I got a computer science degree at a tier 3 university in a third world country, how cooked am I?
>>109532789Is coffee good for you?
>>109532804i mean, yeah, i enjoy having espressos
what have you learned?
>>109532789If you say "tier 3 university" and expect it to mean anything to anyone then I think you're already unemployable in the first world
Tier 2 US University Graduates with US citizenship can't find jobs. The second the recuiter/HR sees a non-US degree without experience in the US immediately goes in the reject. If you need an H1B on top of that, you can forget it unless you are the top 1% of candidates.
>>109532789If pajeets can do it, you can do it
Just get H1B bro
>>109532902>discrete math >linear algebra>probability and statistics>algorithms>vector calculus>differential equations>numerical methods>simulation>automata>c++, java, python, typescript, sql, etci'm tired boss
>>109532927>>109532932>>109532933You're right, maybe I can pull it off... but I feel so self-conscious about the university I went to... For instance, the top university in my country is ranked 120th globally, while mine is in the top 74 *within* the country... ): Only five of us are graduating next semester; it's a university in the middle of nowhere.
>>109532789>a tier 3 universityfound the pajeet
>>109533754): i'm not that thirdy
>>109533915Where are you from then? Real third world or fake third world (Latin America, Balkans, Southeast Asia)?
>>109533683If it makes you feel better mine is higher than the best school in your country and I can't find a job
>>109532789If you live in a 3rd world country, you're fine. If you want to move to, or are in, a 1st world country, and your 3rd world country is called india, you're fine. Otherwise, you're so screwed it's almost funny. My condolences.t. ex-FAGMAN PhD from rank 1 lab in the world in my CS specialty, 5 yoe in industry R&D with extensive development experience, including devops and webshittery. Can't find jobs (currently employed, awful job but better than homeless)
>>109532789that depends on how many do they hire from such universities in your third world country?
>>109532789nah you actually have a better chance of getting employment since you're easier to bully and force into doing 12 hour shifts on the react component assembly line.
>>109533929>Latin Americabingo>>109533936I envy people like you; I couldn't give a damn about finding a job. What I want is to live my life in academia, do research, and go to a prestigious university.You had the life I desire and am striving for; but I need a prestigious university, to go on to another prestigious university for my master's, and simply because my university isn't prestigious, no one accepts me.
>>109533981>t. ex-FAGMAN PhD from rank 1 lab in the world in my CS specialty, 5 yoe in industry R&D with extensive development experience, including devops and webshittery. Can't find jobs (currently employed, awful job but better than homeless)If I were you, I’d dedicate my life to research at a prestigious university and teach classes.That’s the problem with the First World: the price is a high cost of living. Everything here is cheap, I have a house and money, but I don’t have a career or any prospects for developing something.
>>109532789>>109532917In reality, FAGMAN likes to hire H1B third worlders and constantly rejects anyone with a CS degree from the states.The leverage that comes with paying you half the salary of an American employee while also using speedy deportation as a threat to comply are definitely advantages to hiring H1B labor.Even if you suck at programming, you will still get hired by FAGMAN. Tier 3 university isn't an issue, just memorize all the jeetcode answers and you're in. Also it helps if you know some jeets or chinks so they can rig the interview process with just jeets if you're a jeet or chinks if you're a chink. White people don't do this anymore sadly, they took the meritocracy pill and are failing at these corporations. Yes I've seen some shit. Trust me, the code there is shit and it isn't as glamorous as we make it out to be.
>>109534017Can't get any postdoc, which is a hard prereq to become a prof. Postdocs are about 10x more competitive than jobs are at the moment in my field. While my stats are 3-100x (depending on stat) better than other PhDs (e.g. citation count. h-index, publications, and more, plus I'm in a rare position to have industry R&D experience and research patents), I don't fit the "right shape" and having had industry experience is seen as "selling out". So I'm forced to either go into entrepreneurship (I am doing that on the side, but not getting any luck with investors so far, despite having a product with b2b users showing more traction than 99% of companies that got funded at my stage) or to find a dead-end job.
>>109533683idk, would it even change anything if you were with the number 1 of your country?reality is for the most part the actually underdeveloped nations' academic trainings don't even beat decent vocational training, so if anything they're looking for your personal skills, attitude and probably low initial pay, not the degree.
>>109534022White people still delude themselves with fantasies of "meritocracy" while ethnic minorities engage in blatant nepotism and gain ever more power and money for themselves. I'm beginning to hate white people for how fucking stupid we are.
>>109534060Paul "senile" graham is right, but not for the reason he thinks. Namely, the immigration you get from meritocracy is exclusively from pure-whites.
>>109532789A degree in a field such as comsci, which can be easily learner at home is useless. Only meme companies will make having a degree as a requirement to be hired.>>109533668All these do not require any special equipment or environment. You are not a surgeon, or an architect. You deal with abstract matter. All you need to get a job is to show that you are good at wielding abstract entities. If anything, reading philosophy books where an author describes their grand idea of the metaphysical architecture of our world is a better practice for a programmer. Programming is just applied metaphysics.>>109533683You are not gonna make it if you really think universities are some magical places that give people magical special keys to the world. You wanting to pursue a masters degree is even more of a red flag. I was recently tasked with hiring a new developer for an AI-related role, being a programmer myself, and all the "masters" got discarded because I know that they are people like you who care more about credentials than engineering. You spend most of your life in daycare centers and expect me to think you can think critically? No.Create interesting projects, put them on github. That is the only valid proof of your capabilities.>>109534060Boomer's gonna boom. They are a generation that preoccupy themselves with adhering to "universal principles" as if that means anything to anyone other than that they cannot differentiate between good and bad on a finer level.
>>109534224>They are a generation that preoccupy themselves with adhering to "universal principles"And they hold nobody other than white men to those principles. It is profound cowardice.
>>109533668Which one was your favourite? I've just done my first year and it was discrete maths by far
>>109533683you talking about PUC as 120th ranked?
>>109534060Meritocracy is the cheapest brown person
