A post by Btechtards on Reddit has created a buzz on the internet, garnering mixed reactions. Some users agreed with the Redditor while others shed light on the importance of a formal degree for the stability of a job.
As suggested by the user, people should explore the Y Combinator (YC) directory where they will come across many opportunities that align with their personal interests. For the unversed, YC is an American technology startup accelerator that funds many companies at the initial stage.
“Go to the YC directory, filter by open source, find a project that you find interesting, start engaging with the community, and devs, start contributing by answering queries of other members, solving bugs or any other way find you can help," the Redditor wrote.
You don’t need to be in IIT, you don’t even need a Btech degree, you don’t even need a degree to earn a minimum of 15lpa. byu/sid597 inBtechtards
The user further insisted that a person should continue with the task for a few months to start earning. “Stay at it for a few months you will start getting paid, $1500 pm is nothing from the company’s pov, the world is literally set up in a way such that you create value for someone to earn a good living," the post added.
At the end of the post, the Redditor highlighted, “The only thing that matters is if you care about something. It’s quite easy to detect if you care about a project or not so please don’t think you could fake it till you make it."
The post has gone viral while accumulating hundreds of upvotes on the platform. Another Redditor supported the concept, saying, “People think you have to be in a good IIT or something. Go and improve your profile and companies will be after you." Some other users also found the idea “quite interesting".
However, many users raised doubts on the idea highlighting the importance of a formal degree for career growth. A user suggested, “You need a degree from a reputed college to survive in India".
Echoing the same sentiment, another comment read, “Good colleges expedite your chances of getting good companies with good packages. So, the point you start from, is someone might be working for the last 10 years and getting the same package."
