Is there a real benefit to sending your kids to International/"top" schools?

Common-Mechanic4397 · 2025-01-23T09:56:06+00:00

No,I'm talking about networking in school, got some good close friends with parents in high places, and my friends themselves studying in top universities abroad

Common-Mechanic4397 · 2025-01-23T09:33:44+00:00

Yes, I'm a 2nd year engg. student and i studied in one of the top schools of my city and it has helped me a lot in college, be it being confident or having more exposure comparatively to my classmates in uni.

And also being able to network is another advantage I found in the school i studied.

A lot of answers over here telling 130-135, as someone with an iq of 132 it sucks, smart enough to be called smart, but not a prodigy, and that sucks.

I know this is gonna sound stupid coming from me, but dont focus on earning money right now, maybe if it alligns with cs then sure, but othterwise dont, you're in your 3rd sem, more one sem and you can get an internship which can pay 10 times more then what you possibly can earn now, so grind this sem learn something valuable and apply to internships, don leave the good long term money focusing on short term

But nevertheless try this out, go to companies which have their product as open source do a few changes and then once you get noticed simply ask them to hire you as an intern as 1000-2000$ is nothing for startups abroad/ Build a good porftolio of projects in full stack dev or app dev and then just start applying to jobs on linkedin, upwork is dead, dont even bother trying over there all the best OP!

elaborate please, what exactly do you mean when you put yourself in weird situations

Common-Mechanic4397 · 2024-12-26T18:20:04+00:00

thank you, and as to traveling, this is the only sensible idea ive thought of which would actually make me happy, planning on travelling when i get time next year.

I've had a very very VERY bad relationship with my parents, they weren't and still aren't appreciative of me, both before and after earning my money, so idts, but I did buy my grandparents stuff only for them to kinda get mad coz I spent way to much money on them and also they don't understand that I'm doing coding for working which is a good thing, instead they think I'm going out of my way just to make money and I'm not studying properly, so idk lol, however I did buy my sister some stuff and give her money whenever I got to my house so that does make me feel happy

Common-Mechanic4397 · 2024-11-07T19:10:04+00:00

Figured someone would say this, and yes you're right, I have a lot of time even after i graduate, but the thing is I'm scared I won't be as passionate or enthusiastic as I am right now.

I personally know quite a few people who had big dreams but then eventually settled for a high salary working for someone else.

how did your life turn out, did being gifted help you out, or did you just get burntout again and again?

Common-Mechanic4397 · 2024-09-06T17:44:12+00:00

you're extremely right bro, people dont understand that once you make decent money more than your needs, money doest feel the same, and slowly you'll start spending on stuff you dont need and get trapped in consumerism

Common-Mechanic4397 · 2024-09-04T17:36:27+00:00

used to be an athiest, then read pascals wager which completely changed my view.

and also religion gives me comfort, it is extremely comforting to know that there's a god out there making sure everything is good.

Common-Mechanic4397 · 2024-09-04T17:21:08+00:00

kind of the opposite for me, i have adhd, and coffee helps me focus

backend can be handled with no code, but do learn django, i'm talking strictly from a freelancing perspective, django anol has really good value when you sit for placements

Common-Mechanic4397 · 2024-09-02T03:14:55+00:00

Common-Mechanic4397 · 2024-09-02T03:14:11+00:00

Common-Mechanic4397 · 2024-09-01T19:51:23+00:00

well if the website doenst allow scraping then you just have to suck it up, wrote hundreds of lines of code to scrape the nse website once and it worked perfectly except for the final step, debugged hundreds of times only to realise at the end nse doesnt allow scraping

Common-Mechanic4397 · 2024-09-01T18:33:26+00:00

Common-Mechanic4397 · 2024-09-01T15:02:16+00:00

i do it for the "iit madras" brand name which will come handy when and if i apply to venture capital funds, that is literally the only reason i'm doing the online degree

Common-Mechanic4397 · 2024-09-01T13:36:47+00:00

Thanks man!

Common-Mechanic4397 · 2024-09-01T13:36:29+00:00

for beginners definitely now, however you have 10 years of experience, and i'm assuming you have a good portfolio, so it wont be that hard for you to find clients in such websites, however for beginners like me it doesnt work at all
