I rejected a 6-FIGURE SEVERANCE PAY!
Why I Refused My Severance Pay 💸
Imagine this: your company offers you a fat severance package 🤑-enough to keep you comfortable for months (or longer). Sounds like a no-brainer, right? Well, I said no. 🙅‍♂️
In this video, I’m spilling the tea ☕ on why I walked away from what seemed like an easy win. From burnout 😓 to rediscovering my purpose ✨, I’ll share the highs, the lows, and the moment I decided to bet on myself.
This isn’t just about money 💵-it’s about passion, identity, and taking back control. If you’ve ever faced a tough decision, you’ll definitely relate.

    I'm now in my final semester of college and I'm experiencing this dilemma, whether I want to be a software engineer or an ML engineer. There is too much learning provided on campus, the scope of IT is very broad and no one teaches where to focus. Then this video appeared, answering the dilemma I had been experiencing all this time. Thank You.

    Hello is DSA preparation required for interview in data scientist? Great video by the way ❤️

    • @alextech.
      @alextech. 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @OmkarKambar-b8c Thanks for the love! ❤️ For data scientist roles, DSA (Data Structures & Algorithms) isn’t always a major focus like it is for software engineering roles, but having a good grasp can be helpful. Most interviews will emphasize statistics, machine learning concepts, and practical coding problems, but it never hurts to brush up on the basics of DSA, especially if you’re applying to tech giants. Good luck with your interviews ;) By the way, I have a video about how to "Prepare for coding interviews in 1 week" :P

    • @alextech.
      @alextech. 21 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Great question, Chintan! To explore both fields, try a simple data science project on Kaggle using Python and Jupyter Notebooks. For software engineering, build a basic project (like a calculator) on freeCodeCamp or with Python. This hands-on experience will help you decide which path suits you better. Good luck!

      @ChintanGhava Great question! I'd try some hands-on projects in IT to get a real feel for it. Maybe start with basic coding or play around with cloud tech using free resources. See what clicks with you-sometimes, the practical experience makes your decision clearer! Good luck!
