obstacles that will come to you. Also one shouldn't talk about a topic which they have no experience at all.
In india, I went for interview for the post assistant professor & there were so many phd candidate freshers and experienced, old people in queue along with me (fresher i qualified Msc ,set ) ..... 198 candidate for just 4 post ... So looking at After math phd...it is not so different for academic job( just the knowledge level and experience differes) Academia can not give job for all the Phd candidates who passout... actually journy starts from there ... Need to aquire different skills .. according to new job, look for academic posn , different projects.. Financially...will have depends on stipend ( during phd )
Nicee.. information Sir i follow your videos from some days..Sir i am ECE students my doubts is that how to choose my PHD topics... please make the video on this.
I always say to my family cousins- If you are going to US, go for PhD. Many people don't know the hidden benefits which student can have after completion of program other than job/experiences, if you caught my meaning..XD
Me who is a non stem student aspiring to a phd applicant💀. I wont even compare with a tech job person. Anyways why to compare? Also it's a very subjective topic and depends on the individual goals and carrers.
Sir I want to do a PhD. I did my MS and worked for the OPT time for 3 years and now in India. The only thing that prevents me from going for a PhD is because of my age in early 30s when I will start my PhD. What would be your opinion on this? Thank you for all you do!
Harnoor didnt know why companies laid off employees. Because all the major tech companies have started hiring PhD Engineers, as due to AI all workflow has been shifted to Research Phase.
I will tell look at it business people and new creators they always develop something while doing their PhD and if not you can do multiple things side by side
Harnoor says PhD students compare their lifestyle with others who have done their masters and own a car. I mean they are still living with 3 people in a bay area apartment and the car might be leased lol. There are a shit ton of people who are millionaires at 21-22 toh kya masters waale unse compare karenge khud ko?
i think harnoor's video was for those who wanna just work in tech companies and that's why they shouldn't go for ph.d .....so ph.d are for those who wanna do something big in their respective field and innovate something
In India you need a graduate degree for white collar jobs. If group A government jobs did not require graduation then much of the population here would have pursued graduation. They would have prepared for government jobs right from school days. I studied engineering for UPSC IES but could not crack it. Thankfully I am JE in CPWD through SSC.
sir ,i am 36 years old,and my past experience has been in IT industry arnd 8 years, but i wish to get into Physics MSC and Phd outside India.Will there be any research opportunities for someone like me at this age
I know an army retired pediatrician she was on highest rank now after retirement she is doing PhD in education as she was an dr and educationist as well If someone wants to do it he will do it at any age Other things r just excuses
I think that Harnoor's opinion is very biased towards doing a job. Even in the field of computer science and AI, there's a lot of research that needs to be done. I think that Harnoor is thinking like a typical Web Developer that makes crappy websites and misguiding people with clickbaits without considering both sides equally. PhD is a wonder journey and you get to know yourself and the topic of study extremely well. I'd trade it all in to do it again :)
Its as simple that all those who have a mindset to get into research aspects should anyway go with doing PHD. There is no need for Harnoor to say that PHD is waste and making contradictory statements. PHD is Phd no doubt.
That's exactly what harnoor is saying. People often look at PhD as just another degree to get job. Prof is naive why he doesn't talk about Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs etc.
Great job sir, though I like haroonr some videos, but this time he is wrong he tries to sell us something, why people are so much hanker after money? Damn ! But dr. Plz make more and more videos regarding ph.d
Sir, I am almost 34 now and I still want to do PHD. I am pursuing my Computer science masters from Georgia Tech online masters program. I am married and have a kid as well. I would like to move into research and have enjoyed the US style education so far. I will have saved some money by the time I move to US for PHD so that i could support my family. I still want to do PHD, any thoughts on my goal? Also I am working as Associate architect at Ernst and Young in Bangalore. Also I agree with you, In my opinion, people should chase their goals instead of chasing after money when studying. I am from a very lower financial background and only son. I have struggled hard and had previously received lot of admits/scholarships from good US universities for MS but never could afford the i20.
Hello sir, i m coming for my masters in cs in usa for fall 24, i have 6 years of total experience in java developer + sap basis areas and currently learning full stack. I am still confused should i come to us and do my masters . You suggestions will be very helpful. I also donot want to work on 3rd party payroll like from some Consultancy
Why you are going for master if you already working as developer. Most probably you will be looking for same job after master and also master degree focus on other things more than programming. You may write some code for assignment and dissertation project but it will be not on level required for most software developer projects which you are already working on. Better improve your coding skills try to become senior dev/ architect. Go for if you want to go in research or do phd. If you are looking for same kind of developer jobs than you will waste 2 years.
As we can understand @HarnoorSinghOfficial has a very narrow point of view about PhD. I like this video because the speaker in the video was very neutral and only focused on important points of pursuing PhD. Also by comparing videos we can understand how much broad mind set is of the person who has completed his PhD. Life is not about just earning money(Although money is important) and showing your luxury lifestyle, it is only good for the content sake. Harnoor has a huge fan base, I think he should make videos before doing a proper research but he cannot do that as he is against Research students. Everyone's life is not same and everyone's timelines differs, Enjoy your life and gain as much as knowledge as you can. Knowledge might not bring a ton of money but it will definitely give you a good way to live your life. I wish some youtube content creaters not only get aged but with it also start thinking with maturity. Awesome video once again.
I'm 24 and I left my corporate job, I have done my bachelor's in electrical engineering, can I do master's in aerospace / astronautics and a PhD in space science? I'm super passionate about aerospace and dream of working at NASA. I've worked in IT as a software engineer, but I want a job focused on research, not coding. Can you give me some advice? I am extremely confused between mba and research 😢 I need some guidance..🙏🏻
I am 55 years and having 26 years of software industry experiance in aerospace and cyber security, master's completed. i want to pursue PhD in cyber security in US. During my phd, can i apply for software company jobs.
If you get a job in the field of Your research and your post matches your qualifications and requires a PhD. Not just based on your PhD or your job. Modi ne ram rajya banna diya hai kyun US janna chahte ho?
Problem with people like Harnoor singh is they start advertising about their opinion on youtube without having in proper position to judge others. He is just a normal developer doing a normal job.
"Maybe their thesis project is not approved". LIke people are going to be like "agle mahine aao approve karenge" "fir agle maheene aao". wtf is a thesis project and wtf is an approval . omg hilarious
Sir, i am giving IIT Jee this year and i want to be a Physicist. so I will have to do a good phd. 😊 sir could you give me some advice for my interest in Physics and future prospective of being a scientist 👨🔬😊
Most of the PhD thesis papers are Garbage and useless. Whatever you are trying to create, to be most useful, ask yourself what will be the utility delta compared to the current state of the art times how many people it will impact !!
I do not see your point - in your opinion number theory was garbage until we invented cryptography, giant magnetoresistance was garbage until we invented hard drives, semiconductor physics was garbage until we invented the transistor. Modern scientific research is new and look at the amazing things that it has given us - aircrafts, smartphones, computers. There were a lot of incremental advances in the fields before we passed the threshold to have utility for the society at large. Please respect the scientific process.

There is little doubt that a PhD is head and shoulders over masters.and a tech phd is not a roadside position.besides a tenured teaching position is far more secure than an industry position. Even otherwise a phd especially an american one certainly above masters .the problem here is that people do not have the stamina for a phd slogthats the fact of the matter. I prefer watching u speak of issues than a tourif ur house .i do not envy ur house but i envy u ur PhD.i am far from rich .i had a double masters frompune univ double qualifying subject eligibility s . I have no phd which i wanted . I used to teach pg non tech. Now its too late and after illness i can no longer work close to retirement and other family inheritance issues to sell / dispose off. To tackle. I find ur views on usa academics more interesting. I have no fascination to live in usa tho its an interesting place to b . But with allthe murders discrimination gun culture drug abuse immigration issues indian homicide cases recession lay offs. for most thinking indians usa is the last place to b . Another point of present day hindi film greats .its comman knowledge that so called filmmaking is a cover up of every imajinable illegal business escort service proatitution drug running fake currency distribution antinational chines funded sedition human trafficking hawala porn etc etc .so thats how the money is made in socalled film making business. They really shud not b held as role models of success
Even the people who developed chatgpt also had many PhD holders in that team. I also saw his video although some points he raised I agree but the way he delivered it as if that after PhD we are no more eligible for job. Plenty of PhDs go to tech companies and industries for jobs. Moreover I completely emphasize and agree on your point that the corporate sector is very unreliable around the world we can be laid off any moment atleast PhD holders have option to go back to academia which is much more stable. This is the only reason why I am pursuing PhD I will go to industry immediately following my graduation but I will have a option of returning to academia as professor if I am laid off.
Sir, my Name is Prithviraj Mallik i am pursuing my Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering from India. I want to do PHD in Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering with Aerospace Engineering Specialization in a decent US University. What is the Scope for Tenure Track Faculty Position as an Assistant Professor there ? In terms of Green Card ? Any Hope. Or I should just Study there get an experience and Move to any other Country or my Home country to Get an Assistant Professorship Position. My Passion is to do Teaching Engineering Sciences and Research and provide innovative solutions to Aerospace Engineering, Engineering Sciences and Mechanical Engineering Field. I am Intrested in making Research Contribution in the Field of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering.
Short answer very low chances. If you really want to innovate move to Russia they are more on cutting edge than anyone else. But their school is 13-16 years, engineering is 6 years, all academic and research positions require very very very rigorous training and skills unlike rest of the world.
Fact of the matter is if you get into an ivy league for a Masters there isn't any reason for a phD, it those who get into grade 2 universities and non-ivy league universities who are forced to go for phD, and then try to make excuses why phD is the better alternative.
The thick of things is that if you do not enjoy research, you will not make the most out of your PhD journey. 'Forced to go for PhD' - that is the worst mindset. You only do it if you are hell-bent on inventing/discovering something and pushing the state-of-the-art.
These elements like Car or home dont have any value.I used to work and I had these but in few days all went by.So,no issue if you do phd or work,dont be judgemental.
Getting Phd tag is useful for someone in their career journey but I have seen lot of PhD candidates fucked up their lives and missed out on income opportunities. Best is to get a head start, finnaces must be top priority, I agree with harnoor. No wonder PhD candidates are clerk in India😂 This prof. has lost his Rationality and gone deep into Ramayana mode
Ramayana mode😂😂 It's true . He didn't even get the fact right that there is no retirement age in US. Most tech workers start retirement around 64 or so many prefer 67-69. They can work in 70ties if they wish to but social Security etc makes it more worthwhile to retire max by 67.
How 8 student can get a job when they are fully dumb no knowledge basics not clear. And @harnoor bro you have good knowledge but you can’t compete with desi professor as he did PhD and the mindset and the knowledge you get while doing PhD you will never get in tech job. Maybe using classes , function and repetitive tasks you can perform but in PhD your idea should be new.
What nonsense this harnoor guy talking here it’s completely a unmaturness once you start job it’s very hard to come back he even not thinking and speaking any shit which doesn’t make sense. Now I doubt maybe apart from tech job I don’t think so he can think beyond or bigger than that.
Bill Gates ki qualifications? Steve Jobs ki qualifications? Ambani ki Qualifications? Adani ki qualifications? Mudji ki qualifications? Marc Zuckerberg ki qualifications? Yeh sab professor bhul gaya. Yeh typical naukri pesha clerk attitude wala hai. Harnoor iss ka UA-cam guru hai iss ko boost de raha hai apne channel se. Most likely this both videos are a pre planned collaboration with Harnoor to give viewer exposure to the bechara prof. 😂😂

How about joining a consultancy on payroll

In certain fields (for example, Biotechnology), a PhD is a must to move up the ladder. Masters may fetch you a job but it takes much longer for a non-PhD to become a team leader. Of course, if someone is satisfied with a base-level job, then obviously PhD would be a waste of time for that person.
I have done my bachelor's in electrical engineering, can I do master's in aerospace / astronautics and a PhD in space science? I'm super passionate about aerospace and dream of working at NASA. I've worked in IT as a software engineer, but I want a job focused on research, not coding. Can you give me some advice?
This always a thing with people who are money oriented, it’s not wrong after all money is very essential but people like harnoor make it seem that you do a job only to get money. Sometimes people want to do something they like, it’s more about passion for a particular field. I could have gotten a normal IT job last year but I didn’t want to do it because I wanted to study more and gain knowledge, maybe in future I would even love to teach if I gain the skills to do so. It’s something with us Indian students, majority of us just want to earn money in IT field even if it means to do engineering from an unrelated branch. The fact is that if Masters wasn’t necessary for getting a job in US then we Indians wouldn’t even think about doing it, there’s a reason why masters students are majorly international students who just want to start a career in US.
Chal Bhai, tu Paisa ke liye kaam mat kar. Aur aadha salary le ke kaam karna. Aur passion bhi chahiye. Aur kabhi hike ke liye nahi bolega tu.
Yes, Dr Sambhara is right. Many after getting into work get carried away and may not opt for PHD.
Dude are you suggesting that every or majority of the masters students do PhD.
There are limited number of Universities in US. The jobs are far and few in between. Retirement in US has no age limit. Professors typically work till mid 70 ties.
This prof has very little experience living life he is all about working in state funded jobs . Most army people are not fit for corporate jobs. Their life experience has very little to offer to the corporate world. True there are some ex army people who are successful but by and large they are below average performers in corporate world. I'm saying this having known at least a dozen people from Military both in India as well as US.
Informative video.
It all depends on your interest and skills. One can earn a lot more money than a PhD if we have right skills and experience. Companies don't look for degrees they look for skills and how you can add value and make them money
PhD students do a lot internships at top places like Meta, Google Brain and Microsoft research every summer and earn just as much as anyone in the industry. They don't have the burden of a frickin loan on their heads. I mean just look at the number of masters students without a job in 2024 just working as some goddamn volunteer to prolong their OPT.
PhDs by the time they graduate would have spent 2-3 summers at top research facilities and 99% of the time have a return offer.
But, the market is flooded with phds already, it’s going to be the same as masters job market very soon.
It's only for computer science. See the halat of chemistry, physics phds. 😢😢
@@supratiksarkar6336 true that. No jobs for physics/chem students. Only some industrial jobs that also for some
One PHD student in the UK took 8 years to complete his 5 years PHD. He then started earning on basic salary from scratch. It is better to be employed for those 8 years where at least he could have purchase his own house on mortgage. There are many of my friends who started their job in UK right from day one and able to buy own house and car after 10 years rather wasting time on PHD. PHD are unpredictable if there are detains
Phd in UK is 3 years. Max they will give you one more year. Master in UK is one year.
The summary is that do what interests you.....there is always two sides of a coin....pros and cons are part of our life. Regret is the biggest punishment your life could give. You can't reverse time to correct your mistakes so think twice before taking your life route. Be ready to face all the obstacles that will come to you.
Also one shouldn't talk about a topic which they have no experience at all.
In india, I went for interview for the post assistant professor & there were so many phd candidate freshers and experienced, old people in queue along with me (fresher i qualified Msc ,set ) .....
198 candidate for just 4 post ...
So looking at After math phd...it is not so different for academic job( just the knowledge level and experience differes)
Academia can not give job for all the Phd candidates who passout... actually journy starts from there ...
Need to aquire different skills .. according to new job, look for academic posn , different projects..
Financially...will have depends on stipend ( during phd )
Nicee.. information Sir i follow your videos from some days..Sir i am ECE students my doubts is that how to choose my PHD topics... please make the video on this.
I always say to my family cousins- If you are going to US, go for PhD. Many people don't know the hidden benefits which student can have after completion of program other than job/experiences, if you caught my meaning..XD
Perfect
Mandal ji aap dowry ki baat kar rahe ho. 😂😂😂

Thanks Professor for the insights, what are your thoughts on DBA for someone with Masters and ~10 years work-ex
In pharma, biotech, materials science etc fields ,,,, specialized skills are required, phd becomes very important
Me who is a non stem student aspiring to a phd applicant💀. I wont even compare with a tech job person. Anyways why to compare? Also it's a very subjective topic and depends on the individual goals and carrers.
Professor I wanted to know if this statement is valid …. “PhD graduates are more immune to the tech layoffs compared to MS graduates”
Yes!
Sir I want to do a PhD. I did my MS and worked for the OPT time for 3 years and now in India. The only thing that prevents me from going for a PhD is because of my age in early 30s when I will start my PhD. What would be your opinion on this? Thank you for all you do!
Go for it
Domain?
Harnoor didnt know why companies laid off employees. Because all the major tech companies have started hiring PhD Engineers, as due to AI all workflow has been shifted to Research Phase.
Prof US doesnt have a specific retirement age most people in tech sector work typically till around 67-72 .
I will tell look at it business people and new creators they always develop something while doing their PhD and if not you can do multiple things side by side
Harnoor says PhD students compare their lifestyle with others who have done their masters and own a car. I mean they are still living with 3 people in a bay area apartment and the car might be leased lol. There are a shit ton of people who are millionaires at 21-22 toh kya masters waale unse compare karenge khud ko?
i think harnoor's video was for those who wanna just work in tech companies and that's why they shouldn't go for ph.d .....so ph.d are for those who wanna do something big in their respective field and innovate something
Yeah
In India you need a graduate degree for white collar jobs. If group A government jobs did not require graduation then much of the population here would have pursued graduation. They would have prepared for government jobs right from school days. I studied engineering for UPSC IES but could not crack it. Thankfully I am JE in CPWD through SSC.
sir ,i am 36 years old,and my past experience has been in IT industry arnd 8 years, but i wish to get into Physics MSC and Phd outside India.Will there be any research opportunities for someone like me at this age
People generally say that age is just a number, would you suggest going for a Phd in late-30s?
Definitely. If you have the passion and the will, do go for it. One of the people that I know got their PhD when he was 45!
we can't decide all of out life decisions based on money ....but still you can make money while doing ph.d by start up nd all
The need of researchers is more than that of engineers, harnoor should realise this
Going further .. all over the world .. yes
This video looks quite interesting 😱
I know an army retired pediatrician she was on highest rank now after retirement she is doing PhD in education as she was an dr and educationist as well
If someone wants to do it he will do it at any age
Other things r just excuses
9.07 your attitude is good best of luck.
I think that Harnoor's opinion is very biased towards doing a job. Even in the field of computer science and AI, there's a lot of research that needs to be done. I think that Harnoor is thinking like a typical Web Developer that makes crappy websites and misguiding people with clickbaits without considering both sides equally. PhD is a wonder journey and you get to know yourself and the topic of study extremely well. I'd trade it all in to do it again :)
Its as simple that all those who have a mindset to get into research aspects should anyway go with doing PHD. There is no need for Harnoor to say that PHD is waste and making contradictory statements. PHD is Phd no doubt.
That's exactly what harnoor is saying. People often look at PhD as just another degree to get job.
Prof is naive why he doesn't talk about Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs etc.
Great job sir, though I like haroonr some videos, but this time he is wrong he tries to sell us something, why people are so much hanker after money? Damn ! But dr. Plz make more and more videos regarding ph.d
Hlo can gou work on wiaving GMAT requirements for master students at your university
Sir, I am almost 34 now and I still want to do PHD. I am pursuing my Computer science masters from Georgia Tech online masters program. I am married and have a kid as well. I would like to move into research and have enjoyed the US style education so far. I will have saved some money by the time I move to US for PHD so that i could support my family. I still want to do PHD, any thoughts on my goal? Also I am working as Associate architect at Ernst and Young in Bangalore. Also I agree with you, In my opinion, people should chase their goals instead of chasing after money when studying. I am from a very lower financial background and only son. I have struggled hard and had previously received lot of admits/scholarships from good US universities for MS but never could afford the i20.
OMSCS doesnt have thesis. PhD program requires thesis at Bachelors or Masters level
@@shyampagne not necessarily
For some points i agree with harnoor. Accadamic toxicity is a real thing.
3:43 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hello sir, i m coming for my masters in cs in usa for fall 24, i have 6 years of total experience in java developer + sap basis areas and currently learning full stack. I am still confused should i come to us and do my masters . You suggestions will be very helpful. I also donot want to work on 3rd party payroll like from some Consultancy
Why you are going for master if you already working as developer. Most probably you will be looking for same job after master and also master degree focus on other things more than programming. You may write some code for assignment and dissertation project but it will be not on level required for most software developer projects which you are already working on. Better improve your coding skills try to become senior dev/ architect. Go for if you want to go in research or do phd. If you are looking for same kind of developer jobs than you will waste 2 years.
As we can understand @HarnoorSinghOfficial has a very narrow point of view about PhD. I like this video because the speaker in the video was very neutral and only focused on important points of pursuing PhD. Also by comparing videos we can understand how much broad mind set is of the person who has completed his PhD. Life is not about just earning money(Although money is important) and showing your luxury lifestyle, it is only good for the content sake. Harnoor has a huge fan base, I think he should make videos before doing a proper research but he cannot do that as he is against Research students. Everyone's life is not same and everyone's timelines differs, Enjoy your life and gain as much as knowledge as you can. Knowledge might not bring a ton of money but it will definitely give you a good way to live your life. I wish some youtube content creaters not only get aged but with it also start thinking with maturity. Awesome video once again.
Yeah, fight you, nerds....!!!!😅😅
Harnoor is also right, he just trying to show the fact
I'm 24 and I left my corporate job, I have done my bachelor's in electrical engineering, can I do master's in aerospace / astronautics and a PhD in space science? I'm super passionate about aerospace and dream of working at NASA. I've worked in IT as a software engineer, but I want a job focused on research, not coding. Can you give me some advice? I am extremely confused between mba and research 😢
I need some guidance..🙏🏻
In phd many things have to click for you to end up with eb1. So take everything with a grain of salt.
I am 55 years and having 26 years of software industry experiance in aerospace and cyber security, master's completed. i want to pursue PhD in cyber security in US. During my phd, can i apply for software company jobs.
If I complete my PHD program from a mediocre US university, will I get EB1B visa? What is the possibility of it?
PhD is PhD dedicated and hardwork university ranking does not matter
@@rohanutep81he is asking about EB1B visa and not ranking of the university.
If you get a job in the field of Your research and your post matches your qualifications and requires a PhD.
Not just based on your PhD or your job.
Modi ne ram rajya banna diya hai kyun US janna chahte ho?
Problem with people like Harnoor singh is they start advertising about their opinion on youtube without having in proper position to judge others. He is just a normal developer doing a normal job.
He is just a kid, he got some fame on UA-cam. Better ignore the kid.
Harnoor lacks deep value of Phd.
Thank you Chaitanya for clarity
Hannoor got citizenship through her GF otherwise he would have better and unbiased opinion.
Hannoor has to put himself in a H1B guys shoes
"Maybe their thesis project is not approved". LIke people are going to be like "agle mahine aao approve karenge" "fir agle maheene aao". wtf is a thesis project and wtf is an approval . omg hilarious
I hope this is a friendly fire and does not escalates to a rivalry
he asked me to make this video and he asked me to oppose his views and criticize him on things where I think he was wrong. All credit to him.

Whats the average salary of physics professor in usa
Sir, i am giving IIT Jee this year and i want to be a Physicist. so I will have to do a good phd. 😊 sir could you give me some advice for my interest in Physics and future prospective of being a scientist 👨🔬😊
Please go for foreign PhD in case you are eyeing robust research and more advanced methodology
Yahan bheek nahi maango first lesson.
Hi I'm looking for a video in English or at least English subtitles
Financial fact bro
Most of the PhD thesis papers are Garbage and useless.
Whatever you are trying to create, to be most useful, ask yourself what will be the utility delta compared to the current state of the art times how many people it will impact !!
I do not see your point - in your opinion number theory was garbage until we invented cryptography, giant magnetoresistance was garbage until we invented hard drives, semiconductor physics was garbage until we invented the transistor. Modern scientific research is new and look at the amazing things that it has given us - aircrafts, smartphones, computers. There were a lot of incremental advances in the fields before we passed the threshold to have utility for the society at large. Please respect the scientific process.

There is little doubt that a PhD is head and shoulders over masters.and a tech phd is not a roadside position.besides a tenured teaching position is far more secure than an industry position. Even otherwise a phd especially an american one certainly above masters .the problem here is that people do not have the stamina for a phd slogthats the fact of the matter.
I prefer watching u speak of issues than a tourif ur house .i do not envy ur house but i envy u ur PhD.i am far from rich .i had a double masters frompune univ double qualifying subject eligibility s .
I have no phd which i wanted .
I used to teach pg non tech.
Now its too late and after illness i can no longer work close to retirement and other family inheritance issues to sell / dispose off. To tackle.

They really shud not b held as role models of success
Even the people who developed chatgpt also had many PhD holders in that team.
I also saw his video although some points he raised I agree but the way he delivered it as if that after PhD we are no more eligible for job.
Plenty of PhDs go to tech companies and industries for jobs. Moreover I completely emphasize and agree on your point that the corporate sector is very unreliable around the world we can be laid off any moment atleast PhD holders have option to go back to academia which is much more stable. This is the only reason why I am pursuing PhD I will go to industry immediately following my graduation but I will have a option of returning to academia as professor if I am laid off.
Yeah academia is brimming with opportunity😂😂
they've invented but, the money went into the pockets of the company
27:56 You don't need PhD to be good researcher. Whatttt😂😂😂
Sir, my Name is Prithviraj Mallik i am pursuing my Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering from India. I want to do PHD in Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering with Aerospace Engineering Specialization in a decent US University. What is the Scope for Tenure Track Faculty Position as an Assistant Professor there ? In terms of Green Card ? Any Hope. Or I should just Study there get an experience and Move to any other Country or my Home country to Get an Assistant Professorship Position. My Passion is to do Teaching Engineering Sciences and Research and provide innovative solutions to Aerospace Engineering, Engineering Sciences and Mechanical Engineering Field. I am Intrested in making Research Contribution in the Field of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering.
Short answer very low chances.
If you really want to innovate move to Russia they are more on cutting edge than anyone else. But their school is 13-16 years, engineering is 6 years, all academic and research positions require very very very rigorous training and skills unlike rest of the world.
Fact of the matter is if you get into an ivy league for a Masters there isn't any reason for a phD, it those who get into grade 2 universities and non-ivy league universities who are forced to go for phD, and then try to make excuses why phD is the better alternative.
Yeh hai best comment. Baqi sab baqwas.
The thick of things is that if you do not enjoy research, you will not make the most out of your PhD journey. 'Forced to go for PhD' - that is the worst mindset. You only do it if you are hell-bent on inventing/discovering something and pushing the state-of-the-art.
PhD program can not be compared with money. Harnoor should start a business in Gujarat, India, where he can earn more money..😅😅😅😅
aur prof kya haal hai, long time no see 🙋🏻♂
These elements like Car or home dont have any value.I used to work and I had these but in few days all went by.So,no issue if you do phd or work,dont be judgemental.
Why Shahrukh you are not Shahrukh
With phd can we do job in it

Getting Phd tag is useful for someone in their career journey but I have seen lot of PhD candidates fucked up their lives and missed out on income opportunities.
Best is to get a head start, finnaces must be top priority, I agree with harnoor. No wonder PhD candidates are clerk in India😂
This prof. has lost his Rationality and gone deep into Ramayana mode
For pursuing PhD one needs to have a different attitude towards life patience excellence and not materialistic attitude
They are talking about phd candidates in US not India
Ramayana mode😂😂
It's true .
He didn't even get the fact right that there is no retirement age in US. Most tech workers start retirement around 64 or so many prefer 67-69. They can work in 70ties if they wish to but social Security etc makes it more worthwhile to retire max by 67.
How 8 student can get a job when they are fully dumb no knowledge basics not clear. And @harnoor bro you have good knowledge but you can’t compete with desi professor as he did PhD and the mindset and the knowledge you get while doing PhD you will never get in tech job. Maybe using classes , function and repetitive tasks you can perform but in PhD your idea should be new.
Phd k bad koi govt. Job muskil se 5 percent possibly bs
What nonsense this harnoor guy talking here it’s completely a unmaturness once you start job it’s very hard to come back he even not thinking and speaking any shit which doesn’t make sense. Now I doubt maybe apart from tech job I don’t think so he can think beyond or bigger than that.
Harnoor ko mental Dengue hogaya kal bhi kisi ko pakad ke ek video banaya hain Jisme vo free me kam karega bol rha tha 😂😂

It is unfortunTe that you make a video in response to harron singh. You are dignifying haroon singh. He is not worth so much attention.

Most likely this both videos are a pre planned collaboration with Harnoor to give viewer exposure to the bechara prof. 😂😂
Don’t forget about Bill gates, read his biography, he was born in a very rich family, his family could afford that.
