This talk is about how to use your bachelor to craft your tech career. I started with what I have done and some examples of where my friends have reached. Then I focused on things to consider for selecting and doing projects for technical subjects in bachelor study.
After that I opened up the secrets of selecting a company and doing internship. To concluded I gave some tips on approaching the job market.
47. Conclusion/Recap
Be informed of the latest technology, framework and other news in
the tech/web dev industry.
Start a blog, make a Linked In profile. Have some good GitHub public
activity.
Bachelor study is 4 years, utilize it to the fullest.
Passing exams is a must, just being able to program will not earn you
a degree.
Use academic projects to build a ladder to a great internship project.
Exploit your internship opportunity to land your first job.
Focus on a language or framework or CMS, don't try to learn
everything.
Learning is a continuous process even after you get a job.
Suggestion : Pursue a Master after working for 2-3 years.
