USA vs. India - Software Engineering (Computer Science, College, Coding Bootcamp)

Ever wondered how software engineering is different in the U.S.A compared to in India? In this video, Indian software engineer Rachit Jain and American software developer Clement Mihailescu discuss the differences between America and India, including the importance of a computer science degree and of going to a top college (IIT, Harvard).

Wow, that guy looks exactly how Clement would look if he was from India.

In our next collab, the video will start with a magic trick performed by me!
Thanks for having me over on your channel buddy! Hope this was fun to watch and useful to the programming community!

How prestigious is IIT?
Every year more than 15 Lakhs people fight for less than 10k seats

India has some of the brightest minds in the tech scene. Had the pleasure to work with some guys from Hyderabad and Chennai. Very knowledgable of the code stack and always willing to spend extra hours on issues.

*Plot Twist* : Clement and Rachit were twins and Clement was lost when they been to America for a trip. They found each other in Youtube!.. God Bless You Guys😂😂

15:06 - "Companies do not discriminate based on college". They actually do. A LOT! Maybe you have not seen it because you are from an IIT, but India has tens of thousands of colleges spewing out millions of graduates every year. Companies just straight away filter away all the lower tier resumes during screening.

Indian version of Clement 🙄🤣. The hairstyles, noses, eyebrows everything literally same😯

1. You need a degree at a reputable College
2. No backlogs
3. Minimum CGPA
4. Connections.

Being from India, i truly wanted this, never knew a top resource man on YT will read my mind and make a video on it, u truly are a magician clement(speaking of which, where are the card tricks nowadays, i miss those)

[adkrgu]

Rachit talks for 20 minutes
Clement talks for 2 minutes

[emmanuelhardy]

im from the US but i always learn in an indian format they explain so much easier

[anshumansingh]

It's really fascinating that Rachit didn't even mention competitive programming, I think in India competitive programming is more important that building great projects, ye sahi palti mari bhai apne firangi ke samne, hmmmm.

[ojuswi]

I thought Clem is the one, who starts speaking and never takes a pause to breathe.
Now I take my words back.

[australianpanda]

"No computer science degree" we're really gonna pretend a math degree from one of the best schools in the country played no role?

[FatherPhi]

I think people should keep in mind that these guys still have really good degree in the STEM field, without a degree at all you need to go a different route, much more difficult to jump straight into FAANG because you'll basically be auto rejected, even boot camps are in the same boat now... Small startups and small business might be interested though, that's how I got my start, and networking is important too... Experience is def key for non degree holders

[gamingwithrksaver]

Love from India Gud discussion.... I'm also preparing for Internships for coding jobs without a CS degree.

[TheKewlP]

Taking" lost in Kumbh Mela" to next level

[nishantpall]

To summarize, both gave a good amount of advertisements for their own business, absolutely loved it.

[Varun]

Rachit is definitely talking alot but whatever he is saying is totally true and important, thanks clément for this video, keep it up bro 👍, Love from India 🇮🇳

Companies in India judges student on the basis of CGPA no matter how good are you in your respective skills. IF you have a CGPA of 9 but you don't have any practical skills then for a company you are the one who can learn things which takes months to learn.
