yashika_1989 Hi, I'm shy, don't boast me o-o. and I get pretty weird when I'm shy. besides that, I know the risks of not taking education, especially in India. The risk is too high, the employers themselves get disappointing at the thought that you don't have a formal education. Yeah, that's so bad. One of the reasons I hate is that, first being our education system which is obviously so dumb and is wasting millions of children's life and destroying their dreams and making them a losers in life. second being the way the society thinks about education. That, a certificate is all they need, nope nope nope that's not how it goes, and yet the society is down to these things. It's such an unfair life.
I'm not one of them, I feel suicidal everyday, for my life, for what I was, for not having friends and being alone all day long, just staring at the screen and essentially not having good physical and mental health. These are all things that haunt me on daily basis. I try my best to overcome them by doing things I love to do, or just by talking to people on the forums/chat rooms.
I'm joining many developer camps and meetups this summer, just to network with people, to get opportunities and such. Meetups are one way to network ?
I'm also trying my best to research on what kinds of chances I have to get a job, and how I can possibly do these things. I'm well aware it's gonna be even more hard to get a job abroad without a degree, as some countries don't even consider giving a work visa if you don't have a degree. While I have my options, Europe is totally not a go to as they have strict laws in terms of immigration and Visa. I think it's a tad more easier to get into Canada & New Zealand or even Australia as they're pretty liberal around these. Especially Canada.
Well that's just what I think from what ever I learnt from the web, you can never trust a stranger on the internet, but I know that it's best to my knowledge. Things can change... (future reader ? )
Also, I can do freelancing, but well yeah there's challenges here too, mostly it's hard to find clients if you're pretty new to free lancing, it's gonna be challenging, unless you have a sleek portfolio, which I yearn to have and try as hard as I can to showcase my best work.
One of the biggest challenge when finding jobs abroad is, these guys are sponsoring VISA, that means they are actually taking a responsibility on us saying to their govt "hey govt, we'll keep this guy at our company, we'll make sure he's in our supervision and gets out of country once the job is done ". So, they'll be very very keen on selecting interview candidates, and I have no idea how they're gonna test coding skills apart from asking technical questions and about experience and such.
Well, that's a small amount of what I learned from what ever I have.
between, no I have not collected that data all together, it's true that I found these resources a lot myself on the web, but all these were actually collected by a group of people on the internet. They put it all together nice and tight for others to utilize, and not get frustrated.
Cheers,
Swapna
