Can I find a job after completing CS50?

[worldsinmyhead]

Programmer of 30 years here. Two things I want to address: 1. Kombina is absolutely correct when he says net randos are parroting "No. You can't get a job with just CS50". Think about it. You can get a job with a code bootcamp that runs 12 weeks. But, you can't get a job with a course running a similar amount of time (with MUCH better content/delivery) taught at friggin Harvard? This isn't a court-room, so not going to argue about pace, content, drinking from firehoses and the like. It's enough. Full-stop. From CS50 on you are more than capable to just go deeper into CS more generally, build stuff and refer to docs. If you completed CS50 as it is intended to be completed and think you still aren't, you're wrong. Kill or learn to cope with the imposter in you. If you've done CS50, go build and read docs. You're there. 2. Kombina, will you give an opinion on Tideman? Keep up your amazing content. I actually never comment on YouTube. My son is learning to program (from CS50 mind you!) and came across your channel. I have been frustratingly trying to get young people/career changers to understand the true depth and usefulness of CS50 for years now. I am so thankful to find a voice on here fighting the good fight!

You and your videos have been a god-send! I'm currently preparing to move up from shipping and receiving to general IT tech support/application programming within 1-2 years, so your advice on all things CS50 have been helping me boost my confidence of knowing I can and will do this!

Thanks for everything, cheers!

Thanks alot! I needed this. I'm working on a full time job and currently on week 1 in CS50. No background in coding and I'm really struggling in C but I always think that I'm taking baby steps, so no pressure in learning. What I've learned in this video is to live a healthy lifestyle and don' rush learning!

Thank you! You’re channel deserve way more attention! Thank you again for everything you do.

Good content man, looking forward to hearing more of your story going forward!

[nuelaanye]

I really appreciate how honest you are and how you encourage people to try to get a job not just listening to what others think or say ❤🥂

Love your videos! I'm on week 4 of CS50 and have some background experience with coding, but not with C. I wouldn't have felt confident at all to even look at jobs yet, but this really inspired me! I think people that are learning programming feel like they never have enough experience or education (bootcamps, courses, etc.), but you really prove them all wrong.

Thank so much for this video, I have some knowledge of JavaScript html css and some frameworks but I felt I wasn’t understanding what I was doingand started being demotivated. I’m in my third week of cs50 and I feel really good this is what I needed, the confident is back and I’m sure it’s gonna a boost for my career (started coding at 37 now I’m 40 and 3 kids). Thanks again

Excellent video! Awesome advices and I'm glad you speak this fast - totaly the type of video I like to watch.

[runricksanchez]

Thanks man, hope you get the job, i'm just starting and hit week 5 like a wall, had to go back to week 2 and finally everything is coming together.

I would say if your going into any game development jobs and they see a Harvard certification on computer science then that’s an easy yes for them.

[dajunonator]

thank you for the informative video. I’m in a similar position, being a creative whos pivoting towards a drastic career change. So good to hear your experience. That being said, It’s lo and behold ! Lol!

[psychinsights]

Great video, great info & nice pace! Keep em coming!

[felipeoliveira]

Tk you so much for sharing your story. I really needed that and congrats for the courage to stand up despite ppl telling you not to. Frequently, such attitude is necesary. Subscribing to the channel now!

[MrReznov]

Hey I really needed to hear this video
Thank you brother!

[ucheucheuche]

I tell you what, these online courses are much better to feel lost and struggle with, when you spend $$$, than feeling the same at university when you owe in student loans. Rather than being the 5% permitted into Harvard to study, the gate of opportunity is opened to many online, and that's a great feeling.

Thank you for that video and sharing your experience. Super usefull!

I'm contemplating taking CS50 to compliment my Associate's in software development. Main reason being that while I was taught HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Java, and C, there was never a point where all of that was put together to make a functioning web application. I'm worried that CS50 might be too hard, especially since I'm a bit out of practice with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but I don't have the technical know how to build an adequate portfolio. I don't want to start something that I'm ultimately going to quit, but completing the course will string everything I learned together.

This is really helpful! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, bro! This helped me a lot. Would love to stay in touch with you to learn more.
