i dont think you need college to be a software engineer

drop out and just get the certs

You sorta do.

It's a big leg up on getting a higher level position.

maybe if you want to be a manager

Eh. It's the difference between code monkey and algorithmist.

The latter pays better and gets more respect.

Every company here prefers a college graduate over a independent learner

It's not a good idea to be independent

i have no college degree and im doing pretty well for myself right meow

yeah, companies need RELIABLE programmers that can work in teams

but im not doing and software engineering job

Companies like Amazon and Google directly come to colleges and hire students

usually

America seems so much better

Here the chances of getting a job after learning individually are very slim

*very* slim

Google is nothing but SJWs at this point though. Amazon is kinda ruthless.

slimmer than the chance of shooting putin through my mouth

@Deleted User yeah they come thier because it's easier to manipulate the younglings to thier ideology

I don’t know what working for amazon is like beyond pleb unskilled positions

@pratel IDC really. If I get into twitter or youtube I'm gonna help out people as much as i can

Eh. There's things you have to know that aren't really well taught independently and most people tend to avoid. That's the real reason Google and Amazon like degrees.

there were articles about amazons slave labor practices

Mostly math.

Amazon is much better if you go up the food chain. But they still run their software engineers ragged.

@Rabbi Shekels That's factory workers, not the programmers

Most leave.

Yeah, I know

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

cool

its corporate also bro

I'm a wimmin I'll be fine

if you get preggers amazon expects you to work even harder

Not that I've heard of in software.

I always heard it was more ruthless deadlines and pressure.

@pratel I studied in military school. I'll be fine man

I had to miss a conference call with India for my daughter's school play and was told that I was expected to work around their schedule because they weren't authorized for overtime.
